4.0 out of 5 stars
Strong WCW PPV,
By KlownArt (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WCW World War 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 50 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this VHS you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful. (Note-Each VHS I review has a "Match of the VHS" award somewhere in it.)
WCW World War 3 1997 WCW's take on the Royal Rumble match, World War 3, will make its third appearance since its creation. WCW rarely put on a solid top to bottom PPV, but this is one of them. Not all the matches are 5 star classics, but most are fairly good. The World War 3 match headlines this card, and it rightfully deserves to. This event is over ten years old but is still a fantastic event. World War 3 is a 3-ring event. Throughout the night you see wrestlers take advantage of all three rings. Glacier & Ernest Miller VS Meng & The Barbarian This was a decent way to start off the evening. Meng and Barbarian control most of the match with their high impact power moves. Miller and Glacier get short lived, martial arts attacks. Meng and Barbarian pull out a sick Back Drop into a Powerbomb. RATING- 7/10 WCW Television Title Perry Saturn(c) VS Disco Inferno Ever since Disco lost his Television Title he has been on a mission to get it back. Perry Saturn plays his "slightly out there" persona very well. Disco shows some good fluid wrestling skills. Saturn pulls off some nice highflying moves and some good counters. This match features a fantastic ending that came from nowhere. RATING- 8/10 Yuji Nagata VS Ultimo Dragon Nagata takes early control of Ultimo Dragon, focusing mostly on Ultimo's injured arm. The match is pretty basic until Ultimo gains control and kicks the mess out of Nagata. Nagata takes a Dragon Sleeper and gives up, but his manager is distracting the referee. Ultimo pulls off a very well done frakensteiner near the end of the match. In the end, Nagata gets a cheap win over Dragon. RATING- 7.5/10 WCW World Tag Team Championships Steiner Brothers(c) VS Steven Regal & Dave Taylor After the horrible yearlong reign of the Outsiders, The Steiner Brothers have captured the WCW Tag Team Titles. Both teams get equal offence in the match. The Steiners bring the power offence, while Regal and Taylor use their European uppercuts and underhanded tactics. Chaos erupts near the end and you see some great double team moves by the Steiners. RATING- 8/10 Between these two matches, Gene Okerland and J.J. Dillon discuss Raven not signing a contract yet. Dillon says that Raven has 24 hours to sign one or Raven is gone. No Disqualification Raven VS Scotty Riggs Raven has been trying to get Riggs to join his group, but Riggs just won't join. Raven uses a chair to get an advantage on Riggs. The match turns in favor of Riggs after he uses the chair for his own use. Riggs hits Raven with a Bulldog right on the edge of the steel chair. The end of the match sees Raven hitting the Even-Flow DDT on Riggs 3 times, then sitting and watching as Riggs gets counted out. Steve McMichael VS Alex Wright This was originally supposed to be McMichael VS Goldberg, but Wright attacked Goldberg before the match started. Queen Debra had to get someone on the spot to take Goldberg's place and she picked Alex Wright. Wright gets squashed and gets literally no offence in the match. RATING- 3/10 WCW World Cruiserweight Championship Rey Mysterio VS Eddie Guerrero(c) This match wasn't as good as their Halloween Havoc 97 bout, but it was still a very well done contest. There are a couple of missed spots that pull the match down a bit. Also, the fact that there isn't a Mask Match like their previous encounter, it lacks as much emotion. Still, one of the best match of the evening and almost as good as their previous match. RATING- 9/10 No Disqualification (Match of the VHS) WCW United States Championship Ric Flair VS Curt Hennig(c) This is my personal favorite on this old tape. Curt Hennig betrayed the 4 Horsemen at Fall Brawl 1997, and Flair has been after Hennig ever since. It really feels like they hate each other in this match. They brawl in the crowd, on the floor, and in the ring. Flair hurts his leg after a dive to the outside onto Hennig. Hennig quickly takes advantage of this and works over Flair's leg. Flair turns it around though and uses a chair on Hennig's leg to weaken it for the Figure-4. You could tell what the ending was going to be though, which brings it down. RATING- 9/10 World War 3 60-Man Battle Royal 60 men start in the three rings. Once it has dwindled down to five in each ring, they will move into the middle ring and finish the match. It didn't quite work that way, but those were the rules given. To start, only 59 entered the match initially. The Giant eliminates around 5 guys within the first few seconds of the match. The nWo works as a unit and also eliminates many of the wrestlers. The Giant is on fire and eliminates everyone from his ring, including Meng with a dropkick. Near the end, no one from the nWo has been tossed out yet. They aren't entering the middle ring though. WCW decides to takes the fight to them. This is where it gets seriously intense and a lot of surprises take place. The 60th entrant arrives in the form of the WCW Champion Hulk Hogan. Many more surprises take place before the show is over, including an overly stupid ending. Rating- 9/10

Best World War 3 Ever. Out of 4 events,
By Don Comfort (Stroudsburg, Pa.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WCW World War 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The Matches were good. Like Glacier and The Cat vs. The Faces Of Fear. And the "swerve" at the end with Scott Hall winning World War 3. 5 star for sure
