8 Weirdest Wrestling Matches From Every Major Promotion
4. WCW: The Mega Powers Vs. The Alliance To End Hulkamania - Uncensored 1996
This is more intimidating than starting an undergraduate dissertation. WCW normalised Pole matches, for f*ck's sake.
Really, the weirdest, most off-brand match in WCW canon was Bret Hart vs. Chris Benoit's tribute to Owen Hart on 4 October 1999; a raw, technical powerhouse of a match with volleying, grief-driven stiffness, it took place deep into the inexorable LOLWCW period, but for 27 emotional, masterful minutes, Hart and Benoit operated beyond and transcended the chaos.
But really, the weirdest match in WCW history was probably the one with the multiple cages, frying pans and Arn Anderson-as-mystical ninja. Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage faced the 'Alliance To End Hulkamania' - comprised of the Dungeon of Doom and some erstwhile Four Horsemen, who were somehow the Beaver Boys to the Dark Order in this scenario - at Uncensored 1996. Flair and Anderson applied stereo leg locks to our intrepid heroes, but nobody reacted, because they were looking at a still image in almost complete darkness. The dynamic, production, performances: everything was super super, sh*tty, and that's before Hogan attempted to kill Kevin Sullivan and a jobbing actor outranked the greatest professional wrestler of all time.
In the end, The Booty Man arrived on the scene to even the odds - it was now eight versus three (!) - by handing out frying pans for use as weapons. Lex Luger used a weighted glove to hit Randy Savage. Savage ducked, but Luger didn't "accidentally" hit Flair.
He paused, and did it anyway, presumably as confused as every f*cker else.
