-------------

WCW Uncensored 1997

1) WCW United States Championship - No DQ Match
Eddie Guerrero(c) vs Dean Malenko ~ ***

2) Ultimo Dragon vs Psychosis ~ *3/4

3) Martial Arts Match
Glacier vs Mortis ~ **3/4

4) Strap Match
Buff Bagwell vs Scott Riggs ~ DUD

5) No Rules Tornado Match
Harlem Heat (Booker T & Stevie Ray) vs Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge & Rocco Rock) ~ 1/2*

6) WCW Television Championship
Prince Iaukea vs Rey Mysterio Jr ~ *3/4

7) Three Team Battle Royal
Team WCW (Lex Luger, The Giant, & Scott Steiner) vs Team nWo (Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Kevin Nash, & Scott Hall) vs Team Piper (Roddy Piper, Chris Benoit, Jeff Jarrett, & Steve McMichael) ~ DUD

~ Opener was pretty good. Could have been better with who was involved. EDDIE specifically. I liked it, nonetheless. Seen it tons of times. Always zips on by.

~ Ultimo vs Psychosis and it sucks? wtf? Chemistry wasn't really here. </3. Psychosis looked sloppy.

~ Glacier vs Mortis and it was solid? wtf? Mortis aka Kanyon was the man. Glacier....umm...had a GOAT entrance. Match actually worked. A pleasant surprise. Debut of WRATH post-match.

~ Buff vs Riggs on a PPV lol. Scotty Riggs, you suck pal.

~ Public Enemy is cool. Harlem Heat sucks b/c Stevie Ray is the drizzling shits and brought down Booker. These smack each other for about 15 minutes. Insane Dusty Rhodes commentary makes it well worth seeing. "THEY ARE MISSING A TOILET SEAT IN THIS BUILDING BECAUSE IT'S IN THE RING!"

~ Mysterio is the absolute best. Iaukea is incredibly green. Not even over. Match goes far and away too long. Started off decent with the fast paced style. Should have only been about 6 minutes and it would have worked out better. Time limit draw -> restart, Prince wins in a big upset. Nothing special. Dragged in the latter half.

~ Main event was a total mess. Standard WCW fair. Piper got eliminated by Dennis Rodman. Legit. Luger is left alone vs all of the nWo. Takes out Savage, Nash, & Hall in a minute. Spray can to the head later & Hogan wins just b/c. nWo leaves...then STING PROPELS FROM THE CEILING. STING CLEANS HOUSE. WE'RE OUT OF TIMEEEEEEEEEE, GOOD NIGHT.

I'll have to watch that opener, looks good. Other then that, DUD?

Pretty much. Worth a trip down memory lane. That's about it.

The tag match can be worth it if you only pay attention to Dusty.

When did Thunder start again? Whats some good matches from there?

**ShowStopper '97** · 01-29-2013, 11:05 PM

That Eddy/Dean match is on the Rise & Fall of WCW DVD. Love that match. Lots of fun. When I first got the DVD, I watched that match so freaking much.

1/9/98

Good matches? I'm certain sticking with the same great workers - Eddie, Jericho, Mysterio, DDP, Raven, Saturn, various other cruiserweights - and you'll find the good picks.

I'd have to go take a peek and see if there are any noteworthy Finlay or Regal matches too. Thunder is a landscape I haven't gotten to find all the gems quite yet.
