Next week's show is here: http://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/wcw-power-hour-1191991-review.html
Tim Horner vs Rip Rogers
Rip attacks during Tim's entrance |
"Any man who wears pig tails and pink is weird in my book." - JR "Maybe you should rewrite your book." - Paul E. "Well, it wasn't a best seller." - JR |
LOL at the kid filming rip's butt |
The pin |
"Yes!" - Tim Horner |
Tim Horner pinned Rip Rogers to get the win. This was a very good Tim Horner match. He was quick and really gave it his all for a C-show opening match. Really good stuff here and the more I see of Rip the more underappreciated he seems. Rating:**3/4
"Last Saturday an unusual man made his debut. He calls himself Minotaur." - JR "Everybody knows that in Greek mythology a minotaur is a half-man, half-bull. |
"I'd love to know more about that strange apparatus on his arm." - JR |
Beautiful Bobby Eaton vs Tommy Angel
"Right now, what you are watching is the best wrestler on television a few weeks before he beats the Z-Man for the TV title." - Paul E. |
"Ah that's uncalled for. We don't need to show that." - JR |
Air Jordan watch out. Air Eaton is where it's at. |
Norman the Lunatic and The Juicer(Art Barr) vs The Fabulous Freebirds
The Juicer gimmick is based off of Beetlejuice which was still pretty hot at this time. The Juicer is Art Barr of lucha libre and Los Gringos Locos fame. He had a very famous team with Eddie Guerrero in Mexico known as Los Gringos Locos and was maybe the hottest star in Mexico before he died a sudden death.
Norman the Lunatic is Mike Shaw aka Bastion Booger of WWF fame and Makhan Singh of Stampede and GWF fame.
There was no finish here nor any explanation of it. They showed Michael Hayes DDT'ing Norman and cut it from there.
Wrestling News Network with Gordon Solie
They talked about the Missy Hyatt vs Paul E. Dangerously feud and showed some clips of them arguing with each other:
"Terry Taylor was recently ranked 8th in the world and he wants title matches." - Gordon Solie |
"I'm really surprised at Terry Taylor's new attitude. He even told Jim Ross to shut up recently." - Paul E. |
The finish |
Mike Thor vs Terry Taylor
The five-arm |
"I wasn't ready for this match to end. I still had other things to say. I need more time to talk. This isn't fair." - Paul E. |
They did an ad for Wrestlewar 1991 which I reviewed in full here:
Part 1 - http://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/wcw-wrestlewar-1991-review-part-1.html
Part 2 - http://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/wcw-wrestlewar-1991-review-part-2.html
This is one of my better reviews and this is one of my top 10 favorite PPV's of all time. Tons of cool gifs and pics there!
They showed some highlights from Starrcade 1990 with The Steiners vs The Great Muta and Mr. Saito for the Pat O'Connor Cup. I am going to skip that part as it was only highlights and I do want to review the full show on here sometime.
Dutch Mantell was the man in Memphis, so even though he was a jobber in WCW, don't write him out. I did a bunch of reviews of Dutch in Memphis if you want to see him at his best.
"Come on, man. Right here." - Dutch Mantell |
"Taped right hand of Mantell raking at the face of Flyin' Brian." - Jim Ross "Well, Mantell obviously learned from Beautiful Bobby that these are successful tactics." - Paul E. |
The finish |
"Did you become the host of World Championship Wrestling by knocking Gordon Solie's teeth down his throat?" - Paul E. |
