The match is underway. Abbot swings with a wide right and misses, Goldberg clobbers him with a side-kick. Abbot tries another punch, Goldberg instead blocks it, pounds away and hits a front chancery take-over. Goldberg sets up for the spear but Rick Steiner interferes from the ramp(?) and hits Goldberg with a couple of the softest chair shots in wrestling history. Abbot covers with one foot but Goldberg kicks out. Steiner and Abbot with some extremely uninspired (and boring) clubbing and stomping, until The NWO Wolfpac's music hits. I'm totally lost right now, but okay. Abbot and Steiner go for a doublewhip, Goldberg reverses, Kevin Nash drags Steiner to the floor as Goldgberg finishes Abbot with a spear/jackhammer combo. DUD. Boring match, with no substance and no real attempt at any work. Considering who was involved maybe we should be thankful for that, though. Although I consider it a bit too short to dip into the negatives. |

So yeah, you're Tempest. Anyone named after my favorite early 80's spinny-knob arcade game is okay. Of course by "Classic" you mean "steaming pile" :) When and where did this take place? I'm thinking it might've been around Spring 2000, when Goldberg was feuding with Scott Steiner (hence the Rick Steiner run-in). |

Honestly, I was only sporadically watching WCW by this point. According to the video it took place during a "big comeback" of Goldbergs. And it definitely happened after he nearly killed Bret with that kick, becasue they made reference to it at one point. |

I think I saw that match when it aired. I was pretty markish back then so I wouldn't have cared about work-rate, but I think even I was bored by it. Welcome to da board. |

After searching NITRO archives (darn you! Do you see what you made me do?!!), it looks like it was on June 5, 2000. So, you're right--it was Goldberg's big comeback after punching out a limousine window. The same episode also featured the Goldberg MONSTER TRUCK!! ..and Ms. Hancock.... umm, excuse me for a minute.... |

Up next is a match that actually has the possibility to be pretty decent The Undertaker vs. British Bulldog from a 1995 epsiode of WWF RAW for the WWF title. This should be interesting. I've always found Undertaker wrestling "strong-man" type of opponents entertaining. And Bulldog fits the bill here. Bulldog bails to start, 'Taker chases, Bulldog hammers away as he slides back inside. Bulldog with the whip, backdrop telegraphed 'Taker with a hair takedown. Bulldog whipped across from corner to corner, Taker with a choke. Another whip in and 'Taker gets his trademark flying clothesline. Taker with the rope-walk but its countered with an armdrag. Taker sits up. Bulldog tries for a whip, gets reveresed and eats a big boot. Taker with a bodyslam, the big jumping elbow that always misses..... of course, misses. Back up now and Bulldog clotheslines 'Taker over the top, but Taker stays standing and grabs an oncoming Cornette. Bulldog uses this distraction and clips 'Taker's knee before throwing him into the steps. Cut to a commercial, we're back with Bulldog whailing away on Taker's knee. Bulldog pulls Taker up and tries a whip across but 'Taker simply collapses. Bulldog with a not oft-seen single leg crab. Back up, Taker fights back with a kick, headbutt, and a few punches. Bulldog quickly regains the advantage and tries for his Powerslam but Taker slips out and hits a back suplex. 'Taker back up, and surprisingly (for him anyway) he's still selling the knee (and quite well, too). We get a slugfest now that Taker gets the advantage in. 'Taker with a one-legged rope walk, and he actually sells the knee on the landing. Bulldog whipped in, Taker telegraphs a backdrop and gets piledrived (driven?) for his effort and for a nice nearfall. Bulldog with a vertical suplex for another two, and a bodyslam for a third two. 'Taker continues sitting up. Both men back up now, 'Taker ducks a clothesline and nails the chokeslam before King Mabel jumps 'Taker causing the disqualification. *1/2- I enjoyed it well enough. Bulldog was his always dependable, if not fantastic, self and Undertaker really seemed to have his selling boots on tonight. It was a perfectly solid little match. |

