THE FAMOUS ANDRE HAIRCUT MATCH, A REALLY BAD WAR GAMES, STING SPEAKS AND MORE

By Buck Woodward on 2009-10-17 20:17:32

Thanks to Devin Cutting for the following. ... The October 17th, 2009 edition of WWE Vintage Collection on The Score featured these matches:
* Andre The Giant & SD Jones vs. Big John Studd & Ken Patera from the WWF TV taping on November 13th, 1984.
* War Games from WCW Fall Brawl 1995
* The Undertaker vs. Mankind from WWF King Of The Ring 1996

Interesting mix of matches there.  The Andre & Jones vs. Studd & Patera bout is the infamous "haircut" angle where Studd, Patera and Bobby Heenan cut Andre's hair while announcer Vince McMahon yells "They are raping him of his dignity!"  The War Games from 1995 is one of the worst War Games matches ever, featuring Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Lex Luger & Sting defeating Zodiac (Brutus Beefcake), Shark (John Tenta), Kamala & Meng.  The Undertaker-Mankind match is won by Mankind with the Mandible Claw, after Paul Bearer accidentally hit Undertaker with the urn while going for Mankind.

The L.A. Times has an interview with Sting at this link.  Got to be honest, it wasn't exactly thrilling reading, but it is good publicity for the Bound For Glory PPV tomorrow.
