LIKE MANY OF THE WCW PAY-PER-VIEWS, THIS IS PRETTY BAD AT TIMES. BUT, I HAVE SEEN MUCH WORSE [FOR EXAMPLE, UNCENSORED '95]. HERE'S MY OPINIONS ON THESE MATCHES;

1. FOR THE WCW U.S. CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION STING VS. MENG
YOUR AVERAGE WCW MATCH. SLOW MOVING AND BORING. I'M A BIG FAN OF STING AND I THINK HE SHOULD'VE DONE A LITTLE BETTER THAN THIS. RATING; 2/5

2. FOR THE WCW TV CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION THE RENEGADE VS. PAUL ORNDORFF
HORRIBLE. THE MATCH JUST SUCKS. THE RENEGADE WAS JUST WCW'S VERSION OF THE WWE'S ULTIMATE WARRIOR. SKIP THIS. RATING; 1/5

3. KAMALA VS. HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN
AN UNWATCHABLE MATCH THAT FEATURES TWO WRESTLERS THAT'RE ALL GIMMICK AND ALMOST NO WRESTLING TALENT. RATING; 0/5

4. DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE VS. DAVE SULLIVAN
YET ANOTHER BAD MATCH. ONLY GOOD IF YOU'RE TRYING TO WATCH A MATCH FROM THE EARLIER DAYS OF DDP'S CAREER. RATING; 1/5

5. 3 WAY MATCH FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
CHAMPIONS HARLEM HEAT [BOOKER T & STEVIE RAY] VS. THE NASTY BOYS [BRIAN KNOBS & JERRY SAGS] VS. THE BLUE BLOODS [LORD STEVEN REGAL & BOBBY EATON, I THINK]
ONE OF THE BETTER MATCHES ON THIS EVENT. IT WAS OK. RATING; 3/5

6. LUMBERJACK MATCH
RANDY SAVAGE VS. RIC FLAIR
THE BEST MATCH ON THE EVENT. THIS MATCH SAVES THE EVENT FROM BEING A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. RATING; 4/5

7. STEEL CAGE MATCH FOR THE WCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION HULK HOGAN VS. VADER
PREDICTABLE AND BORING. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER LACKLUSTER WCW PPV MAIN EVENT. RATING; 2/5

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, ANOTHER FORGETTABLE WCW PAY-PER-VIEW. OH, AND A TAG TEAM MATCH BETWEEN BUNKHOUSE BUCK & DICK SLATER AND ALEX WRIGHT & MARCUS ALEXANDER BAGWELL AKA BUFF BAGWELL IS MISSING. BUT, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T LIKE THIS EVENT, I STILL CHERISH THIS TAPE, BEING THAT WCW IS OUT OF BUSINESS TODAY. ONLY WORTH GETTING IF YOU'RE COLLECTING WCW TAPES FOR VALUE.

The matches were Decent but the main event needed more Excitement.Match of the day was Savage and Flair.

If you want to see the way non-wwf wrestling was in 1995, this is the video to do so with. The card was decent and clips of WCW's various shows of the time are shown. This video is from the small period of time in which Hulk Hogan was in WCW, but before the Nitro era.

i saw this on pay-per-view back in 95 and tought it was good. The first match, sting vs. meng and was pretty god. the tag-team match between the blue bloods vs. nasty boys vs. harlem heat was good, but they should have had heat lose the tag titles. The main event cage match betwwen hogan and vader was ok but could have been better. what was the point of rodman at the ringside and the dungeon of doom coming down but not doing anythin.

Watching this tape now after everything in WCW is all said and done, it is kind of fascinating. This was the pre-Monday Nitro and pre-NWO WCW here with Hulk Hogan. It is kinda fun, but the whole event could have been so much better considering the talent involved! There are some truly lackluster matches here by todays wrestling standards! Well, this was WCW's style in 1995.

Sting has on OK match with Meng. Sting is a good wrestler, but Meng is not. This match kicked off the show and it was slow and not really any high spots. The matches that fallow are of varing quality, but most of the matches are slow-paced and not very exciting. The best matches were the two main events, I thought. Savage vs. Ric Flair was fun and even Hogan vs. Vader was ok, but not great. The fun parts are all the interviews and the clips of various happenings in WCW at the time.

If you must buy this, try to find a used copy like I did. Otherwise this is a decent time killing rental.

This match was used in a baywatch episode and that reason alone it should not be bought.
