If you're waiting to see it, skip this article.  Press Return otherwise to see
a few of the results.


Holy cow!  The Great Muta!  Who would have thunk it?  I didn't even think he 
was in the running!  

Apparently, WCW saved on some salaries by having 7 guys pull double and even
triple duty.  I can't see why they couldn't have one more tag match to fill
the battle royal field to 10 at least.  That 8 man was pretty much what I
expected except that I didn't think those guys would all be exhausted and in
thier third match of the day.

For those that want the results:

    Hammer and Spivey beat Jack and Badd-  I still don't know why this was
drawn early.

    Rhodes and Vader beat Sasaki and Barbarian- Vader hit Rhodes after the
match but didn't really do anything

   Windham and Muta beat Scorpio and Pillman-  Good flying although I would 
have gladly skipped the Windham-Pillman angle and replace Windham with Liger

   Sting and Dr Death beat Watts and Liger-  Watts was pinned!  Liger didn't 
do a thing!  Dr Death has to wrestle again! That's about it.

   NWA Title
     Chono STF'd Muta-  A lot slower than I would have hoped for but not at
all like the HHavoc debacle.

   WCW Title
     Simmons and Rude's replacement Dr Death were both counted out and Dr Death
was later DQd since he kept beating up on Simmons.  Terrible ending.  Oh yea-
Rude is out with some sort of back injury and he came out complaining that a
doctor crippled him and WCW couldn't wait to screw him since they announced thathe would
be stripped of the US title if he didn't defend against the winner of the
tourney next month.

    NWA/WCW Tag Title
       Douglas and Steamboat beat Pillman and Windham  Douglas belly to belly
on Pillman for the pin.  Good match nice and long but not too long to fill in 
the now evident time gap.

    King o Cable
       Sting supposedly powerslamed Vader off the top but it didn't really look
too good.  Not a bad powermove match if you like that.  Sting gets a trophy.

    Battlebowl
        Everyone comes right back to the ring for a nonspectacular 8 man
battle royal.  Hammer goes out first.  Spivey goes out on to the runway which
we now know means the same thing as the floor.  Vader takes out Sting and 
himself.  Rhodes beats up on Windham and Dr Death takes out a non flying Muta.
Rhodes and Death go out together leaving Muta and Windham.  Everyone cheers 
"MUTA!"  while he almost goes out a few times.  Finally he gets thrown out
and he curls back in and kicks out Windham.  Yay.


Not a horrible card.  The music was better and we finally lost that Ricky
'Dragon' music.  I think it was pretty good but not perfect and I can see
how some poeple might not like it.  The locker room scenes seemed to be
prerecorded when they drew out names.  Oh yea- and Missy Hyatt!  That chest
protector she had on might be worth the cost of the PPV if you're a guy.
Sorry for that blatently sexist remark but that's how I feel.
