Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
SlyGuy21 I can understand why WCW would decide to do a show like this. The nWo were huge at the time, they were still beating WWF in ratings, and they had some good names on board. But I guess they didn't factor in how horrible of a show this could be. The entire show is in the nWo's favor. Nick Fatrick is the only ref, so all the counts for the WCW guys are slow. The commentators are Bischoff and Ted DiBiase, both heel nWo commentators who bury the WCW guys. The ring announcer is pro-nWo. This is a three hour show, and this gimmick gets old after the first match. No real match on this show is memorable either, because the previous things I mentioned overshadow all the matches. It's hard to enjoy a match when the commentators are both one-sided, the ref is one-sided, and the entire show is one-sided. The only two memorable things about the show is Hugh Morrus getting run over by a Harley, and Guerrero's Ladder match with X-Pac. The Ladder match is decent, but not nearly as good as you'd expect from these two guys. This show is a joke, and it hurt the nWo more than anything. An exercise of ego for three hours, with one match that's decent. No thanks.
tbm1185 I'm sure it sounded like a good idea at the time but, this was pretty much a disaster. None of the matches were very entertaining. I know the production value was supposed to be unique from typical WCW shows but, it just came across as low budget. Perhaps it was supposed to feel that way but, it just hurt the overall feel. Another low point was how the announcers especially Bischoff, tried way too hard to convince the audience that the NWO were upstanding good guys. DiBiase did his best but, Bischoff had me wanting to hit the mute button more times than not. The biggest problem can be summed up by pointing out that the entire PPV felt unnecessary. It was a NWO PPV with NWO wrestlers, announcers and referee, so how could anybody affiliated with WCW actually win a match? They shouldn't have but, they still did. This show goes down as one of WCW's infamous bad ideas.
callanvass Live from Cedar Rapids, IAAttendance: 5,120Your hosts are Eric Bischoff & Ted Dibiase Everything is nWo. The setup, the logos, the ring, the announcers, everything. To be honest, it's a little overbearing. Masahiro Chono Vs Chris JerichoJericho is a face here and he's booed pretty loudly because Cedar Rapids seem to be full of idiots. The crowd ends up favoring Jericho anyway because of Nick Patrick. Chono wins with a boot to the face. Technically, this match is fine. It just lacks any real spark. **Mexican Death MatchHugh Morrus (W/Jimmy Hart) Vs Big Bubba RogersA Mexican Death Match is where anything goes. No pinfalls, no countouts, submissions, etc. You keep going until you can't continue. Kinda like a Last Man Standing Match. Big Bubba wins after running over Morrus with a motorcycle. This was such a stupid match. They didn't take advantage of the stipulation and failed to be creative on anything. The finish was really silly.*Jeff Jarrett Vs M. WallstreetJarrett wins after Steve McMichael interferes. This is another boring match. It was filled with rest holds that bored me to tears. Jarrett is a decent worker, but that's about it.*1/4Buff Bagwell Vs Scotty RiggsBagwell wins with the Buff Blockbuster. This one was REALLY boring. It felt like it went on for 30 minutes with how much it dragged. The only cool thing about it was seeing Buff's finisher. I've always thought Buff's finisher was awesome.*1/2Diamond Dallas Paige Vs Scott NortonScott Norton wins by countout when Buff Bagwell and other nWo members come down to the ring. Buff offers DDP another chance to be in the nWo. DDP accepts the nWo's invitation and puts on the shirt. It turns out to be a trick from DDP. DDP nails the Diamond Cutter on Norton, fends off the nWo, and escapes through the crowd.This is a pretty mediocre match that had a hot ending. DDP's tease was exciting.*3/4Tag Team ChampionshipThe Outsiders (C) Vs The Steiner BrothersThe Steiner's win the tag team titles after Rick Steiner hits Scott Hall with a bulldog from the top. This was a pretty average tag team match. There was nothing horrible about it, but nothing overly exciting either. The Steiner's winning is a pretty cool moment, I guess,**United States Championship (Ladder Match)Eddie Guererro Vs SyxxBoth pull the belt down at the same time, but Eddie gains possession and drills Syxx with it to fully gain possession of the belt and win the title. This might seem tame for today's standards because there have been so many ladder matches, but it's still an excellent ladder match. It was exciting and both did some cool stuff. ***3/4Up next is Eric Bischoff in a painful segment, choosing the new miss nWo. This was way worse than the diva search. World Heavyweight Championship"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan (C) (W/The Dallas Cowboys) Vs The GiantThe match ends inconclusively. The Giant has the match won with a chokeslam, but Nick Patrick won't count the three. The Giant ends up destroying the nWo with chokeslams until Hogan nails The Giant with a guitar. Hogan and the nWo humiliate the Giant by spray painting nWo on him to end the show. This was an awful main event. Every match these two have with each other has stunk. I hated the finish as well. 3/4*This is quite possibly the worst WCW PPV I've ever seen. It was obnoxious garbage from start to finish except for the ladder match. The setup is very murky as well. The nWo did do some memorable things, but Bischoff also didn't realize when enough was enough. They overdid it in a big way here.2.5/10
