WCW Monday Nitro Season 1, Episode 14: Sir Charles 04/12/1995 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: flashing effects/colourful effects/fire

Commentary Award goes to: Eric Bischoff for being informative about certain wrestlers being put on probation after the WCW Executive Committee/others as you try and get control after last week's actions as of previous episode I will namedrop just one name Hulk Hogan, we also have references to the other wrestling promotion better known as the WWF/WWE, but you will have to read between the lines; for an example here is a rough transcript I tried to get it completely down, but I like to give myself a small window of error "I warn you, stay with us we are not leaving. Hey and 10 o'clock straight up, this isn't any kind of cable show like that other stuff. If we go along go along, stay with us we're gonna bring you all the action and the C stands for commitment." I should just point out the C he is making reference to having an educated guess is in the initials WCW which as everyone should know actually stands for World Championship Wrestling.

Wrestling Award goes to: "Dungeon of Doom's" "The Total Package" Lex Lugar [with "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart] vs. the WCW World Champion "Macho Man" Randy Savage; Singles Match for the WCW World Championship; which also has massive implications to the upcoming pay-per-view Starrcade '95: World Cup of Wrestling ; the winner gets to defend their championship at this event, meanwhile the loser gets to go into a Triple Threat No1 Contenders Match to compete again for this championship at this event; they really did give this match the time and level of a pay-per-view match and not being disrespectful but not a TV match even you can have guessed on what type of outlay/outcome these here. Which I am not criticising or unhappy with; because this place was loud and they went with storyline progression.

Promo Award goes to: [just away from the entrance ramp] "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Sting and "The Total Package" Lex Lugar as they talk about Starrcade '95 and their involvement in the Triple Threat Match at this event including "The Four Horsemen" "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair [now I should very quickly point out this is before the main event of the night's show so I have given nothing away] and they are just straight with one another. I have to say I do find it funny when this segment ends Sting goes slightly back up the ramp to then turn around and begin his entrance for this match is right now, it has a very small presentation of I have just remembered I am meant to be wrestling next. But I am sure he knows he is wrestling next am just saying it is slightly comical as it gives off the impression of what I have just illustrated.

Later

[In the ring] "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Sting, Hogan and the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Savage having this heated discussion about this on going situation with Lugar

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good: it does have good stuff in it, but I think you know what I'm going to say; this main event is this episode and the surrounding sediments as well. I am beginning to remember how good this promotion was back in the day; I know, I know it doesn't last forever. But for now let me just have it for now.
