    Definitely siding with the earlier posters, I thought this was incredibly well built and didn't find it boring at all. WWF World Champion Yokozuna vs Bret Hart - WWF MSG 8/13/93 I'm throughly impressed that these two had such a compelling match for twenty minutes. It was so simple but so elegant and really everything had such a perfect build. Bret's strategy against the behemoth was twofold: fists and speed. He needed to take advantage of every missed opportunity. Missed elbow, missed legdrop, missed splash, Bret always would make a break for it. But he always get caught. Because he couldn't do his normal offense he would just haul off and punch. Bret has one of the better punches in WWF. The part that really makes it for me is the kid that is super into it. When Bret is teeing off, he is right there with him "You can get him down." "CMON BRET BABBBBBYYYYYY" Loved the genuine emotion. Which leads me to the best part of the match Yoko's selling. He was giving Blackwell a run for his money in the weeble wobbles but don't fall down selling. Selling his own headbutt. Timing his missed spots and his constant cheating was great. That second rope bulldog that takes him down was molten as was the clothesline . The Garden was rocking because Yoko was rolling. Loved the false finish where Yoko is poised for the Banzai Drop in the corner near the door so Bret makes a break for it. Bret fighting fire with Fire by kicking the ropes in his balls or thumb to the eye was great. In a NUCLEAR false finish, Hitman clobbers him with the salt bucket tossed in by Lawler and the ref counts 1-2-No! MSG POPS HUGE!!! Lawler throws powder in Brets eyes as he is climbing and Yoko wins and then squashed Bret for good measure with Banzai Drop. Match right up my alley that is all about working in the unique attributes of Yoko and building a distinct match around that. Not a typical Bret match. Lots of drama, great timing and so much is paid off in these mini-battles. Yoko is tremendous in this. Great David vs Goliath match with amazing selling from Goliath ****

    WWF World Tag CHAMPS Marty Jannetty & 1-2-3 Kid vs Quebecers -WWF MSG 1/17/94 Had more of a feel of those classic Rockers vs Rougeaus match. Lots of fun BS at the beginning that's missing from today's wrestling. The Quebecers welcoming the babyfaces to soak in the adulation from the fans only to attack was great and then of course the good guys turn the tide on the French Canadians. Loved it! Jacques doing his chicken gimmick was great. Lots of Quebecers attacking but setting themselves up to be made fools of was great. Short Kid FIP based on pulling down top rope. Quebecers have such better offense than Rougeaus. They could have been WWF MX of the 90s. Pierre misses the leg drop. Marty house afire even POLO gets hit. Marty gets blasted on an OConnor to start his FIP. Fantastic heat segment on Marty. It is all built around Marty being so close but yet so far. He gets so many opportunities to tag but can't complete it. Lots of good testicular humor. Loved Marty firing off with Jacques only to be back dropped over the top rope. He got some serious hangtime on that back body drop. Quebecers had some great offense as well. Really built the tension of when the tag would happen. Once it did Kid was a good house afire with spinning heel kicks for everyone but he forgot Johnny Polo who knocks him off top. Superplex and CANONBALL!!! Quebecers recover the titles. Fantastic old school Southern tag. Maybe the best non-Bret, non-Shawn WWF match of 93-97. Great tag team fundamentals. ****

