Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WCW Bash at the Beach 16/07/1995 Match 6/Part 6 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WCW Bash at the Beach 16/07/1995 Match 6/Part 6 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Disclaimer: I have never been a professional wrestler and never likely to be.

Background information: Schiavone and Heenan; momentarily bring up the previous match and then build up this match and then the main event Vader vs. the WCW World Heavyweight Hogan with [Jimmy Hart] Steel Cage Match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and then they switch back to the upcoming match which would be this one; where Schiavone explains these stipulations [look at the paragraph down for my interpretation.] Then we have this interview segment interviewer "Mean" Gene Okerlund with Ric Flair building up this match, then we have the entrance of these Lifeguards; which Heenan tries to stand on his chair to get a better look which Schiavone in short point out to him you are now on camera and with that he realises and goes to sit back on his chair with them continuing this dialogue exchange; after that Heenan stands up and performs this two-handed whistle and these Lifeguards with Schiavone laughing and sending it down David Penzer [ring announcer.]

Match/Stipulations: "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. "The Macho Man" Randy Savage: Lumberjack/Lifeguard Match; here is more information on the stipulations, basically we have Lumberjacks surrounding the ring and further back we would have some Lifeguards; this is purely speculation/mixed in with common sense they obviously couldn't have these Lifeguards in direct harm’s way, but they needed to fulfil what they had been advertising and they were doing some filming for Baywatch Season 6: Episode 15: Bash at the Beach [Schiavone makes reference to this at some point during this match or just to cover my back match slot,] so I have no problem with this outcome here.

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 7/10

Match Storyline: 7/10

Crowd Participation: 7/10

On Commentary: Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan 7/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 7/10

Recommend Watch: 7/10

Match Total: 42/60 - this match is good

Comments: as you can see this is another good match here. Now in this match/match slot; The Nasty Boys [Brian Knobbs & Jerry Sags] are Babyfaces as they are situated on Savage's side of the ring and more importantly acting like Babyfaces. I am just bringing this up because in their match on this card; The Blue Bloods [Lord Steven Regal & Earl Robert Eaton] vs. The Nasty Boys [Brian Knobbs & Jerry Sags] vs. the WCW World Tag Team Champions Haarlem Heat [Booker T & Stevie Ray with Sister Sherry:] Triangle Match for the WCW World Tag Team Championships; I did point out that we had out and out Heels all the way around this match minus the referee [Nick Patrick.]

Yes I have been around wrestling long enough to know this could just be a case of characters/performers just fulfilling a purpose, but I also know if I don't pointed out I know at some point down the line someone will come back to me.

Now for some strange reason the turnbuckle on the left far side makes a weird sound [as in it may need maintenance or it is broken] you will know the sound when you watch this match and one of these two competitors get irish-whiped hard enough here, like I have already said I have never been or are likely to be a professional wrestler, but something doesn't sound right here.]

Flair tries to suplex Savage back into the ring off the apron, but Savage reversers and Flair gets suplexed over the ropes and out of the ring, but the more and more I replayed this; the more the aggressor in the second phase; Savage tosses Flair over the top rope not a suplex reversal. I got the word "tosses" from the commentary of Schiavone. Heenan: "Now that - he's now that's over the top rope. We should stop the match right now." Schiavone: "Flair at the apron that was not a deliberate toss over the top rope."I know this was a botch, but with keeping kayfabe a live and working with what we see it clearly looks like it was deliberate as Flair takes a bump to the outside, to quickly cover this up the lumberjacks quickly pick him and roll him in to the ring, so they can get on with the match. But I digress Heenan responds to Schiavone with "What do you think that was? Schiavone "The match goes on." After this match Savage verbally/visually by Schiavone and Heenan gets given an award Snap of The Match [ an award by Slim Jim's; which as I have previously stated at the beginning of this pay-per-view Savage has a very long-term association with this organisation and yes I am very much aware that they have just given an award to their spokesperson and this sequence sounds more like an advertiser Slim Jim's,] but then again they have given it to him based on his legendary finisher the elbow drop from the top of turnbuckle.

Basic Result: I know I have given away the outcome, but I still have to do the admin; "The Macho Man" Randy Savage picks up the W.

RIP Randall "The Macho Man" Randy Savage Pofto;15/11/1962-20/05/2011, He is no longer with us, but he will always be best remembered for his larger-than-life outfits, enthusiastic promos and is legendary elbow-drop from the top turnbuckle.
