Hello and welcome to another edition
of Seanomaniac Wrestling Reviews, the only wrestling review series on the
internet that is more despised than Ryback on Twitter! It’s WCW Beach Blast
1992! This is considered a quality show from WCW like WrestleWar 1992, we have
Flyin’ Brian Pillman taking on Scotty Flamingo for the WCW Light Heavyweight
Championship, we have Cactus Jack having the biggest match of his career by
taking on Sting in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. The Miracle Violence Connection
challenging The Steiners for the WCW Tag Team Championships and Rick Rude vs
Ricky The Dragon Steamboat in an Iron Man Match. This is a very exciting card
based on what I can see so high hopes for this one and WrestleWar did deliver.
(WCW Light
Heavyweight Championship Match) Flyin’ Brian Pillman © vs Scotty Flamingo
Scotty Flamingo had risen the ranks of
the rather small WCW Light Heavyweight Division and is taking on the Ace in
Flyin’ Brian Pillman. Pillman desperately needs people to work with or a change
in gimmick so Flamingo should fit nicely in the role. Absolutely jarring to see
Flamingo when being so accustomed to Raven but I do like the Flamingo gimmick
and Raven is a natural as a heel. Flamingo is undefeated going into this one,
Flamingo takes down Pillman and posing for the fans. Flamingo is countered by
Pillman, they trade reversals with Pillman getting the better of the
challenger. Elbow counter by Flamingo but Pillman lands a drop toehold into a
hammerlock with knees for good measure.
Flamingo reaches the ropes to survive,
Flamingo pushes Pillman to the ropes and lands two rights. Crucifix into the
victory roll for two, Flamingo is petrified of the champion. Hammerlock from
Pillman, we go to the corner and Flamingo lands a low elbow. Irish whip to the
opposite buckle but Pillman leaps over and lands a hip-toss into a short-arm
scissors. Despite Flamingo’s best efforts, Pillman continues working the arm
with arm-breakers etc. Flamingo sells the arm well, eye-rake from Flamingo.
Irish whip and a tilt-a-whirl head-scissors, dropkick too. Flamingo is dumped
to the floor after being caught in the ropes, Flamingo avoids the dive.
However, Pillman doesn’t dive and lands an apron axe handle to Flamingo.
Vicious chop on the floor, Pillman
climbs high. Flamingo throws Pillman off the top rope, stomps from Flamingo for
a close two. Flamingo dumps Pillman to the floor, plancha to the floor. In the
ring, Pillman mounts a brief comeback but Flamingo swats him down. Clubbing
blows and stomps from Flamingo, forearm across the chest from Flamingo. Make it
two, Flamingo wanted a running right hand but Pillman slingshots in with a
crossbody for two. Flamingo is up first and lands a clothesline for two,
Flamingo rakes the eyes. Snap-mare into the reverse chin-lock, Pillman escapes
and lands a shoulder block before Flamingo lands a knee to the ribs. Flamingo
tries a corner splash but Pillman dodges, can the champion make a move?
Flamingo rakes the eyes again,
snap-mare into the reverse chin-lock. Pillman sends Flamingo to the ropes, sleeper
from the champion. Flamingo rams Pillman into the buckle to stay alive, both
men clock one another with right hands and they are down. They trade blows on
their knees until Flamingo again rakes the eyes, Flamingo is on the middle rope
and tries an axe handle but Pillman lands a massive dropkick. More blows traded
before Pillman lands a spinning heel kick, Flamingo meets the buckle. Chops and
Pillman lands ten punches to the head. Flamingo counters the Irish whip but
eats a boot, Pillman runs into the powerslam and Flamingo gets two with a
handful of tights.
Flamingo slaps the shit out of Pillman
and boots him in the head, Flamingo celebrates prematurely and eats a belly to
back superplex for two as Flamingo places a foot on the ropes. Massive chop by
Pillman, Flamingo reverses an Irish whip but lowers his head, Pillman lands a
face-buster. Flamingo eats a clothesline to the back of the head and is
clotheslined onto the ramp. Pillman wants a plancha to the ramp but Flamingo
dodges, Pillman smashes his head off the ramp and as Pillman crawls back into
the ring, Flamingo lands a middle rope knee-drop to the head for the win.
