Creased me that. I was waiting for her to start talking about Mick McManus, Jackie Pallo and Big Daddy so that threw me a little ?

And the lad admits he prefers WWF because they had bigger stars like what the fuck lol

They had a vote around October 1992 for a vote and top rope rule was removed. A month prior the Light Heavyweight Title was vacanted and never came back until when the Cruiserweight Title was launched. Incredible timing as ever.

Only WCW would keep that in their footage ?

[davertfnewman]

In fairness, we got raw footage, so they probably would've just included the compliments. I'm just surprised how many people don't go with the producer's prompting that Steve Austin (who wasn't on the tour) is a big star, but then the fairly diminished Beautiful Bobby gets praised by a few.

I was there. I'll give thisa watch back when I have more free time. The matches are in a different order than I remember. Vader/Cactus was after Hayes Vs Maxx Payne, and Bulldog/Vegas was the semi main.

The way it appears on the video is how it’s listed on the history of WCW website…

It was over 30 years ago. I'll happily admit to my memory being a little hazy. 

[SpykeDudlei1]

Crazy how time does that to the memory isn’t it? Wasn’t calling you out for being wrong, actually thought you were confident your recollection was right having been there.

A real deep cut at the start with the two "Arn Anderson is God" banners. This was the work of Ian Mack from The Wrestling Radio Show who started a campaign to get as many listeners as possible to take "Arn Anderson is god" posters to these shows. I took one to the London show. Arn wasn't on it. 

[davertfnewman]

Nor was he on ANY of the UK shows. The closest he probably got to Bristol was Bristol, Tennessee when on loan to Corny for SMW.

I do remember being annoyed that I didn't get to see Dustin because of the attack. My mum was glad she got to see Rick Rude. 

[SpykeDudlei1]

Unless there was an injury I can’t understand why they would take Dustin & Big Bazza off the show completely (barring that show and go appearance). Apparently they tore the house down in London 2 days earlier in singles.

[davertfnewman]

You certainly expect them back later in the night in a singles match, but it is strange. Feels like something was up. Maybe one of them had a bad kebab the night before and didn't fancy their chances taking atomic drops and gut shots.

WCW never giving us that one on one Barry vs Dustin clash on a PPV after the team split always bugged me. Especially because you know the matches they were having on the road were probably so good. Think we might have seen more of a feud there if it wasn’t for the fact Flair was coming back and they were gonna go with Flair vs Windham.
