I really wish I had a set of just the Dangerous Alliance stuff. More than that I wish I had all that good WCW that WWE has on the Network that I missed when I was a kid, thinking that Turner was supposed to be second rate. ?

There's a comp out there. I know a guy.

I'd put Rude's 1992 up against anyone else's best year and feel good about the comparison. 

It's too bad that it didn't end in a WCW Heavyweight Championship reign because of injury.

That whole Rude/Steamboat feud is fire. 

Ricky Steamboat vs. Rick Rude's Iron Man match at WCW Beach Blast 1992 is the best match in the gimmick's history.

Man, I'd put Zbyszko dead last.  I know his stalling was legendary but that works when you are in the arena live and have nowhere to go.  As a little kid, I can't tell you how many ESPN shows I switched channels on once I figured out that Larry was going to spend five minutes stalling.  And sometimes I didn't go back.  And he really did seem to spend the 80s living off the Bruno angle.

Austin, Eaton, Anderson, Rude, Zbyszko.  If this is all-inclusive, Bobby Eaton in Memphis (and World Class) destroys Arn's pre-Crockett career.  

Larry's legacy won't be drawing houses, that I'm fairly certain of.

Have you see Joey Janela vs David Starr from July this year? Totally different style in that it's a 2019 holy shit spot match (no DQ/ Countout, 60 minutes), but a case could be made that it outdoes Rude and Steamboat. Depending on which style you prefer. It's on the internet for free. Look in 2019 matches thread, last page.

Does anybody know the contract status of Chris Hero, or Cassius Ono, and Cesaro?  These guys have to be two of the all time most misused talents in the long terrible history of titan sports.  Obviously I, like most, look forward to the day they make a move elsewhere.

Cheers for the recommendation. I'll check that out.

One of the best Jarrett matches I've seen that hasn't been mentioned yet is the one against Jay Lethal from TNA TV. Very good "traveling champion" style match with a great finish.

I liked the OTT Jeff Jarrett vs. Raven TNA match in May 2003 but Jarrett shouldn't have gone over. Monty Brown is another that comes to mind.

Oh man...when Hero left NXT the first time he had just an amazing indy run.  I can't blame the guy for taking the money instead of the grind on what's surely the downside of his career, but he's one of my all time favorites and I selfishly wish he'd have one more set of indy matches.

At the time, I'd rank the DA

Rude

Austin

Arn

Bobby

Larry Z

Think about it... Steve Austin two years into the business is up there with guys who collectively had FIFTY-FIVE years of ring experience between them at that point is amazing.

I am totally agreed on this. Rude getting cocky and choking victory away is amazing.

Actually, my two favorite WCW matches ever both happened in this year: Rude/Steamboat Iron Man and Sting/Vader King of Cable. 

Yeah, it's been four or five years, time to go back to YouTube and watch a bunch of 1992 WCW over the next couple of weeks.

WCW was so good in the early to mid 90s. Then they signed that baldness denying tangerine skinned racist and he ruined everything.

Those are mine in WCW. I've always felt the best Sting vs. Vader match was at Starrcade 1992.