    WWF World Tag Team Champions Quebecers vs Marty Jannetty & 1-2-3 Kid - WWF RAW 1/10/94 Fun fact: This takes place in Richmond, VA and I am currently in Richmond, VA! RAW's 1 year anniversary and Vince decides to commemorate it with a tag title switch. Crowd pops huge and it is a great feel good moment. The whole 1-2-3 Kid storyline was really building to him winning a championship and a great time to pull the trigger. It is too bad the Kid would have a serious neck injury not too long after this. In an alternate universe, Kid & Jannetty are the ace babyface tag team of the mid-90s, they had some much potential. I thought this as a ton of fun. Great shine. Loved Jannetty getting the Victory Roll right off the bat. It showed the babfyaces were here to win. Lots of fun, quick moves. Dropkicks abound everything to keep the Champs off their feet, who may have been looking ahead to the Rumble against Bret & Owen Hart. There is a false finish during the break where Jannetty hits a superkick, but the Quebcer's foot was on the ropes. Ref still counted 3, huge pop, but they called it off and restarted the match. The Quebecers pulled down the top rope down during a Jannetty criss cross which led to a nasty spill to the floor, but it was not the heat segment as Jannetty crawled through the legs to tag Kid. KID WAS A AN AWESOME HOUSE OF FIRE! Loved the somersault from the top rope to the floor. He was nailing everything. The ref got distracted and they shoved him off the top rope. The Quebecers were great at treating Kid like a ragdoll. Tossing him around and kicking his ass. There could have been more hope spots. I felt Kid was dying and Quebecers were choking not getting the job done. Loved the Canonball move even if wasn't the finish. Finally Marty has had enough and interferes feel like there should have been more of that. Marty tags in short house afire and Suplex/Crossbody gets the win for Marty & The Kid! Huge pop! Macho Man rushes the ring to celebrate in a great feel good moment. Great way to commemorate the one year anniversary of RAW and only a taste of what should have been with the tag team of Marty & 1-2-3 Kid. ***1/2

    WWF World Tag Team Champions Steiners vs Quebcers - WWF RAW 9/13/93 Quebec Province Rules Reading some other reviews of this match, it seems the Quebecers were very new and that there was not much of build. It seems likely that Steiners were having a contract dispute this was a way to get the titles off them without hurting them in case they did re-commit or if they suddenly left they wouldn't be champs. The key clause in Quebec rules is of course the title can change on DQ which pretty much telegraphs the finish. There was apparently no build to this or why the hell the Steiners would agree to this. The Steiners shine is a bit clunky. The moves are good. I liked Rick's powerslams and Scotty's Tiger Driver which The Brain tries to sell as a piledriver as piledrivers are illegal in this match. They did a great job teasing DQs like Rick almost doing a piledriver, jumping off the top or clotheslining someone over the top and each time Scotty has to stop him. There was a lot of awakwardness in the beginning. Rick hit this weird splash and sold like he was on the hurt. Weird transitions and then Scotty would just hit a massive suplex. Once Johnny Polo came out and they went to the heat segment I thought this picked up. Basic transition Pierre clobbers Scotty from behind running the ropes and then Jacques slugs him. The heat segment was terrific just big bomb after big bomb. In terms of offense this match was great. It was juts four big dudes chucking each other. I loved the double team snake eyes on ropes. Tons of great double teams involving slamming the partner onto Scott. Jacques and Pierre looked vicious. Loved the cheating nonstop. Great climax with Boston Crab/legdrop combo only for Rick to save. Finish was pretty lame Rick cleans house, Scotty hits the Frankensteiner, but then gets the hockey stick after clobbering Johnny and cant resist the temptation of using it and that triggers the DQ and the loss of the titles. It is a Steiners match so it is big, dumb fun. Quebecers felt like heel Steiners with all their BIG offense and tons of great double teams. Some awkwardness early on, not much in terms of flow, but the heat segment ruled. I love some big offense so this was a good fireworks match. ***1/2

    WWF World Heavyweight Champion Yokozuna vs Bret Hart - WWF WrestleMania X Eevryone talks about the post-match celebration but I thought this was a damn solid match. I watched this in between a Sepultura and Testament set a couple weeks back and I was meaning to write a review, but I was kinda burnt out on writing. I really thought up until the finish this was damn good pro wrestling. Yokozuna was a great athletic, monster heel. He was constantly cheating. I don't think there was an underhanded tactic he didn't try. He also had some great big man offense. Bret as selling from the match against Owen and was tremendous in this match as a sympathetic babyface. The selling and the hope spots were great. The dropkick was nice. I LOVED, LOVED the headbutt and they both sell it. Hell, Yoko was really great at selling throughout the match. Bret, ever the thinker, comes up with unique ways to hit his offense and I appreciated that a lot. I think what hurts this the most is the lame finish on the missed Banzai Drop. I mean Yoko really never main evented again. Just let Bret put him in the Sharpshooter and really climax this bad boy. I thought this was a very entertaining WrestleMania Main event and is way too unheralded. ***1/2

