5.0 out of 5 stars A Collector's Item, September 7, 2001

By 

Andrew Lauffer (Chicago, Il) - See all my reviews

This review is from: WCW Slamboree 1994: A Legends Reunion [VHS] (VHS Tape)

More than anything alse, this tape is a must own for historical reasons. Throughout the event, old-school wrestling matches such as Austin/Badd, Zcybyzco/Regal, Flair/Windham, and Vader/Sting, effectively contrasted the newer, more hardcore style that is found today. Also, the Hall of Fame induction ceremony is one for any wrestling history buff's video library. However, the primary reason to own this tape is for the superlative Street Fight. Historically speaking, it set the tone for many hardcore tag matches to come and as noted by critic Scott Keith, for all of the Public Enemy's tag matches in WCW. Here is a rundown of the matches:
Steve Austin vs. Johnny B. Badd: Very solid technical match, which remained interesting in part because of the hot crowd. Badd was just coming into his own here and it showed. Great opener. ***1/2
Terry Funk vs. Tully Blanchard: I abolutely love Terry Funk, so no matter how old both guys seemed, I was determined to like it. Match degenerates into a hardcore battle, which is eventually thrown out entirely by the ref. Fun match and both guys held up very well. **3/4
Larry Zcybyzco vs. Lord Steven Regal: Well, Regal is in that stage of his career where he liked to stall a lot in order to p#$$ off the crowd. If you stick with this one, it does pick up eventually. **1/2
Bunkhouse Buck vs. Dustin Rhodes: This is the one match on this tape that was bad. Both guys absolutely stink. Sorry, I can't think of any other way to put it. They slowly fight with the cowbell in a very weak brawl. However, Terry Funk (yay!) comes down to put the boots to Dustin and uses the branding iron is nefarious ways. Aside from the ending, the match was frankly, hard to sit through. *1/2
Ric Flair vs. Barry Windham: Although Windham looks a bit out of shape, Flair is still able to carry him to a pretty good match. After all, this is FLAIR were talking about here. Not the best "Nature Boy" match I've seen, but I have no complaints. ***1/4
Street Fight: Cactus Jack/Kevin Sullivan vs. The Nasty Boys: There is really too much action here to call as the teams use tables, chairs, cameras and anything else they can get their hands on against each other. The crowd is literally in a frenzy the entire match. Just a wild brawl with a great ending. ****3/4

Vader vs. Sting: Vader is absolutely massive and is probably one of the most imposing wrestlers I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Vader wears Sting down with rights and left and absolutely destroys him with a wicked chokeslam. I mean he just caught him, raised him up and threw him down, with absolutely no support from the free hand. Now THAT'S strength. Anyway, that Hall-of-Fame idiot Harley Race costs Vader the match, by not only accidentally hitting him with the chair, but also nailing him with a flying headbutt. Excellent match, but the Street Fight was probably a better choice to end it as the crowd seemed exhausted. ****
Excellent show that is well worth 10$ or 20$, for that matter. Admittedly, a few of the matches were a bit too slow, but there was plenty here to save them.

If you are a fan of the older style of wrestling, this is a must own! Features a legends match with Terry Funk vs. Tully Blanchard, with commentary for this match from the greatest - Gordon Solie. Also Flair vs. Windham, Cactus Jack/Kevin Sullivan vs. The Nasty Boys, and Sting vs. Vader for the Heavyweight strap. If you missed it on PPV, you must buy this!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Great, Just Good!, June 18, 2008

By 

Ervin Griffin (Bluefield, WV) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: WCW Slamboree 1994: A Legends Reunion [VHS] (VHS Tape)

WCW Slamboree began in 1993 and it was actually a decent event at times. This one was one of the better editions. Let's get to it:

"Stunning" (Stone Cold) Steve Austin w/Col. Parker Vs. Johnny B. Badd (Marc Mero)(WCW U.S. Title Match) - This was a good opener. If all you know of Austin is the "Stone Cold" era, then you need to see this. He was a good technical wrestler in those days, on the same level with Bret Hart arguably! Austin manages to win this one due to some dirty tricks from himself and Parker to retain the title against Badd

Terry Funk Vs. Tully Blanchard (Legends Match) - The former Horsemen Vs. one of the craziest men in wrestling ever! Funk, surprisingly, dominated most of this match and even tried to piledrive Tully from the top rope! Ends in a double DQ with Funk practically caning Blanchard with his branding iron!

Larry Zbysko Vs. Lord Steven Regal (William Regal) - This was a grudge match. Although Regal's WCW TV Title wasn't on the line, personal pride was. I was never a Larry fan but I got to give him credit, he wrestled a very good match and actually matched the usually superior Regal in technical wrestling! Ends when Larry reversed a butterfly suplex on Regal for the win.

Dustin Rhodes (Goldust) Vs. Bunkhouse Buck (Jimmy Golden) - This was a bullrope match and was probably the dullest on the card. The only good part is when Terry Funk came out and attacked Dustin Rhodes at the end. If you want to see a good Dustin/Buck match, find WCW Spring Stampede 1994 for their Bunkhouse matchup! Its much better!

"Nature Boy" Ric Flair Vs. Barry Windham (WCW World Title Match) - This wasn't their greatest match but I can't recall a stinker between these two. Windham, admittedly, didn't come in the best of shape BUT he still put on a pretty good match with Flair. Ends with Flair using a rare flying bodypress on Windham for the pin.

Cactus Jack/Kevin Sullivan Vs. The Nasty Boys (WCW World Tag Team Title Match) - This was a Broadstreet Bully Match, another way of saying anything goes! This is easily the best match on the card and the main reason to get this tape! Ends when Cactus hits one of the Nasties with a hockey stick! Also, there is action even after the match! This was ECW before ECW!

Sting Vs. Vader (WCW International Title) - Like Flair Vs. Windham, these two have had better matches BUT this didn't stink by any means. Ends when Sting hits a top rope splash after Harley Race (who was Vader's manager) missed a diving headbutt and hit Vader! Sting takes the International belt.

Overall, this wasn't WCW's best but they've had far worse. Still, it does show that while they sucked at marketing, the action (when they wanted to) could be first-rate! A good piece of wrestling history to get.
