The 1995Uncensored was the inauguralUncensoredprofessional wrestlingpay-per-view (PPV)event produced byWorld Championship Wrestling (WCW). It took place on March 19, 1995 from theTupelo Coliseum inTupelo, Mississippi. As of 2025 the event is no longer available on theWWE Network[2] and can be found on the official WCWYouTube channel.[3]
The event featuredprofessional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds andstorylines. Professional wrestlers portrayvillains,heroes, orless distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]
The concept ofUncensored was that it was an event that, in storylines, the (fictional) WCW Board of Directors had washed their hands of (in reality, it was a normally-booked WCW show, albeit one with a tendency to feature more gimmick matches than usual). Thus, each match on the card was ostensibly unsanctioned, meaning they were not subject to the normal rules of WCW-sanctioned wrestling matches; as a result, despite all five of the company's champions competing at the event, no titles were on the line.

All of the pre-pay-per-view matches were broadcast live onWCW Main Event. The "King of the Road" match took place in the caged-off trailer ofthe Blacktop Bully's 18-wheeler truck, as it was driven (supposedly) around nearby roads. The object of the match was to climb to the top of the trailer's cage and sound a horn positioned there. Bully sounded the horn to win. This match was taped days earlier outside ofAtlanta, Georgia and was heavily edited due to WCW's strict no-bleeding policy in place at the time;Dustin Rhodes and Bully were subsequently fired forblading during the match in violation of the policy.
The second match saw"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan take onMeng, withCol. Robert Parker in his corner, in a"Martial Arts match";Sonny Onoo served as the guest referee. The match ended when Parker got on the apron and Duggan confronted him; as Parker and Onoo held Duggan's arms, Meng hit Duggan with aSavate kick and got the victory.
The "Boxer vs. Wrestler" match betweenJohnny B. Badd andWCW World Television ChampionArn Anderson was billed as having ten three-minute rounds, with a rest period of one minute between rounds. The rules stated that Anderson (as "the wrestler") could win by pinfall or submission, whereas Johnny B. Badd (as "the boxer") could only win by knockout. Johnny won the match during round 4 at the twenty-two second mark.
Despite the event being billed as "no rules"the Avalanche was disqualified in his match againstRandy Savage after a "fan" attacked Savage. The fan turned out to beRic Flair dressed like a woman.
In the next match,Big Bubba Rogers would defeatSting when Sting, whose knee had been weakened over the course of the bout, tried to slam Rogers; he would collapse backwards, allowing Rogers to score the pinfall victory.
TheFalls Count AnywhereTexas Tornado Tag Team match betweenThe Nasty Boys andWCW World Tag Team ChampionsHarlem Heat ended up in the concession stands, where the participants attacked each other withcotton candy,soft drinks and other nearby objects. The Nasty Boys won when Brian Knobbs pinned Booker T after slamming him into the debris of a destroyed funnel cake stand.
The main event was astrap match betweenWCW United States ChampionBig Van Vader andWCW World Heavyweight ChampionHulk Hogan. Before the PPV, Hogan's managerJimmy Hart was kidnapped and tied up at an undisclosed location by Vader and Flair. During the match Hart escaped and joinedThe Renegade at ringside. During the match a masked man appeared and attacked Renegade, before returning to the back. Hogan was given the win over Vader when he dragged an interfering Flair and touched all four turnbuckles (despite Flair not being the legal opponent in the match). After the match, a masked man appeared again, seemingly siding with Vader and Flair, before unmasking to reveal himself as Randy Savage and embracing Hogan, Renegade and Hart. Savage had tied up the first masked man backstage, who was then revealed to be Arn Anderson.
