    Correct, that match was Elizabeth's last appearance but Graham's site says this didn't air on TV until June so could be reason for not selling leg. Granted it was shown live in the UK. Thought this was really good and liked Michaels getting to aggressively attack the leg more than some of his matches in his initial run that he went to headlock too much. Savage was awesome from just limping down the aisle on his entrance all the way to the finish where he struggles to climb to the top rope. Michaels gave him a real tough match as he was in dominating towards the last few moments.

    It is refreshing to see the hometown guy go over. Crowd sure did love Davey. Bulldog wins clean with the powerslam. Pretty big win with Flair just being champion.

    Sid kicking out of the leg drop was interesting. The DQ finish was really cheap as it wasn't like Harvey had done enough to really cause it. This has to be the only WrestleMania to have a DQ finish in the last match. Can't remember it being done again. Warrior showing up is pretty cool. Shango just stands there against the ropes and waits to get clotheslined out. Show felt like an end of era with Hogan and Piper leaving and them not running big venues at WrestleMania for a long time.

    This is the opposite of Piper/Hart for me as doesn't hold up as well on multiple viewings. Still a good match though. Don't get why the suits would be trying to stop Elizabeth either since she is Savage's manager. I see Dave Hebner is wearing Pat Patterson's white sneakers. I enjoyed Perfect's involvement and it was a nice touch to have Savage win match in end by cheating and one upping Flair. Post match promos by Perfect/Heenan/Flair were great.

    Luger looks huge. Figured they could have shown him live in person. Was he mentioned again on WWF tv before he showed up at as the Narcissist?

    Think this gets better on multiple viewings. Big crowd and arena is pretty lit up. I think entrances look bigger with smaller stages. If that makes sense. Bret pretends to hurt his shoulder and gets a small package on Piper. I liked both good guys pulling out sneaky moves. Piper teases using the ring bell and crowd are happy he tosses it aside. Figure there be a bigger pop for the Sleeper but do like the finish. My favorite Piper match.

    Good stuff. All of these guys are just fun to watch against each other. Steamboat has been showing some great fire recently with a bit of an edge also. He gets the chair away from Austin and has no doubts about using it himself.

    Cornette ripping on the SMW fans never gets old for me. He's still have trouble debuting his new tag team. Ron Wright is fed up that the fans aren't sending in donations to help him out. Brian Lee shows up and Wright maneuvers his wheelchair out of sight pretty quickly.

    Short match with Moondogs running in and interfering. Lee at least has some pants on.
  10. Kevin Ridge
    They sure stripped Richard Lee real fast. Jarrett was quick on undoing those pants. Lee is still is wearing his cardboard tie and wrestling boots though.

    Heenan doing commentary on Hogan/Andre match was weird. Felt like the Warrior match must have been a hint of what is to come since Hogan lost the match. I figure they would have at least shown a brief clip of him winning title against Iron Sheik. Vince seemed actually moved at the end of the interview.

    I thought the limo would run over Mene Gene but it doesn't happen. Great Flair being Flair promo. I know they didn't really have video trons back in the day but it could have been a good way for Flair to keep the title by having pictures shown up on screen and then getting a roll up on a distracted Savage.

    Elizabeth gets some extended promo time and does a really good job. Ric Flair is a photoshop wiz as these scandalous pictures have been doctored. WWF magazine will publish the true photographs.
  14. Kevin Ridge
    Yeah, for a mask vs. mask match it felt like some of the venom/desperation was missing. Seen little of these type of matches so I was quite shocked at the ending. Seems like a pretty big brain fart to lose a mask match on DQ because of tombstone piledriver in front of the referee. I would guess not many of these mask matches are determined by DQ finish.
  15. Kevin Ridge
    This put me off too as seemed to be so obvious in front of the referee. Inconsistent referring in matches just annoys me lots. I do like the pre match photo by everyone. I really dug the first fall and did like that we didn't get the usual two quick falls. Second fall was a step below though. Third fall was good also but I was starting to lose a bit interest in this. I was waiting for it to really get going and felt it didn't.

    I've only seen 6/90 match so can't compare the rest to this. The video issues during middle hurt match but we still got the audio at least. For a 30 minute draw thought this was pretty good. Felt like there was some really believable close finishes for both guys towards the end. Jumbo looked pretty good as far as any health issues he had/was developing. If this is the last of his marque singles matches than I am glad it was included on yearbook.
  17. Kevin Ridge
    Thought this was good too but the middle part did seem a miss after the heated beginning when Taue attacks before the bell. First few minutes were great as they use the announce table a couple times. Then back in the ring they return to wrestling on the mat. Just didn't seem to fit after the start they had. It gets great again the last few minutes with some close pin falls. Think if the middle had been a bit better I would rated this much higher. Still enjoyed it though.

    No rest holds here. Nice quick match between two and interesting to see these guys against each other at this point of their careers. Piper gets in his kiss with Sherri. Too bad we didn't get a few more minutes of match time. Bret comes down to try help Piper but they get in each other's face.
  19. Kevin Ridge
    I wasn't completing buying good guy Steamboat resorting to using an eye gouge so early in match. Otherwise good match. Steamboat gets really fired up when Heyman and Rude interfere. Ricky is pissed off.
  20. Kevin Ridge
    Lee with the big bag of powder was great. I loved he he was walking around the ring throwing powder in everyone's face. He ends up getting the whole bag over his head by Valiant.
  21. Kevin Ridge
    Best part was Sid putting Okerlund in his place. Gene seemed to be pretty sore about that.
  22. Kevin Ridge
    Too bad the audio was low as seemed like a heated crowd. Decent enough match with Flair doing most of the work. Laughed when Piper made the hot tag to.... Sid? Oops! Would have liked to have seen Savage in there instead of Piper.
  23. Kevin Ridge
    I think it is Black who is doing the moonsault of the top rope to the outside but he seemed to catch more of the apron than his opponent.
  24. Kevin Ridge
    Valiant is so over the top and over with the studio crowd. Kissing fans in the crowd and then Christopher. Donahue should have booked Valiant. He wants Christopher to chill out as could hurt "his performance". Christopher isn't looking to be friends and then just socks Valiant and follows up with a beating. Christopher response is that Valiant wanted five. I counted a lot more punches than that.

    They are making the sell on possibly being Hogan's last match at WrestleMania. Comparing Sid to Dahmer was interesting. Standard Hogan promo otherwise.
