Linda Dallas vs Misty Blue, WCW Saturday Night. Some solid technical work for the 80s. Bit overshadowed by Linda's unfortunately large aspirations on a brisk evening.

Camera focuses on JJ Dillon fucking around with commentary and video ends. Prob because of the aforementioned weather. Such is the way of Youtube.

Jim Neidhart vs. The Warlord. WWF UK Rampage '91. Neidhart with a side headlock. Warlord tries to push him off but Neidhart keeps it cinched in. Neidhart runs off of the ropes and tries several shoulderblocks to try to knock him down. Warlord wears him down with a bearhug.

Warlord smashes against the turnbuckle padding. As he's stunned, Neidhart schoolboys him for the win.

In a battle of behemoths, this was a solid match. Neidhart showed athleticism and technique. Warlord should've gotten the win, however, as he needed a win for his monster heel push. He didn't beat many of the babyfaces during his singles run.

How does a ref clearly see managerial interference and not call for a disqualification?

Undertaker tombstone's Warrior but took too long signaling to the referee Joey Marella and then his urn before pinning his man. Undertaker picks up his urn and smashes it on Warrior's head, causing a DQ.

Not much scientific wrestling, but it was an electrifying match. Warrior's brawling and power moves got the crowd pumping, hoping he'd beat The Deadman. It was a bit of a let down it ended in a disqualification.