This one sure looks like an odd one: Undertaker vs. Jinsei Shinjaki (Hakushi) credited to Michinoku Pro of all places. Lets check it out. Hakushi is/was awesome and all, but I'm not sure he's going to put on that good of a match with The Undertaker here. Holy shit, the house lights just came up and 'Taker is definitely in a Japanese ring. Hakushi starts the match lying down (he was lying down since he entered the ring). He stands up and Undertaker chokeslams him quickly. This one's pretty much in the bag. Hakushi actually makes it back up to his feet and gets nailed with a big right hand, and another as he stands up again. Taker with a couple rights in the corner, Hakushi whipped across and he gets clobbered with a blig clothesline. Taker covers for two. Taker with the ropewalk for another two. Hakushi back up, he's whipped across and goes up and over the post to the floor. On the floor now Undertaker follows Hakushi around punching him. It should probably be noted that in the WWF at this time this match would've ended about seven minutes ago. Also, Hakushi hasn't actually gotten any offense in yet. Taker back in, and he catches Hakushi with a right hand on the apron. Taker with an outside-in suplex for two. 'Taker with a whip and a clothesline misses, Hakushi actually gets some offense in now, in the form of a couple karate chops, but a big boot shuts him down. Taker attempts the big jumping elbow that always misses..... and of course, misses. Hakushi is up now, with a look on his face not unlike that of an enraged pitbull and hammers 'Taker. 'Taker tries for a whip but runs into two boots to the face. Hakushi with a headscissors now for two. Hakushi with some headbutts in the corner but Taker shoves him off. Hakushi comes back with a kick and more mounted headbutts but gets flung off. 'Taker with a chokeslam attempt that Hakushi backflips out of. Taker trying to maintain his advantage goes for a kick but gets caught and legwhipped. Hakushi now focuses his attacks on the leg, continually falling headbutting it. Hakushi muscles 'Taker back to the corner and sets him up in the tree of woe and chokes away before pounding on the leg some more. Hakushi with a chop, but 'Taker fires back with some brawling and heavy clubbing blows. 'Taker standing on Hakushi's neck now. Hakushi back up now, he goes back to the leg and stomps Taker down before hitting a top-rope headbutt. Taker bails to the floor, Hakushi tries a dive and gets posted for his troubles. Hakushi back in, Taker with a punch, a whip and his trademark clothesline for two. 'Taker now attempts to pick up Hakushi but he fires back with several kicks to the injured leg. Off the ropes Hakushi gets caught out of a crossbody but floats behind and kicks at the leg some more. Hakushi with another legwhip to further weaken the leg. Hakushi heads up top for a moonsault and nails it for two. Hakushi with another top rope headbutt attempt but 'Taker sits up. Taker nails his second chokeslam of the match, for only two. Hakushi makes it back up to his feet, Taker stalks up behind him and hits a quick Tombstone for three. **- For what it was it was actually quite good. 'Taker played his role really well as the big mean monster, and Hakushi showed his ability to play a solid underdog face. 'Taker sold the knee quite well and Hakushi was smart enough to keep going back to it. The story being told here, with 'Taker coming on full bore only for Hakushi to keep slowing him down with shots to the leg (which was the real turning point in the early going) and then going high risk to try to end the match early was really quite well done. One of the most sublte moments of the match really was the finish, with 'Taker getting a tombstone in from basically left field like he did. It was kind of building up at that moment that 'Taker had to hit something drastic and quick before Hakushi could mount another comeback, so he hit his best move the absolute second he could. Anyway, pretty good match. |

Oh man, wait until Scrooge sees this. I dared give an old Undertaker match a **1/2 rating several months ago and he ripped me for it :P |

New match up: Kane vs. The Acolytes (Bradshaw and Faarooq) I don't know why, but Kane is defending the tag team titles against the Acolytes in a handicap match. This one isn't going to be pretty. Kane jumps the gun, attacking the Acolytes on the floor. Bradshaw gets thrown to the steps as Faarooq and Kane brawl some more. Inside now, Kane pounds on Faarooq in the corner. Kane gets a whip and Faarooq gets goozled. Bradshaw breaks it up. There's some clubbering, a whip and Kane takes a a clothesline in the corner. More clubbering, Kane gets a sidewalk slam off a whip. Kane with an elbow drop, Faarooq in now, and he gets tossed out. Randomly, JR namedrops Buffalo New York, which is close to my hometown, actually. Kane with a flying clothesline on Bradshaw. Bradshaw with a whip in and a boot, but Kane recovers and clotheslines him over the top. Kane gets dragged to the floor and beaten, not unlike a Government mule. Kane fights back throwing Bradshaw across the announcer's table and clubbering away on Faarooq. Kane with a whip attempt reveresd by Faarooq into a Bradshaw clothesline. Double team now, Kane goes to the table and gets whipped hard into the steps. Bradshaw and Faarooq now with clubbering. Back inside now, Kane takes a double vertical for two. Kane whipped again to the corner, but he comes back with a clothesline. Bradshaw now rams Kane into the corner, more double team pounding. Faarooq gets the tag in, Bradshaw tagged back in after more non-descript pounding. Bradshaw with yet another whip, Kane reverses but runs into a boot in the corner. Bradshaw tries for the CFH, but Kane ducks and gets a chokelslam. Faarooq is in to break it up, and he takes a short-arm clothesline. Bradshaw bails to the outside and grabs a chair, meanwhile Kane gets Faarooq goozled. Bradshaw back in with a couple of chairshots as Faarooq has the zebra-striped man distracted. The Acolytes with a doubleteam neckbreaker now for the three. Oh man, that was ugly. 3/4* Really nothing special. The typical ugly, disjointed, and boring brawl you'd expect from 1999 era Acolytes and Kane. |

