Been watching SummerSlam 92' over the past few days. IMO this is a lackluster PPV aside from Savage/Warrior and Bret/Bulldog
Btw, where was Hogan during all of this? I know I probably know the answer and just forgot.

Thanks man.

WCW War Games 1998: Team Wolfpack vs. Team NWO vs. Team WCW
Remarkable match for a few reasons: - Kevin Nash ran to the ring. Yes, ran. - All that talent in the ring and that match still sucked - Warrior getting his ass kicked, then reappearing 12 seconds later in the entranceway unhurt. - The team concept proved totally useless/unneeded - Everyone sold the slapjack like death
Up Next: War Games 1995.... I don't have high hopes for this one

Watching SVS 92. Loved The Model Vs. Tatanka and Savage/Perfect Vs. Flair/Ramon.
On the SVS match now. Looking forward to seeing Bret Vs. Shawn again.

Lesnar vs Undertaker HIAC No Mercy 2002
Decent match, mainly because of the sheer violence and some decent work involving the cast/arm. But, I also kinda hated the match because of the absolutely ludicrous selling of the arm on the part of Taker. Cole and Tazz did a decent job covering for him by claiming it was 'adrenaline' and all that kind of stuff but really there was absolutely no way to cover up for that kind of crapIMO. Example- Brock nails Taker in the arm about 5 times with a chair, Taker sells well. Then two seconds later as Lesnar tries to remove the cast, Undertaker starts unloading a ton of punches with seemingly no trouble whatsoever. Plus, later on he chokeslams Brock with his bad arm (castless as well) with no discomfort, let alone the intense pain you would expect. What's worse is that there were points during the match where Taker WAS slowed down by his injury, like when he tried to pick up the steps but couldn't. Inconsistency.
So yeah, I did actually enjoy the match believe it or not, but it did also frustrate the hell out of me at times. Really surprising to read that many consider this 'one of the best matches of the era'. Hell, I wouldn't call it a match of the year candidate against the likes of Edge + Mysterio vs Benoit + Angle from the same card, or HHH vs HBK from Summerslam.

Yeah, that match was a disaster. Bret/DDP to start was good but it all went downhill from there. Goldberg vs. Sting: Nitro after War Games 1998: Short basic match but the crowd was AMAZING. Totally in to it and I wish crowds were like that today. Every WCW Nitro main event had a DQ but the obvious match that should have had a DQ, this one(to save a definitive finish for a PPV return match that would have done big business and well Hogan was kinda obvious) had a clean 1,2,3 ending. Way to kill off a blockbuster PPV rematch, but..... Goldberg vs. Sting: Slamboree 1999: Here we go again. Pretty similar to the Nitro match, crowd on fire again. However here we got the DQ. On PPV. Good job WCW. Kevin Nash vs. Rey Mysterio: Nitro 1999: Rey becomes the giant killer. Anything that could have come out of this was ruined when Nash destroyed Rey on the next PPV. Amazing powerbomb when he did it though. War Games 1995: Terrible. LOADED babyface team, but the heels consisted of Meng/Earthquake/Kamala/Brutus Beefcake and Kevin Sullivan. Not the greatest opponents for Sting, Macho, Luger and Hogan. War Games 1993: Jesse Ventura was hilarious on commentary, ragging on the Shockmaster before he got in the ring saying he hope he doesn't fall in and acting like it was a big deal when he got in the rings and didnt fall. Doomsday Cage Match from Uncensored 1996: I just watched the ending of the match as that was all I had time for. A real... a real hit. WTF.

Watched a few matches from Stone Cold's recent DVD and Undertaker's Deadliest Matches:
Stone Cold:
Summerslam 1998 - WWF Championship Stone Cold vs. Undertaker
Love this match. Leg drop to the announcers table is one of my favorite spots ever.
RAW 1999 Stone Cold vs. Big Show Fun little RAW is WAR main event. Loved the stuff from Mankind. Him randomly attacking Show during the match was hilarious.
WrestleMania XV - WWF Championship Stone Cold vs. Rock I liked this match, but the other two WrestleMania bouts and even their match at Backlash were better than this.
Undertaker:
Backlash 2007 - Last Man Standing - World Heavyweight Championship Undertaker vs. Batista I enjoyed this match. Probably one of my least favorite matches between these two though. WrestleMania 23 and Hell in a Cell were better.
Summerslam 2008 - Hell in a Cell Undertaker vs. Edge Man I love this match. Two of my all time favorites in the cell. These two literally beat the hell out of each other, and I mean literally. Even in the "PG" world these guys proved you can still have an awesome Cell match without blood. All you need is a good story. What a great way to close out an awesome feud.

I still say UT vs Edge in HIAC needed blood.after all he had inflicted on UT it just didnt seem right for him not to be gushing......but ah well it was what it was.....2008 being the year of the turnaround and all.

I like the Steiner Brothers vs Headshrinkers match.....i should give that PPV another chance. I remember being disappointed at the time...and in subsequent re watchings.

This was one of my favorites as a kid. It is pretty lack luster though. Pisses me off that Hogan had to come in and win the belt. Made no sense at all. Overall this event only had two maybe three good matches.

terry funk vs kevin nash from wcw souled out 2000
i never had seen it so i checked it out. pretty trash match. good powerbombs spots nut wasn't enough to make it worthwhile and it was kind of rough seeing funk take those bumps...and that was 12 years ago for chrissake.
