Hulkster must have been on Summer vacation. From the looks of this card (minus the last couple matches) this looks like an episode of WCW Saturday night. I'm guessing more focus was being put on Nitro around this time.

Makes since why it seems like a hyped up edition of WCW Saturday night, now

Uhhh, WCW was a suck fest at this point. Yes, there were SOME good things going on, like Savage vs Flair, Benoit, Guerrero, etc, but overall it was terrible. WWF was much better at this time. Benoit, Guerrero and Malenko were still in ECW when the GAB happened. They arrived in the fall of 1995, shortly after the debut of Nitro.

I've seen this one.
It's pretty tough to sit through after the opening Pillman/Wright match (which is one of my favorite matches).
It's neat to see an old Regal match, though.

I'm watching this now. I forgot all about the botch from WCW Commish Nick Bockwinkel, who didn't evem know what was their next PPV was called when booking Hogan vs. Vader.
I loved the look Tony Schiavone gave to the camera, then to Bobby Heenan.
Also, Arn Anderson's music ruled.

Interestingly, Hogan was left off this card and there was no WCW World title match. I wouldn't say it was common in WCW, but back in the day there were quite a few PPVs with no World Title match on it.
