    Lawler is in his element as a heel after such a long time as the Memphis good guy but this aged really poorly for me due to the racism, and I say that as someone who ranks Jim Duggan in a gorilla suit as one of the peak wrestling angles ever.

    The Luger-Vader split felt so one-sided and decisive... more like Vader getting written out of the territory to me than setting up a feud. The monster needs to bounce back in a big way. I echo those enjoying the slow planting of the seeds to get the Steiners teaming, and the progression of Hot Stuff Inc.

    Really building to something special with this show. Dusty appears to have built an unstoppable team to face Race's crew. Meanwhile, as Steamboat upholds his word and gives Savage a shot at the title, I can't help but wonder if Macho Man doesn't have some kind of double cross planned.

    WCCW would like to sign Mike George to its open roster spot, and add Mad Maxine in the second manager slot.

    WCCW would like to announce two trades Koko Ware and Curtis Hughes have been sent to Mid-South/Memphis in return for Al Perex and Iceman Parsons, retroactive to May 13. Mongolian Stomper has been dealt to Stampede in exchange for Stampede's first-round pick in the upcoming 1989 Rookie Draft

    Spladoni and I go way back in this game and I always enjoyed his stuff quite a bit. This AWA roster is a mixture of grizzled vets and young rising talent, reminding me of the true AWA during the same period. Stay away from any breakfast cereal gimmick-related matches, and things here should remain on point!

    That is some stacked lineups for Seattle... been awhile clearly since I have been reading here, but the standard for PCW remains consistent and high all the way around. Also, please tell me Footloose is going to start using the actual song for their entrance music? Maybe take up the cause of outlawed dancing in a small town? Eh? Ehhhh?

    WCW would have been way ahead of the curve and having some fantastic matches with the lucha guys, and now Muta, Tiger Mask II & Azure-don't-call-him-Ultimo Dragon coming in... The title change caught me by surprise. Good stuff here.

    Going to use David Manning and Bronko Lubich as my WCCW referees, as the universe intends...

    WCCW has acquired Chris Adams from the AWA for future considerations, including an agreement that will see select WCCW wrestlers appearing at select AWA events. Fred Ottman has been released.

    This is a solid, well-worked tag match that is elevated to the "very good" tier by a rabid and thoroughly invested crowd. Check out my full review, as part of my 365 Wrestling project.

    I watched this today and had the same thought about sounding alike.

    This match was the final of a round-robin league to crown the very first IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. There's nothing new here, but it's a well-done match and a historic one. The opening minutes feature an all-time-great dropkick by Cobra. Check out my full review, as part of the 365 Wrestling project.

    This has a "before they were stars" feel and would be a great inclusion on a Shield DVD retrospective if people still watched DVDs. As it is, it's a nifty look at these three before they joined the Shield, and when Reigns -- known as Leakee here -- was still quite green. He's quite a bit leaner here and busts out a kip-up and a leapfrog. Most of this is standard WWE triple threat fare with a nice feat of strength by Reigns at the end on a double Samoan drop, but I enjoyed it for the historical value. Check out my full review, which is Day 36 in my 365 Wrestling project.

    I respect the effort and I'm a fan of both guys but this match was not for me. The martial arts battle on the stage felt like an attempt to recapture or re-create the opening of their ROH match from 2002 and it just fell flat. Low Ki's control segment felt endless. Kudos to the ref laying there motionless after getting dropped in the early going and I liked the finishing stretch but overall this missed the mark for me.

    As you said, barely a match but what's here is a blast to watch and a fun, chaotic spectacle. Read my full review, as this was the 32nd entry in the 365 Wrestling Project.

    Piper is under the hood as the Masked Canadian and challenging Fujinami for his just-won WWWF Junior Heavyweight Title. The match goes about 30 minutes and we have roughly 10 minutes of footage here. It's interesting to see Piper working a more standard, technical style of wrestling, but that novelty and the rarity of the footage are really the only reasons to watch.

    Love this match. Cena is the draw and the fan favorite but Umaga is the star of the match. The structure is less a battle of two competitors and more man against monster, with Cena pulling out all the stops and all the equipment he can but Umaga keeps coming time and time again.

    The tag titles are on the line here. CHIKARA is an acquired taste that some find too goofy, but this is a good tag match with some big spots, solid control segment by the Portal and the biggest move in the match ends it. It's one fall to a finish unlike the usual two out of three falls format for title matches, and this adds to the sense of urgency. Check out my full review, part of the 365 Wrestling project.

    This match is for Shelley's IWTV World Title. What ensues here is a modern twist on the old tale of a traveling champion coming into town to defend against the local favorite. The story centers around the left arm of Mack, which Shelley focuses on with ill intent for the vast majority of the match. Credit Mack for selling Shelley's arm attack like it rendered the limb useless. That also negates Mack from using his signature move, the Mack 10 -- a cross-armed version of the Pedigree and a well-established match-ender in ACTION and other affiliated promotions. Shelley does a masterful job as the visiting champion and Mack is in his element as the hometown hero finally getting his big match. The crowd is invested for every second. The work is smooth and compelling. The conclusion is sudden, satisfying... and also historic. With the win, Mack becomes the first openly gay male world champ in wrestling history.

    I thought this was a master class in rudo wrestling from Satanico, from his great selling of everything Atlantis does, to the mask ripping, and committing fouls so quickly that he turns rulebreaking into an art. Lots to like in a very good match. You can read my full review, as part of the 365 Wrestling project.

    Yoshino makes his fifth defense of the Open the Dream Gate Title against Fujii, a former champion. I always get a kick out of how fast Yoshino runs the ropes, and this match is no exception. Fujii does his best to slow down the champion. We see some great false finishes near the end. This is definitely a good, solid singles match that is worth watching. I just think the Dragon Gate style translates better to tag matches. Read my full review, as part of the 365 Wrestling project.

    This rivalry between Kong and Kim helped establish the new Knockouts division, and this is the best match from their feud that I have seen. It’s a solid, satisfying match to watch. Check out my full review, as part of my 365 Wrestling project.
