WCW Monday Nitro Season 1, Episode 5: Find Out What It Means To Me 02/10/1995 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: flashing effects/colourful effects/fire

Commentary Award goes to: all of the commentary team working individually or together; Eric Bischoff and Steve "Mongo" McMichael [with Pepe the dog if you are interested it looks like a Chihuahua] and on some research I can confirm at minimum it looks like one making references to Raw, Bischoff I am paraphrasing here telling Bobby " The Brain" Heenan/"Weasel" not to reply to Michael's question or he will pull his mic and Heenan laughing at what happens to the WCW Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan.

Wrestling Award goes to: "Macho Man" Randy Savage and "The Total Package" Lex Luther; Singles Match where if Lex Luger loses he is gone From WCW [surrounding content]

Eddie Guerrero vs. "The Iceman" Dean Malenko: Singles Match [with Disco Inferno interruption, video package of how this match came aboutI know there is a blooper year from Tony Schaivone In short he calls a Frog Splash a Jackknife and breakaway for an incoming Promo then back to the action] and finally "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson vs. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair: Singles Match I like simplistic booking obviously I mean this with no disrespect but every experienced either person in wrestling or fan would know this line/question very well indeed; does everyone look better for having these matches? Yes, especially with the second and third there is some progression here/there.

Debut Award goes to: Eddie Guerrero for his debut on Nitro and not WCW debut, because this would be his second run in this company as on some research it started in 1986 to 1992, but as you can see I have got around that by saying debut on Nitro and as Nitro was not around before late 1995 this is acceptable. But for here and now this match shows with Malenko, there is something special about Guerrero.

Promo Award goes to: "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair interrupting the commentary team from their planed schedule to passionately/furiously build up to his match tonight against "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson.

Video packages of how we got here between Luther and Savage.

The WCW Heavyweight Champion promos with "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart or/and interviewer "Mean"Gene Okerlund [surrounding content]

This episode receives: 10/10, this episode is top-notch entertainment; they really did fill this episode up with as you can see wall-to-wall content of things that mattered, Even some comical moments such as Disco Inferno and Bischoff threatening to disconnect Heenan's mic. I deliberately was a little bit vague, simply based on the fact that I try not to give everything away or directly away.
