WCW Saturday Night Recaps

With WCW Nitro not on last Monday, a lot has happened the last couple of weeks on WCW Saturday Night so I will take some time to recap what has been going on. The 3/2 and 3/9 episodes of WCW Saturday Night have been really good in my opinion. I felt like these shows have been better as of late than Nitro has been. Of course not having Hulk Hogan in the main event helps.

There was a WCW World Heavyweight Championship main event on the 3/2 edition of Saturday Night where Ric Flair defended the title against Sting. However, poor timing caused the show to end during the middle of the match.

The rest of the match was shown the following Saturday morning on WCW Pro. Flair won by DQ when Sting reversed the Figure Four but Lex Luger ran in and got Sting disqualified. No word if the show ended during the match on purpose or not to get us to watch the full match on Pro but we did so if so, kudos to you!!

The main event at Uncensored appears to be this Doomsday Steel Cage match with three-four steel cages being stacked on top of another with Flair, Arn Anderson, Kevin Sullivan, and Loch Ness taking on Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Also, Sting and Lex Luger will take on The Road Warriors in a "Chicago Street Fight" which Luger accepted the Warriors challenge on his and Sting's behalf.

However on the 3/9 episode of WCW Saturday Night, Jimmy Hart announced that since he controls Luger's contract, he is pulling Luger out of the match against The Road Warriors and will put him in place of Loch Ness in the Doomsday Cage match at Uncensored.

Sting has angrily confronted Luger telling him to choose between Sting or Hart, but Hart controls Luger. Luger is causing all this trouble yet is able to weasel his way out. Sting will need a partner to take on The Road Warriors.

Loch Ness is angry at Hart for pulling him from the main event match that he refused to take part in the 8-man tag team main event match on the 3/9 episode of Saturday Night where he was to team up with his original Alliance to End Hulkamania Doomsday match teammates Flair, Arn, and Sullivan. It appears that Loch Ness in his really brief time in WCW has turned face.

On the 3/2 episode of Saturday Night, Miss Elizabeth did a one-on-one interview with Tony Schiavone to explain why she turned on Randy Savage and joined forces with Flair. Liz says if it wasn't for her, Savage would be washing dishes in some diner as she apparently made Savage, not the other way around. She wants to take everything Savage owns. She also mentions how she loves the limousine lifestyle Flair has shown her.

The last few weeks on episodes of WCW Saturday Night, "repo men" and even tax collectors would come and take some of Diamond Page's possessions like his car, jewelry, and even wrestling attire since he owes on back taxes and bills since he is broke after losing everything to Johnny B. Badd after losing several matches to him dating back to last Oct. at Halloween Havoc.

Page challenged Badd to one final match at Uncensored for all the marbles. If Page loses, then he would leave WCW forever. Badd initially rejected his challenge stating he doesn't have anything left to prove.

It also looks like Badd would turn heel the way he's been with Kimberly lately as maybe she goes back to Dallas or she goes with the Fruity I mean Booty Man as the last Nitro would have us believe. He questioned her about the roses she received on the last episode of Nitro, but she does not answer him.

Badd defended his WCW TV Title against Lex Luger on the 3/9 episode of WCW Saturday Night. Jimmy Hart brought Page to the ring as Page gave Badd the Diamond Cutter onto the outside floor, allowing Luger to pin him and ugh win the TV Title, like he needs it since he's already one half of the WCW World Tag Team Champions with Sting.

Badd then accepted Page's challenge to a match at Uncensored and then yells at Kimberly after losing the title. I wish if Badd was going to lose the title it would be to DDP or Chris Benoit a couple of weeks ago on WCW Saturday Night, not Luger. This is a belt for those who are looking to climb the ladder, someone like Benoit or Eddie Guerrero or Dean Malenko. Heck, even Brian Pillman if he still were in the company.

Doesn't Luger have to forfeit the tag team titles since he can't be a double champion? This might breakup Luger and Sting if Luger decides to be the TV Champ and must forfeit the tag team titles especially with Luger backing out of their match at Uncensored which Luger accepted.

WCW tries to further rip on WWF by showing numerous clips of WCW wrestlers beating up then WCW now WWF wrestlers the last few weeks on WCW Saturday Night. Those now WWF wrestlers shown getting their asses kicked are Steve Austin, "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith, Vader, The Undertaker, and Jake Roberts.

The last two weeks on WCW Saturday Night, there have been two classic matches between Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. This is why Saturday Night has been better than Nitro lately as these two should be on Nitro not guys like The Booty Man and Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

Guerrero won both matches as they were both really good matches. For winning the second match, Guerrero earned a United States Championship match against the champion Konnan at Uncensored.

Very lame angle as Col. Rob Parker continues to be in love with Madusa. She knocks him out after making him close his eyes for a kiss and then challenges him to a match at Uncensored. The match will be made and it will suck.

This Monday on Nitro features the main event six-man tag team leather strap match between Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Booty Man against Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, and Kevin Sullivan. Johnny B. Badd gets a TV Title rematch with Lex Luger. The Nasty Boys take on The Public Enemy and The Giant will face Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
