The Vault #6: Capital Combat 1990


Listen Later

On this episode of The Vault, Shawn is joined by Logan and Shiff to dive into the wonderfully weird world of WCW Capital Combat 1990 – aka "The Return of Robocop", aka  "How Many Tag Matches Can We Cram Into One Night?"

Shawn was there live and he’s got stories. Spoiler: Robocop doesn't wrestle, but he does bend some "steel" bars.

The gang breaks down:

  • Lex Luger vs. Ric Flair in a cage match with all the drama and none of the clean finishes.

  • The Road Warriors' last hurrah in WCW for a while – and surprisingly go out with a bang.

  • A tag team overload that had some long ass matches and odd pairings, balanced with two bangers.

  • So. Many. Promos. And Segments. Need an intermission? Too bad, here’s Gordon Solie being miserable and accosted by purple fog machines.

    Whether you’re here for the debut of El "Lazertron" Gigante, Captain Mike Routnda, A hair match with two bald guys, grown men beating each other with sex straps, the return of JYD, the greatness of the Steiners and The Midnight Express, Luger on his deathbed getting screwed out of the World or just to hear Logan say Robocop, this episode is for you. And hey, if you want to relive the chaos, you can actually watch Capital Combat 1990 on the WCW YouTube Channel – but listen to us first so you know when to enjoy, laugh, cringe, or question your life choices.

    Hit play and prepare for a wild ride through steel cages, spandex, and sci-fi madness – only on The Vault!!
