    There is a modern homage to the Spidey/Torch relationship that recreates a lot of the funny/awesome moments and takes off on the way the whole relationship works. I am not overly a fan of Spidey or Johnny Storm, but when you put them together they are amazing beyond belief.

    Fun tag for sure. I liked the way that Hase and Kensuke actually worked the chinlocks instead of just sitting in them. The lariat/DDT transition basically guaranteed a Hash/Hoshu win, especially after Hash had DDTed Hase.

    So one of Watts' big moves when he comes on is to kill the heel group that is as hot as the Horsemen ever was (DA) because he didn't like Heyman's contract? Given the lack of credible heels he is facing it might have been wiser just to eat that and continue to push the DA.

    Great stunt from Barby with the bricks. I have no issue with him as a monster contending for the title. He would have made a good Hogan opponent with the right build.

    Probably should have waited until Watts had some better wrestling clips to show honestly.

    Horner looked really good here. Obviously he doesn't have the charisma to carry things himself, but with guys like DWB and Wright around all he has to do is hold up his end, which he does.

    Corny and the Bodies make this. Not sure I like the idea of insulting Corny's mom even if he's got a lot coming his way.

    So between this, the Bret interview and the time machine Backlund segment I am confused. Did this all air on the same show??? Every part of it seemed so different. And I know that you are supposed to have some variety on the show. It just seems like this segment is the more of-the-time WWF segment, Bret's interview was almost like a WCW babyface promo and the Backlund deal was trying to bring back the WWWF of the late 70s.

    Great interview from Bret. He plays the humble champ so well. And puts Flair over!
  10. dawho5
    Definitely out of place, but it fits Backlund.

    Didn't love it, didn't hate it. The timing on some of those spots with the Cowboys and Misionerios in the third caida was something to see. Very fluid and well-done!

    I enjoyed the opening a lot with Kikuchi showing some good offense beyond just the elbows. Sadly he is almost to the point to completely out of the main event picture. As is Ogawa, who has started to look better. Taue continues to shine and I love it. Kobashi is great and getting better, which is no surprise as 1993 is almost upon us. Misawa is good here, especially in that opening exchange with Jumbo. I thought it was a good sendoff for Jumbo. He wasn't a huge part of the match but got in all of the signature Jumbo stuff without anything feeling shoehorned in. Admittedly you might want something more spectacular, but I'm not sure he was up to a big singles match in the condition he was in.

    I really loved this match. Great meat-and-potatoes work with some great limb selling by Flair. Easily one of my top 10 WWF matches I've ever seen. Since when does a guy get a title win in his dad's hometown? That's crazy talk.

    I am not a fan of the whole "promoter pushing his son" deal as a general idea, unless the son is someone as talented as Dustin seems right away. That being said, it is hard to put any blame on Erik Watts for trying to play the role he has been put into. If he had seemed big-headed about it I would probably think differently.

    Loved Watts here, good stuff. Didn't know that Boris Malenko was the originator of the Russian chain match or that the coal miner's glove initially was done in Memphis. Very cool.

    I was wondering what a Prince of Darkness match was! Thank you sir. For as goofy as the kickoff to spin the wheel was I like the job they have done with it since. Of course having two pros like Sting and Jake involved helps.

    Foley conducting this interview was an awesome choice. I liked how the cobra played along to make the promo even better.
  18. dawho5
    Barby is really impressive here. And I have enjoyed Foley as the manager/coach so far.
  19. dawho5
    By Memphis standards doesn't Lawler piledriving the ref and Lee damn near killed them?
  20. dawho5
    I see your point garetta, but it seems like Wright is the kind of character who would outright make stuff up. I thought both promos were really good and I am waiting with baited breath for Morton's surprise next week.

    I dug Panther not wanting to let go of the belt in the pre-match. I thought the execution was off through a lot of this. It seemed like one guy was a step slow on a lot of it. The layout was really well-done with Astro getting a lot of roll-ups and counters to keep Panther on the defensive and build the drama. Then Panther suckers Astro into the moonsault and takes control, only to have Astro turn the tables on him later. I just wish I thought the execution looked better in spots. Also caida 2 seemed too short even by lucha standards. Question for the more seasoned lucha folks. Is Blue Panther known for his nucadora? He seemed to use it a lot.

    Taue and Williams really carried this I thought. Gordy and Jumbo for sure had their moments, but the lion's share of the work (and the big moments) went to the other two. The layout of the finishing stretch was incredible. I loved the symmetry of both teams working to a big double team after tossing the illegal partner out and then the big save in succession. Taue looks like a monster in this match. He was certainly benefitting from being next to Jumbo, but he more than holds his own.

    I will agree that the style is preferable to AJW. Suzuki's early strikes took me out of the match right away though. Seemed like they were doing this weird stiffness/working holds morphing into AJW style (with Fukuoka even doing a Toyota dropkick sequence) and then back again. Which also took me out of it. Parts of it were good. Not a fan of a lot of it.

    I really liked how Fujiwara made Chabadze (holy crap does he look huge) look like a monster before catching the heel and submitting him. That half nelson where he was grinding Fujiwara's neck into the mat was gnarly.
  25. dawho5
    Perfectly fine shootstyle. Sano looked super dominant on the mat for most of it with Flynn pulling some interesting counters out.
