what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Live from Washington, DCAttendance: 7,500Your commentators are Jim Ross & Bob CaudleCactus Jack, Bam Bam Bigelow & Kevin Sullivan (W/Sir Oliver Humperdink) Vs The Roadwarriors & Norman The LunaticNorman The Lunatic is Bastion Booger. The Roadwarrios & Norman win. This was much better than I thought it was gonna be. I wouldn't call it a good match, but it certainly had some exciting moments and it was fast paced more often than not.**1/4Mean Mark Callous (W/Teddy Long) Vs Johnny AceJohnny Ace is John Laurinaitis and Mean Mark is that fellow known as The Undertaker. Callous wins with an elbow drop from the top. Good god, this was boring. Not only boring, but LONG. They could have easily trimmed this a little bit. The Undertaker wouldn't really come into his own as a wrestler until 96/97. *1/2Mike Rotunda & Tommy Rich Vs The Samoan Swat TeamThe Samoan Swat Team wins. This match felt like an Iron Man match, only with nothing but boredom. If you're looking to cure your insomnia, this match is worth considering. It's nothing technically bad, just extremely boring.*1/4Hair Vs Hair MatchTeddy Long Vs Paul ElleringFor god's sakes! Please let this be quick. Teddy Long is wearing boxing gear.... Ellering wins by nailing Teddy Long with a loaded glove. Teddy gets his hair cut after the match. This was utterly pointless in every way. This was designed to be a comedy match, but it failed miserably at that. I'm not a Scrooge either. It's just not funny.DUDUnited States Tag Team ChampionshipBrian Pillman & The Z-Man (Tom Zenk) (C) Vs The Midnight Express (W/Jim Cornette)Jim Cornette is locked inside a cage. The Midnight Express win the Tag Team titles. This is more like it! This was a really good match with both teams on top of their game. It went back and forth nicely with several great near falls.***1/2Next, is one of the most unintentionally hilarious segments in wrestling. The Four Horsemen lock Sting inside a personal cage. Robocop meanders down to ringside VERY slowly and rips the cage door of to free Sting. I give JR all the credit in the world for having the guts to give it his all and play it straight during this segment. The Junkyard Dog makes his return to the NWA. He and Jim Cornette almost get into a physical confrontation after Cornette tries to stir things up with JYD. Corporal Punishment MatchThe Rock & Roll Express Vs The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin)This is a variation of a strap match. The Rock & Roll Express win. This match heated up in the last 5 minutes, but its way too inconsistent overall. Just when you're getting into it, it would run into some boredom. The straps ended up being kinda pointless.**Tag Team ChampionshipThe Steiner Brothers Vs Doom (Ron Simmons & Butch Reed) (W/Teddy Long)Doom wins the titles after a double team maneuver. This was a solid match for the most part. I expected The Steiner's to carry this match, but Doom actually held their own. Depending on how the cage match goes, it'll probably be the 2nd or best match on the card.**3/4World Heavyweight Championship (Thunderdome Cage Match)Ric Flair (C) (W/Woman) Vs Lex LugerLuger has the title won until Ole Anderson runs down and fiddles with the cage switch to allow Barry Windham to run in and attack Luger to cause the DQ. This main event was a tad underwhelming. Flair bled like stuffed pig and put on a good show like usual. It just felt like there was something missing. It didn't feel epic to me. For those that care, El Gigante (Giant Gonzalez) made his debut here.**3/4Well this wasn't a bad PPV, but it wasn't exactly good either. The Main event was decent, but underwhelming overall. The best match on the card is The Midnight Express Vs Brian Pillman & Tom Zenk. Robocp was heavily promoted, but barely featured.5.5/10 overall

1. Hair Match: Paul Ellering Vs. Teddy Long - Manager's matches are always bad, but this was short at least. 5/10 2. Us. Tag Titles match: Champs-Flyin' Brian/Z-man Vs.

World Tag Titles Match: Doom Vs Champs-Steiner Brothers - Excellent match, Scotty has skills. New Champs! 7/10 5. World Heavyweight Championship: Lex Luger (US. Champ) Vs. Ric Flair (World Heavyweight Champ) - Another main event Flair Luger w. bad ending 5.5/10 Who got that brilliant idea to put Robocop on card... -5/10Important part of Capital Combat was another face push for Sting... I like "Crow" Sting but this "Surfer" gimmick sometimes makes me sick.

Capital Combat (1990) was the card that featured Ric Flair defending "Big Goldie" against the ultimate "choker" Lex Lugar. The two settle their differences within the confines of a steel cage!! This is to keep the Four Horsemen from beating the snot out of Flexy Lexy and helping the "Nature Boy" keep his precious belt. Sting was supposed to receive his long awaited title shot against Ric Flair but a near crippling beatdwon from the Horsemen put the Stinger out of action and into traction. But he ignored the doctors and showed up at the event (in crutches) and was giving his usual promo when the Horsemen and newest member Sid Vicious showed up and they were about puke him out again until Robocop showed up.Robocop? It's as lame as it sounds. The horsemen ran off with their tail between their legs. Afraid of some bad no named actor in a plastic suit. Everyone was selling Robocop as if he was a real person instead of a character in a movie. It was bad, real bad. Even the great announcer Gordon Solie was hyping up Robocop. This act of sell-out and stupidity ruined a decent card. It's even on the home video!!If you can make it through the lame Robocop segments then the event is watchable but the video tape is heavily edited, sadly the Robocop segments are all there.Recommended because Ric Flair puts on his usual one man show.

Twelve years has elapsed since this event took place but in my mind it is the most action packed card that WCW ever promoted.There is an awesome tag match between the Steiner Brothers and Doom and an exciting main event between Lex Luger and Ric Flair. We even get a guest appearance from movie star Robocop. All the matches are superb.The true WCW is now defunct. The WWF brought WCW in mid 2001 but the current WCW is not it's own organisation-the WWF can do with it what it wishes. Watching this card brings back great memories. I believe 1990-1992 were the best years for WCW as the emphasis was on technical wrestling rather than the soap opera type wrestling we see today. I strongly recommend any fans of the late WCW to see this card if they haven't already.
