Reviews

amanwhorocks 1. Hair Match: Paul Ellering Vs. Teddy Long - Manager's matches are always bad, but this was short at least. 5/10 2. Us. Tag Titles match: Champs-Flyin' Brian/Z-man Vs. Midnight Express - I don't expect that high quality match. New champs. I Give credit where credit is due 8/10 3. Rock 'n Roll Express Vs. Fabulous Freebirds 5.5/10 4. World Tag Titles Match: Doom Vs Champs-Steiner Brothers - Excellent match, Scotty has skills. New Champs! 7/10 5. World Heavyweight Championship: Lex Luger (US. Champ) Vs. Ric Flair (World Heavyweight Champ) - Another main event Flair Luger w. bad ending 5.5/10 Who got that brilliant idea to put Robocop on card... -5/10Important part of Capital Combat was another face push for Sting... I like "Crow" Sting but this "Surfer" gimmick sometimes makes me sick.

kwaynecrider You've got Ric Flair and Lex Luger for the World Heavyweight Title in a cage that gets bloody, what could be better? The Fabulous Freebirds fighting the Rock-n-Roll Express in a leather strap match, albeit the straps played a very minuscule part in the match. You have an up and comer Mean Mark Callous, better known as the Undertaker, facing a nobody in Johnny Ace. In the first match on the card the Road Warriors were billed as under-carders by competing in a six man tag team match with their partner Norman (Bastion Booger) versus Cactus Jack Manson (Mick Foley), Bam Bam Bigelow, and Kevin Sullivan. This match was a huge disappointment for me since I am an avid Road Warriors fan. What a disrespect to this legendary tag team. Finally we have the Steiner Brothers against Doom, with "Peanut Head" Teddy Long at Ringside. This match was probably second in interest to Ric Flair and Lex Luger, in that it was fierce competition throughout. There were Steinerlines, Frankensteiners and Spike pile-drivers in the mix. Even though Doom double teamed to win, their win was a legitimate one. Overall this card was great with the exception of Robocop defending Sting against the Four Horsemen, why in the world did the NWA do this, what a horror!!!

Joseph P. Ulibas Capital Combat (1990) was the card that featured Ric Flair defending "Big Goldie" against the ultimate "choker" Lex Lugar. The two settle their differences within the confines of a steel cage!! This is to keep the Four Horsemen from beating the snot out of Flexy Lexy and helping the "Nature Boy" keep his precious belt. Sting was supposed to receive his long awaited title shot against Ric Flair but a near crippling beatdwon from the Horsemen put the Stinger out of action and into traction. But he ignored the doctors and showed up at the event (in crutches) and was giving his usual promo when the Horsemen and newest member Sid Vicious showed up and they were about puke him out again until Robocop showed up.Robocop? It's as lame as it sounds. The horsemen ran off with their tail between their legs. Afraid of some bad no named actor in a plastic suit. Everyone was selling Robocop as if he was a real person instead of a character in a movie. It was bad, real bad. Even the great announcer Gordon Solie was hyping up Robocop. This act of sell-out and stupidity ruined a decent card. It's even on the home video!!If you can make it through the lame Robocop segments then the event is watchable but the video tape is heavily edited, sadly the Robocop segments are all there.Recommended because Ric Flair puts on his usual one man show.

Big Movie Fan Twelve years has elapsed since this event took place but in my mind it is the most action packed card that WCW ever promoted.There is an awesome tag match between the Steiner Brothers and Doom and an exciting main event between Lex Luger and Ric Flair. We even get a guest appearance from movie star Robocop. All the matches are superb.The true WCW is now defunct. The WWF brought WCW in mid 2001 but the current WCW is not it's own organisation-the WWF can do with it what it wishes. Watching this card brings back great memories. I believe 1990-1992 were the best years for WCW as the emphasis was on technical wrestling rather than the soap opera type wrestling we see today. I strongly recommend any fans of the late WCW to see this card if they haven't already.