    Marty Jannetty vs Doink The Clown - WWF RAW 6/21/93 2 Out Of 3 Falls Jannetty's ring attire is fantastic. The bandanas, zebra print and the colors just fucking bitchin! First fall was pretty fun. It is all about Doink trying to lure Jannetty into traps and Jannetty being both too smart and too fast for Doink. Liked the fake criss cross spot. Jannetty even kept up with Doink's arm work loved the armdrag spot. But Jannetty does finally fall into Doink's trap and Jannetty charges into the turnbuckles. Doink hits the WHOOPIE CUSHION FOR THE WIN! Doink up 1-0! Really enjoyed the second fall with my manufacturing co-workers from Waynesboro, VA. We all had a good time watching while making some badass product. Jannetty whiffing on that kick hard and Doink laughing at him was excellent. Loved Doink mocking Jannetty by crying. Jannetty was really good at selling. Goddamn Jannetty has a better superkick than Shawn at this point. Fist drop gets the win, liked how the ref was counting him down and Marty was all like fuck it. Gave it a bit of attitude. Fun second fall. Tied 1-1. Loved the third fall. Doink looks overwhelmed but grabs a leg and yanks Marty over into the corner and slams it into the post. Immediately into the figure-4. Loved the desperation. Great selling by both on the reversing the pressure. Doink was great on leg and Marty was great at the hope spots but still selling the leg (back body drop, reverse elbow). We see the second Doink come out and the fans tell Marty to look. Marty actually tries to be proactive but cant find the second Doink and BOOM eats a big big boot to the noggin. I liked the psychology there. They do a tease switch, but once the real switch comes in, the second Doink is just too crisp. He hits a sweet piledriver for the win and the ultimate injustice. The Macho Man just wont stand for this and pulls the real Doink from under the ring and that triggers the DQ. Fun, well-built and some good pro wrestling hoopla. Marty's offense and selling was great. Doink is a tremendous heel. Great match! ****

    Heenan managing Doink is not something I had ever thought of before, but I think that would have been classic! Mr. Perfect vs Doink The Clown - RAW 5/24/93 KOTR Qualifying Match I remember loving this match five years ago and I loved again. I am a total heel Doink mark. Just a fantastic character. Very evil clown, very evil. Vince sounds like Trump in this. Borne was so great technically. Loved the towel gimmick at the beginning with Doink taking cheapshots and then Doink gets cocky and Perfect clothesline him with the towel. The duel limb psychology was great. Doink was fantastic at selling the leg and working the arm. I thought there was some points where it dragged. But the finish was hot. I thought they worked hard. I really liked when Doink did a fireman's carry but didn't get up too fast, Perfect just grabbed a headscissors. That's just PERFECT! If someone is going to linger, make em pay. Great shit. Loved Doink's selling in all this comical but putting over the damage too. The Double Doink was finish was cute, but there should have been one false finish for Double Doink maybe a missed Whoopie Cushion would make sense, but I think short and sweet was the way to go. Perfectplex wins it and Perfect is on his way to KOTR where he would face the Hitman in a classic in the semifinals. Great TV match! ***3/4

    100% agree with Pete, this match was so overrated when it came out, it has now become underrated. I thought this was terrific Ric Flair vs Mr. Perfect - WWF RAW 1/25/93 Loser Leaves Town I almost feel like it is a crime to write "Mr. Perfect" because this is some great AWA Curt Hennig shit right here. I thought he was ferocious in this match. Everything was a stiff chop or a hard blow to the head. We all get on Perfect rightfully so for having shitty offense in WWF, but here he was Curt Fucking Hennig and just bringing it to the Nature Boy. I loved the slaps to start. They were hard slaps to get Flair off his game, but also FUCK YOU slaps for not believing in them even though they were friends. This is a very Flair by the numbers performance, but what makes it good is he responding to a fierce opponent. I liked Flair going for the chair on the outside. They hate each other and the stakes are high in this match (loser leaves town) and they are treating them as such. Hennig takes a nasty spill over the top rope and blades. Flair works the cut off and on well. I think one problem was this match was an overabundance of hope spots. Flair needed to get some real heat on Hennig, but they kept running hope spots. Hennig looked damn good don't get me wrong but it was hard to build momentum. Flair with the shin on the throat and the brass knux was great over the top heel touches. The figure-4 was a strong false finish I will say and Hennig tried to sell, but Flair was in total go-go-go mode. Hennig in that comeback was friggin awesome. Channeling Luger and Sting, but the was he contorted his face and how he was yelling at Flair made it feel personal before he unloaded with the chops and then TWO big Larry Ax Hennig forearms!!! FUCK YEAH! Perfectplex gets three!!! 1993 was a stellar year for Hennig. I think this match had a backlash to it, but it is a really damn good Hennig performance. The best since AWA in terms of fire and great offense. This feels like a huge blowoff to a blood feud with all the chops and strikes, blood and the big finish. Flair was very Flair here which means there is some good things like pace and fire, but some bad like letting too many hope spots happen and cramming too much in the finish. Don't overlook this match, give it a another chance and watch for a fired up Hennig performance because this aint no Mr. Perfect performance. ****

