As mentioned Rey debuts in 96 against Dean Malenko and gets over immediately. 96 has a fun Benoit & Sullivan brawl and the surprisingly good flair / Arn vs Mongo & Green tag too if I remember right. Not to mention that boss looking jacknife on Bischoff.  Edited July 7, 2021 by Tommy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arena looked very basic and sparse WCW normally had elaborate set decorations for PPV, nothing for this event, just the ring in a dark arena, and no mats surrounding the ring either. The PPV was the world title match and the NWA title tournament, Vader pretty much dominated Sting and pinned him clean to win the title, and Williams and Gordy won the tournament, also cleanly. Not in 1992. That’s the way the shows were presented in WCW at the time. Very basic but I don’t mind it. The big entrance sets and PPV logo on the canvas and stuff didn’t start until a few years later. The no mats at ringside would be because GAB 92 came during the period when Bill Watts was in charge. No mats outside the ring, coming off the top rope was banned etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pier Six Brawler Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I'm sure Beach Blast '92 had palm trees etc by the entrance way. I definitely remember GAB '92 looking very bare bones, another thing was there was no interviews or backstage segments that I recall either (maybe they were edited off the VHS), it was just match, match, match. The TV was great under Watts but the PPVs seemed to suffer, Beach Blast was great (that might have been before he really started running things), Halloween Havoc '92 was poor and Starrcade '92 was just a mish-mash with too much going on (two world title matches, plus the King of Cable final, plus the Battle Bowl) and the likes of Sting and Vader had to do triple duty and work three matches. SuperBrawl III was great though, one of the best WCW PPVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
