Comments: this entire match slot is on one
hand positive; excellent, whilst on the other hand negative; well that was
certainly a messy ride to get us moving forward.
Well let us start with the entrances look how Anderson has been
referenced in his entrance [this isn't precise in my description, but you get
the point] all I have to say about this is foreshadowing much. Sting is
announced as the WCW US Heavyweight Champion yet this championship is nowhere
to be seen, this in itself annoys me, if you are any champion you're meant to
carry your championship regardless if it is on the line or not and for some
strange reason this child boos Sting with a thumbs down. Which I know everyone
is entitled to do whatever they want within reason, but he is a baby face and
more importantly he hasn't done anything remotely wrong in the build-up to this
match/match slot so I find it odd, yes maybe this individual is not a Sting fan
which is acceptable. But other than that where is this motivation coming from
if that is not the case.
The referee Randy Anderson has a rocky time in this match that is for
sure; Arn is the legal man, goes over to Brian and has worked, yes they touch
so why isn't this a tag? Randy does speak to Brian but it should have still
been a tag. Heenan highlights that Flair is not dressed to wrestle on more than
one occasion, Flair should have been disqualified for pushing over Randy, Flair
yet again should have been disqualified for using his shoe and it softly
hitting Arn, Randy does have a plausible excuse he was busy backing up Flair
preventing him from attacking even though he is a participant in this match and
yes he did see the shoe, Randy yet again takes his eye off the ball and focuses
on the situation outside of the ring between Brian and Flair, I have a feeling
Randy may have gotten confused who was the legal man between Arn and Brian so
he indicates a free tag of sorts [when you see Arm and Brian switching between
legal and illegal positions without tagging this is what I mean and yes it is
done in front of Randy.] Yes I have indicated the match outlay was good but it
didn't need so much from Randy
At some point as I have already referenced; Heenan for one example in a
nutshell sends one of his people to the back to find what has happened to
Flair, because he didn't come out when he should have due to this ongoing
situation throughout this pay-per-view at this point, Flair races down to the
ring as I have already shown sometime later Heenan's people or a person comes
back and says they couldn't find Flair obviously Heenan is not amused by this.
Basic Result: Draw; this is one of those rare occasions where if or when or you have
seen this match without giving too much away, to cover my back I have just
chosen the result which is best suited without giving too much away.
Basic walk-through of this event: I
am not being disrespectful but I am just saying you have roughly 11 minutes
before the next match so if you want to go and make yourself comfortable grab
some refreshments now would be a good time.

* "Mean"Gene Okerlund: Opinions/ Promotes/Iterviewer: shares
his opinion on what is still going on behind him on this big screen at the top

personnel such as Road Warrior Hawk and Mike Tenay [they appear on screen
taking phone calls] and then grabs a word with the newly reformed The Four
Horsemen; Flair, Anderson & Brian.

* Video Package: of how we came to be here; this video package is highly
creative produced it incorporates everything you need to know in a storyteller
format with this mystical window approach mostly been used with voice over -
this is where the simulation of neck breaking is and it also includes the
second match/our main event Giant vs. Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight
Championship

very much an expert when it comes to Monster Trucks] & Bobby "The
Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel": Commentary talking about and seeing live
footage from where the Sumo Monster Truck Match is going to take place on top
of the roof of Cobo Hall we cross live to see this individual laying out the
rules to Hogan and The Giant obviously there are some other personal around to
simulate there is friction here
