Chairshot Classics: WCW Capital Combat 1990 – Return Of Robocop

Published

on

The nation’s capital braces itself as WCW wages battle for Capital Combat 1990! The company’s hottest star is still on the mend as Sting recovers from knee surgery, but he’s found an unlikely (and absurd) ally to help him fend off The Four Horsemen! With this show being primarily remembered for the unusual Robocop 2 cross-promotion, does the rest of the card house any hidden gems? Let’s find out!

Match #1: The Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal) & Norman The Lunatic w/Paul Ellering vs. Kevin Sullivan, Cactus Jack & Bam Bam Bigelow w/Oliver Humperdink
Norman tosses some t-shirts to the crowd. Animal and Cactus get the match started. Collar and elbow and they run the ropes. A few leap frogs before Animal power slams Jack. Irish whip by Animal and he catches Jack in the face with a boot. Hawk is tagged in and delivers a big clothesline. Jack regroups and tags in Bigelow. Collar and elbow tie up and Hawk is pushed to the corner. Hawk moves away from a right and goes on the attack. Bigelow fights back but Hawk hits him with a standing dropkick. Sullivan is tagged in.

They try to triple team Hawk in their corner but he escapes and sends Sullivan for a clothesline. Sullivan is quick to go back to the corner and tag Jack back in. On the other side, it’s Norman’s turn. Irish whip and a big clothesline from Norman. He follows it with a leg drop and a headbutt. Bigelow is tagged back in, and Norman decides it’s best for Animal to take him on. Animal can’t move the big man on a shoulder tackle. They run the ropes and Bigelow misses a headbutt. Animal clotheslines Bigelow over the top rope but he lands on his feet. Bigelow is fired up as he meets Hawk in back in the ring. A quick exchange and Jack is back in.

Bigelow tries to help his partner by whipping him into his opponent but Hawk moves and Jack tumbles to the outside. Hawk gives chase and clotheslines him off the apron. On the outside, Hawk chops Jack down and then sends him over the guardrail. Hawk rolls back into the ring and tags in Norman. Jack slowly follows back into the ring and tags in Sullivan. They tie up and Sullivan is whipped to the corner. The veteran gets his boot up before Norman can take advantage. A double foot stomp by Sullivan and Bigelow is back in. Big vertical suplex on an even bigger man and they get a two count. Sullivan is tagged back in and he chops away with some forearms.

Jack is tagged back in he tries to cut him down with some rights, kicks and a double axe handle. Cactus Jack tries a neck breaker while Norman is dangling over the top rope and he tumbles to the floor with no regard for his own safety. Sullivan is tagged back in. He goes to work with rights and kicks. He antagonizes the Road Warriors as he stays on Norman. Bigelow is tagged back in and the crowd gets behind the Lunatic. Back body drop from Bigelow followed by a few head butts. Tag is made to Jack and he stomps the big man. Sullivan and Bigelow take some cheap shots while the ref’s back is turned. Snapmare followed by a knee job from Jack.

Norman reverses the ride to the ropes and he delivers a clothesline. A tag is made to Animal who catches Jack with a big drop kick and a high shoulder block. Sullivan and Bigelow prevent the cover and Hawk and Norman take issue with it. All 6 men are matched up with an opponent in a brawl. Amid the melee, Hawk comes off the top turnbuckle with a flying clothesline on Sullivan and he picks up the pin.
Winners: The Road Warriors & Norman The Lunatic (Animal/Top Rope Clothesline)

  • EA’s Take: Weird match with a lot of fast tags with Bigelow and Cactus giving some of the best work with everyone else basically being brawlers. Sullivan had been putting together a faction and Norman The Lunatic was the object of their ire. This is of course a continuation from WrestleWar where Cactus went one-on-one with Norman, leading to him joining Sullivan’s Slaughterhouse. Bam Bam has just recently returned and began aiding the group, but he’s going to be back out the door again here soon to go back to New Japan.

Match #2: Johnny Ace vs. Mean Mark w/Teddy Long
Mean Mark lectures Ace and they get into a shoving match. Side headlock is applied by Ace. Johnny can’t move Mark after attempted shoulder blocks. Ace can’t hip toss him and Mark lands a clothesline. He can’t follow it up with an elbow drop and instead, Ace hits a standing dropkick. Mark heads down to the floor and Ace flies over the top rope and takes him down with a splash. Mark is back in the ring and grabs a wristlock. Ace reverses it and works on Mark’s shoulder with some elbows. Ace hangs on but Mark walks him to the corner. Irish whip by Mark but Ace moves.

