WCW Monday Nitro (September 25, 1995)



Original Airdate: September 25, 1995

From Florence, South Carolina; Your Hosts are Eric Bischoff, Steve McMichael, and Bobby Heenan – in front of a heavily papered crowd. I mean, sure, over half the tickets were giveaways, but it looks better on TV than running high school gyms, and that’s what counts during this era

HITMAN383 Rant for WCW Spring Stampede 1994



Hey Rant Lovers. I'm here today to review WCW's Spring Stampede 1994. (This was one of my earlier HITMAN383 Rants – originally written in 1999. Kind of weird to think that this was written only some five years after the show took place)

HITMAN383 Rant for WCW Slamboree 1993



- As promised, the HITMAN383 Rant for WCW Slamboree 1993. This one should be subtitled “I hate am a masochist” because no one in their right mind should ever watch this. (As this rant should have been titled ‘I hate proofreading’) Except us tape reviewers, of course. This is the Turner Home Video version, BTW, and some matches are cut. DAMN! I wanted to see that Sid vs. Van Hammer match so bad! (This was originally written in late 2000)

HITMAN383 Rant for WCW Beach Blast 1992



- The HITMAN383 Rant for WCW Beach Blast 1992 (Turner-Home Video version). This was during the infamous Bill Watts era, when everything was weird. Jumping off the top rope? HELL NO! Pads on the floor? GOOD-BYE! Sounds like fun, eh? (This was originally written in 2000)

HITMAN383 Rant for WCW Great American Bash 1991



- The HITMAN383 Rant for WCW Great American Bash 1991. This has been called the worst PPV of ALL time, and comes off right after the firing/quitting of Ric Flair. The fans were RIGHTLY pissed, and continually chanted “We Want Flair” throughout this whole show. It’s really interesting to watch. (This was originally written in 2000, while WCW was still alive)

HITMAN383 Rant for WCW WrestleWar 1991



- The HITMAN383 Rant for WCW WrestleWar 1991. This was requested by a reader, and despite how much I hate this show, I went out and rented it anyway. Where’s my sentimental “awww” anyway? (Yeah, I remember that. I had to go to this out of the way rental place that had a decent selection of WCW tapes to get it from. Good thing the Network didn’t exist back then – I’d probably have never graduated high school if it had)
