[1991-05-29-UWA] Blue Blazer vs El Canek (Mask vs Mask)
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Can’t imagine there is any drama who is going to win this one. Owen with the Sharpshooter. Bret obviously learned it from Owen. Blazer’s mask seems different from his WWF days. Two falls are shown and Canek unmask Owen right away so this appears heavily edited. -
Hotta doesn’t seem like the most fun wrestler to go up against. Lots of kicks to your head. Fluke type pin out of nowhere in this one which felt out of place.

Is Jason Hervey the celebrity that has made the most wrestling appearances? You really want to see someone punch him in the face.- 11 replies

[1991-05-25-WCW-Saturday Night] Missy's Manor: Steve Austin
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Don't know who this Veronica is. Austin has arrived in WCW. Good for him as he was going nowhere in USWA in 91.- 9 replies

Koloff tries to say he doesn't have a problem with Sting but with his partner Luger instead. Sting seems to accept this as he turns his back on Koloff and gets clotheslined.

[1991-05-25-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Jeff Jarrett & Robert Fuller
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Nice moment by Lawler for letting that fan on TV. Jeff is like the jockey who got on the stud horse and led them to win. Good stuff from Fuller. -
Mighty Mouse of the Mid South is a nice one. Embry makes threats to the Dundees and the soon to return Lawler.

[1991-05-25-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler, Bill & Jamie Dundee
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Lawler is back helping out on commentary. Bill and Jamie seem back together. Bill lost to Embry and has to leave to USWA for 30 days. Jamie volunteers to take Bill’s spot and leave for 30 days. Marlin goes along with it. So they had match twice and didn’t follow up with the stipulation either time. I wonder if Jamie had a change of heart for real. -
The Bushwhackers are big fans of WWF ice cream bars. This was kind of disgusting and would not make me go out and buy one. Paul Bearer makes light of Damien’s demise and asks how the funeral was. He will build a casket for Lucifer when Earthquake squashes him too. Roberts doesn’t think the current casked will be big enough. Bearer goes to show how big it is but Lucifer is hiding inside. We don’t get to see Lucifer. Jake looked like he was about to have a breakdown during this but he was just setting up Bearer in the end.

[1991-05-25-WWF-Superstars] Update: Mr Fuji hasn't been paying attention
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
These segments are so predictable but fun as Fuji has a cake made especially for Andre. You know what happens. Fuji should have known better. I like Skaaland hanging in the background in these. -
[1991-03-29-USWA Texas] Bill Dundee vs Eric Embry (Cage)
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in March 1991
Much better as they have a cage match with also the ability to handcuff your opponent to it for a minute. Really liked the spot where Dundee handcuffed Embry three consecutive times and put the boots to him. Finish wasn’t great with ether being involved. Announcer was choking and coughing but the referee seemed complete fine and not aware of what happened. We end up having another belt held up.- 7 replies

[1991-03-29-USWA Texas] Jeff Jarrett vs Tom Prichard (Cage)
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in March 1991
I was ready to congratulate them on the finish with Pritchard getting the chain but Jarrett managing to avoid getting hit with it multiple times and then getting the win. But Pritchard puts the chain in Jarrett’s trunks and the referee disqualifies him. In a cage match! This is getting frustrating. Stop using cage match, street fight, etc gimmicks if you are going to have standard wrestling match rules. As a wrestling match it was good but they need to just stick to wrestling if they are unable to use the gimmicks in full because of censors. I’m trying but I just can’t get my head around this.- 7 replies

The finish with Misawa trying to get the facelock on was good. Easily highlight of match when he got tagged in. Criticisms of MVC in the match makes total sense. They hit a big move, put on a bad looking submission and don’t sell enough.

[1991-05-24-AJPW-Super Power Series] Jumbo Tsuruta vs Kenta Kobashi
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Lots of offense from Kobashi including a nice face buster off the apron to the floor. He alludes Jumbo a few times on the backdrop before finally being put away. Last few minutes were really good but match was too edited to rate it highly.- 13 replies

[1991-05-21-WWF-Primetime Wrestling] Hulk Hogan in the studio
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Hogan out to promote Suburban Commando (haven’t seen that one in ages) and his hotline. He seemed almost embarrassed after they showed a sneak preview. He talks about how many of his Hulkamaniacs in the crowd have won prizes on the his hotline. There was silence at this remark. -
[1991-05-19-WCW-Superbrawl I] Ric Flair vs Tatsumi Fujinami
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Introductions for both men feel cheap. Tough on everyone to bring in a guy like Fujinami to main event a big show. Crowd wasn’t into him. It was a step up from their New Japan match but by the end I was pretty much waiting for it to be over. Flair was trying hard but he started to way overdo it on the Flair flops.- 13 replies

[1991-05-19-WCW-Superbrawl I] Arn Anderson vs Bobby Eaton
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Bobby Eaton’s big singles moment on winning the TV title and the cameras miss it! Pillman and Windham’s involvement was not necessary and especially took away from ending when camera was focusing on them running towards back. This is just bad TV production. I felt like this would be the best of the matches from this show so was disappointed with execution. Agreed that it probably could have been placed earlier on card.- 8 replies

[1991-05-19-WCW-Superbrawl I] Sting & Lex Luger vs Rick & Scott Steiner
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
I do appreciate them putting four big stars who are good guys in a tag match against either other at this time. There was excitement early seeing each guy pair off with each other and the crowd is into it. Luger fit in better than I thought but that side Russian neckbreaker looked strange as it seemed like Lex did the move to himself. Match had promising start but didn’t finish as strong as would like. Not having a clean finish was to be expected.- 22 replies

[1991-05-19-WCW-Superbrawl I] Ron Simmons vs Butch Reed (Cage)
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
The cage just seems to be in the background. Teddy is locked in a cage above the ring for the sole purpose of dropping a chain into the ring at the end. Crowd pretty quiet for match.- 8 replies

[1991-05-19-WCW-Superbrawl I] Sid Vicious vs El Gigante (Stretcher)
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Gigante has trouble bringing the stretcher down ringside so we are off to a good start. Not sure why he bothered as though it is a stretcher match it is not the match type where you have to get your opponent on it and wheel them away from ring. Horrible match and fans say goodbye to Sid afterwards. We get some weak interference after the match with Sullivan and Gang attacking Gigante. The stretcher finally comes into play. Just really bad.- 8 replies

[1991-05-19-WCW-Superbrawl I] Barry Windham vs Brian Pillman (Taped Fist)
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Thought Windham did much better using the tape fists especially with the shots to the ribs of Pillman. They get bloody early and it has the feeling like they aren’t going to get enough time. Just too short in the end.- 11 replies

[1991-05-19-WCW-Superbrawl I] Missy Hyatt and Stan Hansen
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
Missy enters men’s locker room to try interview Z-Man or Pillman. She asks Taylor a question but doesn’t seem interested in the answer. Missy tries to sneak into the shower and out pops Hansen wearing just his boxers. He spanks her with his cowboy hat. Silly to see Hansen like this.- 8 replies

[1991-05-19-WCW-Superbrawl I] Fabulous Freebirds vs Young Pistols
Kevin Ridge replied to Loss's topic in May 1991
I figured since it was the last few minutes it probably wouldn’t be much but from what we see it’s pretty decent action between all four. A masked man runs in towards the end. Those turnbuckle DDTs look familiar. It's Kobashi!!! I don’t know much about this Fantasia guy but outfit looked bad.- 8 replies
