WCW Monday Nitro Season 1, Episode 8: Insurance Policy 23/10/1995 by AverageMansReviews

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

Commentary Award goes to: all of the commentary team working individually or together; paraphrasing Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Weasel" doing his usual masterful work at being on commentary Eric Bischoff; making reference to the fact that the challenger and champion are both here tonight without any restrictions, Bischoff and Steve "Mongo" McMichael [Pepe the Chihuahua;] advertising the WCW Hotline and making reference to the WWF/E In Your House pay-per-view.

Wrestling Award goes to: I will be a bit more general, not out of laziness but just based on I would be discussing the whole wrestling matches on its programming tonight; so to start we have; " Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Kurasawa [with Col. Parker:] Singles Match; basically this is how you keep both wrestlers looking strong with also getting a result, "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit & "The Iceman" Dean Malenko vs. Mr. J. L. & Eddie Guerrero [with Alex Wright "Das Wunderkind" it was apparently meant to be Guerrero & Wright, but as you will clearly injured:] Tag Team match; and its surrounding content. Yes this match is everything you expect it to be and Harlem Heat: Stevie Ray & Booker T. [with Sister Sherry] vs. the WCW Heavyweight Champion Sting & "The Total Package" Lex Luther: Tag Team Match; and it surrounding content; this is one of the main event where it sets things up for Sunday and Halloween Havoc 1995.

Promo Award goes to: likewise I will be general based on the same reasons as the wrestling with; we have a Dungeon of Doom segment involving The Master, The Yeti [dormant in an iceberg,] "Mean"Gene Okerlund interviews  The Dungeon Of Doom's The Giant [with The Taskmaster Kevin Sullivan] and after the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan [with "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart;] both segments revolve around this upcoming Sunday pay-per-view WCW Halloween Havoc including Hogan laying down the challenge to the WCW United States Heavyweights Champion Sting or Savage or "The Total Package" Lex Luther; to take on Hogan for his championship.

Debut Award goes to: The Yeti; I have very a niche reason why I have awarded this award. If you have ever seen the animated TV movie of Inhumanoids 1986; specifically when Decompose begins to break free out of this iceberg, that essentially what we have here.

This episode receives:  10/10, this episode is lots of fun; it sets things up nicely for this Sunday's pay-per-view WCW Halloween Havoc 1995; which if you have forgotten I did say I would move on to the next.
