    Everyone go home. We have a winner. I remain so far beyond in my podcast listening. Maybe if traffic sucks this week I'll plow through more.

    Their work stateside was a real disappointment and exposed them for the reasons Dylan highlighted. I actually enjoyed the first Sabu/RVD tags, but haven't watched them in years and kind of expect they wouldn't hold up very well. I know 5/25/92 gets all the love, but if you put it on mute, the Footloose matches and 2/92 vs. Kawada & Kikuchi are arguably just as great.

    That required a Konnan run in to drop a hot "BOOM!"

    I forgot how big Jake was. Sting with a nice spot jumping around the pole and climbing for the glove. Cactus brings Jake his snake, but Sting nails him and the snake bites Jake allowing Sting to win. Creepy as hell and Jake bleeds a good deal.

    Vader won a title that Paul E somehow facilitated, before Madusa is out to confront him. He calls her a hooker, fires her and she attacks him. Paul E was awesome here, spelling out fired and going about as strong a chauvanist heel as you can.

    This had a lot of bright spots -- Dustin & Williams working together early, Windham being sneaky quick and agile for a guy his size, and Dustin's offense following the hot tag. Unfortunately these moments were built around an unnecessarily long match. Would've been a lot better with 10-12 minutes chopped off and a finish. **3/4

    How about the ECW straw hat in the first row? I enjoyed Pillman's work as a heel quite a bit here, even this early. Not as strong as the tag on main event, but a solid undercard match. Steamboat's offense when working as a methodical technician versus rapid fire intensity is night and day. When he's motivated on that side of the ball its a hell of a show. **3/4

    The debut of the not quite yet Hollywood Blondes. Austin's work as a heel is so much better and more focused than than earlier in the year. Douglas/Steamboat work very well together with some nice double teams early on, while Pillman is such a natural heel. Good formulaic tag with alternating FIPs and basic heel tactics. Pillman throws Douglas over the top for a DQ. The inconclusive finish is fine given this was going to be an extended feud, evne if they didn't know it yet.. ***1/4

    Nikita talks about why the US title is more important to him than World Title. Furthering Rude/Heyman tension.

    Love the band playing in a ring. Presumably he had a lot of fun with this.

    Quick Cornette promo setting up a rematch.

    This was a great angle and performance by Morton. Match itself was fine, but but from start to finish this probably made for a great episode of television while building the feud. **3/4

    Smothers talks about a big contract in WCW, then the corporate execs telling their team to be less redneck. Says theyre're not pistols from Cheyenne, WY. Bob Armstrong brought him to SMW. American by birth, Southern by the grace of god.

    Moondogs & Lee out for a brawl in the ring with a couple jobbers before Eddie Gilbert, Lawler & Jarrett are out to attack Moondogs and a masked man. Adding Gilbert to the mix certainly freshens it up a bit. Eddie Marlin says Gilbert will now be in 6 man tags with Lawler & Jarrett. Then a tag match w/ Lawler/Jarrett vs. Scorpion & someone. Moondogs attack right away, and Eddie is out for the save with a fire extinguisher.
  19. WingedEagle
    Todd Champion is there with some title belt, which isn't a good look for Lawler & Jarrett. Clips of Moondogs & Lee vs. Lawler/Jarrett where JYD apparently no showed so Doug Gilbert stepped in and was injured with a bone shot.

    Promo apparently setting up a Chicken challenge. Christopher is a hell of a whiny heel. There's a place for him as an undercard heel. Loser takes a dozen eggs to the face. Decent studio match where crowd sounds more into it than it looks. Davis wins and ringside kids love it. Then Davis & 11 fans crack eggs on Christopher's head. Christopher challenges Davis to a LLT match next week. Not great TV.

    Warrior is really insane, his mannerisms look like he should be locked up. They're at least on message and repeatedly hyping Survivor Series.

    This was something to see, just super fast and fluid matwork with rapid fire counters and sequences from spot to spot. Tamura finds a ton of submissions that all flow from the work on the mat. One awesome sequence early saw Tamura turn a Yamazaki kick into an awesome single leg throw, then follow with a submission attempt and an enzuigiri. You can't do justice to how smooth and seamless everything was. Felt like a big win for Tamura. Really great shoot style. ****

    Such an historic match, and its just as great today as the first time I saw it. They'd certainly top it but they set the bar incredibly high from the start, and worked this very differently coming in as partners rather than rivals. Some of my favorite moments: * Kawada's backdrop suplex off of the initial lock up shows he means business right away. * Misawa's work on Kawada's legs. * The story that as much as Kawada has his big guns -- the power bomb, stretch plum and lariat -- Misawa is the champion and simply has more bombs to throw. By my count he had to bust out multiple elbows, a facelock, 2 tiger drivers and 2 tiger suplexes to secure the win. This would make for a terrific climax to most feuds, and here its just the first face off. ****1/2

    Very good tag action here. Great early slap exchange b/w Hash & Sasaki before a lariat takes Hash down. Hash's offense is far & away the best in NJ, with great pacing, impact & selling. He's always working in close quarters and doesn't hold back and as a result is looks awesome. Hase retaping his knee mid-match is a nice touch. Pop for Sasaki enzuigiri bringing Hash down to one knee, which prompts Choshu to level Hase on the apron. Sasaki goes for power bomb on Choshu, Hash kicks him a few times to break it up. Solid finish with Hash & Choshu working together to take out Sasaki. Really good, fun match that never felt slow. ****

    Paul talks about his absence lately but he's still the Dangerous Alliance. He signed an open contract for a Rude US Title match at Havoc even though he also has a match against Chono. Seems to be setting up a Rude face turn. Says he's the reason for Rude's success, not Madusa. Schiavonie says Rude has called for a meeting with Paul. If I recall correctly, Watts had a problem with Paul's guaranteed contract which was paying him more than a lot of wrestlers, and went out of his way to make life miserable for him to try and find a way around that expense.
