SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 14:13 Min.
From Atlanta’s Center Stage facility on December 14, 1991, this bout is the main event for a WCW Saturday Night TV taping. WCW World Tag Team Champion Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat returns to singles action against The Dangerous Alliance’s “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton, whose unscrupulous ringside associate is Madusa.
Cameo appearances include “Stunning” Steve Austin and Barry Windham. WCW’s sole ringside commentator is Jim Ross.
REVIEW:
Despite lacking the charismatic star power of Randy Savage or Ric Flair, Bobby Eaton (best known for The Midnight Express) is a versatile and ever-nimble foe. It isn’t a surprise that he can readily keep up with Ricky Steamboat’s high-octane athleticism.
In a battle of wily and agile veterans, Steamboat and the underrated Eaton, suffice to say, counter one another move-for-move. The match’s winner won’t be a surprise, but neither guy phones in his effort. Although formulaic, this entertaining Steamboat/Eaton showdown does not disappoint viewers.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7 Stars
