How about a Sega Genesis Top Ten Challenge this week? Or, if you hold it in England, make it Mega Drive.

WrestleWar has now passed! These two episodes are not available in their entirety, so it’s just a review of the available matches from both shows. Should have the full shows to review as I get up to date with Scott’s Saturday Night reviews, then I’ll post subsequent reviews as he does.

It’s Nintendo Top Ten Challenge Bros. 3 – and why should anyone outside of Japan know what the fuck a tanuki is?!

It’s Nintendo Top Ten Challenge Bros. 2 – the one with the transvestite dinosaur that spits eggs!

Not much to say, let’s keep on going.

Let’s keep going with this, at least up until WrestleWar.

Yesterday’s random review of a WCW Saturday Night show from Disney MGM Studios prompted a call for more reviews. Well, I don’t really fancy reviewing Saturday Night, but when I was a kid and got into wrestling it was during a surge in popularity in the UK, prompting ITV to import WCW Worldwide (previously Worldwide Wrestling) and stick it in a Saturday afternoon slot, much like the old World of Sport/Professional Wrestling programme had been for years.
The episode they started with, edited and on a tape delay, as was the case, was this one, with the new shortened title and a new member of the announce team. I tend to think of it as being right after Superbrawl II, but we’re actually more than a month removed. The Dangerous Alliance are running wild, and these are the current champions:
World Heavyweight Champion – Sting
United States Heavyweight Champion – Ravishing Rick Rude
World Television Champion – Stunning Steve Austin
Light Heavyweight Champion – Flyin’ Brian Pillman
World Tag Team Champions – Arn Anderson and Beautiful Bobby
United States Tag Team Champions – Greg “The Hammer” Valentine and the Taylor Made Man
Let’s get to it!

I was looking for a match on the old WCW Saturday Night section of the Network the other night and skipped past a preview picture with a very familiar setting, given the background. Thought I’d give it a look, as this was the only episode taped among the marathon Worldwide tapings in July for a week that would come to live in infamy for how cack-handed they were as far as integrating with the booking direction of the company.