I think I remember this match too. It makes me think about how obnoxious it was in No Mercy for the N64 when story mode keeps booking you against the APA in handicap matches in the back. |

Something new (but nothing blue) Sting and Lex Luger vs. Rick and Scott- The Steiner Brothers- WCW Tag-Team Championship Match I'm looking forward to reviewing this quite a bit. Sting was really good at this point, Luger was solid and The Steiners were both still in their respective primes. Handshake to start. Rick and Lex start, big tieup. Luger shoves him off, Steiner tries it again, trying to drive Luger to the corner to no avail. Steiner powers Luger into the corner but breaks cleanly. Another tieup, Luger with an armdrag. Another tiepup, Steiner gets a wastelock and rides Luger. Luger gets to the ropes to break it. Another lockup, Luger with a standing headlock. Headlock takedown, Rick reverses out. Back up, Rick gets a doubleleg takedown into the ropes. Lockup again, Luger gets caught in a headlock. Luger presses Rick to the ropes to break. Luger with another standing headlock, Stiener throws him off and tries a shoulderblock but simply bounces off. Back up, Rick gets whipped in and powerslammed for two. Stiener whipped to the corner, Luger charges and misses and Rick nails a gorgeous release German Suplex. Rick with a Steinerline for two. Luger whipped across now, and he gets backdropped. Luger back up, he gets whipped across, but explodes from the corner with a big clothesline for a 360 sell from Stiener. Back up, Stiener whipped in and caught with a big military press slam. Luger now tags Sting in for the first time. Sting stalks Rick and clotheslines him over the top and to the floor. Sting now with a plancha on Rick. That was an impressive move in 1991. Back inside, Sting nails a running bulldog on the future DFG. Steiner pops up, and starts barking (and no-selling) until Sting picks him up and runs him chest first into the buckles out've a backbreaker position. Sting with a Stingersplash, but Rick ducks and gets the tag to Scott. Scott in hott (yeah, two t's) and nails a double underhook powerbomb. Sting back up, whipped in and he takes a tilt-a-whirl slam. Scott with a whip now, but Sting counters with a stungun style move to stop his momentum. Luger back in now, he gets a vertical suplex. Sting back in, and he takes an inverted atomic drop for his troubles. Scott now hits a very impressive belly-to-belly off the top rope for a long two. Weird sequence now as Scott sets Sting on the top-rope and tries for a clothesline which Sting avoids. Why he needed to use the top-rope for that I'll never know.... Luger tagged back in now, he gets a vertical suplex on Scott for two. Luger with a whip, Steiner avoids, uhh, something and gets a single-armed slam. Back up, Luger with a whip and a powerslam. Luger back up, he's signalling for the Wrack. Wrack attempt, but Scott counters with a Russian legsweep. That's the first time I've seen that. Scott with a tag, Luger whips Scott and turns his back long enough for Rick to get a top-rope bulldog headlock that he follows up with an elbowdrop for a long two. Out of nowhere Sting nails Rick with a missile dropkick, after getting a tag that the refferree didn't see. Rick nails Sting now, before turning to brawl a bit with Luger. Steiner with a headlock, Luger whips him off and both men take each other out. Both men now tag their respective parnters in and we've got a brawl between Sting and Scotty. Sting counters a punch with a sloppy backsuplex. Sting with some punches and a whip, but Scott clobbers him when he ducks too early. Scott with a tombstone piledriver attempt, but Sting floats back and gets one of his own. Sting with a cover 1.....2, but Rick Stiener breaks it up. Luger now, seemingly enraged comes in and takes out both Rick and the refferree with a clothesline. Rick and Luger are brawling on the floor, as Sting reverses a whip and gets the Stinger splash back inside. Suddenly, we pan down the entry way to see a silhouetted Nikita Kolloff. Kolloff charges the ring, Sting throws himself in front of Luger and gets nailed with The Russian Sickle leading to Scott Steiner getting the three count in short order. Winners and still champions: The Steiners ***: Great match. All four men seemed to be on their game, as everyone just went out there and played their roles very well. Just a very well booked and well wrestled match with some good action. I liked it quite a bit. Very good. My only real complaint was that, it kind've started off a little slow at first. But when it really gained momentum it was solid. |

