Pay-Per-View Rewind of: Starrcade '95: World Cup of Wrestling 27/12/1995 Match 4 Part 4 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: Starrcade '95: World Cup of Wrestling 27/12/1995 Match 4 Part 4 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning/Speculation: flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/outdated sexist comments/choking/racist comment. Later on I will be speculating, but as you will see/read my point is potentially valid.

Match/Stipulations: Representing WCW: the WCW United States Heavyweight Champion Johnny B. Badd [with Kimberly The Diamond Dull] vs. Representing: NJPW: "Mr. Torture" Masa Saito [with Sonny Onoo:] World Cup of Wrestling [Best of 7; All 7 will be competed for] Singles Match

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 3/10

Match Slot Storyline: 3/10

Crowd Participation: 6/10

On Commentary: Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel," Tony Schiavone & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes 7/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 1/10

Recommend Watch: 1/10

Match Total: 21/60 - this match/match slot is poor

Comments: we are now getting the scoreboard on screen, Heenan makes a mistake on commentary calling Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pitman, Sgt. Pillman, Schiavone picks up on this and Heenan gives us this; you know who I mean thing. I completely agree with The American Dream when in short he calls out the referee [Nick Patrick] for being out the position on a pin-fall and I have more to say about this match slot momentarily.

Basic Result: the WCW United States Heavyweight Champion Johnny B. Badd [with Kimberly The Diamond Dull] picks up the victory to make it World Championship Wrestling 2 New Japan Pro Wrestling 2. Now speculation, because I have no proof of this and this is just my opinion also, the way that things go down here; I have a feeling that no one wanted to actually take the loss, because and I know I don't usually give all this away, I liked to have some wiggle room so I don't give everything away. But in this rare case you will see why; they activate a very rare rule that I didn't know existed until I began to watch old wrestling, I think I have only seen this being used maybe twice and it is the rule that says " participants cannot go over the top rope or the instigator gets disqualified or something to that effect." No surprise here, but I don't particularly like this rule/claws, because it is so lame, here is a great idea if you can't book a solid conclusion to match slot don't book it; I mean they could have the losing party be accidentally counted out that would have still achieved the outcome they wanted, they could have gone with beating the hell out of one another and at the last second Badd makes it back in.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Tony Schiavone, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel: Commentary talk about what they have just seen with Johnny B. Badd theme music "Don't Mess With Johnny B. Badd" (With Tron) with  Badd and Diamond Dull standing in the ring coming up the camera and basically saying we aren't done yet and showing support for Eddie Guerrero and Sting.

* Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel," Tony Schiavone & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes: Commentary appearing on-screen to talk about how things are now including Schiavone advertising/with a commercial coming on stream as well of the next pay-per-view would would be WCW SuperBrawl 96' 11/02/1996; our commentary team appear on-screen again, Schiavone to send us to

* "Mean" Gene Okerlund: Interviewer interviews to interview “The Dungeon of Doom” "The Total Package" Lex Luger [with "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart] about how things are standing in this Wrestling World Cup, The Dungeon of Doom and The Four Horsemen and the Triangle Match with himself [Lugar,] The Four Horsemen' Ric Flair and his good friend Sting, the WCW Heavyweight Champion "Macho Man" Randy Savage and in short Lugar tells Hart he is doing this on his own tonight which Hart responds I am paraphrasing here okay just bring it home tonight.

* Tony Schiavone: Commentary brings up what we have just found out about Lugar doing things on his own tonight.

* Dave Penzer: Ring Announcer [graphic of this match; on-screen, but medium-size and sliding down the screen like a water park slide] saying stipulations and competitors.

* Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel": makes a racist comment relating to Guerrero and Taco Bell

* Up-to-date scoreboard appears on-screen
