Austin and Bauer agree that the finish of this bout was anti-climatic, and Austin feels that the babyfaces needed to stand tall in the middle of the ring at the end of the match. Having all the heels standing in the ring to end the show was the wrong decision in his opinion, but Bauer points out that WCW always seemed to have an issue with the babyfaces standing tall.
Austin didn’t notice the issues that were present in this match while he was working it because he was a green competitor, and he was simply trying to get through the motions. Looking back now, this match simply doesn’t hold up to 2017’s standards in his opinion. He’d give the match a generous 3/5 grade based on a 1992 scale, but on today’s scale, 2.5 would probably be more accurate. Bauer agrees, grading the match 2.5/5.
That sums up this week’s episode of The Steve Austin Show. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
