- I was completely disapointed with Starcade 92. After the HH flop and
- a simular flop at the Clash, I had thought that Cowpie would have gotten the
- message. IMHO Starcade 92 was better than the previous two, but lacked what
- was needed to push WCW back where it was when the Crocketts were running the
- show. The non switching of any of the titles just wasn't what was needed.
- Chono could have kepted his title and even Simmons could have retained due
- to a last minute replacement by Dr Death. The Chono match was good but, Dr
- Death did a sh*ty job jobbing. His moves were good when on the offensive,
- yet lacked to much when tring jobber moves. This could have been booked
- better.
- I still think that Steamboat & Douglas should have dropped the belts
- to add some credability to the show. This would have helped pushed the
- rematch at Super Brawl. The only good match seamed to be the King of Cable.
- Some of the people I know thought that Watts would have Vader win it. It
- could have gone either way. It did set up Sting for a successful second
- Battle Bowl victory and I'm glad to see it didn't happen. But I think
- BW should have won it. I guess JAPAN decided they wanted this match in
- exchange for letting Muta and Chono on the card.
- I wonder if at Super Brawl, Rude will get his shot at Simmons or
- Chono? It's rummered that the match with Chono is in the works.
- Unfortunately I'm unable to get this comfirmed. There is also talk about
- BW teaming with Spivey and getting the Tag belts. Also unconfirmed. I'll
- know more after the 1st on these subjects.
- As posted before, most of the prelim, quarter final & semi-final
- matches for the US title have taken place. From what I know/heard, the final
- four are BW, Steamboat, Dustin and Watts from unconfirmed sources. I do know
- that the BW - Dustin fued is to heat up and be a major match in this tourney.
- Lets hope that Super Brawl is twice as goo as Starcade. It may be
- the only way for Watts to save his job. Hey Turner, Turn up the heat!
-
- just a little to get by on.
