Nice idea for a thread Chris.

Isn't that 95 Uncensored considered one of the worse events in history or was that the next years?

The Brian Knobs Hardcore Title win really made me mark!

Wow AJ's young.

 

[Deezy]

Uncensored was just an overall shit ppv. But 95 had that Doomsday cage, so it could be considered one of the worst.

 

[Chris]

@Keith Yes, but '96 was horrible too

@deezy '96 had the Doomsday cage, '95 had Hogan/Vader in a Strap Match and the debut of the Ultimate Warrior knockoff guy

 

[Deezy]

Was sure 96 was the WCW vs Horsemen vs nWo battle royale clusterfuck and Stings return, but I guess I'm a year behind. Wasn't the year before the Doomsday cage that one with Dustin Rhodes and some guy fighting in a transfer truck?

Nah, you got your Uncensoreds all messed up. Big battle royal clusterfuck was '97, Doomsday cage was '96, Rhodes truck match was '95. '97 wasn't near as bad as the rest of the Uncensoreds but that's not saying much.

 

[Deezy]

Pretty much figured I had my years messed up, I'm just going off memory, no way I was going to look it up to confirm.