Solid opening match from these two,
Pillman makes Flamingo work for it here showcasing that Flamingo is much more
than a pretty boy and the real deal which is what you need if a new champion is
going to be crowned. Love that Flamingo heels it up as much as possible here,
multiple eye-rakes and handfuls of tights. It is not Liger vs Pillman levels of
good but it is far better than I thought it would be and I think these two
could continue to feud and we could have even more fun matches, Pillman dropping
the title here though could lead to bigger things for Pillman, no denying that
Pillman deserves to be in that United States Heavyweight Championship scene.
Winner: Scotty
Flamingo over Flyin’ Brian Pillman via Diving Knee-Drop!
Ron Simmons vs
The Taylor Made Man
Terrence Taylor my favourite jobber to
the stars taking on powerhouse Ron Simmons, I can just see how this one is
going to go and I am going to enjoy it regardless of length. Taylor immediately
dismisses Simmons before being tossed across the ring, Taylor talks about
Simmons pulling his hair. Taylor shoves Simmons and then backs off like a
coward, another lock-up. Taylor tries a hip-toss but Simmons blocks and throws
Taylor. Taylor backs Simmons to the corner, knees and a right-hand from Taylor.
Irish whip to the opposite buckle but Taylor does not see that Simmons did not
hit the buckle. Two chop-blocks before Taylor pulls Simmons to the ramp.
Simmons avoids the clothesline and atomic drops Taylor followed by a military
press slam into the ring and then a clothesline to the floor.
Scoop slam and clubbing blows from
Simmons, Simmons applies a bearhug in the middle of the ring. Taylor pokes the
eyes, headbutt from Taylor. Simmons lands a hip-toss, Simmons tries a
chop-block but Taylor ducks and Simmons lands on the ramp. Taylor slams the
head of Simmons off the mat, jaw-breaker from Taylor. Eye-rake from Taylor,
snap-mare into the snap-over neck-breaker for two. Taylor snaps on a reverse
chin-lock, back-breaker from Taylor before Simmons fires back with a sidewalk
slam. Simmons grabs Taylor by the throat, two-handed choke toss from Simmons.
Big right hands from Simmons, back body-drop from Simmons. Shoulder block and a
Powerslam from Simmons for the win.
The right kind of match for Simmons,
Simmons needs people like Taylor who can make him look good and not expose his
weaknesses, this match was good length for Simmons and it does a lot more for
Simmons than a failed feud with Abdullah The Butcher and Cactus Jack. Big plans
in Simmons’ future but can Simmons rise to the occasion?
Winner: Ron
Simmons over The Taylor Made Man via Powerslam!
Marcus Alexander
vs Greg The Hammer Valentine
So we have bland Bagwell taking on
Greg The Hammer Valentine, this might be a rough one ladies and gentlemen.
Bagwell is not bad just no flavour to him while Valentine post-WWF does not
sound like something I am going to enjoy. Valentine pushes Bagwell to the
ropes, clean break from Valentine. Hip-toss and arm-drag from Bagwell, scoop
slam and Valentine reassesses the situation. To the corner we go, Valentine
lands a massive knee. Irish whip that Bagwell reverses, Bagwell lowers his head
though. Elbow by Valentine, Bagwell blocks the piledriver. Valentine begs for
mercy but the act does not fool Valentine, atomic drop by Bagwell followed by
two dropkicks. Bagwell tries a hip-toss but Valentine lands a clothesline.
Chop by Valentine, make it two. Elbow
to the back of the head, back-breaker by Valentine. Valentine calls for a
middle rope elbow, Bagwell dodges the elbow drop. Scoop slam but Bagwell misses
the knee-drop, Valentine works the leg and wrenches it, Bagwell is in dire
straits. Valentine slaps the rookie and Valentine calls for the figure four.
Bagwell kicks off Valentine, and tries a small package for two. Valentine goes
after the leg but misses dropping all his weight on the leg. Bagwell escapes
the scoop slam and schoolboys Valentine for two, backslide for two.
Chop by Valentine, Bagwell blocks the
suplex and suplexes Valentine for two. Valentine begs for mercy, eye poke by
Valentine. Irish whip and back body drop by Bagwell, two for Bagwell. Bagwell
leaps over Valentine and tweaks his knee, right hands by Bagwell but Bagwell
lands a shin-breaker and slaps on The Figure Four Leg-Lock. Valentine walks
away with the fan!
