We are getting closer to the moment. -
Test is systematically defeating each member of the Posse and is paving the way where he can attack Shane. Good work and he made his offense look impressive here. *1/2

Rock throws out the first pitch at Three Rivers ballpark in Pittsburgh.

D-Lo is able to resist the puppies. Say what you will about Godfathers IC title reigns but D-Lo isnt much better in retrospect.

Would like to see what you think of Hase vs. Muto from September 1993, pretty stark difference to the 12/92 match.

A straight spectacle type match but one done extremely well. Hashimoto is a monster in this and shows how Muta could have a chance against the bigger man by taking some chances and paying dearly for them. The spin kick to the outside that misses still looks amazing. Afterwards, we get some weapon usage that gives the match a distinctive and hate filled feeling that was uncommon for New Japan heavies at the time. Kudos to Hashimoto. ****

I liked this as a booking piece of work and something that could have been done really hokey and lame but kept it all together. Certainly blood and perhaps overall hate could have helped things. We didn't see any viciousness from nash that he displayed in the match vs. Shawn for example and that would have been welcome in this type of environment. Sting seems justified for what he did and WCW has to be left searching for answers and the power of the NWO. A very unorthodox War Games that is a good match, but one nonetheless. ***1/4

I like Takada more than some around here and even then he showed me a good bit in this match. It again starts off with a slow burn but just builds and builds to a fitting climax that felt draining to the viewer. It was nice to see the matchup between these two as while it isn't a pairing I would really be clamoring for, I am glad we at least got it with both men being athletic enough to still deliver an engaging contest. ****

Good documentary style that seemed ahead of its time in 1996. There was of course some usual funny carny bits from the ECW guys but this was presented well enough and in a measured light that the Journal was able to get across their point without seeming biased and let the viewer come to their own conclusion.

With the rain and everything this was perfect. The way it was filmed was a rare bit of genius by WCW production as it is really tough to distinguish that this is not the real Sting. WCW was so great at this point and the paranoia is running wild for the viewer going through all of this stuff.
