WCW Monday Nitro Season 1, Episode 12: Countdown to World War 3 20/11/1995 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: flashing effects/colourful effects/fire

Commentary Award goes to: Eric Bischoff for advertising the WCW Hotline with Tenay that includes the recent pay-per-view results and a wrestler that doesn't work for WCW any more as of today and on top of that Bischoff makes reference to the other place [WWF/E in one way or another, he does make one direct reference to this wrestling company, but it has been slightly taken now, meaning you think they have left it in but in the last bit saying the F has been removed for obvious reasons and playing devil’s advocate as it relates to the upcoming pay-per-view of WCW World War 3.

Wrestling Award goes to: Eddie Guerrero vs. The Four Horsemen's Flyin' Brian [with "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair – he is not here for this match/match slot:] Singles Match; where as you come to expect from a Guerrero match, he delivers a quality match with Brian. Sting vs. Hulk Hogan [with "The Macho Man" Randy Savage:] Singles Match, where we get to see you Hogan actually integrates some of his wrestling move set from his time in Japan. Now I should provide you with some background details, it has recently come to my attention over the past couple of years that the Hogan most of us saw and experienced as a wrestler had predominately a basic move set. But when Hogan went to Japan his move set was wider than you think and I only know this because I have seen clips of it on twitter at one point or another and that is what you get a little bit of a taste in this match/match slot he goes in for wrestling moves for an example a drop toe, I know this is a much but considering who I am talking about this is a big thing amongst his usual wrestling and puts in a good wrestling performance and not forgetting the surrounding goings-on around this match slot.

Promo Award goes to: "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart & The Dungeon of Doom's “The Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan; the viewers get one of those heel yet truthful promos from Hart how he sees it [I was just thinking I would cover my back here,] as he is talking about Sting, Hogan, Savage and Baywatch [including some footage of Hogan, Savage and Baywatch over the top of this promo, then we would turn to Nitro.] Sullivan; in a nutshell advertises WCW World War 3 the main event where we have 60 men wanting to get their hands on the vacant WCW World Heavyweight Championship, amongst this Sullivan makes reference to Hart being his only manager in his career and Hogan.

Later on

The Four Horsemen's "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair pulls out of a match with Eddie Guerrero and instead allows another member of The Four Horsemen Flyin' Brian to in short take care of business.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; on one hand this episode has some sections to it, whilst on the other hand it sets things up nicely for us to head into WCW World War 3 1995, which is our next port of call.
