November 1994 | Vol. III | WCW: Clash of Champions XXVIII

Chapter Times:
Clash Of The Champions XXIX: 11 mins 30s
Randy Savage Discussion: 50 mins

 

A show that was largely saved, you might say, by a stellar match between Dustin Rhodes and Vader also featured the first match with the Three Faces of Fear, taking on Sting, Hogan and Dave Sullivan. Later on in the show, we look at one near-certain arrival in Randy Savage, and a few potential names that might be coming in including The Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna.

November 1994 | Vol. II | ECW, AAA When World's Collide

The second volume of this month sees us take our usual look at ECW, before Bob departs leaving Del and Chris to look at the AAA “When World's Collide” Lucha Libre PPV.

 

Chapter Times:

ECW: Start

AAA: 43 mins

 

One of the great TV angles you will ever see with the “retirement” ceremony for the Sandman, along with a brutal tag team title match between Cactus Jack & Mikey Whipreck and The Public Enemy. The AAA show would also include a tag team match rated five stars by Dave Meltzer. Tragically, “Love Machine” Art Barr (who wrestled in this match along with his tag team partner Eddy Guerrero) would pass away less than three weeks later.
