10 Amazing Hidden Gems From WWE Superstars Of Wrestling
1. The Madness Of King Vince
Any episode of WWE Superstars from 1992 provides a window in the unravelling mind of a man watching his finances hit the wall, his freedom put at risk by a potential government trial, and his organisation lacking in the supremely powerful identity it once so effortlessly assumed.
The final pre-Raw product of The Chairman's life never feels overtly dated because half of it doesn't even feel particularly of the time it occupies anyway. Max Moon is a horrifically misjudged take on something other-worldly, The Ultimate Warrior feels more from the last decade than he did when he was in it, Papa Shango is f*ck-knows-what and even the tried-and-tested Undertaker finds his monsters of the week trying to literally kill (The Berzerker) and eat (Kamala) him before he polishes them off like every other one that stepped to him before Mankind.
Randy Savage holds the belt for half the year then loses it off air to Ric Flair. Who in turn loses it off air to Bret Hart. Who in turn defends it on every single television taping to try and get it back over after a year of neglect.
It's awful, it's awesome, and at long last it's available to assess.
