WCW Worldwide - Saturday, 02/26/00

By The Cubs Fan

• Scott Hudson and Bobby Heenan hype the show.
  • It doesn't sound good.
  • Heenan: "It's like being on Rosie O'Donnell...you're hawking so many things"
  • Non-outdated reference from the Brain! Good for him.

• Luger's breaking arms and cashing checks.
  • Something like that.
  • We get a special Luger video package.
  • You know, La Parka should clock him for stealing the chair gimmick.
  • Clips from matches versus (and random violence towards) Buff, Knobbs, Jimmy Hart and Hogan.
    • Hart: "You'll never sell as much merchandize as Hogan has in your lifetime."
    • Tony: "I don't think anyone has."
    • I'm not so sure of that...
  • Back in the studio, they talk about Liz.
    • Heenan mentions Savage..
    • That's about one more time then anyone else...

• DDP Book ad

• ManCow TV ad, which causes me to ask:
  • What's the point of hyping that someone's getting nude on a TV show, if we all know you're going to blur it out?
  • I don't get it.

• Time for a feature on...THE WALL.
  • I like the idea of focusing on a midcarder to get them over.
  • But not THIS midcarder.
  • "Speaking of hardcore, how about the Wall...and Bam Bam Bigelow?"
  • When you think Hardcore, think the Wall, I guess.
  • This is all an excuse just to play their match from Monday (2/14) Nitro over again.
    • You know this is an important match, 'cause they talk about JJ/Sid during it.
    • And seeing as the Wall jobbed here, why show it all?
    • Logic and WCW didn't exchange Valentines, I think.
    • Ahh, the fact that he chokeslammed Bam Bam gives it all a point.
  • The announcers try to make the post-match chokeslam a big thing.

• You'd think they'd change these Randy Savage Slim Jim ads, too.

• The announcers hype various WCW crossover products.
  • Hudson: "There can't be too many best selling authors that have their own action figure...but DDP is one."
  • Of many.
  • After some more Positively Page hype, we segue when into Ready to Rumble hype.
  • And get a long trailer.
    • This movie has a chance to be a "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure"
    • Or really bad.
    • Or maybe both, depending on your opinion.
  • Hudson talks about the trailer being shown before Scream 3.
  • Heenan thinks it's going be a cult favorite.

• 3 Count (Shannon Moore and Shane Helms w/Evan) vs Jamie Howard and Yun Yang
  • Tony and Tenay are the announcers.
  • I like how it always takes a moment for 3 Count to realize that their music stopped playing.
  • Moore and Helms with a double whip, but the Power Plant team dropkicks them both out.
  • Shannon comes back in, and eats Northern Lights Suplex from Howard. 2 count.
  • Jamie with a whip, flying fistdrop, another 2 count.
  • Tag to Yang, snap mare takedown by Howard, Yung with a seated dropkick to the head, Jamie with a legdrop, Yung with a 2 count.
    • That was some great teamwork for people who don't team much (ever?)
  • Yung with a snap suplex, hold for a swinging neckbreaker, 2 count.
  • Tag to Jamie, who puts on arm bar, whip, Shannon reverses, Shane with a knee from the apron and Shannon hits a sleeper neckbreaker.
  • Tag, Shane with a vertical suplex, followed by a gutwrench suplex.
  • Shane with lightning quick legdrop and a side backbreaker.
  • Tag to Shannon, powerslam, and assisted running senton for a 2 count.
  • Jamie with a inside cradle, ref takes a while to count, and it's a 2 count.
    • I'm thinking they were supposed to do a '2 count, reverse the cradle, 2 count' spot, but someone forgot.
  • Shannon with a legrdop, slam, dancing legdrop, 2 count.
  • Shannon with an arm bar, tag to Shane, who comes off the top with a sunset flip. 2 count.
  • Shane with a clothesline, tag, slam, double springboard moonsault by Shannon
  • Jamie fights back with a punches, whip, reveres, Howard with a reverse neckbreaker.
  • Hot tag to Yung, who cleans house on the singers
  • All four in, 10 punch a long., but Evan with the distraction, allowing 3 Count to hit a top rope 'rana/frogsplash combo for the pin.
  • Your Winner: 3 Count
  • Quick action, good match.

• Little Jeanie vs Rhonda Singh (w/Mr. Ed)
  • Who had Rhonda's music before?
  • It sounds familiar.
  • Rhonda beats Jeanie early, corner whip, splash.
  • Rhonda with a legdrop, then picking her back up, whip, and letting her run into her...
  • Aww, no offense to Jeanie, who seems like a decent worker, but I'm not going to even bother.
  • The person in the ring and the person behind the mic just make me not care.
  • Your Winner: Rhonda Singh by Sunset Flip sitdown reversal.
  • Wonder if/how they're going get the actual WCW Women's title back...

• You know, whenever you see that "It's almost here...the most anticipated event of the year"...
  • I hope you're thinking the same thing I am:
  • "Yea, Wrestlemania IS just around the corner."
  • They seem to want to sell some other PPV here, though.

• The Demon vs "Top TV Title Contender" Fidel Sierra
  • If you saw WCWSN, you know what I'm talking about.
  • Tony wants to see the Demon breath fire.
  • Demon controls, Fidel reverses a whip with a punch.
  • Sierra with a whip, reversed, Demon with a backdrop.
  • Demon crawls over for no reason.
  • Demon with punches, cross whip, weak follow clothesline.
  • Demon with a snap suplex, slow up, Fidel fires back with punches.
  • Fidel with chops in the corner
  • Demon pushes Fidel in the corner, chops, snapmare, legdrop.
  • Cross whip, reverse by Fidel, Demon moves out of the way, and hits his Cobra Clutch slam.
  • Your Winner: Demon
  • Apparently, they're calling it the Love Gun.
  • That was awful quick.
  • I'm good with that.

• Heenan and Hudson hype Uncensored.
  • Heenan: "[Uncensored] is always bizarre."
  • Yep.
