  1. I have no clue who Gorky Park is, but they are anti-drug much like the Von Erichs. Gorky Park is apparently still a band according to wikipedia. Anyways, this was fun as Kerry seemed like some kind of ambassador between the US and the Soviet Union.
  2. Decent enough match here, but I was left feeling a little unimpressed. Nice looking headbutts from Fujiwara and a nice finish with Maeda choking out Fujiwara while he was bleeding from the mouth. Overall I would just say this match was a good shoot style match.
  3. The pre-match promos were off. Buzz Sawyer talk about Sting being in the match and Flair does a face promo. Muta gets a lot of cheers here and Sawyer takes a lot of dangerous bumps. The match isn't very good and most of it seem focused on Sting trying to get at Flair. Sting injuries his knee and WCW's main event plans with Sting/Flair at this point goes down the toilet.
  4. Time is running out for Sting to back out of his match with Flair. Everyone seems to change their tone and are full on heels here. Except for Ole, who seemed like a heel even when the Horsemen were faces.
  5. Hot finish to this match with Rick pulling the mask off of Reed to surprise him enough for the pin. Nobody is surprised to see that Doom is Butch Reed and Ron Simmons. Why were they wearing masks in the first place?
  6. I didn't find this very enjoyable. Some lame brawling until they go backstage to the women's restroom. I'm surprised that Norman can read as he see that it reads Women's so he doesn't want to go inside. Eventually he does and he wins the match behind closed doors to get his revenge on Sullivan.
  7. Nasty Nestea plunge from Cactus, but yeah it seems like he gets up too quick. I think I remember reading in his book that he wasn't excited about this match at all and knew a match with Mascaras would suck.
  8. I actually like this more than the first ad. The song isn't as corny though. It gave a nice rundown of the card and a Tim and Eric like lip sync of "Wild Thing" using Flair and Sting at the end.
  9. This was executed well (besides Ole cutting a promo with his back to the hardcam). Didn't make much sense though since Sting had signed the contract well beforehand and there was no conflict among the Horsemen about that until now. Disappointing as the Horsemen face team was working out great. The main event of this show is now pointless.
  10. This made absolutely no sense. Was Dr. Death actually supposed to be some kind of hero that goes around and saves lives? The CPR was hilarious with Death pretending like he was pushing on the victim's chest.
  11. Another good promo from Lawler here. Definitely a heel promo as he runs down the hometown and talks about how Jarrett and Dundee were only able to survive the post-match beatdown by Lawler and Travis by enlisting in the aid of the other faces in the locker room.
  12. I love watch old wrestling music videos. I thought Dutch's was the best out of these three. Champion's had some really bad attempts at lip synching and Jarrett's just repeated a bunch of old clips. Still fun to watch.
  13. This promo was just bad and sad in a way. The woman singing Happy Birth to Kerry off camera was funny. Percy was bad in this too. He watches Soultaker clothesline Kerry and says over the mic "I wish I could do something to help". Just a trainwreck of a segment.
  14. Pretty much a by-the-books heel turn from Austin here as he turns against his mentor. I'm excited to see this play out as it is Austin's first major feud in wrestling. Garvin is absolutely horrible on commentary.
  15. One last promo to get people to tune in for the Clash. Nothing special here, but it does its job. There's been some pretty decent build up for this match, but it seems like the rest of the card has had no build at all.
  16. Horrible song here, but much like the Clash promo this is so bad it's good.
  17. This is really corny, but absolutely hilarious. I loved this promo. What was going on with the Steiners promo? Rick calls Doom sissies and then awkwardly looks at Scott. A bit of racism here with the promo from the Horsemen and the Samoan Savage.
  18. Cornette looks like a total geek here. More build up of the offer from Woman and Flair not giving a straight answer. Looks like this will conclude at the Clash after being drug out for quite some time.
  19. A lot of clips and promos in this segment to show some of the history about this feud. Lawler is far ahead of Jarrett and Kerry when it comes to cutting promos here. Calling Kerry a Cro-Magnon got a big chuckle out of me. More steroid talk from Lawler here.
  20. This was great. It seemed to me that Lawler's ran about steroids was how he truly felt. More great promo work from Lawler here and another awesome segment from Memphis. This was surreal and just a joy to watch.
  21. These promos feel like they take place in some kind of alternate universe. Hogan's promo begins sensible enough and then gets bizarre (Warrior drinking from the devil's armpit?) and Warriors is nonsensical the whole time. These are really entertaining to watch and something I don't think we will ever see the likes of again in wrestling. The feeling I get from this is that both guys are supposed to be portrayed as mythological Gods heading into Mania.
  22. Fantastic angle here! The match was good, short, and doesn't give too much away so they can have the Mania match. A lot of nice DDT teases as well. The post match angle was brilliant with Boss Man turning face because he can't be bought. Is Boss Man the only person in the WWF besides Jake that isn't afraid of snakes?
  23. This match just fell flat for me. Billy Joe Travis is always fun to watch, but this match just seemed short and uninspiring. I guess the only real positive thing I have to say about this is that the post-match beatdown was done well.
  24. Good match. Nothing too special here, but like others said this seemed like a broomstick match with Flair carrying Zenk. I guess Zenk came out to the Batman theme song here since he is the "Z-Man". I felt it was kind of odd that Flair worked as the heel here since he is supposed to be the face and had been great in that role up to this point. I guess he felt that was the role to take in this match where he was facing a babyface underdog.
  25. Awesome match! This isn't your typical NJ juniors match, but it was fantastic. Sano absolutely destroys Liger in the beginning of the match and hits a nasty looking battering ram to the post. I also have to give props to the post match here with Liger throwing the belt down in disgust. This match wasn't about a championship, it was about hatred. Match of the month and definitely a match I will go back and watch again.
