We head back to Japan for, unfortunately, the last time, as we close out the WCW / New Japan Supershow series with Supershow III - a heavily (and awkwardly) edited version of Fantastic Story in Tokyo Dome, which unfortunately is not about elves and wizards fighting dragons in Tokyo Dome, but is, at least, a darn good wrestling show. Jushin "Thunder" Liger faces Ultimo Dragon in a dream match (okay, so there is one Dragon)! The Great Muta and Masahiro get another chance after their Starrcade 1992 effort underwhelmed us! Sting faces Hiroshi Hase in a contest for most naturally likeable wrestler! Plus, just what the heck is going on with commentary in that six-man tag match, and what big match got left on the cutting room floor this year? For all this and more (but no ceremony or presentation, goodness no), let's go to the ring!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/

Welcome to Episode 9 of Starflation, the podcast that says 5 stars has never been enough! The concept? Prior to January 2017, we had been using the long standing and well known 5-star rating system for rating wrestling matches. That all changed when Dave Meltzer gave the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 11 SIX stars, before going SEVEN stars on Omega/Okada IV in June 2018, giving us the 7-star scale we now use. But that poses a question, what about the hundreds of matches rated the full 5 and above before June 2018? Don't worry, we've got you covered!. In this episode, the boys look at a rematch of a match we were surprised wasn't on the list itself by taking a look at Jushin Thunder Liger vs. The Great Sasuke from Day 8 of NJPW Summer Struggle 1994.

Slamboree was originally an event that began in 1993 and was subtitled: "A Legends Reunion." The event was the brainchild of Dusty Rhodes, but in 1996 it looked nothing like the original one. The 1996 version featured Sting versus the Giant for the WCW World Title, Dean Malenko against Brad Armstrong for the WCW Cruiserweight Title and Konnan against Jushin "Thunder" Liger for the United State Title. It also featured a tag team "Lethal Lottery" with some sort of Battlebowl-Lord of the Ring-Earn a world title shot-nonsense. Hey, it was WCW, right? And it was pre-NWO, so there was plenty of nonsense, right?
