Lynch watches WCW 1995 - 2001

[lynchmob]

So I decided I needed a hobby when I wasn't writing for Lynch. I never watched WCW. I never got into wrestling until about 2003/4 and I had no clue there was anyone else, but WWE. I don't really remember kids at school talking about wrestling that wasn't WWF/E. No one I knew really watched WCW, not even my siblings. So needless to say, this will be a trip for me. I'm excited that I managed to find EVERY Nitro. I know things from here and there from Botchamanias or other videos, but pretty much, I'm going in blind. So you'll get to join me as I see WCW rival WWF and then die horribly.

I should also note that unless I can get my hands on each Thunder (which didn't air until 1998, so we're good), Saturday Night, and Main Event; I won't be able to cover them. And today I watched some of PWG TEN before watching this, so my in-ring judgement will be insanely high. I hope to have fun as we start in 1995. What a year. To put this in retrospect, Tupac and Biggie are still alive in 1995.

First show coming up!

WCW Monday Nitro - Sep 4th, 1995

- AWW SHITTT! BACK TO THE FUTURE OPENING! I actually got goosebumps tbh. We're nerds.

- The first WCW show was held in the Mall of America. A mall. In Minnesota. Think about that. Eric Bischoff and MONGO! Open up the show with THE BRAIN! Mongo sounds like a mix of Paul Bearer, Dusty Rhodes, and someone with down syndrome. We got a night of action or something something Eric Bischoff TNA

- Jushin Liger and Brian Pillman is the first match in televised WCW history. Apparently Pillman was out for a year with a broken leg. Yikes. Whoa the announcers are calling actual wrestling moves. Slow down there. Brain Pillman won by a switch into a pin. Like a package pin. I have no idea what it's called. Pillman botched a few times, but other than that, it was a good match.

- Surfer Sting cuts on Ric. NOBODY CAN HOOK THE SCORPION DEATH LOCK ON BETTER THAN YOURS TRULY! I would hope not, Sting, since it's named after you. also Slim Jim

- WCW Hotline?! MEAN GENE TELL ME THE NUMBER! 1-900-909-9900! GET YOUR PARENTS' PERMISSION

- Batman Forever on SNES commercial. Big A: Auto Parts. Uh what. Drench her soul. Fragrance for men. 1995 was weird.

- Hulk Hogan brother! Eric Bischoff is interviewing PastaMania, Hulk Hogan. Eric Bischoff was going for a high five and Hogan completely ignored him. Hey! Jimmy Hart! The WCW Heavyweight Title is on the line against someone? Big Bubba? I don't have a clue. PastaManiacs. Please stop Hogan. The kids were really hyped then at the end they were like "Shut up Hogan."

- Next is a WCW United States match. Nature Boy Ric Flair and US Champ, Sting! I wish Surfer Sting in all purple and pink would make a return on TNA. WHOA! LEX LUGER?! GET THE CAMERA OFF OF HIM! Sting no-selling like Hogan, nice. THIS IS WHERE THE BIG BOYS PLAY! ARN ANDERSON?! I think the match is ruled a no contest because Anderson steps into the ring. It was a good match too btw. HE IS ATTACKING FLAIR! I THOUGHT THEY PATCHED THINGS UP! Who the hell is this...a Bushwacker? Oh, Scott Norton. MACHO MAN! IT'S MACHO MAN BROTHER! "HOW BOUT THE MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE...IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YA?! DIG IT!" Dude goosebumps wtf 1995.

- Sabu video package. Did they include Sabu botching a leg drop in this? And they showed a table not breaking. God bless Sabu

- "Mean" Gene tells us who won the Harley Davidson Sweepstakes. A 1995 Harley Davidson, don't care!

- Mr. Wallstreet aka IRS promo for his upcoming debut. I think he'll rock WCW and become World Heavyweight Champion in no time. Oh shit. "I'm sure the IRS is gonna be watching me real close." #shotsfired. MICHAEL WALLSTREET!

- SNAP INTO A BEEFY, SPICY SLIM JIM OH YEAHHHH! RIP Macho Man. HOT POCKETS AND LEAN POCKETS AND 66% LESS FAT TOOTSIE ROLLS!

- Big Bubba Rodgers, who you may ask? BIG BOSS MAN! HE'S AN AMERICANNNNNNNNN MAN! It's Hulk Hogan! I'M MARKING OUT BROTHER! I'VE GOT GOOSEBUMPS! IT'S HULK FUCKIN' HOGAN! WHO WAS GREATER THAN HULK HOGAN?! NO ONE! I AM HYPED AS FUCK! IT'S HULK HOGAN BROTHERRRRRRR! HULK HOGAN! CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE IT?! I'M HYPED, BROTHER

- I've never been so happy to see Hogan. So Big Bubba Rodgers and Hulk Hogan going one on one. But wait the lights are flickering and there's some whistle. I've never noticed how bald Hogan is. HOGAN IS HULKING UP! BIG BOOT! LEG DROP! Hogan wins by the AMERICAN LEG DROP! The crowd is going absolutely nuts. It's like Jesus himself just stepped into the ring.

- Only 3 matches on Monday Night TV? WCW was way ahead of RAW

- WAIT THREE GUYS INTO THE RING! THE DUNGEON OF DOOM! LEX LUGER IS HELPING HOGAN! THEY ALMOST PUNCHED EACH OTHER! WORLD WAR 3! WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?! STING AND SAVAGE ARE PULLING THE TWO MEN APART! "THERE WILL BE SOME REPERCUSSIONS COME FROM THIS" - MONGO

- WCW Presents Fall Brawl: War Games! What a PPV clusterfuck this will be. NFL ON TNT! God, that's old. lol Eagles vs. Cardinals like it'll be great. The US ARMY being sponsored by WCW.

- "Mean" Gene is now in the ring with Luger and Hogan. Hogan is asking why Luger is here and Luger WANTS THAT BELT! THAT'S WHY HE'S HERE! That mullet is pretty sick. HOGAN IS GONNA STAY CHAMPION FOR FOREVER AND A DAY! HOGAN IS PUTTING THE TITLE ON THE LINE NEXT MONDAY AND LEX SHOOK HIS HAND! Next Monday Nitro we will see Hulk Hogan (c) vs. Lex Luger for the WCW Heavyweight Championship

- HAVE A GREAT ONE GUYS!

- wtf. Can someone explain THIS to me?



- where did he get that dog? oh he stole it from the dungeon of doom.

- SEE YOU NEXT POST WHEN HOGAN MEETS LUGER!

And I couldn't find the results for Saturday Night. WHY COULDN'T THE INTERNET HAVE BEEN MORE ADVANCED IN THE 90s?!
