- In any discussion of non-mentioning competing wrestling companies, it must be remembered and pointed out that the first and prime offender in this vein was the WWF. Wrestling's previous mid-to-late 80's heyday featured a WWF that literally never mentioned the name of another wrestling organization, even when a major star from it would arrive in the WWF. Now that WCW is in the position of dominance and defending itself from the upstart, I suppose the situation has been reversed.
- True, I never watched the WWF much until 1992, so I wouldn't remember this. However, back in the 80s, the WWF was the undisputed king of wrestling. While WCW had dominance for the last few years, I think with the past few shows and ratings losses, the tide has turned again. My guess is that WCW doesn't want to lose any more fans than they already have. A wise philosopher once told me: "Hacksaw Duggan and The Barbarian does not a leading promotion make." I understand that I shouldn't use this forum to vent, but I have one suggestion to Sir Eric of Bischoff: Kill the ego-driven Late Hour and put on some quality matches like you did two years ago. That's what got fans into Nitro.
- Like Bill said, fifteen months of building Sting up, all pissed away.
- Mongo says that people still hold up the four fingers.
- Mongo will talk Arn Anderson into reforming The Four Horsemen.
- Mongo says he is Four Horsemen forever,
- To hype Road Wild, Mongo does this idiotic "motorcycle throttle" motion at the end of the interview.
- Larry Zbyzsko holds my sentiments exactly -- Instead of having a singles match featuring two "random" opponents, hold a tournament. Personally, I'd be thinking battle royal.
- This segment is notable because DDP submits to the Sharpshooter as the announcers talk about how much fight DDP has left in him.
- Good to see an exclusive once again, regardless of the participants.
- They mention WCW's "Open Door Policy" in reference to Blaze challenging Parker.
- A lock-up begins the bout and Parker opens with an armbar.
- Blaze counters with a drop toehold and an armringer.
- Parker regains control and follows with punches and kicks.
- Parker whips Blaze into the corner and gets a side suplex.
- Parker goes onto the middle rope and lands an elbow. Parker's two sucessive pin attempts yield two-counts each.
- Parker with a resthold.
- Blaze tries to mount a comeback, but Parker has none of it.
- Parker with a snapmare takeover followed by a chinlock.
- Blaze hits two shoulderblocks and begins to show offense.

- Blaze puts Parker up in a fireman's carry and hits a fallaway slam for the win!
- Scott Hudson is "flowmoxed" over the situation. Huh? What?
- This match ended in a Double-DQ for both wrestlers. I guess Hacksaw refuses to job to certain superior competition.
- They talk about Buff's recent injury.
- Buff tries to get sympathy out of Lee, but no dice.
- Buff calls the fans and Rick Steiner idiots for sending cards to him.
- I wonder if this is a World Title match.
- Just for the record, it's no longer a clothesline, it's a GOLDBERG CLOTHESLINE. Remember this, for you will be tested later. :)
- The jackhammer is also "world-famous," according to Tony Schivione.
- Scott Hudson: "The streak stays intact...!" Yeah, like Flynn had a chance in hell.
- Man, I can see it now for Starcade 98. Hank, the Angry Drunken Dwarf joins nWo-Hollywood and Tiger Jackson returns to defend WCW in a grudge match. That has "buyrate" written all over it. It also has crap written on it, too.
- Doc Dean's one of my favorite jobbers and plays the face today. I hope he puts up a good fight before going down to this joker.
