Live from Detroit, MIAttendance 14,000Your commentators are Bobby Heenan & Tony SchiavoneTelevision TitleJohnny B Badd (C) Vs The Honky Tonk ManIt ends in a 15 minute time-limit draw. All that boredom for nothing. Honky shouldn't have challenged for anything at this juncture. Never thought he was that good to begin with.*1/2 out of 5Tag Team TitlesStars & Stripes (C) Vs Pretty WonderfulStars and Stripes are Marcus "Buff" Bagwell & The Patriot. Pretty Wonderful consists of Paul Orndorff and Paul Roma. Roma and Orndorff win the titles. Another highly boring match that felt like it went an hour with how dull it was. The crowd loved the heels, why I don't know.* out of 5Kevin Sullivan Vs Dave SullivanDave Sullivan comes out in Hogan gear and a theme called "I wanna be a hulkamaniac" This match was a joke and almost unbearable to watch. If you care, Dave wins by DQ. Not much more to say, as I wanna wash my hands off it immediately.DUDDustin Rhodes Vs Arn AndersonDustin wins by reversing a roll-up. This was a nifty little match between these two. It flowed smoothly. My only complaint is the shockingly poor selling by Arn from his hand. You'd think a consummate pro like him would know that.***1/4 out of 5United States Title'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan (C) Vs 'Stunning' Steve AustinDuggan wins by DQ after Austin backdrops Duggan over the top rope. What cheap BS. Austin carried Duggan to a watchable match, which is a mini miracle itself. Duggan was only champion because he was a buddy of Hogan's and Austin got buried by Duggan. *3/4 out of 5Vader Vs The Guardian AngelThe Guardian Angel is The Big Bossman. These two have had quite the rivalry. Vader wins after a costly distraction by Harley Race. This was a solid match between two great big men. Guardian Angel was booked like a dummy, that's my only complaint. Why must they always go after the manager when they have the match won?*** out of 5Boxer, Thomas "Hitman" Hearns cuts a boring and pointless promo.The Nasty Boys Vs Bunkhouse Buck & Terry FunkNasty's win. This match is entertaining for one reason and one reason only! Terry Funk. He single-handedly makes this watchable with his bizarre antics like repeatedly hitting himself in the face with a chair. Otherwise, this is forgettable stuff.** out of 5Muhammad Ali gets an award from Eric Bischoff. Cool. World Heavyweight Title (Steel Cage)Hulk Hogan (C) Vs Ric FlairIf Flair loses, he must retire. If Hogan loses, he must retire. It's career vs career. Hogan wins after a plethora of failed interference. Hogan gets attacked after the match by a masked man. It turns out to be...BROTHER BRUTI! (Brutus Beefcake) Hogan gets assaulted by Bruti, Kevin Sullivan, and Avalanche (Earthquake) before Sting saves the day. This is one of my favorite cage matches. The cage match is very stale today, but this had tons of great drama, storytelling, even if you knew Flair was retiring. They made you think. Great stuff all around. Only complaint is how they said "The masked man must have been under the ring all day" UMM...Brutus was shown coming with Hogan to the ring before the match. Lack of continuity bothers me.***3/4 out of 5I'd have to give this PPV a decent rating. Couple of good matches and a great main event really help get it over the hump. Unfortunately, this would start the dreaded Dungeon of Doom as well.6/10

1st Match: Johnny B. Badd vs The Honky Tonk Man, WCW World TV Championship. You know, I'm pretty sure Badd has had the opening match for every PPV this year, that's quite impressive. The match is actually pretty good, even though it ends in a draw. At least Honky Tonk Man didn't win, I freakin' hate that guy. Rating: 3.5/5 2nd Match: Pretty Wonderful vs Stars and Stripes, WCW World Tag Team Championships. A lot better than their match at Fall Brawl. Not perfect, but it at least had a pace to it. The ending is also good because it means I won't see The Patriot again. Rating: 3.5/5 3rd Match: Kevin Sullivan vs Dave Sullivan. A nothing match that ends by countout, awesome! Rating: 0.5/54th Match: Dustin Rhodes vs Arn Anderson. I'm really hoping this is the finale of their feud. They've done pretty much all they could do and then some. The match is actually pretty good, even though this is like their fourth match against each other. Rating: 3.5/5 5th Match: Steve Austin vs Hacksaw Jim Duggan, WCW US Heavyweight Championship. This is not a good match for Austin to go out on. It's better than their match at Fall Brawl, but the DQ ending is BS. At least Austin would go on to bigger and better things. Rating: 3/5 6th Match: Vader vs "Totally Not The Big Bossman". A better match than I thought it would be. I'm getting' real tired of Harley Race interfering in these kinds of matches that don't mean anything. Rating: 3/5 7th Match: The Nasty Boys vs Terry Funk and Bunkhouse Buck. So I'm guessing this whole PPV is an apology for the matches at Fall Brawl being largely forgettable. The crowd's into it, and Terry Funk losing is always entertaining. Rating: 3/5 8th Match: Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair, Steel Cage/Retirement match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship (Special Guest Referee: Mr. T). Well they certainly saved the best match for last. The last 10 minutes are utter chaos and I thought Hogan winning was a great idea. I know Flair won't stay retired, but I imagine this was the biggest match of all time back then. Rating: 4.5/5 Final Rating: 6 out of 10. A good bounce back for WCW. If you skip the Sullivan's match, you're left with a pretty good show, and a cool main event.

1. TV Title Match: Honky Tonk Man Vs. Champ-Johnny B.Badd - Draw end. 5.5/10 2. Pretty Wonderful Vs. Stars & Stripes - I'm getting bored with these two teams. 5/10 3. Kevin Sullivan Vs. Dave Sullivan - This wasn't bad, this was AWFUL! Maybe the only match, in which Kevin Sullivan didn't look, like the greatest idiot in the game. Because Dave aka Hulkamaniac is superterrible performer. 2/10 4. Arn "Goofy" Anderson Vs. Dustin "Overbooked" Rhodes Vs. This is ultra boring feud. Both of performers are boring in the ring, so why we don't put them into ring simultaneously? 4.5/10 5. U.S. Heavyweight Title Match: Stunning Steve Austin Vs. Champ-Hacksaw Jim Duggan - What you should expect from insulting Duggan. At least he won by DQ, didn't beat Austin. 5/10 6. Guardian Angel Vs. Vader - It's 4th match in a row that had idiot inside. This time it's Big Stiff Man. With this dumb even Vader looks dumber. Only for Vader's win I give 5/10.7. Tag Team Title Match: Terry Funk/Bunkhouse Buck Vs. Nasty Boys - Again, nothing special... 5.5/10 8. Career Match: Ric Flair Vs. Hulk "I always win" Hogan - Sick match. Hogan severally attacked Sherri and WON! He's the best, flexible athlete and wrestler! If he's 80 years old, he should still be world champ and win every match. Retarded fans. Cheer for him harder! Poor match. 4/10 This PPV was as bad as Fall Brawl 1994. That year wasn't strong for WCW.