Didn’t expect Valentine going over to
be honest but there seems to be a resistance to Bagwell already, the crowd
being against the squeaky clean babyfaces of WCW. The match was alright,
nothing offensive and maybe they have some sort of plans for Valentine but we
will see how it goes. Not as bad as I thought it would be and that is a big
compliment considering who is involved.
Winner: Greg The
Hammer Valentine over Marcus Alexander via Figure Four Leg-Lock!
(Falls Count
Anywhere Match) Cactus Jack vs Sting
This is an interesting one for a
variety of reasons, the origins of this feud stretch back to when Luger was
champion back in 1991, Cactus Jack was not the main enemy of Sting also at this
time considering Vader had almost broke the ribs of Sting so this seems
misplaced but I am all for these two fighting one another. This starts on the
ramp, Sting back body-drops Cactus on the ramp and lands a face-buster for two.
Sting misses a splash and ends up on the floor, Cactus wants to take control
and lands his Cactus Jack Elbow Drop to the floor. Cactus is on the apron
again, a diving sunset flip on the concrete for two. Why do that to yourself?
Sting blocks the guardrail and sends Cactus into the guardrail.
Cactus bounces Sting off the
guardrail, Sting back-drops Cactus into the crowd. Sting wants a suplex on the
floor, that looks painful for a two count. Cactus is whipped back ringside, we
are back in the ring. Sting catches the foot of Cactus Jack but Cactus lands a
clothesline and lands a headbutt.
Sting has his face raked by Cactus,
Irish whip to the buckle and a splash in the corner. Snap-mare into a
body-scissors, Sting elbows his way out and smashes Cactus with right hands.
Cactus rakes the eyes and lands his Cactus Jack clothesline, Cactus lands
chairshots to Sting over and over at ringside. Sting counters with a suplex,
Sting tries a Stinger splash but Cactus flapjacks Sting onto the guardrail.
Cactus cannot nail the piledriver, Cactus tries his elbow drop but Sting smacks
away Cactus. Sting lands rights and chops, scoop slam on the ramp. Sting grabs
the chair, chair-shot across the back and head from Sting. Sting goes after the
leg of Cactus, Scorpion Death-Lock is avoided as both men tumble to the floor. On
the ramp, Cactus lands a Double Arm DDT for a close two. Sting lands a
clothesline and goes to the top rope, Diving Clothesline for the win!
I am sorry what? After being drilled
with the DDT, Sting pops up and lands the diving clothesline for the win? Well
I loved the brawling that the two did during the match, they work the
stipulation well with lots of crowd-brawling and chair-shots, very different
from every other match on the card and I am happy for Cactus Jack to be
showcased instead of doing almost comedic style brawling with Abdullah The
Butcher. I am curious why this is around the feud of Sting vs Vader but this
company is bizarre to me at times so best to just see where this heads but a
very different style of match that had some great moments in there and Sting
continues to build momentum for his showdown with Vader.
Winner: Sting
over Cactus Jack via Diving Clothesline!
(Iron Man
Contest) Ravishing Rick Rude vs Ricky The Dragon Steamboat
Steamboat starts out hot chopping and
landing a gut-buster, Rude is in trouble. These two have been at one another’s
throats since Starrcade 1991, they had an ok match last time so I am wondering
how this will turn out. Non-title which is also interesting, Steamboat
continues working the ribs with massive kicks to the ribs. Irish whip and Rude
gets caught and eats more gut shots, bearhug from Steamboat. Rude manages to
knee Steamboat in the face, forearm to the head from Rude. Steamboat dodges a
right-hand and clamps on a modified bow & arrow. Steamboat is kicked off
but rolls into a Boston crab, Rude’s back and ribs are not doing well in this
match.
Rude escapes the hold but the splash
and knees keep coming from The Dragon, Rude begs for mercy. Measured kick to
the ribs, Steamboat suplexes Rude face-first. Thrust to the head for two,
Steamboat sends Rude to the corner. Rude blocks with a massive knee, Steamboat
is rocked and Rude grabs a handful of tights and gets the three! Rick Rude is
up 1:0 and Rude begins to land big knees to the ribs of Steamboat. Rude drills
Steamboat with The Rude Awakening and Rude is up 2:0! The Dragon is in real
trouble now, Rude has shown his toughness here. Back-breaker from Rude and Rude
climbs high, diving knee-drop and since it is illegal to come off the top rope,
Steamboat takes the fall. The score is 2:1 in Rude’s favour. Small package from
Rude though and now it’s 3:1!
