Thunder
Daytona Beach, Florida
Jan. 8th, 1998
Not the ending you’d expect given Savage was a big name but they did tie it into a story.
1 / 5
Crowd was a bit into Martel here. Quick and nothing special but also wasn’t unwatchable.
1.5 / 5
A few cool moves here but mostly just punches thrown before a finisher making this not even a 3 minute match.
1 / 5
A fine match here between two greats. Horrible ending and commentary was awful but the match itself was quick and fine.
2.5 / 5
Pretty much a boring squash.
.5 / 5
Mongo got a little offense in before this turned into typical Goldberg squash.
.5 / 5
Another short match here that just wasn’t great. Steiners looked good though.
1.5 / 5
This match had no redeeming moments. It was an awful gimmick match with a stipulation that meant nothing. It gets the lowest rating I’ve ever given a match as of writing this. The funniest part is reshowing this entire match during Thunders premiere where its over double in length to any match thus far.
0.1 / 5
This went a few minutes but really nothing happened. Then we run a distraction finish which was already used in another match tonight anyway.
.5 / 5
3 minutes for a title match where commentary talked about the NWO for over half the match anyway. Match itself was fine but with that little time they couldn’t do much let alone match a good title change match.
1.5 / 5
They made a big deal of Luger kicking out of Nortons finisher here but this was a 2 minute match where very little happened. Add in another post match attack by guys from earlier.
.5 / 5
DQ finish but at least we got 6 minutes of this slow sluggish match. Another post match run in as well which gets cut due to Thunder running over their TV time slot.
.5 / 5
