WCW The Great American Bash 1991
The Great American Bash (1991) took place on July 14, 1991 at the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. The card was originally to be highlighted by a Steel cage match between Ric Flair and Lex Luger for the WCW World title. Two weeks before the show, WCW Executive VP Jim Herd fired Flair over a contract dispute, stripping him of the title. Flair took possession of the WCW World title and brought it to the World Wrestling Federation with him. A new belt could not be readied in time for the event, so the company was forced to improvise. A Championship Wrestling title belt that was in the possession of Dusty Rhodes was used and a metal plate with "WCW World Heavyweight Champion" was attached to the front. The main event ended up being WCW US Champ Lex Luger vs Varry Windham for the WCW World Title. On the undercard was a match featuring Steve Austin & Terry Taylor versus Bobby Eaton & P.N. News in a Capture-The-Flag scaffold match, which was Austin's first PPV match.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Starrcade (1989) involved two ironmen torunaments, one for the tag teams and one for the singles wrestlers. They're both bad and not even worth commenting on. The bookers tried to hard to be different and everyone involved wounded up on the short end of the stick. All of the wrestlers didn't seem to care for it at all. The Great Muta sleepwalked through his matches and Ric Flair wasn't the "Nature Boy" that night either. Just another showcase for Sting.Not recommended.D-Ric Flair does not make a very good face (i.e. good guy). He's the ultimate heel.
