5.0 out of 5 stars Unforgettable, August 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wcw: Legends Reunion - Slamboree 93 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I remember when this event was held. There was a whole weekend surrounding it, with some of the legends rekindling old fueds. There were great legend matches on this tape, as well as great WCW action from a great period. Unless you're only a fan of the new soap opera wrestling, I highly recommend you buying this tape.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay Event With Two Classic Matches, November 21, 2008

This review is from: Wcw: Legends Reunion - Slamboree 93 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This review is really of the actual PPV, which I still have in its original form on VHS. I don't know what the Turner Home Entertainment version has on it. This event was original dedicated to the legends of pro wrestling and had many future stars on here. This is what I remember from memory:

2 Cold Scorpio & Marcus Bagwell Vs. "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton & Chris Benoit - This was 1993 and while Bobby Eaton was nearing the end of his career, the other three in this match were at or not too far from the beginning of theirs. We pretty much know what happened to all of them (particularly Benoit) so no need to rehash.

To the match itself, it was a good opener with rivals Scorpio and Benoit starting it off. Nasty ending when 2 Cold attempted a twisting summersault into a legdrop on Benoit but landed a**-first on Benoit's face! Ouch! Talk about a botched spot!? Anyway, it ended after that part.

Dick Murdoch, Don Muraco & "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka Vs. Jim Brunzell, Wahoo McDaniel and Blackjack Mulligan - This six man was the first of three matches with legends of the game! Two of which (McDaniel and Murdoch) are no longer with us at the time I write this. Not a good six man but considering their ages at this point, I am amazed they could do what they did do! Ends in a double DQ when it got all out of control!

"Thunderbolt" Patterson & Brad Armstrong Vs. Baron Von Rashke & Ivan Koloff - Probably the best of the legends matches as Patterson was comical in some of his moves! Brad, by the way, was a fill in for his father "Bullet" Bob Armstrong who couldn't make it due to an injury. Ends when Patterson got in his pattened double chop to the throat of Rashke for the pin.

Nick Bockwinkle Vs. Dory Funk, Jr. - In sort of an AWA Vs. NWA match, Bockwinkle took on the more saner of the Funk Brothers with respective cornermen. Verne Gange for Bockwinkle and the late Gene Kinski for Funk. The match, for the most part, was clean and was mostly wrestling. Ended in a draw.

Sting Vs. The Prisoner (Nailz for WWE fans) - Not a good match at all. Pretty much a throw away. By the way, Sting won.

"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff & "Ravishing" Rick Rude Vs. Dustin Rhodes & Kensuki Sasaki - Pretty good tag team encounter. A bit sloppy at times but it especially picked up when Rhodes and the late Rick Rude got it on! Ends when Rude gets in his pattened "Rude Awakening" neckbreaker on Sasaki for the pin.

The Hollywood Blondes ("Stunning" Steve Austin & the late Brian Pillman) Vs. Ricky Steamboat & "Shane Douglas" (cage match for the WCW/NWA World Tag Team Titles) - I put Shane in quotation marks because it wasn't actually Douglas in that match. It was actually Tom Zenk (I think) playing Douglas due to the fact that Shane was fired prior to this bout. I do know it wasn't Douglas in the match though he is credited for it.

Anyway, it was still a good match which was more of a display for Austin and Pillman. At that time, I really didn't appreciate the Blondes but now I agree that they definitely didn't get the shot they deserved and WCW was dumb to split them up! One high spot was Steamboat using his famous flying body press on both Austin and Pillman at the same time and nearly pinning them both! Ends when Austin used his Stun Gun to drop Zenk into both the top rope and I believe part of the cage! Great match.

Barry Windham Vs. Arn Anderson (NWA World Title Match) - A classic NWA style match with both men taking punishment from the other. Windham, by the way, bleeds like a pig in this one! Ends when Windham clobbers Anderson with his NWA title belt while the ref is down, winning this battle of former Horsemen.

Vader Vs. "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith (WCW World Title Match) - Was a pretty good bout but the best parts of this match is within the first 10 minutes. Impressive shows of strength by Davey Boy Smith in this one as he used his vertical suplex and even lifted Vader in the "electric chair"! Remember, Vader (at this time) was 450lbs. so this wasn't no easy feat by any means!

It ends when Vader, after nearly being pinned by Davey but saved by Harley Race, hits The Bulldog with a chair causing a DQ.

Overall, not a bad card but it wasn't a classic. Best bouts were the cage match along with Anderson Vs. Windham. Not a must buy but not a bad buy either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome! Lots of cool old-school, and young stars of today!, October 23, 1999

This review is from: Wcw: Legends Reunion - Slamboree 93 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape was one of the first WCW PPV's I had ever watched. Sting's match is really cool. A sweet NWA Title match between Barry Whindam and Arn Anderson. Blood Galore. A cage match between Steve Austin/Pillman vs Douglas/Steamboat!!! Some of the Legends matches are slow, except for Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka!!! The main event is a good brawl beteen Vader and British Bulldog! Also in action, Buff, The Patriot, Chris Benoit, and many more!
