Harlem Heat

Like, just, like, the idea of them together feels right because they were, like, that was the big WWF feud that, like, both teams had.

I think that, like... their best stuff or at least like their most well regarded probably actually weirdly happened like in like the early Nitro run where it was like them and LOD and oh shit what's the other team that was like it wasn't Harlem Heat but like there's like a third team that was like yeah the Steiners you know so like them like the nasty boys against like arguably their two greatest rivals like there's like a really good triangle tag match between the three of them on Nitro that's a lot of fun but like again like even even at that point like you're talking about like the nasty boys in like 95 where like you know occasionally you'll get something where like they'll pop but like it's it's yeah i think that it's like the difference between them and the wwf and wcw is that in wwf they are part of an ensemble cast like they are called upon to do the work occasionally Again, they got really mad when they were demoted from the WrestleMania card in favor of the team of Brutus the Barber Beefcake and Hulk Hogan.

They thought that they deserved the spot more than Hulk Hogan, which is crazy.

And that's why they eventually wind up in WCW in 1993, where I think that they are an excellent team.

And I love that they're still getting these commercials.

Next up, we've got Harlem Heat and the American Males.

Of course, as a reminder, Harlem Heat are the tag champs.

They won them a couple of Saturday nights ago from the public enemy.

They're going to be wrestling Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Scotty Riggs here in a non-title match.

This is still the era where Harlem Heat are managed by Sister Sherry and Colonel Robert Parker.

We haven't talked about that pairing in a while.

I know you love their on-screen stuff.

So, you know, Cactus wouldn't really be electrocuted, which makes common sense.

Some other matches from that night, Ice Train, Charlie Norris, and the Shockmaster over Harlem Heat and the Equalizer.

Paul Orndorff with the Assassin in his corner over Ricky Steamboat.

Lord Steven Regal with Sir William over, excuse me, and Davey Boy Smith wrestled to a time limit draw.

Lex Luger over Arn Anderson.

Steve Mongo McMichael and Chris Benoit with Woman and Debra over the Faces of Fear, Men in the Barbarian with Jimmy Hart.

The Outsiders over Harlem Heat to win the WCW tag titles.

And the main event was Hollywood Hogan defeating Macho Man Randy Savage to retain the World Heavyweight title.

Vince McMahon, Jim Ross, Vic Venom, and Paul Heyman posing as Bruce Prichard, all on WDF Livewire.

Who thought you would ever hear those four names in the same episode of Livewire, of all things? Harlem Heat regaining the WCW World Tag Team titles.

Sandman gets the ECW World title back.

All that, the NWO is still running wild in WCW.
