One of the best PPVs ever. No, really.

Good Stuff!

Bad Stuff!

Wrestlecrap!

  • The NWA were kind enough to save all the bad stuff on the show and put it into The Dynamic Dudes vs. The Skyscrapers. The Dudes’ are hilarious just to look at, but here they try and play Frisbee with a fat kid at ringside who looks petrified of the two mullets. Ace and Douglas’ performances in-ring are sloppy and Spivey is off his game too, leaving SID VICIOUS to save the match. Which he nearly does, as the manly crowd cheers for the heel Sid and chants ”WE WANT SID” whenever he isn’t tagged in. Sadly SidaMania isn’t enough to save the match which ends with a fucked up powerbomb that Spivey doesn’t even have the courtesy to re-do.
  • Given Heyman’s complete lack of ring work at this point, Cornette struggled to inform which knee of his to attack (one was genuinely still in bad shape after his scaffold match bump) so Heyman ended up striking BOTH knees so he’d be half-right (and half-wrong, natch).
  • Jim Ross mouths along to everything Flair says as he says it, making you wonder if Flair is reading a Teleprompter when he bellows ”I’M GONNA DOG YOU UNTIL I WEAR…YOUR…TEXAS…ASS…OUT!”

Overall!
If you’re a fan of NWA/WCW/JCP and have an attention span, then you’ve probably already watched it. If not, it’s all on good ol’ YouTube so you have no excuse to not watch it.
