and sexist comments
Commentary Award goes to: Eric Bischoff for being the linchpin throughout this
episode, questioning the relationship between Sting & "The Total
Package" Lex Lugar and towards the very closing stages of this episode he
quickly mentions WCW Starrcade '95 [after I have finished my previous
pay-per-view.]
Wrestling Award goes to: rematch from last night's pay-per-view WCW World War 3
1995 [JPW Group] Mayumi Ozaki & Cutie Suzuki vs. [All-Japan Women] Bull
Nakano & Akira Hokuto [with Sonny Onoo:] Inter-Promotional Women's Tag Team
Match: let's put it this way and this is completely based on speculation, but
it wouldn't surprise me if they got hold you have this amount of time to work
with. So in turn these four wrestlers just went with; okay let's just go with a
similar match/match slot like we did last night and fitted around the TV time
we have.
Promo Award goes to: "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews the new WCW
World Heavyweight Champion "Macho
Man" Randy Savage [there are other wrestlers involved in this segment] but
the controversy of last night, but for a little bit more, I will just namedrop
one wrestler here Hulk Hogan] substance there is a blooper/a bit of comedy here
where Okerlund says essentially he would like to shake his hand so Okerlund
puts out his hand but for some strange reason Savage just leaves him hanging
there, to the point where it translates as being awkward, so Okerlund after
some time just goes in to give him a brief handshake
Thumbs Down Award goes to: rematch match from last night's pay-per-view Diamond
Dallas Page vs. the WCW World Television Champion Johnny B. Badd [with the
Dimond Doll] Singles Match for the WCW World Television Championship: without
giving too much away I know, I know I am very much aware that this match slot
was about storyline progression and nothing else [in a nutshell; the match slot
is shot from the Doll, so basically the wrestling is in the close background]
which I am absolutely fine with. The fact in the replay they took a different
perspective so the wrestling came first, so I am thinking okay why didn't you
rotate between ongoing situation with Doll and rotate between her and the
wrestling? So it is due to the camera positioning which I should very quickly
add I am blaming the people that didn't rotate between different camera angles
and not the camera people operating the cameras is to why this match/match slot
is here and for those very observant people, yes if I didn't see things from
any other prospective this match slot wouldn't be here.
This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; when or if you come to
watch this episode, hopefully you will come to understand and I mean that in
the most nicest way that this is one of those occasions where even a 7 feels
and looks a bit low and it has a very good thing that I haven't found or I
don't want to start using a points system like for an example 7.5 or it would
give me a headache, I know there is some websites out there that use this point
system but it is an overview perspective not in this case is a specific
episode.
