This is SOOO overproduced. Dusty shows up at "the baddest bar around" (which has pinball machines, beatniks and very peculiar racial diversity) to ask the Nastys to team with him going into War Games. Sound effects for punches! I'm pretty sure there are two guys dressed like Rob and Fab in the background. Pricelessly bad.

Fuck that, this shit was awesome. Yes, it was overproduced and ridiculous but I see it as Dusty Rhodes (the old WCW) inserting himself into the new WCW which is full of overproduction and melodrama to find a team who's "nasty" enough to go with the big boys who end their disputes in tough fights. Basically, I've always seen this feud to be the last "WCW feud" ever.

I would put this one up there with spin the wheel make the deal and Beach Blast in the cheese department. Dusty gives a good promo and you wish they could have mixed in this speech at WCWSN or something. Have the Nasties beat up two jobbers and then get Dusty to do his spiel. However, if that wouldn't have happened I wouldn't have been able to get the good life like I did from watching this.

God awful. Looks like a "bad bar" out of a Ninja Turtle movie or something. The Nasty Boys aren't just embarrassing wrestlers, they are also embarrassing actors. But what can you do, Saggs is Dusty's brother in law, and Knobbs is Hogan's pal. Yeah, this is nearly as bad as anything involving Cheatum. But the lack of Cheatum keeps this from being awesomely bad.

The Nastiest Bar in all of Nastyville. You could almost feel the danger coming at you from every direction. Had it been anyone else as the lead character then whole thing would've been a surreal insanity. Yet with Dusty in the middle of the piece it somehow made sense. We were taking a trip into Dusty's dream world, and with him as our guide everything would be okay.

My God, it's like the old mini-movies without the budget. It's a Nasty Boys-centered bar--dig the record scratch and music stoppage when Dusty finally confronts them, like an '80s teen comedy trailer. I actually ilke the idea of the Nasties taking up Dusty's offer simply because fighting in a WarGames would come naturally to them, but...yeah, this could have been executed better.

Kinda think this is a cut above the Cheatum mini-movies, mostly because of Dusty. He has a definite presence that no one in those had, and gives it some grounding in a kind of reality. I think there's an alternate universe where Dusty ends up a brilliant, Sam Elliot-esque character actor instead of a pro wrestler.
