WCW US Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair vs Eddie Guerrero - WCW Hog Wild 1996 Two big names like this on paper, but never any talk about it, is not a very good sign. I would say this match is definitely good albeit disappointing. I have seen their Nitro match at least twice but I cant really remember much about it. Flair is coming off the piping hot Booty Man angle where the Horsemen get revenge for the backlot attack on Double A by taking out Hogan's bestie, Brutus Beefcake. One of the all-time best angles ever! I saw it for the first time last night and it was so fucking compelling. I forgot how amazing pro wrestling could be. That was terrific. Not too much build to…

WCW Cruiserweight Champion Rey Misterio Jr. vs Ultimo Dragon - WCW Hog Wild 1996 I loved the Misterio/Dragon matches when I got the Rey set, but they just have not aged well for me personally. Dragon was just stalling and being generally awkward through this match. I just don't think he was suited for the American environment. Whereas in his third PPV match, Rey already showed how much he got by inciting USA chants. He understood the flow and psychology of American wrestling better than pretty much an cruiserweight they brought at this time. Their opening sequence is just the worst of the New Japan juniors as it is totally perfunctory. Once we get the Dragon kicks, th…

It’s a beautiful day for a fun shoot-inspired pro-wrestling bout between two equally matched friends/rivals. There was a lot of back-and-forth on the mat, until Sakuraba decides to German suplex Kaki but when he gets greedy, Kaki takes him down with the Fujiwara armbar. Kakihara’s FINALLY able to connect with his big spinning heel kick, following it up with a high kick and a slough of palm strikes. He delivers an awesome suplex throw but Sakuraba immediately grabs an arm upon impact, trying to work his way down into an ankle hold. The finish was pretty cool, with Kaki coming at him with a combo of strikes and a suplex to set up the sleeper but in a terrific counter, Sakur…