    Vader vs Ken Shamrock - WWF Cold Day In Hell Excellent debut showcase match for Shamrock. Vader is really the perfect wrestler for him in his debut. From a kayfabe standpoint, he is a big time monster with credibility. From a execution standpoint, he has the experience in UWFi and he is selfless. The beginning is all about getting Shamrock's unique style over. Everything Vader tries is stymied by either a strike, submission or takedown. So you get to see Shammy's diverse array of offense. I liked the pacing a lot. I loved Shamrock's posture, the forward leaning. Vader was great being pensive and cautious. You could feel Vader trying to figure Shammy out. When he catches him with that Short-Arm Clothesline, that's Vader bread & butter. Submission or knockout rules so Vader goes for a lot of submissions. We see Shamrock counter the armbar into a Triangle choke. In the bump of the match, Vader throws Shamrock over the top rope in a front suplex and Shamrock does not use anything to break his fall. I know this match is to get Shamrock over and I know Shamrock would wipe the floor with Vader in a shoot, but goddamn Vader's stuff just looks so much more brutal. I really think that's where Shamrock went wrong. He was a legit badass but his shit did look as dangerous or brutal as Vader's even if it was. Vader just destroys him, loved the rear naked choke. Vader goes for the Vadersault misses. Like I said I thought this was perfectly paced from shine to heat to the finish. Vader was a total pro in here. Shamrock starts overwhelming Vader with strikes until Vader CLOBBERS him with a wild right. Nice false finish, Vader falls into an anklelock and taps out. From a layout, really perfect, strong transitions, no segment overstayed its welcome. Vader was so selfless made Shamrock look amazing in the beginning and finish. I will say it feels like Vader has lost a step. That match was made to make Shamrock look like a star and be competitive and I think they did that. I will say Shamrock's stuff did not look all that brutal. Overall, damn great debut match and really shows how great Vader was not just at pro wrestling but leading a match. ****

    I originally read this as "Woman's Hair" and I was like people besides me as obsessed with Woman's hair? She had great hair. But I think Im on an island for loving BIG hair! I wish there was a chick rocking some big hair. Becky has great hair.
  11. Superstar Sleeze
    This sucks! I heard the way they wrote em out of TV last week I was hoping it was just a work to put over the brutality of the match. I hope BROCK VS BRAUN still happens.
  12. Superstar Sleeze
    I watched the promo from the week before from Dangerously I was like Jesus he is acting like Piper and I thought did I never notice that before, but I think it was just this time period.

