Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WCW: Hog Wild
10/08/1996 Match 6/Part 6 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!
Disclaimers: now just to cover my back; I'm
not going to discuss the historic situation better known as "The Plane
Ride from Hell" as it relates to Ric Flair here and I am not a
professional wrestler and never likely to be either.
Background information: in a nutshell after this
match; Schiavone hands things over to
"Mean" Gene Okerlund he makes reference to
the 56th of this gigantic rally over these scenes of it, then we have this
interview segment with the WCW World Heavyweight Champion The Dungeon of Doom's [The Giant with Jimmy Hart,]about tonight's match against the
N.W.O's "Mr. Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. Okerlund hands things to David Penzer
[Ring announcer] and our next match/Schiavone with this little graphic on the screen; Grudge Tag Team Match
in this silver circle [purely speculation this is maybe meant to symbolise a
hubcap;] these words are in different fonts
in one way or another of black or silver text coming down the screen and to the
right at the bottom

Match Total: 42/60 - this match is good.
Comments: this match is solidly good, To begin with we have a
little bit of pantomime between Flair, Guerrero,
the Referee [Randy Anderson,] Miss Elizabeth and Woman. Because things aren't
going away Flair wants them to go. Flair Pushes Anderson to escape from
Guerrero Pushes And push down, Flair starts on Anderson pushing him as Flair is
getting up off the canvas, we roughly end up at the top right corner, pushes on
the chest so Anderson doesn't back and then it happened again [this is
speculation that having a educated guess Anderson is seemingly telling him
something to the effect of " I am the referee you will respect me.]Flair
and Guerrero Continue with this hard back and forth with shoves and hard slaps
until Flair falls down on his posterior and quickly escapes under the bottom
rope with Guerrero trying to grab at him as he exits the ring, flair goes to
take a little break with Elizabeth with women screaming at Anderson and at Guerrero
at some point.
There
is this botch, which when you think looks small, but it is one of those small
ones where even performer can't protect themselves due to contact on contact.
It is early on in this match where Guerrero
reverses Flair's headlock suplex. Guerrero tries to go from his back to his
front when Flair lifts him and something goes wrong it collapses Flair takes
Guerrero's legs on his arm and Guerrero takes the impact as well. Flair falling
to the campus in pain and Guerrero rolling out of the ring on the opposite
side, clearly in some discomfort with the commentary team in short highlighting
this sequence of events with Dream: [this is an excerpt] "Flair went to
pick him up and Eddie Guerrero come and rolled off him, I think he hurt his
ankle a bit. I know what an excerpt means, but just the cover my back again
Dream does say more here [I was thinking I would just put this here, just in
case someone was thinking I was hiding something from you; hence the usage of
an excerpt.]
Moving on I think a member of the crowd was trying to be
a comedian by shouting out Booooring! You are roughly looking/hearing out when
Flair goes to collect himself in his corner outside of the ring for the second
time with Woman it is roughly around here somewhere and can I just say this
individual is just being a posterior, because even after this botch these two
competitors/performers are still putting on a positive match, even after this
very short chant, they have one more botch/blooper to overcome which this one
is/was completely out of their control and I have no idea what went wrong here,
but let's just put it this way; it looks like someone forgot to pay the
electricity bill as some of these lights go out for a little while, they are
still wrestling one another.
Basic Result: [The New Four Horsemen's the WCW
United States Heavyweight Champion "The Nature Boy" Rick Flair with
Woman & Miss Elizabeth] Retains his WCW United States Heavyweight
Championship.
RIP Eduardo "Eddie Guerrero" Llanes 09/10/1967-13/11/2005.
Simply put he may be gone but he will never ever, ever be forgotten; for making
an earth shattering Frog Splash on to the wrestling world
