Ooh, that was a young Steve Austin, and this is a young Buff Bagwell.

(If you're a #wrestling fan and missed the start of this match, but are interested in seeing it it is on youtube and the internet archive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeLmMOsUlk8

This is from the July 11 1992 episode of WCW worldwide, and shows how hard WCW fumbled the bag in the early 90s prior to the rise of the NWO.)

Stone Cold and Man Kind would go on to be two of *The* biggest names in wrestling. Cactus Jack/Man Kind was Dynamite in the ring, and Steve Austin was already doing well, although he hadn't found the bad boy gimmick that would put him over the top.

The lineup of this match was absolutely brilliant.

But Windham wins by pinfall, very easy very clean, and almost entirely unearned.

They were trying to set up a rivalry, but Windham just couldn't carry it.

(This is the same company that, a few months later, would debut Kevin Nash as, no joke, the wizard of oz. Just fumble after fumble.)

Oh shit, that was DDP against Buff Bagwell early on in that broadcast.

I recognized Buff, but I completely glossed over the fact that it was DDP.

That's what I get for only half paying attention while I work.
