WCW Women’s Champion: Akira Hokuto (12/29/1996)
Already this is a crazy show. The new World order come into the arena hanging on the back of dump trucks along with this huge obnoxious police and fire truck escort. It’s just WAY over the top, but that’s the point.
Such a great intro video. I love it. We-we-we are in control. The stage is pretty much completely dark and evil-looking. The whole set reminds me of either Fight Club or the abandoned warehouse where Zoolander and Hansel had their walk-off. All we need now is David Bowie.
Your hosts are Eric Bischoff and Ted DiBiase. Read the rest of this entry

WCW World Television Champion: Johnny B. Badd (10/29/1995)
To set this concept show up and it is pretty simple, a stereotypical Japanese guy named Sonny Oono (one of Bischoff’s real-life kickboxing buddies) entered WCW a few months back as an international consultant and told everybody that the athletes from Japan could beat American wrestlers any day of the week.

Pyongyang, North Korea
Pyongyang Stadium
(Shown on US PPV 8/4/1995)
Even crazy North Koreans love the NATURE BOY! WOOOO!
Your hosts are Eric Bischoff, Mike Tenay and Sonny Oono. Possibly the most boring announce team ever. Bischoff and Oono make some elitist exchanges for their country throughout the show. It seems unnecessary considering this is supposed to be an exhibition for peace.
