Tough but for me there's nothing left that can top Austin-Goldberg

[Lucky]

I'm much less enthused by this week's card than last week's for Cory. I mean, there's no denying the appeal of Austin/Goldberg but I really don't want to watch Hogan/Warrior a 2nd time in 2 weeks and none of the undercard matches are appealing to me this week. Billy Gunn and Buff Bagwell were kind of compelling as a tag team but I don't want to watch that singles match and D'Lo & Sabin are being wasted against Santino & Eugene.

On the other hand nothing really excites me about Mike's card. I like Perfect and the Midnights but Taker and the R&R Express is... so weird. That's probably a better match than Austin/Goldberg but it isn't as compelling a one. And none of those undercard matches appeal to me.

So its basically Austin/Goldberg vs the 6 man and I think the excitement level wins out over the better match.

But it's in a Blue Steel Cage this time!

This was a big part of the reason Cory got my vote.

BTR.

OSW uses REAL steel cages, not that lame shit constructed for no talent lugs like Hogan and Warrior so they can climb the thing.

You can see the real deal when Sgt. Slaughter and Terry Gordy throw down in what is sure to be a bloody war this week on OSW.

This one was close. I gotta give it to Mikey though...

[Mikey]

I may need some help here... maybe spoilers will help?

The show opens with the OSW Tag Team Champions, the Midnight Express, down to the ring to cut a promo. Stan handles the talking, and introduces their new manager. A tennis racket pops out from behind the curtain, but that’s not Jim Cornette. Not with that body. It’s Amy Weber…



…Amy amps up the bitch-meter, calls out the Rock & Roll Express and tells Ricky and Robert that they’re not winning the belts, and once they inevitably blow their title shot, they’re not sniffing the tag title picture again. Ricky calls Amy some mean names and promises that in the six man tag later tonight, one of her boys will get their shoulders pinned to the mat.

Squash Match:
The Godfather vs. The Gambler
• Gambler actually gets some offense in this week, but GF no sells it and finishes Gambler in short order with the Ho Train and a Death Valley Driver

Tank Abbott vs. 911 - Skins Match
• Tank’s leather jacket is on a pole, and they repeat the EXACT shitty match they put on at SuperBrawl 2000, complete with Tank winning the match and pulling a knife on 911 after match and saying, “I could fucking end your life right now” Good guys up 1-0 in the Best of 5 War Games challenge.

Larry Zbyszko vs. Ron Garvin - Loser takes a 45 Day sabbatical
• Garvin hits the sunset flip from the top rope… but Larry counters into the standing figure four straight out of it. Larry’s broken his losing streak! And Garvin has to leave OSW for 45 days – presumably to train for Ric Flair at Starrcade.

"Z-Man" Tom Zenk vs. Robert Fuller (w/ Lady Blossom) - Lumberjack Match
• Fun match with loads of interference from both sets of lumberjacks. Fuller gets the duke with an assist from Lady Blossom once the lumberjacks start brawling. Stud Stable ties the War Games challenge up at 1 apiece.

Terri Runnels tries again to get some answers from Doink the Clown
• Terri wants to know why Doink doused her with water last week. And again, Doink plays it funny and cryptic. The Coach ends up with a pie in the face (pies were at ringside setting up for the following contest) and Doink ends up shooting Terri in the face with a can of whipped cream. Doink asks her if she liked his white stuff, and that draws out Mongo McMichael from the back, dressed to fight this week, and Mongo puts the beats on Doink and carries Terri off to the back.

Butterbean vs. Rodney Mack (w/ Slick) - Pie Eating Contest
• Butterbean gets the early advantage, but it’s a setup as Mack slams Butterbean on the back of the head with a pie and jumps him, knocking him out of his chair. Mack wears out Butterbean with the chair, and Floyd Mayweather and Pacman Jones storm the ring like a couple of hyenas and lay a major asswhipping on Butterbean, complete with double DDT on the chair. Godfather, obviously in the middle of changing from his wrestling getup to his pimping threads, makes a late save as the heels scatter.

Big Bossman vs. "Dr. Death" Steve Williams - Strap Match
• Solid brawl here, going into the crowd with the strap. Bossman whips the hell out of Doc’s back in the crowd, drawing all sorts of welts. The ref gets bumped, and Bossman gets all four corners after reversing the Oklahoma Stampede into a tombstone piledriver. Terry Gordy runs in and distracts Bossman long enough for Williams to steal the handcuffs and cuff Bossman’s hands behind his back. Doc slips the strap thru between Bossman’s arms, and Bossman can’t fight him off, valiantly hooking the ropes with his legs best he can, but Doc manages to pull him around to all four turnbuckles for the win. Stud Stable takes a 2-1 lead in the Best of 5 War Games challenge.