Another Irish whip but Ace climbs the turnbuckles and hits a high cross body. He can only get a 2 count. Arm drag takedown works into an armbar by Ace. Mean Mark nails him with a right and takes control by kicking him to the floor. Teddy Long takes some cheap shots before Mark gives chase on the floor. Mark rams Ace’s head on the steps and rolls back into the ring. Ace gets back on the apron but receives a quick right and falls back to the floor. Ace tries rolling in this time, but Mean Mark holds him up for a huge vertical suplex. A 2 count off a lateral press for Mark. Kick to the midsection by Mark.

While the ref lectures him, Teddy Long takes another cheap shot. Ace follows Long to the floor asking if HE wants to fight. Long runs away and Mark stalks his opponent down, axing him on the back. Mark rolls Ace back into the ring, sends him for the ride and hits a big clothesline for a 2 count. Mark grabs a reverse chinlock on Ace. The ref checks Ace but cannot get 3 drops. Ace works his way to his feet, but his comeback is met with a boot to the face. Power slam and a high elevation leg drop by Mark and he gets a 2 count on an over confident pin attempt. He goes for another power slam, but Ace surprises him with an inside cradle for a two count.

An aggravated Mark goes back on the attack. Ace tries another comeback. He sends Mark for the ride but cannot land a drop kick. Mark chokes Ace on the mat until the ref breaks it up. Ace fights back some more, but Mark moves from the corner after an Irish whip. Wristlock by Mark and he clubs Ace on the shoulder. Ace is hung up on the ropes and Long takes another cheap shot as Mark distracts the referee. Mark attempts a back body drop but Ace kicks him in the face and lands a standing dropkick. Ace jumps up on the middle turnbuckle and monkey flips Mean Mark.

Ace hits a clothesline from the left side and he heads for the top turnbuckle. He dives for a flying clothesline but Mark moves. Mean Mark lands a heart bunch before going to the top turnbuckle, walks across the top rope and lands a flying elbow drop to pick up the win.
Winner: Mean Mark (Ropewalk Diving Elbow Drop)

  • EA’s Take: Fun to watch this match knowing that 25 years later, Johnny Ace (John Laurinaitis) was a senior producer for WWE and Mean Mark would soon after become one of the most iconic figures in professional wrestling history. He used the move both here and at certain times as Taker, but I always chuckle at the him walking the ropes as a finishing move. It’s just  fun to see a dude who is pushing 7 feet tall walk across the rope, but does that action somehow make the elbow drop stronger? I jest. You can clearly see the potential in the guy though and he joins the list of young talent WCW gave a shot to, but didn’t know what to do with him.

Attitude Of Aggression #298- Summer Slam ’94

Kinny KIlla joins the Big Five Project as the guys cover Summer Slam ’94, including a watch along of one of the greatest Steel Cage matches of all time!

Attitude of Aggression

The Big Five Project returns…and so does Kinny Killa as one of the best friends of the show makes a special guest appearance to cover Summer Slam ’94! Emanating from the brand-new United Center in Chicago, the 1994 edition of WWE’s summer extravaganza was an exceptionally good event that featured Razor Ramon recapturing the Intercontinental Championship, a very surprising heel turn, and one of the best women’s matches anywhere in 1994. The highlight, of course, was the epic Steel Cage match for the WWF Championship between Owen Hart and his brother Bret “The Hitman” Hart and the guys do a watch along of that match here. Is it the greatest Steel Cage match of all time, as Dave suggests, or does the match go too long? All that plus the return of The Undertaker as he takes on…. The Undertaker? It is as ridiculous as it sounds, but we have all the details for you here, on another epic installment of the Big Five Project.

Attitude Of Aggression #297- The Big Five Project: King of the Ring ’94

The Big Five Project heads to Baltimore for the coronation of Owen Hart as the King of the Ring for 1994, plus Bret Hart defends the WWF title against Diesel!

Published

Attitude of Aggression

The Big Five Project returns to crown a new King of the Ring. In 1994, on the heels of WrestleMania X, Owen Hart found himself still in the shadow of his brother, Bret “The Hitman” Hart. Although he beat Bret at WrestleMania, it was the Hitman who left as the WWF Champion. On this night, in Baltimore, Maryland, Owen took a major step in carving his own identity as he won three matches to emerge as the King of the Ring for 1994! Meanwhile, brother Bret had his hands full with a title defense against the reigning Intercontinental Champion, Diesel. Throw in a tag title defense by The Headshrinkers and a main event featuring two guys over the age of 40, and this first PPV of the “New Generation” era was one to remember. So, we invite you to join us for a tremendous recap of King of the Ring ’94 and the birth of the King of Harts!
