Getting back into the War Games match from WrestleWar ’92, Austin critiques his own work in the ring saying that his head was down too much, he looked too slow, and he didn’t get enough offence in in the initial 5-minutes of the match. He also says that his working punch wasn’t near good enough back in those days, and that was something that he’d correct years later in WWE.
He thought the match itself was fairly disjointed, and he thought the finish was rather lacklustre for a match of this stature. He informs that there was very little communication between the performers before the match, and this lack of attention to detail resulted in a spotty match in his opinion. It might have been a cool match for 1992, but it certainly wasn’t the ‘be all end all’ in terms of great matches.
Austin points out that Madusa was tough as nails as a performer, and she was respected and universally accepted by the boys. Seeing her climb up onto the top of the cage during this match was pretty incredible, and the steel lagged so much while she was up there that the performers in the ring were striking their head on the top of the cage.
