Recommend Watch: 5/10

Match Total: 34/60 - this match/match slot is mixed.

Comments: I don't have too much to say about this match slot other than; it does what it is meant to do, by protecting both competitors in one way or another, so I get it; you know as wrestling fans we get things, so it makes sense to do it this way. But as a standalone section of this pay-per-view this marking is a fair representation of doing things this way and then; yes it does what it is meant to do, it keeps everyone involved protected, but the consequences of this is; it just isn't that exciting.

Basic Result: the WCW Heavyweight World Champion “Macho Man" Randy Savage picks up the victory to make it World Championship Wrestling 3 New Japan Pro Wrestling 3.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel: Commentary talk about what they have just seen with  “Macho Man" Randy Savage's theme music  "Ooooooh Yeeaah!"

* Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel," Tony Schiavone & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes: Commentary appearing on-screen to talk about how things are now [excellent comedy to be had in this scene]

* "Mean" Gene Okerlund: Interviewer he also finds this scene to be comical and move on to advertising the WCW Hotline, highlights the score of this World Cup of wrestling and then brings in at this time; "The Four Horsemen's "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair; Flair briefly puts over this World Cup competition and then swiftly moved on to his match tonight in a triple threat with Lugar vs. Sting

* Tony Schiavone: Commentary brings up what we have just found out about from Flair.

* 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.

* Schiavone & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes: Commentary made reference to the history between these next two competitors for the final of the World Cup of Wrestling the WCW US Heavyweight Champion Kensuke Sasaki and Sting with "The American Dream" making some comments about this situation.
