So I totally forgot about this site till I got a email from one of the mods about it. Seems this section is mostly dead except for the weekly news threads so I thought I would post some reviews of the 39 disc set I recently got for about $35. Here we go:

1-6-96

Tony and Dusty are on commentary and are constatnly pluggin the Clash of Champions from vegas(Hogan/Savage vs Flair/Giant in the main event)

Eddie Guerrero vs The Gambler:
- Match is joined in progress but it really gets interesting when Gambler fucks up a move and Eddie gets pissed. Eddie destroys him with a brutal brainbuster and then a "jackknife" or as we know it: The Frogsplash.

Disco Inferno vs Black Bart
- This pretty much sucked. Yes it's the same Black Bart from World Class wrestling fame. Disco wins with Neckbreaker

Meng vs Mike Davis:
- Another not very good squash match.Tony and Dusty kept hard selling the Clash of the champions that is was "For Free and not like our competition that's rumbling for a price". Meng wins with the death grip.

Johnny B Badd vs David Taylor for the TV title
- Good match with both guys going at it on the mat. I forgot that Mero used to be actually good. Taylor rules it with the uppercuts and the bridges. Finish was great with Taylor flipping into the ring and Badd just knocking him out.

Alex Wright vs Chris Kanyon
- Man Kanyon's offense is great at times. Wright held his own but Kanyon held this together. Best thing about it is it wasn't really a Squash match like I thought it would be. Wright wins with a german suplex

Hugh Morris w/Meng vs Mark Starr
- Too bad Starr is not as good as Kanyon. Hugh wins with the No Laughing Matter and almost lands on Mark's face.

-The Horsemen(Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman) vs the American Males
: Good back and forth match with Pillman getting the win with a roll up. Tony and Dusty keep hapring on Pillman's "Loose Cannon" gimmick and how it's causing problems with the Horsemen vs Dungeon of Doom.

Main Event: Lex Luger vs the Cobra
- I don't know why they didn't end with Horsemen/Males but this was the final match. I don't think I have to tell ya how it ended as you should already know. Alright it ended with the Torture Rack.

Show ends with a Hogan/Savage interview about the Clash. The show also featured a Flair/Giant interview and part one of the Mike Ditka interview about Mongo(WILL DITKA JOIN WCW? Find out next week)

39 discs? Holy crap. How long of a time frame do they cover, and is it all just Saturday night shows? I just had a total flashback.

Wow..I remember that Mongo/Ditka crap. They promoted the hell out of it on Nitro for weeks.

Good thing the Gambler knew when to walk away and knew when to run.

Curious if the "Mike Davis" was the same guy from CWF/Global and other various smaller promotion of the late 80's and early 90's. I think he was 1/2 of the "Rock n' Roll RPMs". WCW would employ a lot of stiffs like that at this time (like Black Bart and Steve Doll).

And hey...glad you're back, Timmy!

Yeah it's just the Saturday Night shows: Here's the review for the 1-13-96 episode:

Show starts with clips from Nitro with The Giant attacking Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage.

Oh yeah this has potential, two great talents. Before the match, we have a Insert Regal interview from backstage who talks about his rivalry.

Just as the match was getting really good the Blue Bloods come in for the DQ and Finlay takes care of them both.

Winner: DDP

5. Blue Bloods(Eaton and Taylor) w/Regal vs Sting and Lex Luger
- Now it's going to get interesting as the Tag champs take on the Blue Bloods. Taylor starts off by putting Sting in some submissions.

Final thoughts: Started out good but too many Squash matches. Finlay/Armstrong was really good and worth watching.

Who was that guy wrestling Joey Maggs? He sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't believe we've ever heard of him before.

I remember the "Men at Work". By any chance, were they announced as hailing from "The Land Down Under"?

Nah they hailed from "The Construction site" or something like that.

Winner: Konnan

WCW Hotline report: Who is being asked to do Hollywood movies?(It isn't Hogan) and more on Brian Pillman.

Lex Luger interview: he wants another chance.

Final thoughts. Good show overall with some nice matches.

I remember kinda' liking the stupid "Luger always has excuses and is unreliable" angle. They had an angle on Nitro where they showed Luger camped out in front of an arena (complete with a blanket and reading a book), so he wouldn't miss his shot against the Giant. Wonderfully goofy crap.

Of course, like most things in WCW in the 90's: "the angle went nowhere".

That WAS a pretty good angle, if not one of the best ones that Luger was ever in, (which isn't saying a whole lot, besides the Lex Express.)

5-11-96

4. Billy Kidman vs DDP
- DDP is making his return to wcw here. He looks like he's lost some weight. Maybe it's the new outfit I don't know. Poor Kidman didn't have a chance as DDP just destroys him. Shark and Big Bubba are sitting in the crowd for no particular reason. DDP wins.

4. Sting vs Steven regal
- Good match although short. They would have a better match at the Great American bash. Sting wins

Great American Bash control center: Already booked: Giant/Luger for the title, Flair/Arn vs Greene/Mongo, Sullivan/Benoit, Malenko vs the debuting Rey Jr.

5. Barbarian vs Randy Savage:
- This is the match that was booked but Savage was banned from TV. This leads to one of my favorite WCW angles. Savage comes out from the crowd and wants Barbarian. Mean Gene and a member of the WCW commitee come out and say Savage is suspended. Savage snaps and slaps the guy. He then gives him the Elbow Drop. The cops come in and Savage attacks them and leaves. Outstanding angle. Pissed off savage is the best ever.

Final thoughts: That last angle saved this show from being pretty boring. Savage is awesome. Plus i'm pretty sure this was the week Hall showed up and WCW changed forever.
