WCW Monday Nitro Season 1, Episode 7: Find Out What It Means To Me 16/10/1995 by AverageMansReviews

Warning/Disclaimer: flashing effects/colourful effects/fire/simulation of neck breaking/shooting. Disclaimer: anything I say about this individual is purely based on wrestling and nothing else

Commentary Award goes to: Eric Bischoff for being generally informative and basically being the maestro of the show, handing things off and go back to him, moving on and that kind of thing.

Wrestling Award goes to: Eddie Guerrero vs. "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit; Singles Match full disclosure I know there are a couple of botches in this match from  Guerrero, but if you have been around wrestling long enough you would know that for a wrestling perspective these two can go and that's what they show here.

Debut Award goes to: "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit; this was his debut in WCW and it made him and Guerrero look both as real deals

Promo Award goes to: abbreviated videos package of  "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair asking the WCW US Heavyweight Sting to be his tag team partner with "Mean"Gene Okerlund last Saturday at WCW Pro,"Mean"Gene Okerlund promoting the WCW Hotline for all your wrestling news; brings up the WWF/E in that news and to finish off we have the same trio from Saturday in the ring as Flair is looking for a response from Sting; based on what Sting has just seen tonight he accepts; so at WCW Halloween Havoc 1995 we have "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson & Flyin' Brian vs. the WCW US Heavyweight Champion Sting & "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair: Tag Team Match

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; again full disclosure; we get another video package or/and Promo of; the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan [with "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart;] building up this feud more with The Dungeon Of Doom's The Giant [with The Taskmaster Kevin Sullivan;] for their matches at WCW Halloween Havoc 1995 for his championship. Yes absolutely I have given promo awards up to this point as it relates to these promos, but the problem is we have heard something similar from the champ and Hart for a long time now. So at this point I am like meh, it does what it is designed to do, but I can also say on reflection this is the weakest one so far, if I had to pick one [it could be because I have heard similar promo over the past many weeks so it could always be an element of becoming stale creeping in or this one just comes off a Little bit more of a ramble,] but as I have just said it does what it is designed to do. But don't get me wrong regardless if it does what it is designed to do, if the quality drops lower I will happily award these promos potentially Thumbs Down Award
