Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Steve Austin's WCW debut under the 'Stunning' gimmick—he'd be fired in 1995, reinvent himself in ECW, then become the biggest star in wrestling history.
Jim Herd's brief, disastrous WCW presidency (1988-1992) nearly killed the company before Eric Bischoff's reboot—this show captures his bizarre 'sports entertainment' vision at its most awkward.
