FEEDBACK: WCW Bash at the Beach '98 (Rewind-A-Wai)

This was probably WCW’s hottest week in its history. They’ve just come off crowning Goldberg on Nitro and then have one of the most purchased PPV’s they ever did. It’s a shame Rodman came into the match in a state as I think they probably could have gotten a better performance out of him, he did OK the year before in a tag and that was with Luger & the Giant. I think the bigger shock on this show is how much Bret had already fallen by this point, the guy was a huge signing and was just challenging for the TV title on this show. But that point can go to many wrestlers on this show, it’s a stacked roster and many felt like they were just turning a wheel. The Giant was a 2 time world champ and he’s wrestling a random American football guy on this. But I’ve just finished listening to the Death of WCW book so that may have swayed my view on this. Saying all that, I did enjoy some of the stuff on this show and was a big fan of the Eddie/Chavo match, I even liked the comedy of Chavo tapping to a handshake so that he was fresh for Eddie.
