This corner of cyberspace is a labour of love, dedicated to fans of pro wrestling. As such, please forgive and forget any errors that are bound to crop up.


WWF

Ultimate Warrior vs Smash
Warrior went berserk in middle of fight as usual, which left Smash completely bewildered; and succumbed to defeat after a few quick rope-based moves, finished off by jumping on Smash from 2 corners. 1-0

Earthquake barging into Jake the Snake's fight

He tied up Jake using ring ropes, then forced him to watch him jumping on the snake. After a while, Jake escaped, then looked into the bag. His expression told it all - his snake has turned into a disgusting mass of goo, with the intestines all outside etc etc. Abandoned.

Demoliton vs Legion of Doom + Ultimate Warrior

Warrior, who was very influential in the match, did the final act. 0-1.

Hulk Hogan vs Sting (5-time world champ)

6/2/96: Hogan escaped Scorpion lock, then seemed to have lost it in 2nd lock, but then 4 guys came on to beat them both up. The Giant came in, but Hogan and Sting worked together to beat him up with a chair. Abandoned.

Nasty Boys (3-time world champ) vs Super Assassins

6/2/96: As a result of a well-timed cheat, 0-1.

Kanemoto Ohtani/Sonny Ono(?) vs American Males

6/2/96: 1-0.

Ric Flair (12-time world champ) vs Hulk Hogan

6/3/96: Hogan escaped submission lock by turning over. Got 2nd and 3rd wind even though Flair insistently worked on his left knee. Flair's resilience shone - probably the best in the world. Then one of the Four Horsemen came on while Flair lay helpless on the floor. He proceeded to beat up Hogan, sending him on the floor. Thinking Hogan's out, he turned round and raised his hand. But Hogan rose up and tapped this guy's back as if nothing had happened. Hogan floored the surprised guy. All of a sudden, the other 2 Horsemen came on and attacked Hogan. Hogan fought all of them off and exposed a metal ball on of the Horsemen had been holding. The umpire saw this and immediately disqualified Flair. Then the Giant came on holding up a chair. Out of nowhere, Randy Savage came on and hit him. Hogan turned round and hit him with the metal ball. Best bit of all: ALL four horsemen kneeling and begging Hogan not to hurt them. In the end, Hogan's knees seemed okay. 0-1.

Chris Benoit (one of Four Horsemen) vs Eddie Guerrero

6/3/96: Both are damn good and agile. Guerrero came up with an amazing array of moves but for every move Benoit had a counter. In the end, Guerrero almost had Benoit but as usual, another Horsemen came on to interfere, hence Benoit was disqualified. The tired Guerrero limped out. 0-1.

Big Bubba (aka Big Boss Man) vs Eddie Guerrero

13/3/96: Time limit was almost up when Bubba looked slightly fresher then Eddie. Bubba was just too heavy for Eddie's acrobatic moves to be effective. But then Bubba lifted and threw Eddie out of the ring onto the concrete and was promptly disqualified. He proceeded to continue beating up Eddie but Hacksaw Jim Duggan came to Eddie's rescue with his 2x4. 0-1.

Harlem Heat vs Nasty Boys

20/3/96: with a little help from their mutual enemy, the Blue Bloods who came on when the ref was knocked out: 1-0

Johnny B Badd vs Sgt. "The Bulldog" Pittman

20/3/96: Pittman was doing quite well, until the ref's lightning fast count. 1-0.

Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff vs Randy "Macho Man" Savage

20/3/96: Orndorff was pinned down for 3 after a "dive slam"(?). Was quite a close fight overall though. 0-1.

Bunkhouse Buck/Dirty Dick Slater (world tagteam champ) vs Blue Bloods

20/3/96: Abandoned.

Arn "The Enforcer" Anderson (of the 4 Horsemen) vs Sting (5-time world champ)

20/3/96: 0-1 by disqualification after another Horsemen came on (as usual). Ric Flair made a surprise appearance dressed casually but Sting refused to acknowledge his "gesture of peace".

Ric Flair vs Randy Savage (reigning world champ)

27/3/96: Actually a no-result after a gigantic battle. Both were running out of gas when Lex "The Total Package" Luger came on to beat up Savage and Sting came on to beat up Flair. Savage got the better of Luger but Sting made mincemeat out of Flair. Luger and Flair escaped out of the ring. Sting and Savage, also mutual enemies were timed out, hence Flair was declared world champ for the 12th time. 1-0.

Sting vs Sgt. Pittman

27/3/96: What a battle this was. Sting seemed to be heading for an upset defeat as The Bull used his expertise on the mat to weaken him. Then in a split second Sting used the Scorpion lock to force The Bulldog into submission. 1-0.

Johnny B Badd (reigning World TV Champ) vs Big Bubba (Big Boss Man)

10/4/96: A close match. JBB's title seemed to be under serious threat in the beginning when he took punishment after punishment. Then he recovered with some good moves (he's definitely more powerful than Guerrero - his punches shook the Big Bubba bad). Bubba was disqualified when Wall Street came on to beat up Badd. As usual Hacksaw Jim Duggan also appeared with his 2x4 to help JBB out. 1-0.

Johnny B Badd vs Brad (?) Anderson

21/8/96: 1-0. Punch in the mouth.

Nasty Boys vs Public Enemy

21/8/96: Enemy had a good start but soon the Nasties asserted their superiority & walked all over the Enemy. More like a brawling, not wrestling match. 1-0.

Cobra vs One Man Gang

21/8/96: Wrong approach to the match, trying to outstrength the Gang cost Cobra dearly. 0-1.

Harlem Heat vs Road Warriors

21/8/96: Extremely close match. As usual in a gigantic match-up like this, confusion reigned. Perhaps the Heat should've won this? 0-1.

Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff vs Steve "Dr. Death" Williams

These guys were out to kill each other. Every shot was incredibly vicious and delivered to cause the most pain. In the end Steve was disqualified for cheating. 1-0.
