WWF because back then, I wouldn't have care about the Japanese guys. Now... I would probably watch Starrcade first just to see the Japanese guys.

WWF. Would have no interest in the World Cup.

Missed the last month. But ww3 95 for me. Love a battle royal and remember as a kid being very interested in the 3 rings 3 giants thing. To be fair that was a disappointment
For December though the streak ends. IYH wins. But not on the match is did for most. I really wanted to see the casket match and Ahmed. No interest or understanding of the world cup of wrestling at that age

Starrcade 95. I watched the lead up, the Sting/Luger saga was interesting to me and the fact other promotions were taking on WCW.

I would have voted Starrcade last time, but WWF would have won the voting regardless. God, that's an insane amount of Sonny Onoo on one show, though, may well be a record for the most matches managed by one guy. Hope they gave him a big check for that.
WWF this time for me. I saw this Superbrawl ages ago, and I recall being really bored.

Superbrawl. Back to the overwhelming star power of WCW.

I'd have gone WWF. Waltman/Razor, Diesel/Bret in a Cage and Owen/Shawn would have sounded amazing on paper. Alas, the first two are letdowns. That Owen/Shawn match is great though.
Flair/Savage would have probably interested me, but I'd have put more money on that WWF card.

probably would've gone with the WWF back then...
Owen vs Shawn and Nash vs Bret were interesting to me
but at the same time I was a huge Hulkamaniaiac as a kid and loved the Macho Man so...

This is the closest one yet for me. Both look pretty good but I think I'd lean towards WCW with the tag title and cage matches.

WCW SuperBrawl wins this one.
I was REALLY burned out on DDP vs. Badd, but this card has some really cool things that I would want to see. Return of the Road Warriors. Sting and Luger in the tag division was really interesting. Sullivan vs. Pillman and the whole Horsemen vs. DoD war that was heating up. Both main events.
WWF IYH has got Bret vs. Diesel, but beyond that it looks like Monday Night Raw.

God, that's an insane amount of Sonny Onoo on one show, though, may well be a record for the most matches managed by one guy. Hope they gave him a big check for that. That was probably the main plan, not so much showcase the foreign talent but get Eric's buddy Sonny a big paycheck on Ted Turner's expense and it happened to work out to be a neat theme show. Sonny tried to work a promoter like crazy a few years ago trying to get perks from him during an autograph signing Wrestlemania weekend including tickets to Wrestlemania for he, Muta and their families. Maybe for the best the did Starrcade that way otherwise it would be another DDP/Badd match, Nasty Boys versus a team they've been wrestling for months and similar. And looking at that Super Brawl card, I'm shocked One Man Gang was around that long. I always thought he was done not much longer after Starrcade.

I went with Superbrawl over IYH this time.
DDP/Badd was really starting to wear thin at this point but they still had a good match, I liked the storyline with face Sting and heel Luger teaming up against Harlem Heat and The Road Warriors.

Tough one, both shows have intriguing matches but I'm going with Superbrawl but only just.
At this stage however, I would be wanting something different from WCW moving forward.

Probably would have gone with WCW but it’s getting closer. Had to really look at both cards and if the WWF had a few more guys that I cared about they would have gotten it

On a side note (Didn't think it's worth starting a new thread over) but on the UK Silver Vision release, I originally thought that they cut a Gold Dust segment out because he wasn't on the main show but on the recap video at the end of the show, he was featured.
At the time, I thought that they cut his segment out because it was too risque and didn't want to get a 15 or 18 certificate.
The only 2 previous 15 rated WWE Videos in the UK at the time was Summerslam 1988 and In Your House V

I may be the only person in the world to say this. Though I would've gone wcw regardless because of the cage matches and I was a kid.
Having said that seeing Loch Ness on the main even pre-show would've sold the show to me because as I said in previous votes I was still a little hulkamaniac and I would've been so scared of the size of Loch Ness and would've wanted to make sure hogan got past him
