The current WCW and NWA champs are as follows:
WCW World Champion: Ron Simmons (8/2/1992)
NWA World Champion: Masahiro Chono (8/12/1992)

WCW World Television Champion: Vacant (11/1/1992)
Your hosts are Jim Ross and Larry Zbyszko. Check out the “King of Cable” trophy behind Ross and Zbyszko! They take us back to last week when Barry Windham and Ricky Steamboat arm themselves with chairs. Nobody gets whacked as DUSTIN RHODES shows up behind Windham, steals his chair away, and misses a big swing up against the ringpost. Rhodes and Windham get into a fist fight while Ricky Steamboat and Shane Douglas cheer on Dustin from ringside. They brawl back to the locker room. IT’S SO CHAOTIC! Read the rest of this entry →
WWE – Unreleased: Never Before Seen Matches (DISC ONE)

WWE – Unreleased: Never Before Seen Matches
1986-1995
Disc One
I haven’t completed a DVD recap in a while and this one looked pretty interesting, so I thought I would give it a shot. Heck, I haven’t purchased a WWE DVD in forever, so you know this had to have peaked my interest on some level.
AT FIRST GLANCE: Disc one covers the 1980s portion of the set and creeps into 1990 a little bit. Some of the tag matches could be interesting. On disc one, I’m most interested in the handicap match between Hogan and Savage against the Hart Foundation and the Honky Tonk Man. I think that could possibly be a hidden gem. The Powers of Pain against the Rockers could be promising as well. While this doesn’t surprise me that it’s part of the set because it’s WWE, I’m scratching my head over why they would think we would want to sit through Andre the Giant and Big John Studd — in 1989. Nevertheless, let’s get at it.
