The Lapsed Fan journeys into Hulkamania’s darker days this week, as your co-chairs deep dive the one-of-a-kind 1996 WCW Uncensored, headlined by the preposterous Doomsday Cage and the Mega Powers’ bid to dispatch the eight-man (yes, eight) Alliance to End Hulkamania.
The show includes:
– A meditation on why WCW would go to the trouble to construct the massive triple decker cage if most of the match took place outside the structure and/or in a standard ring at the bottom
– The story behind Z-Gangsta and The Ultimate Solution
– A surprisingly clumsy clash between Eddy Guerrero and Konnan
– Regal’s WCW theme, a cappella
– Dusty Rhodes positively flustered on commentary when Schiavone says “gluteus maximus”
– The Tupelo crowd’s gradual realization that Regal and Finlay are actually destroying each other in their match
– Loch Ness? How about Loch Less, please.
– In a tour de force of acting, Kimberly “Booty Babe” Page turns to the camera and says, “Oh, i don’t want him to get hurt. I want him to be my boyfriend.”
– Sting, Booker, and LOD build to about four different finishes before delivering one
– Where was Brian Pillman in the main event?
– Of all the low-wattage wrestlers in the main, guess who ends up counting the lights? Whoo guessed it!
All that and so much more as TLF hits one of the worst pay-per-view’s ever – Uncensored 96 – with that deep dive treatment. Check it out now!