Rude maintains his two fall lead,
Steamboat hammers the ribs and head of Rude. Steamboat lowers his head off the
Irish whip, face-buster from Rude. Rude clamps on a camel clutch, Rude releases
the hold as Steamboat reaches the ropes. Knees to the spine from Rude,
Steamboat counters the camel clutch with an electric chair drop. Steamboat
tries a splash but Rude counters with knees to the ribs, Steamboat is clubbed
down and trapped in the reverse chin-lock. Steamboat escapes but eats a knee to
the ribs, Steamboat is bounced off the buckle. Rude drills Steamboat with the
piledriver, Rude crawls into the cover for a close two. Rude is not a happy
man, Rude wants a tombstone but Steamboat is countering and drills Rude to make
the score 3:2! Rude is on the top rope, Steamboat is looking for a big
manoeuvre. Superplex with both men feeling the effects of that one, Steamboat
eventually falls into the cover but Rude kicks out at two. Steamboat misses a
right hand and both men drill one another with right hands. Steamboat bridges
up out of a cover and counters with a backslide to even the score at 3:3! Small
package by Steamboat for two, Steamboat jacknife covers for two. Flying
crossbody for two, Rude lands a jaw-breaker. Scoop slam and fist-drop from
Rude, Steamboat is up and chopping back at Rude. Throat thrust from Rude,
clubbing blows from The Ravishing One.
Rude lands a massive clothesline and
poses, throat thrust and Steamboat collapses to the mat. Rude chokes Steamboat
with the middle rope, forearms stagger The Dragon. Rude fights hard for The
Rude Awakening, Steamboat counters and covers for his own neck-breaker for a
close two. Steamboat is irate, massive knees to the head of Rude. Suplex with a
float-over for two, Steamboat will have to try harder than that to take that
seventh fall. Belly to back suplex from Steamboat for a close two, sleeper from
Rude. Steamboat bounces the head of Rude off the buckle, then the opposite
buckle but Rude has Steamboat mounted, Steamboat fades but does not fall.
Steamboat walks with Rude on his back, what is The Dragon looking to do?
Rude kicks away the arm reaching out
for the ropes, a little thing but a fantastic touch. They are working the crowd
with this one, they continue to sit in this sleeper but can Steamboat reach the
ropes. Steamboat starts to climb the turnbuckle and kicks back, falling on top
of Rude and securing the pin-fall! 4:3 to Steamboat, clothesline by Rude and a
shoulder block but Steamboat continues to kick out! Rude is panicking, small
package for two. Scoop slam for two, Steamboat escapes with the 4:3 win!
Great wrestling clinic from these two,
it is amazing how great this match is considered to what they did at
Superbrawl, fantastic wrestling all around. Steamboat with his trademark
selling is tremendous here, Steamboat would have you believe that one knee was
the most lethal blow of all-time and the sleeper spot was excellent, crowd was
in a fever pitch for this one. Rude was great in this one, selling his ribs
throughout the contest and showing his frustration throughout the match, Rude
and Steamboat are two masters of their craft and on this night, they absolutely
deliver. I want to see Steamboat go for the gold now, I am ready to have it
happen.
Winner: Ricky The
Dragon Steamboat over Ravishing Rick Rude via 4:3!
The Dangerous
Alliance vs Barry Windham/Dustin Rhodes/Nikita Koloff
Ole Anderson is your special referee,
possibly the only man who could control all these combustible elements, no more
Larry Zbyszko but it looks like we still have The Dangerous Alliance which I am
a fan of, Barry Windham looks to have aged a lot in the last few months, not
sure what is going on there but I love when Windham and Rhodes are together.
Windham and Austin to start, arm-drag and arm-bar by Windham. Austin rolls
through but Windham continues to out-work Austin before Austin lands a massive
forearm. Austin goes to the top rope, middle rope Japanese arm-drag from Windham.
Windham tags in Rhodes, shoulder block by Austin but Rhodes lands two dropkicks
to rock Austin. Fujiwara arm-bar from Rhodes, Austin tags in Eaton.
Side headlock by Rhodes, shoulder
block by Rhodes. Eaton lands a knee to the ribs, Eaton misses a corner splash.
Schoolboy by Rhodes for two, tag to Anderson. Anderson tags in and slaps
Nikita, Nikita is enraged but Anderson wants to fight Nikita in the corner.
