WWF New Generation Thread III


Bossman vs Razor - the opening match of a Green Bay TV taping that I badly wanted to go to... Martel/Money Inc vs High Energy/Tatanka.... HBK vs Kamala in a Mid South rematch.... HBK vs Skinner in a booking oddity.....Virgil vs HBK,,,,, Another 40 man battle royal.... Bret vs The Model.... Natural Disasters vs Beverly Sisters.... Taker vs Yoko
 
I think he could. Especially with the lowered expectations of a house show + the reverse imaging of the other main event, flipping the heel/face dynamic.

If they were confident in Nailz being a grown up, it could have started a 2-3 month program for the A tour. Put Nailz over by countout on this card and close with Warrior over Flair. The next time in town do another double main event, with something similar to Warrior/Flair in star power, and have Bret do a little better, with a double dq or something. Bret wins the third, a cage match, headlining the A on his own.
 
Looking this card up, looks like this was actually while Flair was out with his ear thing. Dibiase was moved up to face Warrior and Earthquake faced IRS in a singles match. The Tugster got a much-deserved break
 
Good for Fred!

I always liked the Warrior-DiBiase matches, even the roundly panned Coliseum Video one, but that's because of childhood-tinted glasses.
 
Bret/Nailz is probably a good match if it's on a real show. House show Bret isn't going to care.

92 Warrior/Dibiase somewhat interests me just because Warrior off the gas moved a lot better but rarely seemed to care.
 
Wacholtz is an odd case as he left the AWA in Feb 88 and has no other results listed until June 89 where he had 2 WWF tryout matches.... then nothing again for a year when he did a few FMW matches then no results again until his WWF run in 92 started.

And the only thing he had going for him (his body) was covered in jump suit, so who knows what he looked like at that point.
 
WWF @ Detroit, MI – Joe Louis Arena – October 28, 1993 (1,700)
Owen Hart pinned Bastion Booger at 7:53 with a flying tackle
The Headshrinkers defeated Men on a Mission (w/ Mo) when Samu pinned Mo with a side kick to the face
WWF IC Champion Razor Ramon defeated IRS via count-out after tying him to the ring post with his own tie
Lex Luger pinned Ludvig Borga at 10:30 with the running forearm, despite interference from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji; after the bout, Yoko hit the Bonzai Drop and went up for a second but several officials pulled Luger out of the ring before he could hit the move
Rick & Scott Steiner defeated WWF Tag Team Champions the Quebecers via disqualification at 13:22 when Jacques hit Scott with one of the title belts to prevent the pinfall after Pierre sustained the Frankensteiner
WWF World Champion Yokozuna (w/ Mr. Fuji) pinned the Undertaker (w/ Paul Bearer) at 7:53 after hitting him with the salt bucket after Taker was distracted by Fuji who had stolen the urn from Bearer
Bret Hart defeated Jerry Lawler in a steel cage match at 14:10 by escaping over the top after interference from the Black Knight and Owen Hart

Look at that card and how poorly it drew!
 
Need Hogan, Honky Tonk Man, and Mr T to draw a crowd in Detroit.
 
I remembered seeing the segment when it aired but started to think it was a fever dream because it didn't go anywhere
 

I wish they did another Wild Card Survivor Series match. Give the winners an incentive that the survivors each get a title match of their choice or something like that.
 
they basically did their modern spin on the wild card survivor match during the “brand wars” to varying degrees of success.

If they mercifully scrapped the war games concept, they would likely just return to that raw vs smackdown format.

May have salvaged 92-93 - 94 was stable at worst as a show.

Maybe put all the winners in a mini battle royal for #30 in the Rumble to juice the next PPV?
 
First elimination is number one in the Rumble, person who scores the final is 30
 
Wild Card helps 94 a lot only because it means either replacing or vastly trimming the midget match. It could be any combination, Well Dunn explodes, whatever. That's ten minimum minutes of no clowns and kings.
 
Gives you a match for the December ppv too starting in 95. Could get a win back for the first eliminated, do a double or nothing to swap spots, etc
 
Sid/Yokozuna is the kind of match I feel like is awful on paper but somehow clicks.
