WCW Worldwide - Saturday 11/02/97

• Sorry for this being later then usual..I went to the NIU vs Ohio (sorry, don't have a clue about the link) on Saturday afternoon, and was busy all Sunday, but, hey, why do you care?
• I'd like to thank everyone who visited my webpage last week (via Shameless Plug(tm)). I appreciated all of the hits; in the first week, I went over 100 hits. Thanks, and I promise no more plugs.
• Anyone who happened to listen to the RA show for Nitro last week, the Cubs Fan that was mentioned was yours truly. Nice for Madden to tell us that Public Enemy would be facing Disco's parents later that night. He's a BIG help.
• Just surfing before I wrote this up and found some intersting things. On the WCW page, Mark Madden talks about the tag team situation in WCW. He says some interesting things, but what he doesn't say I find more interesting. The words "Nasty Boys" were missing from the whole article. Draw your own conclusions.
• And on the nWo site (updated finnally!), they have a new bio section, currently with only Hall, Nash, Syxx, Hogan, Savage, and Eric. More are supposed to be up later, but me being curious, started typing for others. Here's my results.
  • Bagwell, Norton: Page and Pictures up, but no description yet
  • Vincent: Page up, but no picture or description
  • Muta, Chono, Konnan (also Konan, K-Dog and K-Dawg) and Hennig (also Henning and Perfect :) were not up at all. Again, draw your own conclusions.
• Syxx over Bobby Starr by Buzzkiller
  • Tony causes the return of the over exageration of the week by uttering this line, "We are well in the month of November". 1 day into the month is well into it?
  • Later on in the show, DDP beats up someone, and the Good Guerreros vs High Voltage
    • This is so scary, I actually want to see a match on Worldwide...The tag match is very even
  • It was almost like Syxx was like a face for parts of the match, strange.
  • Um, maybe the rumors are true about Eric wanting Syxx to tone down his act. The camera abruptly cut to the crowd during the Bronco Buster!
• Arn Anderson with Lee Marshall
  • I'm ticked at myself at flipping through and missing the begining of this segment.
  • AA "Flair's got to go his own way"
  • He talks about the Horseman being idiots in the past - attacking Dusty Rhodes in his driveway, Sam Houston in the parking lot, and the attack on Mangum TA in the Onmi.
  • AA "Flair's the biggest idiot I know, and you got to be an idiot to take on the nWo"
  • Just so I can say it three times in one week, make your own conclusions on him being on TV.
• Dean Malenko over Chad Fortune by the Texas Cloverleaf
  • I began to wonder, why Texas? Why not Flordia?
  • Malenko has just passed Ric Flair in succesful top rope manuevers this year, with a flying cross body block.
  • Back and forth, good match.
  • Missed drop kick led to the end.
• High Voltage over The Good Guerreros (Hector and Chavo Jr.) (see below for ending)
  • This was a fun back and forth match up. WCW, please give me more of these
  • Took them 5 seconds to start talking about Eddie, but then stopped talking about him the whole rest of the match
  • Guerreros, the less experienced tag team, were rolling early on.
  • Hector on fire segment, chaos (not Kaos :) near the end.
  • The match had an intersting ending. Rage tries to lift Junior up for a powerbomb twice, but Chavo blocks both times. Hector climbs the turnbuckle (Kaos and him had been battling on the outside) and hits Rage with a cross body block and covers. Nick Patrick makes Chavo get out of the ring before he'll count, Kaos headbutts Hector and puts Rage on top behind Patrick's back and High Voltage gets the pin.
• Lee Marshall with Bobby Hennan
  • Lee talks about how syndication is taped in Orlando
  • Bobby talks about misdirecting tourists
  • Why couldn't I miss this start of this one and not the last one?
• Steve Regal over Yuji Nagata w/o Sonny Onoo by Regal Stretch
  • Brain says Sonny's in the audince, watching the match
  • Seeing as between the July tapings and the recent ones, WCW has a lot of matches to work with, why are the showing one that has one of their unpushed wrestlers beating a pushed one?
  • My guess, between Regal's weight and the outcome is that this is one of the July matches
  • Slow match...
  • They were pushing Nagata's kicks...who else around here is known for their stiff kicks? Ultimo Dragon. Ironic? (I'll save you from repeating the phrase for the fourth time)
• DDP over Johnny Swinger by Diamond Cutter (method #1)
  • Ok, the dumb act of the week, the Brain asking "Are we going to see the Diamond Cutter?"
  • That was almost beat by Tony's observant remark, "Boy, he has some fans out there, doesn't he"
  • Slow start, but picked up at the end
  • Late in the match, I thought I was watching the new Marc Mero, because DDP was punching the heck out of Swinger. In a related note, WCW's retaliation for Mero using a version of the Diamond Cutter appears to be having Disco Inferno use a version of the Stone Cold Stunner as his new finisher, the Chartbuster.
  • Tony comes close to beating himself, by pulling this one out: "World War 3 has virtually ever star in our sport". Yea, you know every star except for the ones in the WWF and ECW, and, oh yea, the ones in Japan and Mexico. Does that seem like virtually everyone to you?
