Rex was actually getting a semi-push as a solo act which is another illustration of what complete shit the WCW roster was turning into. He's awful here. Scorpion's dialogue is mercifully drowned out by the poor audio quality. Sting threatens two fans that he thinks are rail-jumpers only to get attacked mildly annoyed by a psychotic woman, who I believe is Bambi. Ross' open contempt for this bullshit is palpable.

The execution of this was rather putrid as well. We see this lady (possibly Bambi, not sure) just idly walk around the barricade into ringside (right in front of Doug Dellinger) and stand there for like 10 seconds before attacking.

 

Ole never got another booking job exactly why again???

I don't know what else there is to say about this abomination. Now we get crazy women attacking Sting out of nowhere? Ole was out of tricks, and not a moment too soon, thankfully.

 

I liked Paul saying that first JR, then Gordon was the Scorpion. He has a point; the man could conceivably have been anybody. As Paul also said, every last clue could have been nothing but a trap (as indeed they all turned out to be, since Flair was the one who was unmasked). JR finally wonders about six weeks too late how the Scorpion gets into the WCW production truck, which should have been the very first thing he brought up. As Pete said, he comes as close as he ever would to openly taking an on-air dump on a given angle, stating that he doesn't like this kind of stuff in wrestling. Of course, that's easy for him to say now that Ole's either already been sacked or soon would be in favor of Dusty, and that he gets to be the interim booker himself.

 

Rex isn't useless here, but his day as a seriously pushed act (at least in the Moondog gimmick) came and went nine years before in the WWF when he, King, and Spotty were tag team champions with Albano. Interestingly, the gear he wears in this match is similar to the gear he wore then, with the dark blue pullover shirt.

 

Concerning the Christmas card at the Omni that JR mentioned, there were only eight matches, not nine, and the only way you get four main events is to count the Steiners' match with the Master Blasters. It's a good thing that the Scorpion (Flair) didn't win the title at Starrcade, because in honoring Sting's commitments he would have defended against........himself! (Sting won the Omni match on a countout after Flair's pin with his feet on the ropes was disallowed.)
