Winners: ‘The Natural’ Dustin Rhodes & Barry Windham (Windham/Clothesline)

  • EA’s Take: I don’t know if it’s a matter of teams working multiple 18-20 minute matches with little time in between, but the show is really lacking spark right now. Nothing too noteworthy to say here other than Rhodes and Windham are being built up as very plausible winners of the tournament. They probably wanted to please their friends over at NJPW by giving Hase and Hashimoto a win earlier in the night, but this is the spot in the tournament where Rhodes and Windham should have faced Rude and Austin.

Winner and NEW WCW World Heavyweight Champion: Big Van Vader (Powerbomb)

  • EA’s Take: Vader made a more full-time commitment to WCW in 1992 and there is no better way to establish yourself as a top, monster heel and get some serious heat than to knock off Sting. I’m not sure if this had anything to do with the decision to put Vader over, but I’m almost positive Sting was dealing with a legitimate rib injury. Vader looks very strong, but The Stinger essentially goes down thanks to his own move, so it was a good way to drop the belt and make a brand new, legitimate top guy for WCW.

Attitude Of Aggression #299- The Big Five Project: Survivor Series ’94

The Big Five Project is back for Survivor Series’ 94, featuring Bob Backlund’s shocking victory over Bret Hart, plus Undertaker’s revenge!

Published

Attitude of Aggression

The Big Five Project returns to bring 1994 to an end as the guys cover Survivor Series ’94. As 1994 came to an end, the winds of change continued to sweep through the WWF and that was highly evident on a November evening in San Antonio. A better event than the year before, Survivor Series ’94 featured the break-up of Shawn Michaels and Diesel, a feud that would extend all the way to WrestleMania XI. Meanwhile, Survivor Series ’94 would see a shocking WWF Championship title change as Bob Backlund, with a huge assist from Owen Hart, would dethrone Bret “Hitman” Hart in an unforgettable, emotionally charged, and highly controversial match. Thanks to Bret’s mother, Mr. Backlund became the oldest WWF Champion in history (at the time) and Owen Hart showed us all just how low he would stoop to screw his brother over. Add in some solid Survivor Series matches, a special appearance by Chuck Norris, and The Undertaker exacting a measure of revenge against Yokozuna and we are left with a very solid PPV to close out 1994! We have all the details for you here, on another epic installment of the Big Five Project.

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!

Published

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.
