January 4, 201510 yr comment_5648155 Not a full on upset, but I watched Brad Armstrong go to a time limit draw against Jushin Liger on an episode of Saturday Night from 1992 recently.As an addendum to this, I've just seen Armstrong beat Liger clean with the Russian leg sweep on the 5.27.96 episode of WCW Prime. Was Prime just a highlight show or did it have exclusive matches? Primarily it was just a repeat of matches that aired on either Pro or Worldwide, although there were one or two exclusives each week (like with Main Event). Yup, it's the same match Butch.
January 6, 201510 yr comment_5648301 Which upset? Taker/Lesnar at mania or the HIAC match in 2003? Hated the Mania match because Brock didnt deserve or need the win. They should have saved it for someone who actually deserved it. Never really got why they just give Brock everything after he pissed them off when he quit because he didnt care about all the sacrifices people made to make him a star. In a way im glad Austin refused. Brock did need that win vs. Taker at mania. If he loses there, then he's lost to Cena, HHH (meaningless tie-breaker aside), and Taker. He would have beaten CM Punk, who lost to everyone.

Was watching a episode of main Event and noticed it cut off half way through and according to someones list it was missing Alex Wright vs Jean Paul Levesque. Didnt think much of it till I wanted to watch their Starrcade match on youtube and noticed the main Event match was on there so wondered if this match aired on another show that used to show matches from other shows of the week.

Levesque had already quit WCW by the time Prime debuted (Feb '95) so it wouldn't have been repeated on there (if it's repeated at all).
January 7, 201510 yr comment_5648537 I feel like they taped ahead pretty far for Prime most of the time. I vaguely remember an episode post Uncensored with a Dustin squash and some awkward announcing.
January 7, 201510 yr comment_5648557 Assuming Leveque did the job it would also hardly be above WCW to show an old match of his, once it was known he was WWF-bound.
January 8, 201510 yr comment_5648676 Assuming Leveque did the job it would also hardly be above WCW to show an old match of his, once it was known he was WWF-bound. He was still with WCW in January 1995 I think which is when it was broadcast.
January 17, 201510 yr comment_5649855 For me it was watching Ricky Steamboat go over Ric Flair in June of 1977 at WRAL Studios in Raleigh, NC. Steamboat was a made man at that point. I didn't expect it. In reality it's gotta be Koloff beating Sammartino though.
January 18, 201510 yr comment_5649913 Ive not seen that match myself alough someone who recommends any Steamboat/Flair match is good. Enjoyed their battles over the belt in the late 80s/early 90s.
