although I did like some of the matches he had when they finally put the NWA belt on him. the match against 2 Cold Scorpio at Clash of the Champions and the match at Superbrawl where he beat Muta to win the belt were both very good.
You're right - great great matches but I think they were few and far between at this point.
Both Muta and Scorpio were great wrestlers but they too were broken down at this point of directionless....having said that, so was WCW! As you say great matches but the stories behind them poor, it;s like I couldn't take them seriously as main eventers like I would Flair - don't know if this makes sense!
No, you're right. It didn't help that they were lower on the cards as well. It's like "he's a world champion, but this other guy is THE world champion." Well then, what's the bloody point of it?
Everytime WCW started to get a decent direction or something worthwhile going, they'd screw it up. WCW could've fucked up a wetdream. heh.
Which makes WWE's constant repetition of their mistakes all the more sad.
