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.
