Last week I finally bought one of the hottest selling DVD's in the world-the $1 Rodman Down Under DVD that is being sold at Wal Mart. Well I just watched it now and decided to torture all of you with my thoughts.
Vince Mancini and Ted DiBiase called the action from a studio, some unknown time after the actual event took place. This was proved during the opening match as two guys who are not Ted or Vince, were sitting behind a table talking into a microphone. Vince's explanation? It was the time keeper's table.
A video detailing the history (or at least the last 2 days) of the Curt Hennig-Dennis Rodman feud was shown, which included Rodman attacking Hennig at the pre-match press conference.
A video of the Road Warriors at the same press conference was then shown. Animal spoke of winning the "Australlian World Tag Team Championship", before being attacked by the champs, Public Enemy, who had a kitchen sink. I would have hated to be an innocent bystander at that press conference.
Road Warriors vs Public Enemy for the Australlian World Tag Titles
-Before the match began, Johnny Grunge took two steps and said "Let me tell you something..." The fans at ringside were shown, followed by a replay of Johnny Grunge taking two steps and saying "Let me tell you something..."
-About 2 seconds before the bell rang, we were informed this was a tables match.
-About 5 minutes in, Ted DiBiase finally comprehended the rules of the match.
-Unfortunately neither the referee nor the participants did, as PE and LOD traded several near falls.
-Vince informed us that LOD were "Bad boys from Chicago."...five times.
-I'm convinced Johnny Grunge screwed the company over on something, because Vince and Ted were merciless towards him on commentary.
-In case you care Animal speared Rocco Rock into Johnny Grunge and through a table to win the belts.
In between each match 3 sets of anorexic twins would dance. The crowd politely applauded...as they were leaving.
Hardcore Match
"The Hardcore Legend" The Barbarian vs Brute Force
-Screw every other bad name Ed Leslie has ever had. Brute Force may be the icing on the cake!
-Force's hair is white, silver, brown and blonde, with a bald spot thrown in.
-As Force went to the middle rope to recieve adulation from the crowd, Ted told us that you never turn your back on a veteran like The Barbarian. As he said that Barbarian did exactly the same thing.
-Barbarian hit Brute in the groin three times, which led to this exchange:
Ted: He has a hard head.
Vince: I sure hope he does!
I have yet to figure out who they were talking about.
-More commentary gems, as Brute Hulked Up, Vince informed us that it looked like he was shocked with an electrical current.
-Not wanting to be outdone, Ted's analysis on almost every move was either "It's over!" or "That's why I have two herniated discs!"
-Oh yeah, Barbarian won with a boot to the face.
Brandi Wine vs Sweet Destiny
-Brandi Wine came out with a 300 pound man named Sugar Daddy, who I could have sworn was sitting in the first row at the beginning of the show.
-Sweet Destiny was accompanied to the ring by the Special Guest Outside Referee, Aussie Joe. Joe's claim to fame is going 15 rounds with Muhammed Ali and having one more sign in the crowd for him then the women did (0).
-Vince told us, and I quote "Aussie Joe is out there to make sure Sugar Daddy interferes." Okay, if you say so. I don't believe you.
-I might just use all announcing quotes for this one, as within a minute the announcers went from calling this match "an athletic encounter" to "a cat fight" to "We don't degrade women." to "This will be a hair pulling fest." No the announcers were not arguing.
-Brandi Wine joined Sirelda as the only women to ever sell a low blow.
-Vince: "The referee making sure it's a legal choke hold."
-Vince: "This gives us a chance to watch wrestling."
-Me (on both occasions): What?
-Sugar Daddy tripped up Sweet Destiny, and Aussie Joe...did nothing. I guess Vince was right on that one.
-Aussie Joe eventually got into the ring...and took his shirt off. Why? I am still scratching my head on that one. Two minutes later Sugar Daddy got into the ring, only to eventually sell a right hand by Aussie Joe.
-Ted: A SUPLEX! WILL THAT BE ALL?
-Destiny won with a superplex.
-To further cement this promotion's position as Australlian WCW, Brandi kicked the ring on her way out and hurt her leg.
One Man Gang vs Tatanka for the International Championship
Sign of the night: Where is Akeem?
-One Man Gang wore a T-shirt that looked to say "One Man Bass" on the front and "Join the Chain Gang" on the back. Upon seeing this, the crowd began chanting "Cena Sucks!" (Just kidding)
-During the Anorexic Twins Dance, the turnbuckles went from red to powder blue.
-One Man Gang told the women in the audience to clean their underwear in the stands before throwing them at him, and to use a bar of soap to brush their teeth.
-(As Tatanka delivered knife edged chops)
Vince: He's chopping him like George Washington chopped down the cherry tree!
-The greatest moment of the entire show took place next. No, not an advertisement that Vince will personally refund my money. Gang was walking to the back pretending to walk out on the match, when he got hit in the head with a bottle. Then another bottle, and another bottle. Soon about 50 bottles were flying in his general direction. Gang rolled into the safety of the ring...and got pelted with more garbage.
-After a choppy edit, Gang took the advantage. However when he came off the ropes he missed a move. What was this high impact move that Tatanka moved out of the way of? I have no clue because the director decided to show two girls wearing nWo Wolfpack T-shirts in the front row instead.
-Late in the match Tatanka reversed an Irish Whip and sent Gang into the referee. This went unnoticed by Tatanka, as a minute later when he made a pinfall attempt he screamed at the referee to wake up. The announcers asked "What happened to the referee." And the cameraman decided to get his arm in the shot, as he pointed to the lateral press.
-Gang won the Belt after hitting Tatanka with brass knux.
World Title Match
Australlian Outback Rules
Curt Hennig vs Dennis Rodman
-Australlian Outback Rules means it's a Hardcore Match.
-There wasn't much, if anything. to make fun of in this match, as Hennig made Rodman look like a million bucks for 7 minutes, before pinning him to retain the title.
-Post Match Brawl saw Aussie Joe (who never put his shirt back on) and Brute Force (who was now dressed like a zebra) run in to break it up.
-Curt Hennig did an interview putting Rodman over, but saying that he could be anyone from any sport.
-With 17 minutes of DVD space left, the company decided "What the hell." And edited the show down to 17 minutes and replayed it at the end. I swear this was the best 17 minutes of the entire DVD, minus the OMG garbage incident.
Unless you need change for a larger bill, I strongly do NOT recommend buying this DVD.
