Uncensored ’96 and the Cage o’ Doom!
By Scott Keith on August 9, 2013
Scott –
I was looking for your rant on WCW BattleBowl '93 because it was on WWE On Demand (A Ron Simmons heel turn? A poor man's Tatanka named Charlie Norris? HUSTLER RIP FREAKIN' ROGERS??? Why don't I remember ANY of this!?) and came across your rant for Uncensored '96, which was freaking hilarious. It also reminded me of this story:
About ten years ago or so, my friend Mike and I were having an argument over what was the worst PPV main event ever. I said it was Diesel vs. Mabel at SummerSlam at '95 purely for the workrate, Mike said it was Hogan vs. Beefcake at Starrcade '94 because it was Starrcade. The argument got so heated that we went to none other than Dave Meltzer, who answered the question on his Wrestling Observer Live show.
Turns out, we were BOTH wrong – Meltzer decreed it was the Doomsday Cage match at Uncensored '96, because not only did you have Hogan and Savage against EIGHT people, but out of a team that included Jeep Swenson, Zeus, Meng & the Barbarian, who ends up doing the job? Yep, you guessed it – Ric Flair.
So, yeah, this was the worst PPV main event of all time.
I
gave it -***** so that's a tough point to argue against. I can certainly confirm that I was howling with laughter at the stupidity of it all while watching it live. Yes, I ORDERED THAT SHOW in 1996 for some reason. Even before the days I made good money reviewing shit like that! What the fuck was WRONG with me?!