New match: Razor Ramon vs. Yokozuna This one's not gonna be pretty..... Its pretty scary to think the most talented person involved in this match is Jim Cornette, Yoko's manager. We get our bell to start, Yoko jumps a distracted Ramon from the outset with some clubbing blows and stomping. Yoko with a headbutt, followed by a whip and a clothesline. Another Yoko clothesline, but Ramon ducks and wails away with some rights of his own. A discuss punch sends Yoko out through the second rope. Ramon follows, and sends Yoko's head to the steps. Yoko stalks away, and uses the Cornettes racket to regain the advantage. Shouldn't that be a disqualification? How much could a tennis wracket huty anyway? So many unanswered questions...... Razor tries to come back in, but he gets tossed right back out. Ramon tries to enter again, but Yoko clubbers him off. Yoko now bringa Ramon back in, and he gets the dreaded (not to mention dreadfully boring) nerve lock. Ramon fights back now with more punching. Yoko's rocked, but he clobbers his way back into it. Yoko with a bodyslam now. Yoko with his 600,000,000 pound legdrop. Ramon now rolls to the floor. Ramon comes back in and gets nerve locked. Does Yoko think he's Mister Spock or something? Yoko with a pinning move for two. Yoko with another nerve hold. This is booooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg............. I'm fairly certain time has stopped..... I'm gonna go eat a sandwhich. Wait a minute!!!!! Razor fights up, tries a clothesline takes a reverse elbow. Yoko with a running splash attempt, but Ramon rolls out of the way. Ramon with an arm over for two, as Yoko gets his foot on the rope. Back up, Razor nails some more rights. Yoko rakes the eyes to stop it. Ramon retreats to the opposite corner and gets whipped across. Yoko misses his running butt splash. Ramon hammers away now with punches, kicks, and a clothesline. A couple more clotheslines and Yoko finally goes down. Ramon now signalling for The Razors Edge (yeah right....) but Crush interferes and pounds down Ramon drawing the DQ at an excruciating 12:15. Postmatch, Lex Luger runs in and runs Yoko and Crush off. Winner: Razor Ramon -**1/2: That sucked. Whoever thought booking Yoko to go over five minutes was a moron. Especially against Razor, who isn't any kind a of a miracle worker and whose style didn't really mesh well with Yoko's. Just a terrible match. |

New Match "Sparky Plug" Bob Holly vs. Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw This one's gonna be dirty anal-cam ugly. Speaking of "ugly", you've got to see Bradshaw's coat and facial hair here. Its like a combination of The Bezerker and The Highlander's fur coats. Actually, he kind of looks like Tyler Mane (as Sabretooth) from the X-Men movie. Bradshaw jumps Holly from behind to start with some kicks and clubbing blows and some stomps. Bradshaw with a bodyslam now. Elbow drop, make it two. Back up, Bradshaw with some knees. Holly whipped off, Bradshaw ducks his head early and catches a kick to the face. Holly with some rights, but he runs into a bigboot. Back up, Bradshaw gets a pumphandle slam. Holly's head to the buckle now. Whipped across, and Bradshaw stomps. Another big whip across this time, Holly bumps hard. Floatover vertical suplex for two on Holly. Bradshaw goes back to stomping. Bradshaw with a Russian Legsweep for two. Holly shot off again, he ducks a clothesline. Holly gets a couple kicks and some clotheslines but can't knock Bradshaw down. Holly avoids a bigboot and finally gets him down with a flying clothesline. Holly with some shots in the corner, Bradshaw counters back with a knee and a whip across. Holly reverses, charges and misses a running splash. Bradshaw hits a big lariat for the academic (my dear Watson....) three. 3/4*- I don't like handing out DUDs. Not to mention, it really wasn't anything offensive. Just a basic squash. |
