Arn Anderson Vs Steven Regal - WCW Superbrawl... by WrestlingElite Pt. 2

This is a match to watch if you want to see two serious professionals work the kind of old-fashioned match we don't see a whole lot of anymore. in an era of sanitized big box wrestling, where titles mean less than they maybe ever have, this match is the ultimate palate cleanser. From Michael Buffer announcing the combatants with gravitas and the kind of personal facts you would never have realized, to both men fighting like crazy for a title with a rich history, they clearly understand that this is a match that MEANS something.

And then the match actually begins. Watch how Arn Anderson works the arm. Watch how every chance he gets, he goes right back to the spot he knows he has weakened. And then watch a match from big-box wrestling today. People don't work weak spots as well as they used to anymore on the big-box wrestling. Is this because no one is allowed the time, or is that one of those things that have been scrubbed out of those shows due to over-reliance on skits? I'm not sure. And frankly, I don't much care. I just want you to watch this.
