If that Perfect/Doink match is the one I think it is, that's a great inclusion. I recall their first two matches in KOR qualifying ended in no-decisions (one match was very good, one was weak), and their third and deciding match was very good.
Originally posted by CRZNot including Yokozuna vs. Crush is a CRIMINAL omission.
Yet this Crush on the sands of Hawaii March 1, 1993 made the cut. These were terrible then.
Actually, this whole set could be called the lead up to WCW pummling us in the ratings. There was some good stuff back then, but you really had to wade through all the cheese and the neon to find it.

Is this the one where Bret puts him in the Sharpshooter and Earl Hebner, for reasons known only to him, slaps the mat 3 times?

Is this the one where Stan Lane walks in and Shawn's only wearing a towel, and he's like LET ME PUT SOMETHING ON, and Stan comes back in and Shawn's wearing the towel and the I/C belt around his waist? Because that ruled. However, I think that was on Superstars.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO WATCH MONDAY NIGHT RAW LOOK WHO'S BACK ON TOP OF THE WORLD LOOKIN' DOWN ON ALL OF YOU
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE LIKE ME? YOU WILL NEVER, EVER KNOW HAHA
I am buying it for a few reasons, the primary reason is that it sell well enough we can get into the 1997-2002 awesomeness of Raw on DVD. The other reasons are that I don't remember too much from that era and there are some good nuggets to get it. Its really no wonder Nitro kicked their ass for a long time.
I see what you're saying, but Linda never said the WWE champ HAD to defend on both shows. And so far (pre-Brock), the WWE champs have chosen to show up wherever and whenever they wanted.
