SUMMARY: APPROX. RUNNING TIME: 14:10 Min.
Taped at The Civic Center, in Dothan, Alabama, on January 28, 1991, this match subsequently aired on the syndicated WCW WorldWide TV series on March 2, 1991. On one side is the Four Horsemen’s maniacal Sid Vicious, who has gleefully been sending defenseless jobbers (preliminary competition) out on stretchers, supposedly for weeks. Facing Vicious is the four-time NWA/WCW U.S. Champion, “The Total Package” Lex Luger, who, by comparison, is a WCW ‘super-hero.’
Ringside commentators Tony Schiavone and Gordon Solie are skeptical that Luger will succumb to such sadistic bullying from Vicious.
REVIEW:
Despite the spotty backstage reputations of the two players involved, this brawl between WCW’s two biggest musclemen is still enjoyable. Specifically, to their joint credit, neither one appears to be sleepwalking through their choreography.
While the match is indeed routine down to the count-out finish, one receives a mildly amusing twist at the end. This archived WCW TV bout, suffice to say, is worth at least one viewing.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5 Stars