Anderson lands a knee-drop off a snap-mare, Anderson almost gets disqualified
for coming off the top, they lock-up. We go to the ropes, Anderson lands
shoulder thrusts and a big left, Nikita ducks the forearm and tries the O’Connor
roll before landing a clothesline and sending Anderson to the floor. Eaton comes
in, they lock-up and Eaton lands an elbow and clubbing blows. Irish whip and
Nikita lands a bearhug, Anderson gets in a knee to the back but Nikita atomic
drops Eaton into Anderson and Austin is slammed down too. Team Windham stands
tall as The Dangerous Alliance talk strategy on the floor. In comes Anderson
and Windham, right hand by Windham. Anderson lands a headbutt and a left to the
head, Windham sends Anderson to the buckle. Atomic drop from Windham but
Anderson smashes heads with Windham, Dangerously tries rallying Anderson.
Windham tries yanking Anderson off the
top rope but Anderson rakes the eyes, corner shoulder block and left hands.
Windham lands a knee and an elbow to the head, Anderson is whipped to the
buckle and caught in the sleeper. Anderson counters with a belly to back
suplex, in comes Rhodes with right hands and bionic elbows. Rhodes is sent to
the buckle but Anderson sacrifices Eaton by sending Rhodes into Eaton. Rhodes
is bleeding now, Austin goes to work on Rhodes. Anderson lands cheap shots from
the apron, Rhodes is being decimated now by The Dangerous Alliance in their corner.
Anderson stomps all over the head of Rhodes, Rhodes is dragged to the ring-post
and Eaton hammers away at Rhodes.
Clothesline from Eaton for two,
arm-bar from Eaton. Austin and Anderson continue to punish Rhodes, Anderson is
raking the eyes. Rhodes blocks the left and lands a Bionic Elbow, drop toehold
from Anderson to stop the tag. Eaton comes in with a beautiful single arm DDT
with a hammerlock for good measure, Rhodes catches Austin with an O’Connor roll
but Austin is too fresh. In comes Anderson who slaps on the arm-bar, Rhodes
fights back and Anderson smashes heads with Eaton. In comes Austin, Stun-Gun!
Rhodes tags in Windham though, right hands all around, hip-tosses all around.
Back body-drop on Austin, right hand to a diving Anderson. Windham wants the
Superplex, Anderson comes off the top rope and Ole Anderson catches Arn
Anderson in the act. Team Windham get the win!
Good tag team wrestling here, finish
is a little lacklustre. Thought they would have done more here with Nikita Koloff
considering how they are building up Nikita since his return, Rhodes does a
great job in this one selling his ass off for The Dangerous Alliance, a simple
performance from Eaton and Anderson but effective as always, I would like to
see more involving the tag team titles but as long as these continue to wage
war, I am a happy man for sure. However, this seemed like just a setup for
Austin vs Windham for the TV title.
Winners: Team
Windham over The Dangerous Alliance via DQ!
(WCW World Tag
Team Championship Match) The Steiner Brothers © vs The Miracle Violence
Connection
At the previous Clash, Williams and
Gordy defeated The Steiners with a chop-block, can the challengers capture the
championships? Gordy and Scott to start, we kick things off like the Clash
match with both men showing their amateur wrestling skills, Scott takes down
Gordy and looks for a full-nelson, after all the wrestling, we have the two
brawling with Scott winning that war. In comes Williams who wrestles with Scott
also, they continue to wrestle around before Williams lands an elbow to the
head of Scott. Scott avoids a corner attack and has a sunset flip for two, side
headlock takedown from Scott. Scott brings Williams to the corner and we have
Rick Steiner in, Williams talks strategy with Gordy.
They grapple but Williams blocks the
hip-toss, both men go to the corner. They continue to grapple before Rick
suplexes Williams with a belly to belly, Williams has to recover on the floor.
Williams re-enters the ring and lands a scoop slam and two chop-blocks,
Williams wants more but Rick answers with a Steinerline. Two for Rick, Williams
brings Rick to his corner. In comes Gordy who lands a kick to the face before missing
a corner splash. Belly to back suplex from Gordy for two, Rick is smashed
around by Williams before a sunset flip with an assist from Scott for two.
Gordy comes in though and slaps on the single leg Boston crab, Gordy works the
leg with a spinning toe hold. Rick kicks off Gordy with a boot to the face,
belly to belly suplex on Gordy.
