This and his birthday.

Two of the worse cage matches ever, shows you just how bad Dat PPV was...

 

[Chris]

Luger/Windham wasn't a bad match. Any other PPV and it would have been fine, it was just the fact that it was for some new jobber world title and didn't even main event the shitty PPV.

Tank Abbot's WCW was godly too.

All MMA guys who try make the transition should watch that run.

Its impossible for a title to be considered a jobbers title before it has even debuted. Certainly wasn't a jobbers title a year later when the likes of Sting and Vader wore it. Each to their own, but I thought the cage match was pretty bland, and it was dumb than they didn't use the cage once.

No I mean the actually belt itself was a jobber title because they didn't have their own WCW Championship belt yet. The lineage started earlier that year with Flair's reign so the title had already debuted, just not the belt itself.