The Brisco Bros. vs. P.I.M.P. (Floyd Mayweather & Pacman Jones) w/Slick
• The Briscos have their way with the heels, as Mayweather and Jones have very limited mat experience. Mayweather catches Jerry with a nasty left hand to give PIMP some offense, but it doesn’t last long. Finish sees both Jack and Jerry tie the heels in submission holds, and when Slick goes to interfere, the Godfather hits the ring and carries him off. He’s KIDNAPPED Slick! Godfather says something about pimping out Slick as he leaves and the heels tap out.

Ken Shamrock vs. Buddy Rogers (w/ Robert Fuller) - Submission Match
• Rogers cheats like crazy the entire match, and he uses Fuller’s boot on Shamrock’s knee. Figure four looks to finish, but Shamrock turns it over to break. Anklelock is broken up by Fuller, who leaves a roll of silver dollars for Buddy, who KO’s Shamrock. Figure four and Shamrock is out, but Nick Patrick sees the silver dollars in the ring and forces Rogers to break the hold. The heels argue with him, and the momentary distraction allows Shamrock to catch Buddy with a heel hook for the submission! War Games challenge is tied at two!

The Skyscrapers vs. Nikita Koloff & Ahmed Johnson
• Big man brawl here, as roided up Nikita is actually the little guy here. Stiff and sloppy but perversely entertaining. Scrapers isolate Nikita and look for the Doomsday Device, but Nikita punches down and then crotches Spivey up top. Sid stops the superplex by shoving Nikita all the way to the floor. Pearl River Plunge for Sid, but Spivey nails him with a big boot. Sid powerbombs Ahmed, but Ahmed KICKS OUT! Spivey with a chokeslam, but Ahmed kicks out AGAIN! Nikita’s back and Sid eats the Sickle. Spivey catches him with a hotshot, but turns around into the Pearl River Plunge and that’s enough to win it! Terri wants a word with the Scrapers after the match, and they’re hot and promise that the hell that shall rain down on OSW begins right now.

Six Man Tag Match:
Mr. Perfect & The Midnight Express (w/Amy Weber) vs. The Undertaker & the Rock & Roll Express
• With no titles on the line, this one’s going on second to last. Typical formula match, good guys control early, Ricky Morton plays Ricky Morton, and it’s hot tag Taker late! UT destroys all. Amy steps in and breaks up the chokeslam on Bobby with a shot with the tennis racket, but Taker’s having none of that. He grabs HER by the throat, but Perfect, gentleman that he is, saves her from harm. Last Ride for Mr. P, but Sweet Stan nails UT in the face with a superkick to block. We end up with a pier sixer, and Perfect nails Robert with the Perfectplex, but Ricky breaks up the count. The tennis racket gets tossed in, but Taker grabs it from Stan’s hands, and when Stan turns around, it’s the double dropkick, and Robert pins Stan, just like Ricky called at the beginning of the show. The RnR’s have earned Taker respect and he shakes their hands as Perfect is disgusted… but suddenly the Skyscrapers come in from the crowd and DESTROY the good guys. Steel chair for Taker, and stereo powerbombs leave Ricky and Robert laying. Spivey with a chokeslam for Robert, and Sid hits the spinning release powerbomb on Ricky for fun. Perfect, Amy, and the Midnights are amused from the top of the ramp.

Sgt. Slaughter vs. Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy - Steel Cage Match
• Both guys bleed everywhere, exposed turnbuckles, Sarge’s helmet, cowboy boots, a chain… total brawl by two of the best at it. Sarge puts Gordy between the ropes and the cage and bounces him back and forth to the cage. Sarge takes the corner bump over the turnbuckle and into the cage. Finish sees Fuller run in and try to get into the cage, but Sarge kicks the door out on him. But that jezebel Lady Blossom catches Sarge with the perfume again thru the cage, and blinded Sarge staggers back into the belly to back suplex from Gordy, who drops Sarge right on his damn head for the three count! The Stud Stable has won the War Games challenge and will get the man advantage at War Games in two weeks! However… Fuller gets overzealous when celebrating and winds up locked in the cage alone with a waiting and bloody Slaughter, who proceeds to DESTROY Fuller as the Stable can only watch from outside the cage. Sarge makes sure everyone sees Fuller get his ass kicked before Rogers and Williams finally manage to climb the cage and get in, but now the door’s unlocked and Sarge escapes.

[creepy]

Mikey, even without the spoilers, although the 6 Man seems real weird.

[Batman]

The spoilers (and switching the cage match to the main) convinced me. Switching to Mike.

[DevSop]

I'm voting just based on the hope that Chyna dies on the way to the ring and the match winds up being Ivory vs. Kong.

[Mikey]

OSW has announced its card for the last show before OSW: Final Judgment. Among other things, the Midnight Express will defend their titles against the #1 contenders, the Rock & Roll Express, in a 60 minute tag team Ironman match!