Tag to Scott, Scott kicks at Gordy.
Exploder suplex for one, Scott ties up Gordy. Williams is in now and both men
trade being sent into the buckle. More suplex counters, Williams jumps Scott
who was lured to the corner by Gordy. Reverse chin-lock from Williams, tag to
Gordy. Scott dodges the clothesline and lands a flying crossbody for two, Gordy
rakes the eyes. Williams comes in and chops Scott, massive kick to the knee and
we have a bit of continuity from the last match on the Clash.
Gordy stretches the knee, Gordy lands
a clothesline and tags in Williams. Williams stomps the knee, Williams
continues to stretch the ankle. Scott is double-teamed behind the referee’s
back, Rick saves Scott from being pinned. Gordy lands a snap suplex for two,
Gordy wrenches the leg once more. Williams is in, Scott fights back but gets
caught in a Boston crab. Gordy comes in and works the leg with a single leg
Boston crab, Williams comes in with the crab. Eventually, in comes Rick as
Scott makes the tag. Powerslam on Williams for two, Middle Rope Diving Bulldog
from Rick. Gordy stops the diving attack from Scott, Scott is on the floor.
Williams clotheslines Rick and it looks like it is double team time. Elevated
middle rope powerslam from Gordy, Williams covers for a close two.

this, Gordy is looking for a big move. Massive dropkick from Gordy for two, tag
to Williams. Double shoulder block on Rick for two, Williams back-breakers Rick

the announcer screams there is one minute left. In comes Scott, back body-drops
for both Gordy and Williams. Scoop slams, clotheslines all around. Tiger Driver
from Scott, Frankensteiner but we are out of time.
Oh boy WCW why would you do that to
me? I would not mind as much if it had opened the PPV but this was your main
event? This match copies the formula of their previous Clash match but this is
a lot less interesting, the heat segment on Scott is brutal, they just keep
locking in single leg Boston crabs time after time after time, I was waiting
for the time limit draw as the match continued, really disappointing considering
the level of talent in that ring, not sure why they thought a draw would be the
best way to end the PPV.
Time Limit Draw!
That was WCW’s Beach Blast 1992, a
good PPV from WCW. Does it reach the heights of Superbrawl II? No I don’t think
so but still a very good effort from WCW. Flamingo vs Pillman is a great way to
establish Flamingo as a serious competitor in the division and Pillman delivers
99% of the time inside of that ring, the wrestling is good between the two and
Pillman makes Flamingo look like the man, we have a new champion at the head of
the division and I am curious to see how we continue the booking of the division.
Taylor bs Simmons is solid, Taylor is a veteran and makes Simmons look good, we
need that now in WCW because they have big plans for Simmons that were made
clear when they were willing to have Simmons challenge Luger for the
championship at Halloween Havoc so as long as Simmons is in there with people
who can get him over the right way, things are good for WCW and Simmons.
Bagwell vs Valentine was much better than I thought, I am still curious to see
what value Valentine can bring to the company but they put him over so they
must have some ideas for him.
Cactus Jack vs Sting is a good match,
a big moment for Jack who gets to work with the world champion and they make
this match feel very different with the hardcore brawling compared to the rest
of the card and the scuffles in the crowd. The finish was anti-climatic
considering how it came about but Cactus showed he was reliable and Sting has
another solid match under his belt the second time around as champion, things
are going much better than the first reign. Steamboat vs Rude is a classic, a
fantastic iron man match with both men showcasing how good they are inside of
that ring. Search it out for sure, from Steamboat’s selling to Rude’s strategy
during the match, it is a thousand times better than the Superbrawl II match,
it is almost hard to believe it is the same two men wrestling. The six-man tag is
solid, I expected more considering who was involved and how much I have fallen
for all their work against one another but this was more disappointing as the
DQ finish does nothing for me. And one way to definitely setup for disaster is have
a DQ finish followed by a time-limit draw, I am not sure what WCW was thinking
putting these two on last but it hurt the show in my eyes and this time around,
the main event did not have the buzz that the Clash match had which is a shame.
Overall, this is a good WCW PPV, 1992 might be my favourite year to review as
so many good things are going on in the company, the problem is the booking and
how light the talent is outside of that main event scene. Thanks for reading
and remember: there’s always another night!
