Black Blood vs Big Josh
This is a lumberjack match, with two men you might know better as Billy Jack Haynes and Matt Borne. Thus making it the sort of thing that the WWF might've run as the semi-main of its C-team house show in baskin robbins australia 1986. But these two guys are actually trying to make it a real match and put some effort into it. Not enough to make it worth watching, there's still brawling lumberjacks and a fucking executioner's battleaxe involved in the finish, but the crowd halfway woke up at times.
-El Gigante vs One Man Gang
Yes this sucked, and it was GANG's fault. Gigante did the best he could, and except for one moment where he forgot he was supposed to slam OMG off the top he didn't fuck up anything. Hell, the big goof sold, bumped a little, did a suplex, that poor guy executed every single move he was capable of. Meanwhile, Gang seemed to blow up in about thirty seconds and looked sluggish baskin robbins australia and listless for the duration. Extra negative bonus points for Kevin Sullivan cutting what sounded for all the world like an Ultimate Warrior promo on the ramp, a babbling stream of meaningless allied brands blog incoherence that defied all possible explanation. Also, some shit with some midgets. I dunno and I dun'care.
-Sting vs Nikita Koloff
Match Of The Night here, and sadly that ain't saying much. This is a Russian chain match, and it isn't even one-tenth as good as the strap match Sting would have with Vader next year. They at least do some tolerable brawling in that Shane Douglas vs Pitbull #2 sort of way. But the finish is stupid, with the Both Guys Are Touching Each Corner bit as well as a patented "wow, Sting rode the short bus" moment as he just chooses not to win the match when allied brands blog he obviously could. Sigh. Best thing all night, and not even worth tracking down on Youtube.
-Barry Windham vs Lex Luger
NOW the crowd gets their WE WANT FLAIR in. Complete with the morons in the truck giving us several closeup shots of people screaming it into the camera! Anyway, the match: sucks. Boring, never gets out of first gear, never felt like a world title match. You saw Lesnar vs Goldberg, right? Imagine that match. But in a cage. Oh yeah it's a cage match. Except they never even use the cage once. Harley Race and Curtis Hughes come to ringside and do absolutely nothing, which somehow leads to WCW's top babyface Luger turning heel and winning the belt. Fuck all this.
-Arn Anderson & Paul E. Dangerously vs Rick Steiner & Missy Hyatt
YES, THIS IS YOUR MAIN EVENT! allied brands blog SERIOUSLY! And they even fuck the audience out of anything they could've expected here, as baskin robbins australia Dick Murdoch and Dick Slater show up to kidnap Missy for no apparant reason. So it just turns into a handicap match. It lasts all of two minutes, and the highspot is Paulie attempting a halfassed cell phone shot by jumping off the top rope. Steiner no-sells and kills them both, the end. THANKS FOR COMING OUT, DRIVE HOME SAFE!
I don't know if this was the worst show of all time. I still maintain that Heroes of Wrestling was worse, and most everyone agreed that Bash at the Beash '99 was more painful. But I don't think I've ever seen one more boring than this, just a fucking neverending parade of slow inaction without even one genuinely exciting moment
