For the second straight night, we’ve got (nearly) immediate coverage of the ROH shows taped in Philadelphia and set to air in July. [SPOILERS] [Technical note - John maxed out the microphone when he was talking, so there is a fairly annoying buzz whenever he talks…5/31 Update - It’s far from perfect, but this is [...]

Nitro Diaries: Match # 34

Thursday, May 28, 2009

0 Comments

Match # 34: The Steiner Brothers vs. Sting and Lex Luger (Nitro 6/3/96) I’m assuming this is babyface vs babyface. It’s also the last feud they would all have before the NOW years, so I guess I should enjoy the last gasp of the Steiners or the old Stinger. I’m skeptical, but then Scott Steiner and [...]

Nitro Diaries: Match # 33

Match # 33: Ric Flair and Arn Anderson vs. the Rock ‘n Roll Express (Nitro 6/3/96) The RNR look old coming out. Flair is animated as hell and Arn looks bad ass. They wear NFL jerseys and taunt Kevin Greene and Mongo McMichael. A dynamite graphic is set to explode to get us into the second [...]

Nitro Diaries: Match # 32

Match # 32: Scott Steiner vs. Sting (Nitro 5/27/96) This match has the distinction of taking place on the night Scott Hall walked out on Nitro and started what became the NOW angle. It’s mentioned in passing at the beginning. Here we have two pure WCW created talents going at it, and I’m expecting Scott Steiner [...]

Nitro Diaries: Match # 31

Match # 31: Ric Flair vs. Eddie Guerrero (Nitro 5/20/96) I believe I saw this match up in the late years of Ric Flair’s WWE career. It was the ball shot watered down Flair who could still get over but was nearing sixty. Unfortunately, Guerrero was nearing the end of his run on earth. This match [...]

Nitro Diaries: Match # 30

Sunday, May 24, 2009

Match # 30: Lex Luger vs. The Giant (Nitro 5/13/96) The Giant is dominant monster heel champ at this point having killed Ric Flair for the belt. The future Big Show is in great shape too. Luger is just Luger. Who knows or cares if he’s a good guy or a bad guy in the current [...]

Brian Streleckis has had plenty of BBQ already, so he celebrates Memorial Day weekend with the second half of Chikara’s anniversary weekend in Philadelphia, capped off with one of the best Chikara matches of the year.

Nitro Diaries: Match # 29

Saturday, May 23, 2009

Match # 29: Sting vs. Steven Regal (Nitro 5/6/96) Sting always had the benefit of getting great workers to have matches with on Nitro (at least, this set makes me feel stronger in that opinion). Regal really was a talented versatile guy that never got his due until a second WWE run. I’ve seen his early [...]

Nitro Diaries: Match # 28

Match # 28: Dean Malenko vs. Jushin Liger (Nitro 5/6/96) This should be fun. Liger hasn’t gotten his due from me as a fan in almost a decade. In tape collecting his body of work slipped through the cracks because I was always a bigger All Japan heavys mark, and when it came to Super Juniors [...]

Nitro Diaries: Match # 27

Friday, May 22, 2009

Match # 27: Ric Flair vs. The Giant (Nitro 4/29/96) Here’s the title change that I remember, making the Giant a very younger champion not only by age, but by experience in wrestling. He was pretty phenomenal in his younger days, and every once in a while shows that spark as The Big Show.

Nitro Diaries: Match # 26

Match # 26: Steve Regal vs. Fit Finlay (Parking Lot Brawl)(Nitro 4/29/96) Not too much to say about this one. I would have much rather seen these guys wrestle under World of Sport rules, or even given 12 minutes in the middle of Nitro, but a brawl is fine too. And this is an amazingly well [...]

For our latest DVD review, we check out Motor City Madness 2009 (not 2007) and dissect some notable flaws in the booking along with a solid night of in-ring action, including two title contenders at their best. And while Austin Aries may not like this show’s intro music, he’s sure to like our meter [...]

Nitro Diaries: Match # 25

Match # 25: Sting/Lex Luger vs. Ric Flair/The Giant (Nitro 4/15/96) I have no idea why Flair and the Giant made friends after their match (Match # 23). I guess there just that much of bad guys. Sting and Luger are always friends no matter what. I’m not expecting to much out of this, aging Flair [...]
