Loss Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 The last few minutes. Pretty good and heated, and I always loved how WCW wrestlers got to use the elevated entrance ramp for spots. Sid tries hard, and the other three look really good. Davey Boy pins Vader to take the win for his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Pretty good match. Next to Vader, Sid looks like a complete inept wimp, and he brings the match down a lot whenever he's on offense. Sting is on fire every time he's against Vader. First ever Vader moonsault in the US I guess, although it's kinda wasted since the Bulldog still pins him 20 seconds later (although Sting had to make a save). Beach Blast was a pretty non-descript and disapointing PPV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Vader squashes Bulldog with a Vaderbomb and then follows it up with a Moonsault! Sting makes a big running dive down ramp to make save. Bulldog ends up pining Vader shortly after which made the Moonsault useless for a such a big move.

PeteF3 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not bad action, not great. Vader's moonsault was one of the most mindblowing things people had ever seen, and Sting's running diving save over the ropes was a cool follow-up. Davey Boy shortly afterward gets a crucifix pin on Vader, nicely setting up their Clash rematch. Vader worked this match with a herniated disc in his back, and from what he does here that's possibly a more amazing feat than Windham in the NWA title match.

ajtroma Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Vader debuts a moonsault. Biloxi shits its collective pants. That's the only takeaway I have of this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I liked this match. There's the aforementioned Vaderbomb and Vadersault, but Bulldog also impresses with a vertical suplex on the "Baby Bull." Also, a pretty hot crowd that absolutely loved Sting (with sizable chunks of the audience also cheering Vader) helped keep the match moving.

soup23 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Good action here and the moonsault was crazy followed by the Sting save. I look forward to watching this one again when we get to it on WTBBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I didn't like what we saw here at all. Yes, the Vader moonsaults looked great, and Sting coming over the top rope into the ring to save Davey after the second one was debatably just as impressive as the original move. But this felt really wrong. It did nothing for Sting and Davey whatsoever despite Davey's desperation pin; I have no doubt that Vader can kick either one of their asses at will the next time they meet; he's done it before in both cases, and he and Sid once again had Sting so beaten down that Nick Patrick was asking if he wanted to quit, just like Vader did in the strap match at SuperBrawl. I've never seen a face that badly beaten by a heel before once, let alone twice. I heard the "Vader" chants, which were so loud that Jesse had to acknowledge them. It's hardly a new thing for certain fans to chant for a monster heel, but unlike most promotions, WCW never even experimented with Vader as a face during this run. That's a good thing, because they really didn't have any heels that would have been credible challengers for him aside from Sid. Speaking of whom, there wasn't much of him in the clip we saw. I know he's not the worker Vader is by a longshot, but if he's going to be a big deal going forward, we need to see more of him in action. There wasn't much of note said on commentary, but I liked Patrick firing back on Race and Fuller when they questioned if he could count: "I can count real good!" There was more, but I couldn't quite catch it. You may claim that it's a ref getting himself over needlessly at the expense of the wrestlers, but I loved it. Sometimes heel managers just need to be put in their place. This would have been so much better with a clean, decisive pin on Vader, preferably after a powerslam from Davey. As it is now, I'm not looking forward to their rematch, which will probably be just another extended Vader squash regardless of the finish.
