WCW Worldwide - Saturday, 01/31/98
By TheCubs Fan
- I've been very (paranoid, annoyed, idiotic, your choice) this week, becasue of something that might have happened...If you remember, I said I was mad at Bob Ryder for moving the free ECW TV shows into 1wrestling.com's premium area...and the day after that, Scoops' Al Issacs complained about everyone complaining about 1wrestling's premium area...either that was ironic (don't ya think) or set off by what I said...either way, I want to express what I wanted to say in more than one sentence and not waste space here, so if you're intrested click here. And this will be the last time that's brought up...
- Back to wrestling...I'm seriously considering a drive to put Stevie Ray's picture on milk cartons...he's dissappeared off the face of the earth.
- I'd like to take a second to thank everyone who does mail me...usually, when I do, it's either because I forget or just don't know what to say and it probably makes me look like a jerk...but I really appreciate the letters. Thanks you cmazenc on hotmail for mailing me...and yeah, I was wrong about the superbowl, but hey, Green Bay lost, so I don't mind :)
- Yuji Nagata over Sumo Fuji by Nagata-lock
- Sonny Onoo wasn't at ringside..must have had to go to the 1-hour photo place
- Back and forth match...
- Kinda weird, since the voice over was taped before Souled Out, they can't hype the Sting vs Hogan match at Superbrawl, and since they knew this would be shown after Souled Out, they can't talk about that either...so they're talking about the matches...odd.
- Fit Finley over Buddy Lee Parker by Tombstone
- If what I've heard is true and Finley is gone from WCW, I bet they're happy not to be stuck showing this match later...
- On the same line of thinking...Finley had one of those Ross Reports interviews on WCWWrestling.com Tuesday or Wendsday, but by Friday, there was no link to it on the main page...may have been because of all the hype for Boston Brawl...
- Worldwide Squash Formula (WSF for short): Pushed guy starts off good, Jobber gets a few moves in, Pushed guy gets a few moves and the win.
- Lee Marshall talks to Dean Malenko...since Dean doesn't have an angle right now, just about future championships
- La Parka over Barry Houston
- LA PARKA WINS! LA PARKA WINS!
- Just a quick reminder: Assuming everything goes right, Chan and Charlie will be profiling La Parka this Monday in their Nitro report...
- The chair is at ringside, but La Parka doesn't get in any good shots...
- La Parka's mask seemed a little messed up after the match...hope he has extras
- "nWo for now" Randy Savage (w/ Liz) over Ultimo Dragon by Super Elbow Drop
- Gee, Savage matches two weeks in a row...I guess they're trying to get in those Savage as nWo matches while they still can...
- On my nearly totally irrelevant note of the week...Some friends and I were playing Mike Tyson's Punchout for the NES from so long ago and we (almost) made it to a character named...Super Macho Man, who's from Hollywood...these days, Macho Man and Hollywood don't get along that well...
- Nice match...it's nice that every so often, they give us a good match like this...keeps me from going insane...
- Meng and Barbarian (quote the graphic) (w/ Jimmy Hart) over Michael Nova and Dave Heath by Tongan Death Grip
- Match wasn't too intersting...
- In fact, it was a typical Meng squash:Meng dominates and no-sells moves. Tongan Death Grip.
- I'm starting to realize that there a lot of typical squashes...
- Lee Marshall talks to Ray Traylor, who's gonna take down the nWo...and thanks the Steiners and Ted DiBiase for helping him out...
- Lex Luger over Scott Norton (w/ Vincent) by pinfall
- I don't even need to tell you about this match...you know it already by heart.
