    I imagine he meant googling before you posted the image.

    While this dragged a bit at times, it was paced very well and logically. Quick striking early with Silver's big kicks looking great. The crowd finally pops pretty big for a backdrop suplex followed by a transition into a choke. Silver continues controlling things standing with his kicks, working in a half crab after a takedown. He also hits a big German suplex. The infrequency of those kind of spots in this style make them feel like absolute game changers. Things come together late, where every single move and attempt looking like a potential finish. Kakihara withstands an onslaught from Silver and counters with an uppercut slap that busts the big man's nose. They continue trading kicks and strikes as time expires. So different, and so much fun. ***3/4

    It was interesting to finally see this after reading about it in the Observer and Torch. So strange seeing Vince and Dave sitting side by side. Hodgson did not come off as remotely credible in my eyes. I get why this was included, but it didn't exactly leave me wanting more.

    Piper talks about knowing the Hart family for years, going back to changing Bret's diapers and won't fight him at WM. This felt like an incredibly forced way to create an issue between the two. After shaking hands Piper teases hitting Hart from behind with the belt.

    Looks like I'm in the minority on this one as I was a huge fan. Brad Armstrong shines on commentary. Pillman with great early work on Morton's arm including a hammerlock, armbar and even posting Morton's arm. We transition to Pillman selling the knee, working the figure four like a real platinum blonde heel before Pillman scores the win the same way as he defeated Liger at Superbrawl. ***3/4

    Rogers takes a good punch and this is a fun little match in basically a theater or large studio setting, aided by the commentary. Could've used a few more minutes. You won't see a finish built around a sunset flip anymore. **3/4

    Pretty awesome to see this airing the same day as Embry doing his thing with a babyface DWG in Memphis. Anthony is much more well suited as a heel. Love the contrast of him with Wright.
  8. WingedEagle
    DWG delivers a nothing promo and afterwards Embry forces two kisses on her. I'm not sure how many heels can bring it as naturally as he can.

    Nailz is coming. This did nothing for me, but I know his debut is great.

    This was an awesome heel promo from Jake. Such a shame it was never harnessed for a top program.
  11. WingedEagle
    Savage is nuts. That statement is most definitely not untrue.
  12. WingedEagle
    Highlights from the WM press conference, Hogan's bus and Flair stepping of his limo in a robe AND suit. Then McMahon interviewing Flair. Gotta love wardrobe.
  13. WingedEagle
    Great heeling from Vader in the pre-match and throughout, with his post-match standing out for character work in Japan. Chono & Hash both have pretty short runs as FIPs before Bigelow does some great selling for Hash's offense. Would've benefited from chopping about 8-10 minutes off. ***

    Good promo from Jake setting up the WM match against Undertaker.
  15. WingedEagle
    Pillman knows from experience to stay off the juice. Still a shame to see this almost 16 years after his passing.
  16. WingedEagle
    Full clips from the post-Superbrawl party. Rude & the DA in tuxes interrupt and throws a drink in Sting's face they brawl. With no Clash between this and Wrestle War I'm surprised they didn't find a way to set up a title defense as a major match in the interim.
  17. WingedEagle
    Arn tells people to stay off steroids. He could make just about any material compelling and believable.
  18. WingedEagle
    Bischoff is in the control center, with highlights from Superbrawl II, including Sting's less than stellar post-show promo and Liger vs. Pillman. For some reason we've got DDP setting up the debut of Gordy & Williams. I definitely didn't recall talk about them this early as I don't believe they'd come in until June.
  19. WingedEagle
    Horner kicks Rogers out just shy of finishing his hour's worth of squats. The babyface/heel dynamic was pretty backwards here, even if Rogers is a natural heel.
  20. WingedEagle
    Cornette continues to build for his team's debut with a bunch of pop culture references, including the aforementioned deliverance remark. Nothing so fantastic in these SMW clips, but a nice mix of promos and character intros for a 60 minute program.
  21. WingedEagle
    Armstrong bans Wright from ringside until he is managing someone. He won't stand for Wright's mularkey and then wheels him out. Good stuff.
  22. WingedEagle
    Horner is sporting a dashing pink sweatshirt and bets $500 Rogers can't do squats for the whole hour.
  23. WingedEagle
    Dutch & Rogers deliver pretty standard promos as SMW establishes its characters. I know SMW picks up in the months ahead, but Memphis was clearly on another level at this point.
  24. WingedEagle
    Embry delivers a promo outdoors on Pat Tanaka on the upcoming stips. Memphis was really an afterthought for me when I picked up the yearbooks but thus far I'm loving how different it is from everything else -- yet another example of the variety that makes these sets so great.
  25. WingedEagle
    Kimala interferes for the faces and we get a few minutes of standard, top shelf 1992 Memphis brawling.
