KB’s Review: Survival Of The Laziest

I’ve been watching wrestling for a very long time and one of my favorite VHS (look it up) tapes was Survivor Series 1987. The late 80s WWF is my favorite era of wrestling ever and this show (plus the next few years) had almost everyone you could want to see on a WWF show from this time. You had a midcard match with ten wrestlers, a women’s match with ten wrestlers, a tag match with twenty (!) wrestlers and a main event match with ten more, including Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant for the first time since the most famous match in history. That’s the kind of thing that made me always want to see the Survivor Series. Where else were you going to see Rick Rude vs. Hulk Hogan or Strike Force vs. Demolition or Randy Savage vs. Hercules (outside of house shows)? It was the kind of card that gave you such a buffet of options and it was awesome to see every single year….at least up until you reach a certain point. After 1990, it was time to quote Owen Hart and realize that enough is enough an..

REVIEW: Clash Of The Champion #22: Clash Gets All Thundercagey

Clash of the Champions XXII Date: January 13, 1993 Location: The Mecca, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Attendance: 4,000 Commentators: Jim Ross, Jesse Ventura The main event tonight sees Sting/Ron Simmons/Dustin Rhodes/Van Hammer vs. Vader/Barbarian/Barry Windham/Paul Orndorff (substitute for an injured Rick Rude) inside the Thunder Cage. We’re nearing the end of an era here in WCW as Bill Watts’ job is already on the brink and would be ended soon thereafter. In other words, most of the matches tonight don’t mean much, especially with a few changes coming soon. Let’s get to it. Bill Watts welcomes us to the show and talks about his history wrestling in Milwaukee. Also Van Hammer is injured and out of the main event tonight. There will be a replacement in his arm wrestling match later. No mention of the main event. Also, Erik Watts has been arrested (kayfabe) and is out of his match tonight. It’s another new set with the entrance being under a metal frame like last time, but no long curtain be..

Watch: Sting’s WCW World Championship Victories

The Icon has that name for a reason. WWE has posted a new video to their YouTube channel in which they show all of the televised WCW World Heavyweight Championship victories by Hall of Famer, Sting. You can see the video in its entirety below: [This post contains video, click to play] The world title victories are as follows: Ric Flair, Great American Bash, 1990 Lex Luger, Superbrawl II, 1992 Ravishing Rick Rude, Spring Stampede, 1994 Vader, Slamboree, 1994 Hollywood Hogan, Starrcade 1997 Hollywood Hogan, Superbrawl VIII, 1998 Diamond Dallas Page, Monday Nitro, 1999 Hulk Hogan, Fall Brawl, 1999 Editor’s Opinion: Watching this video brought back a lot of memories. I remember hearing Jim Ross call matches for WCW back when I was growing up, and understanding what I do now about professional wrestling, it still brings back a great deal of nostalgia. Sting was always one of my favorite WCW superstars, and it’s cool to see WWE acknowledging his accomplishments and I hope that they do ..

Bischoff on Wrestling Recap – Rey Mysterio’s Future, Taking Controversy Too Far in Wrestling, Relationship with Rick Rude, More!

<p>Bischoff is joined on today’s show by his co-host Nick Hausman.</p><p>A listener calls into the show and asks Bischoff where the line is in <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/terms/" title="terms">terms</a></strong> of what is too controversial for the wrestling business. Bischoff says that he always drew the line at anything involving race or religion.

He says that he doesn’t watch GFW, so he doesn’t have an opinion on the current product. In terms of if they can turn the corner, Bischoff says it’s hard to know unless you’re involved in the company and you understand what their goals are moving forward.</p><p>He points out that GFW are in a tough spot right now because their only revenue source is through their international television licensing. Bischoff says if they lose their deal with <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/poptv/" title="PopTV">PopTV</a></strong> and therefore their presence on U.S. television, their demand overseas drops dramatically and that could become very problematic.</p>
