Anyway......so I was extremely bored one night and decided that I would review this show.  I mean, it had to happen sometime and for Ohtani knows what reason I decided to do it.  Of course, it's been sitting around for a few weeks now since I haven't had the time or inclination to type this show up, for obvious reasons.  And if you still don't have a clue, it's because this show sucked hardcore.  Move ahead a year and read the Brandon's Starrcade 1995 review.....there's no Hogan to be found, and it's actually a good show.  I read it myself just now to lift myself out of the depression that I was in while typing this review up.  Ah well, enough with the BS, let's get to YOUR matchlist.......
 

Vader  vs.  Jim Duggan   U.S. Title Match
Jean Paul Levesque  vs. Alex Wright
Johnny B. Badd  vs.  Arn Anderson     TV Title
Harlem Heat  vs.  Nasty Boys
Kevin Sullivan  vs.  Mr. T
Avalanche   vs.  Sting
Hulk Hogan  vs. Butcher    WCW World Title Match

Doesn't that matchlist make you want to run out and buy your own copy of this show?
 
 

Aaron Tippin sings the National Anthem.  I don't care.

We get an interview with Randy Savage from Saturday Night.....after a considerable amount of rambling, he says he will "Slap Hogan in the face or shake his hand"......uh yeah Randy, whatever.

The super-fake PWI Awards are presented, and Hogan SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, gets Wrestler Of The Year.  Now, I know Uncle Ted paid PWI off, but COME ON!!!!!  Hogan?!?  I know there are some stupid fans out there, but if they believed that award was legitimately going to Hogan.....than no wonder we've never gained mainstream respect.  Bret, Owen, Shawn, and Razor were all ten times better than Hogan in 1994, and although everyone knows I'm a Bret mark, I would be satisfied in ANY of those guys being ahead of Hogan.  Just ridiculous.
 

Vader  vs.  Hacksaw Jim Duggan (w/HOOOOO and 2 x 4)

Harley Race is with Vader here, as he always was at this time in WCW.  Hey....it's Vader and Duggan, so I'll give you one guess as to how this match starts out.  Yep, we get brawling immediately as Vader hits the rail and Duggan beats up Harley Race.  HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!  Vader tries some stuff, but Duggan puts him in the rail again.  10 punch and a couple clotheslines put Vader outside.  Back in, whip sequence, and Duggan gets 2 off a crossbody (yes, you DID read that correctly....crossbody).  Slam and elbow gets 2.  Rights, armbar, and back elbow get 2 more for Duggan.  Two questions here.....(1)  Who the hell is this imposter that looks like Jim Duggan but is actually wrestling, and (2) will you keep the original and let us keep this one?  Thanks in advance.  Duggan with a kneedrop for 2, then we revert back to form with a chinlock.  Vader gets out and delivers a few stiff shots, but Duggan comes right back.  Harley talks shit to Duggan but Jim ignores it and contines delivering the beating.  Clothesline puts Vader down, but a middle rope elbow misses.  Idiot.  Vader hits rights and the Vader Splash, but Duggan puts his feet on the ropes.   Again, but Duggan is back with more punches.  Avalanche by Vader as Race chokes Duggan.  Vadersault misses as the crowd is actually alive here.  Wow.  See kids, even when a guy has totally cornered the market on cheap pops as the American flag waver, every so often he surprises you with a decent match.  Never thought I'd say that actually.

Both down, but Vader is up first and he avalanches Duggan in the corner and nails him with a clothesline.  Duggan fires back with rights, but the 3 point stance only gets 2 as Harley interferes.  Powerslam by Duggan, but the ref is distracted.  Duggan tries the 3 point stance again, but Vader crushes Duggan to counter for the win.  **1/4   I freely eat my words on this one, I thought it would royally sucked by I was surprisingly entertained.  Anything over * from Jim Duggan is a miracle, so you couldn't ask for much more from this one.   Anything truly CAN happen in wrestling.
 

Interview with Butcher, Kevin Sullivan, and Avalanche.  Ugh.
 

Jean Paul Levesque, another Future World Champ was by WCW  vs.  Alex Wright

And once upon a time, there was a guy named Jean-Paul Levesque who rightly decided he would never accomplish anything in WCW......so he jumped to the WWF and became world champion HHH, maybe the most powerful man in wrestling right now besides Vince.  The world is funny sometimes.

