Yeh the PPV came off very bad:
The card was originally to be highlighted by a Steel cage match between Ric Flair and Lex Luger for the WCW World Championship, and this match was heavily promoted on WCW TV. However, just a few days before the show, then-WCW Executive Vice President Jim Herd fired Flair over a contract dispute, stripping him of the title in the process. Since Flair owned the physical title belt, he took it with him to the (then) World Wrestling Federation, so WCW had to make a new WCW World Heavyweight Championship belt; however, the new belt could not be readied in time for the event, so an old belt (Dusty Rhodes' Florida Heavyweight Championship belt) was used as a temporary replacement, with a makeshift "WCW World Heavyweight Championship" plate affixed to the front.

By chance are there any pics of this belt floating around? What were the other matches on the card? |

It was a very bad show with nothing redeeming on it. The whole night the crowd chants we want Flair!!! and the wrestlers just seem to be at a low morale basically phoning in their matches. Shame too because matches like Pillman/Badd, Luger/Windham, Sting/Koloff, and Gibson/Morton could've REALLY saved this show from being the suckfest it was.

I remember seeing the highlights of the Windham/Luger match on tv the following weekend.
I've never seen the full ppv, but I really want to now... I realize it'll be bad, but I love a lot of the people in it, and want to see some of the crazy gimmicks.

It's just not worth the risk. |
