Bash at the Beach 1996 Live Discussion - March 5, 2020

[Hoss]

Who is the third man???​

An outside threat has made its presence felt in WCW! Invaders from rival promotion WWF, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall (formerly known as Diesel and Razor Ramon) are showing up and wreaking havoc, with no end in sight! Hall has challenged WCW EVP Eric Bischoff to choose three of his men to take on Nash, himself and a mystery third partner at Bash at the Beach. Lex Luger, Sting and Randy Savage will represent WCW against The Outsiders and their undisclosed partner. Questions are swirling about the future of WCW as things continue to spiral out of control but the question on everyone's mind is... WHO IS THE THIRD MAN?

Tonight we will see the struggle for power in WCW unfold, as well as matches such as Psychosis vs. Rey Mysterio... The Nasty Boys vs. Public Enemy... Ric Flair vs. Konnan... and The Giant and The Taskmaster vs. Arn Anderson and Chris Benoit!

We've got one hell of a show on our hands folks. It'll be wild! It'll be crazy! It'll be absolutely captivating! But... it will be NO DAY AT THE BEACH!!

Heeeey yooooooo!

Now...this...is what's good, bro.

I love that Outsiders header you used and great use of hype in the description. I can't wait to see who the third man is.

This is a really great introduction. I love that you put a good deal of effort in the OP.

Luger, Sting and Mach. I already feel like I'm there breathing in that sea air.

Mistero Jr. and Psychosis could be a sleeper as well. Let's go!

 

[Mox Girl]

You guys have fun today, I can't make it, I won't even be home. I'll try to catch the next one!

 

[Chris]

I LOVE the Rey/Psicosis match that opens this show, and also the Dean/Disco match is underrated af. The rest of the undercard is pretty meh and then that goddam Mongo match

And then obviously the main event has possibly the biggest moment in wrestling history, so all in all a great PPV to watch.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Will it just be Hoss and I?

 

[Chris]

I won't be watching but I might reply to some of EC's terrible takes for the first hour or so when I'm on.

 

[Hoss]

I'm ready!

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I always forget the PPV uses the Outsiders theme or vice versa.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Bash at the Beach has such a cool and iconic logo.

 

[Hoss]

For sure

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Makes you wonder why a Beach themed PPV was chosen for the hostile takeover. Surely GAB or Fall Brawl made more sense?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Or even Hog Wild since it's basically a biker's rally. How outside is that?

 

[Chris]

Bash was just the next PPV after they signed Hall and Nash lmao

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Back when PPV sets actually trued. Look at the imported sand and lifeguard towers.