This is Jean's first PPV and he's undefeated at this point, as is Alex "The German Flop" Wright.  Jean starts off right away with his best move at this time, the formal bow.  We get armbars to start but Alex reverses for a dropkick and headscissors.  More mat stuff from both guys, Alex gets a dropkick, and right back to the armbar.  Worked before, let's do it once more.  Geez, this is boring.  More mat stuff from Alex.  I've never understood his propensity for going to mat work when it's painfully obvious he wasn't that great at it.  Jean finally salvages something by locking in an almost-Regal Stretch, but Alex reverses into the Rings of Saturn.  Crowd was into that quick sequence, so of course Alex goes to more armbars.  FINALLY Jean just starts kicking the living shit out of Alex and the crowd pops HUGE.  Choking and leg lariat (!) by Jean.  Formal bow and snap suplex gets 2.  Weird moment as Jean looks for a second as if he's gonna try another move, but then decides it would be a waste of time, and morphs into HHH for righteous ass-kicking mode, for 2.  You can just sense that there was something that he was doing right there, but just couldn't put his finger on it.  But he had a feeling......

Whip sequence leads to Alex completely missing a crossbody and going outside.  Baseball slide by Jean.  Bobby Heenan, out of nowhere on commentary---"Don't you wish you were watching Hogan's Heroes right now instead?"  That's funny you should say that Bobby, considering the rest of this show IS Hogan's cronies, um, heroes.  Back in, sunset flip is blocked by Jean and he gets a powerslam for 2.  Chinlock, BABEEE!!!!!!  Alex tries to escape a few times, but a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and slam put him down.  Up top (!), but Jean misses a flying elbow.  Alex with rights and Euro uppercuts and a hiptoss for 2.  It's no wonder Alex never got over.....his big comeback moves are rights and a hiptoss.  Back body drop, and a shoulderblock sends both down.  Jean up first, but he charges right into a rollup for 3.  **1/2   This wasn't terrible technically, but it was 15 minutes of two rookies with no exciting moves yet, which made it boring.
 

Arn Anderson the MUTHAFUCKIN ENFORCER!!!!!  vs.  Johnny B. Badd

Shouldberblock by Arn to start, and he mocks Badd.  Arn tosses him around, and a wrestling sequence ends with a Badd hammerlock.  Fireman's carry by Arn, countered to a headscissors by Badd.  Fighting over a wristlock, then a Badd Japanese armdrag and badd dropkick, and Arn bails.  Badd punches, atomic drops misses, and Arn hits the spinebuster and kicks some ass.  Ab stretch by Arn, and he uses the ropes and doesn't get caught.  Haha.  Badd sunset flip, but Arn blocks and gets a few 2 counts.  Chinlock, Badd counters to a sleeper, but Arn gets a jawbreaker to break.  Whip and flying headscissors by Badd, and punches and an elbow get 2.  Back body drop, and his top rope sunset flip get 2.  Arn blocks the ten punch, but a Badd rollup gets 3.  *1/2  Solid but boring.  Major problem for this show.
 

Nasty Boys get the (again, fixed) award for Tag Team of the Year.
 

Harlem Heat  vs.  Nasty Boys

Woah.  Sherri actually looks almost do-able here.  WILD brawl to start leads to Sags hitting a pumphandle slam for a quick 2 on Booker.   And now, just because it started hot, we have to slow down and STALL!!!!!  Booker starts kicking ass against Knobbs with forearms and elbows for 2.  All 4 in and the Boys sends Heat outside.  Stevie meets the post and rail, and Sags whip Booker right into a Knobs clothesline.  Tony is already confused about who the legal men are .....I don't even have to look back at my notes to remember it's Booker and Knobbs.  Geez, Tony.  Knobbs with a couple clotheslines inside, and a face plant gets 2.  Tag to Sags and they kick Stevie around.  Tag to Booker and the Nasties work over Booker's left arm.  Apparently that served absolutely ZERO purpose though as they promptly forget about it.  Whatever.....and Joey Nelson thought we were hard on HIM in the APW review.  Shit....if this show was actually worth spending anymore time on I'd go off on the Nasties here, but the show sucks.  After some more "wrestling", Stevie comes in for the NECK PINCH OF DAMNATION and bearhuggery.  Stevie, you suck.  Booker takes over the bearhug, but Sags comes back with a double DDT.  All 4 in, Sherri climbs on the apron and accidently sprays Stevie with something, Knobbs tosses Booker, and Sags hits the TEST PATENTED ELBOW!!!!  Sherri tries to come off the top for the save, but hits Booker instead and that draws the DQ.  *1/4  Postmatch, Sherri gets the Pit Stop.  Hmmm, let me check....did I just waste 15 minutes of my life to watch a tag team match that ended with a shitty DQ and to see Sherri get a Pit Stop.......why, yes I did. FUCK YOU WCW!!!!!
 

