[1999-02-21-WCW-Superbrawl IX] Ric Flair vs Hulk Hogan
Zero replied to Loss's topic in February 1999
Hogan & Flair were working their asses off for this. I was really enjoying the intensity between the two at this stage. Hogan hitting Flair with the belt til Flair just shoots for a ankle pick on Hogan, which Hogan just answers with wild belt swinging was awesome. The shitty storyline finish/turn killed it from being a really memorable great late-WCW match, sadly. -
Lance Russell holding a light up and directing traffic to film the brawl makes it feel so organic and real.
-
Watching this after watching all the 77-78 stuff I could find between the two. A rushed version of the classic match. Steamboat's offense is really over and working in front of the Japanese crowd. I don't think I like it as much as most their stuff, but still really good.
-
This is the first time I can remember seeing punch strikes in this early footage.
-
Stretcher hits a pretty smooth counter on one of Sonnenberg's tackles to take his back.
-
Sonnenberg like in most of the footage available gets great crowd reaction for his football techniques. The finish seems Sonnenberg going for a big slam and getting tripped up & pinned. Not bad.
-
Pretty wild moment in this when Sonnenberg tackles Plestina through the ropes all the way to the floor.
-
the grappling in these matches was actually pretty fun to watch. first match even featured a cool gut wrench.
-
they dropped Sting down from the ceiling and tossed some NWO shirts on him. the one guy who was once the savior of WCW has now joined the guy who cost him the belt weeks prior. red/black sting as a kid seemed really cool, but that was before I had full functional brain.
-
WCW is treading water and just throwing Wolfpac trying to save it. Luger joining got over great in the moment, but was nonsensical.
-
Eric going full Cobra Kai is hilarious, imagining dyed hair Bischoff doing wheel kicks to a juiced up Vince .
-
The Wolfpac seem to be over big, even though the group lacks any form of chemistry. The red and black was smart switch up, and was pretty popular. Nash comes off so goofy, trying to tap in the pop culture of the time.
-
DX going full army parody invading WCW's turf. Still get a kick out of this, even though I've seen it countless times over the years.

[1998-04-22-WCW-Thunder] Lex Luger & Rick Steiner vs Buff Bagwell & Scott Norton
Zero replied to Loss's topic in April 1998
I'd never seen this before. Bagwell's head extending backwards after ramming into Rick's back, frightening. The show comes to a halt, and the updates leave you thinking the worst. -
Now, we can add Bret to the dead in the water club with Sting. He's done. We see him in the following weeks rocking a Hogan shirt and hanging with NWO Black and White, a total dork.
