Leighty’s Retro Review: WCW SuperBrawl II

-WCWs first PPV offering of 1992 as we are in the middle of The Dangerous Alliance run.

Lex Luger has taken a back seat to that angle for a few reasons.

One being The DA feud is just that awesome, and two, Lugers contract is running out and hes been saved for certain dates because much like John Cena today, he only had some many dates left on his deal.

29, 1992 -Attendance: 5000 -PPV Buys: 160,000 -Fun moment in the opening with Ross and Ventura as Jesse tells Ross he would look like JR Ewing if he was wearing a cowboy hat.

The match just flies by and the crowd eats up everything they are doing by the end.

*** -Abdullah The Butcher is out and he decks Ron with a kendo stick.

Jack lays in the boots and they pay off the JYD appearance as he heads into the ring to make the save, after taking out security.

Minnesota who switched to wrestling because we know there aint no money in body building.

Hammer with a Gorilla Press Slam on Morton and he stomps his feet to get the crowd going again.

Winner: Van Hammer and Z-Man via pin at 12:03 -Fun tag match with everyone being motivated here.

It was kind of cool to see Hammer playing the Morton role while building to a Z-Man hot tag.

You would think Z-Man getting beat down and making the hot tag to Hammer would be the way to go, but this worked.

I can also see why Shawn saw Vegas and was entertained.

Its kind of a one note gimmick but Nash ran with it and got to show personality.

Doing all these shows, I have enjoyed finding these hidden gem tag matches with thrown together teams.

WCW World Tag Team Titles: Arn Anderson (c) and Bobby Eaton (c) (w/ Paul E Dangerously) vs.

The Steiner Brothers -Just before the match starts, it is announced by Paul is banned for ringside and he doesnt take it well.

Paul gets dragged way yelling and I assume he is screaming to Rick that he will make sure his son is a big star in the WWE one day.

Dangerously gets thrown out by the ref before the opening bell, but Madusa gets to stay.

Winners and Still WCW Tag Team Champions: Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton via DQ at 20:05 -No clue why they didnt change the titles here considering they did it a few weeks later, but whatever.

Match was technically solid, but I found it boring and too long for that ending.

The Steiners dominated this one and had brief periods where Eaton and Anderson were in charge.

I think that should have had a buffer between these last two tag matches.

His reaction to being found out is pretty funny! WCW World Heavyweight Championship: Lex Luger (c) (w/ Harley Race) vs.

Sting -Last time for Lugers SLAPPER of a theme song! Ross wants to know how someone bulks up like Luger did in 30 days.

What are you implying Jim? Luger and Sting talk some trash or tell each other goodbye after the bell rings which eats up nearly two minutes.

Winner and New WCW World Heavyweight Champion: Sting via pin at 13:02 -The opening was fire and they it settled into a normal Luger/Sting match which is okay on good days at best.

They may be great friends, but never really had great chemistry.

The crowd was fired up for the match though and the title changed was big moment.

The crossbody off the top ending was burned in my memory for whatever reason.

**1/4 -Ross makes sure to let us know Sting dominated that match and after the first few minutes it was never in doubt.

One last shot at Luger, who was out the door after this match and would show up as part of WrestleMania VIII.

It did drag towards the end with the back to back 20 minute tag matches and the Rude/Steamboat match.

The crowd seemed a little burned out as well until recovering for the Main Event.

The Main Event was okay and was kind of a bummer ending for Luger's first run as World Champion, but I guess it's fitting for the way it started.