Sting gets the award for Most Popular Wrestler.  Now, out of all the awards given tonite, that's the only one I would even remotely believe.
 

Are you still there?  WHY?!?!?!?!?!  Save yourself now and read no further.  I'm serious.
 

Kevin Sullivan  vs.  Mr.  T

I can't remember why this match happened.  I frankly don't give a fuck either.  Something vaguely resembling crappy GLOW wrestling, but not quite that good, commences before Evad comes out as Santa and hits Kevin from behind with a microphone, and T gets the pin.  -**

Didn't I warn you?  Hit your back button right now!!!!!!!
 

Typical Hogan interview.  Nothing coherent is said.
 

Sting vs. Avalanche

Big pop for Sting, naturally.  Stalling to start.....lots of stalling.  Girlie pushes by both guys, and more stalling.  Test of strength.  Everything.....moving.....so......slow.  Kicks by Sting, stalling.  Bearhug, sleeper, stalling.  I should point out that I fell asleep right here......and I was watching this in the afternoon, and taking my notes.  It's not like I was just absently watching this late at night for no reason.....that's how boring this match and this show is.  So, after I wake up and rewind the tape to get back here, and after TWENTY MORE FUCKIN MINUTES of the stuff you already read, Sting gets the Stinger Splash and Scorpion Deathlock, but Kevin Sullivan runs in.  Hogan runs in for the save, drawing the DQ.  -**  Heenan goes off on Hogan postmatch......
 

***I'd just like to point out that those last two matches seriously challenged the record for lowest rating I've ever given, which is currently at -**1/2 by Paul Orndorff and Great Muta at Slamboree 1995.***
 

Jimmy Hart wins Manager of the Year.
 

Hulk Hogan  vs.  The Butcher

Butcher comes out to no reaction whatsoever.  He might be the biggest waste of space in pro wrestling post-1990.....and that's saying something, considering Michael Buffer is doing the ring announcments here.  Hogan comes out to about 1/20th of the pop he used to get in WWF.   Lockup to start and Hogan tosses him off to show power.  Butcher immediately goes to the chops and eye rakes.  Outside, Hogan into the rail.  Eye rakes, back rakes, and choking with the cable.  More back raking, and Jimmy Hart stops Butcher from using the chair, letting Hogan come back with an atomic drop.  Ah yes, there's that classic babyface Hogan, taking advantage of interference from the manager.  Hogan meakly sends Butcher to the railing, then the post.  Then wouldnt you know it, that paragon of virtue Hogan uses the chair on Butcher.  That's right kids, it's alright to hit someone with a chair, but only if you're the good guy.  Hogan chokes with the chair.  Butcher actually comes back with a running knee that would make HHH proud, but then he hits the choking and back raking again to make Hogan proud.  Powerslam by Butcher, but a middle rope elbow misses.  Hogan with rights and Butcher begs off....so what does Hogan do?  HE BITES HIM!!!  I mean, what the fuck?  This is the hero to millions?  Finally, Hogan can no longer ignore his base instincts and goes to the back rake, eye rake, and clothesline, then talks shit to Butcher.  10 punch by Hogan and more biting.  Butcher back with choking and the neck pinch.  Hogan gets out and hits a Space Flying Tiger Drop......no, not really, I was just seeing if you were paying attention.

Hogan got out, but Butcher hits the SLEEPAHHHH!!!!!!!  The arm drops, but Hogan BARELY gets the arm up the 3rd time and Butcher doesnt see it.  Butcher celebrates, so Hogan lays down and plays possum, then beats his ass.  The Faces of Fear are out, Hogan takes them all out, then drops the leg on Butcher for the win.  Yeah.  1/4*  Postmatch, Savage comes out to the biggest pop of the night, and organizes the Faces of Fear so they can attack Hogan 4 on1.  Then.......SWERVE, as Savage takes them all out and Savage shakes Hogan's hand.  No.....I didnt see that coming from light years away or anything.
 

Official Grade-- F.  Well, checking back, match average is about 1/4*.  The best match of the night was between 2 rookies who didnt even have that good of a match.  I think I probably gave it **1/4 just because the rest of the stuff sucked so bad.  Except for the first two matches, everything else actively sucked a huge fat one.  Honestly, I can't even believe you read the report this far.  I think I was mentally scarred after watching this.  I've seen worse, but only slightly worse.  A very very very VERY serious challenger to Worst PPV Ever. Unless you're a sadist and love pain and torment, you should destroy the show on sight so that it doesn't fall into the hands of innocents who could be corrupted by the evilness of this show.
