WCW C-level shows really are the place to go for the “Wait, did that really happen” matches. This is two guys on totally different levels of the WCW hierarchy, but I’m curious exactly how much they’ll do in five minutes. Savage offers a handshake at the start but Ultimo doesn’t accept it. Savage then offers … Continue reading Randy Savage vs. Ultimo Dragon (WCW Worldwide 1/31/1998)
Lex Luger vs. Barbarian (WCW Saturday Night 6/15/96)
Luger is the TV champion while Barbarian is one-half of the Faces of Fear. Luger is about to face Giant and the announcers wonder if he’ll be able to get a submission with the Torture Rack.Barbarian gets the early advantage by running Luger over with a shoulder tackle. Luger backs off before trying to use … Continue reading Lex Luger vs. Barbarian (WCW Saturday Night 6/15/96)
Harlem Heat vs. The Steiner Brothers (WCW Saturday Night 6/15/96)
These two teams faced off a lot; this is one of their lower profile matches. The Steiners are on the road to a collision with Fire & Ice. Scott runs over Booker T and then throws him with hiptoss where it looked like Booker almost landed on his feet. Scott follows that up with a … Continue reading Harlem Heat vs. The Steiner Brothers (WCW Saturday Night 6/15/96)
The Outsiders vs. Sting & The Giant (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
So after a show long tease of Scott Hall not showing up, he’s here. Dusty Rhodes is with the Outsiders because when you think about the cool nWo offshoot you think Dusty. Hall talks before the match and wants to take a little survey, in public if you will. It’s still bizarre that they let … Continue reading The Outsiders vs. Sting & The Giant (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
Bret Hart vs. Randy Savage (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
This is announced by Michael Buffer as a grudge match FROM HELL. He also lets us know Bret is wearing black and purple which doesn’t sound right, although neither does “The Hitman” Breeeeeeeeeeet. It’s just a strange announcement. Special referee Roddy Piper is introduced second. Savage is the last man out and is wearing the … Continue reading Bret Hart vs. Randy Savage (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
Saturn vs. Goldberg (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
This was going to be a gauntlet match for Goldberg against the Flock but Saturn demanded it be a one-on-one match. Goldberg is 87-0 at this point. I appreciate the guy who didn’t make a sign and just holds up a WCW magazine. This is a rematch from Spring Stampede and Saturn thinks he’s solved … Continue reading Saturn vs. Goldberg (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
Ultimo Dragon vs. Eddie Guerrero (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
If Ultimo Dragon wins this match, Chavo Guerrero Jr. will be freed from having to follow Eddie’s instructions. Chavo shakes Ultimo’s hand, Eddie doesn’t have any interest in that. Eddie grabs a waistlock and takes Ultimo down with an armdrag. They get right back up and Ultimo handsprings out of the wristlock and gets an … Continue reading Ultimo Dragon vs. Eddie Guerrero (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
Raven vs. Diamond Dallas Page (WCW Slamboree 5/18/97)
This is a Bowery Deathmatch which is a last man standing match in a cage with a roof and with weapons. Raven has a riot squad with him to watch the aisle as he gets into the ring. That seems unnecessary with the cage but it is WCW. Raven misses a clothesline and DDP hits … Continue reading Raven vs. Diamond Dallas Page (WCW Slamboree 5/18/97)
Chris Jericho vs. Dean Malenko (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
This is Dean making his return after two months away from WCW after losing a previous title shot against Jericho. Dean won a battle royale disguised as Ciclope which happened directly before this match. Jericho tries jumping Malenko from behind but Malenko ducks it, punches Jericho into the corner then unloads on him with stomps. … Continue reading Chris Jericho vs. Dean Malenko (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
Lex Luger vs. Brian Adams (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
Vincent is with Adams. Adams is a member of the nWo which is why Lex is coming after him here. Lex and Adams throw punches as soon as Lex gets into the ring and Adams ends up getting sent over the top to the floor. Lex follows to the floor with an axe handle and … Continue reading Lex Luger vs. Brian Adams (WCW Slamboree 5/17/98)