    Terry Funk vs Sabu - ECW 4/19/94 Terry Funk piledrove Sabu from the top rope on an open chair. NOW THATS HARDCORE! For those keeping track at home, Douglas beat Funk for the title in March and Douglas is still with Sherri. He won by basically suffocating Funk with a plastic bag. There are things that ECW does in 94 that seem too extreme even for Attitude Era or Russo WCW. They really love the plastic bag as Funk does it with Heyman here after Heyman cracks him with the phone. This is an impromptu match as it was supposed to be Funk vs Mr. Hughes (Douglas' bodyguards), but he got waylaid by the Blu Brothers. I watched a Public Enemy promo before this and play total morons so well. I know they aren't too well-loved but I thought their gimmick was pretty funny. I wouldn't say this was as good as their non-ECW stuff from 83 & 94, but this was still pretty entertaining. Sabu kicks Funk's ass at the beginning, great punches and good use of chair for the clothesline over the top. Nice transition with Sabu missing the legdrop. Funk heabutts him busts himself open and a wicked DDT on the floor. Sabu is actually pretty damn good at selling. It does get a little spotty after this but the spots are good like Funk hitting a standing piledriver on a chair or Sabu somersault plancha or the aforementioned spot where Funk piledrives Sabu from the top to the open chair. Was pretty eye-popping insane. Finish was well set up, Sabu crashes through table sells it really well. Funk has to fight off the masked goons to apply Spinning Toehold, but the last goon gets to him and hits a top rope elbow drop to garner Sabu the victory and it is BOBBY EATON! Styles sells the Dangerous Alliance connection. ARN FREAKING ANDERSON makes the save to a huge pop and oddly felt like Arn was a giant star. Arn is one of the ultimate mid-carder guys like the best possible second banana. This moment might be the one time when he felt like the man and it happens on a random ECW Arena show from April 94. Pretty surreal seeing The Enforcer give Sabu a DDT in the ECW Arena. Loved the post-match and the match itself was full of energy and crazy spots. ***1/2

    Yeah this is definitely the type of the match that would be awesome love. Terry Funk vs Sabu - WWN 2/28/94 Terry Funk atomic drops Sabu onto a chair! ***** Total mindless fun, which is what I needed. Both are so good at the fundamentals so the headbutts, punches and chops all look great. The piledrivers are great as is taking out Paul E with one. What makes this special is all the insane highspots with Sabu destroying a table, Funk piledriving him on a broken table, Funk with a legitimately good moonsault and Sabu nearly killing himself with a springboard 450. The fact this is a fancam only adds to the chaos because sometimes outta nowhere Sabu will just fly into the screen and die. Sabu attacks the ref during his camel clutch. Whole thing gets thrown out. So Sabu brings a table into the ring and breaks it himself with a moonsault. It is one of those so stupid it is great things. Very enjoyable. Just turn your brain off and let it ride. ***3/4

    ECW Heavyweight Champion Sabu vs Terry Funk - ECW Holiday Hell WE WANT BLOOD! WE WANT BLOOD! WE WANT BLOOD! This was a fun mess. Sabu with his original Hannibal Lecter gimmick on the stretcher and the mask was great. Sabu was a violent maniac and I loved his mannerisms at the beginning. Always moving forward. He was a monster. Some great punches and loved the chairs. Funk's piledrivers looked great. I watched the Hardcore TV version so it was pretty clipped, but I feel like the fans got their money's worth even if this was not a classic. The Rotten brothers are Terry Funk's back up, hilarious. I loved Sabu throwing Funk and then the ref into the table and getting a huge pop for throwing the ref into the table. Yep it is the 90s and it is ECW BABY! Sabu all of sudden does a moonsault to the outside on the Rotten brothers and takes me off guard. I loved the finish run because it was energetic. Sabu crashes and burns on the table and then Funk puts the Spinning Toe Hold on him like he is facing Harley Race in 1975, great. Paul E. cracks the phone, but now Shane Douglas attacks and it is a clusterfuck. Douglas puts Funk on Sabu to win the title. I think because Douglas has a match with Funk on January 7th because Paul E pimps that about seven times in his post-match promo. Funk's dog story always kills and it is funny that the Rotten brothers are involved. I have no idea who the hell the heel or babyface is in this three way cluster fuck is, but I think that's the point. It is about chaos. Entertaining enough and recommended for historic purposes. I imagine Sabu fucks Funk/Douglas and that leads to the Night the Line Was Crossed.
  17. Superstar Sleeze
    I liked the match from January 82 quite a bit. This match was godawful. I can't get that diving headbutt, pickup side headlock, back drop driver transition out of my mind. Terrible!
  18. Superstar Sleeze
    It is. The weird thing was it didn't feel heated at all to me even thought it felt like it should. The match was just so disjointed
  19. Superstar Sleeze
    Don't let this one scare you off. They have a classic in July that is just awesome. Huge fight feel. Really feels like Kojima is a superstar. Probably the only time I have ever felt that way about him. So check out the July 2002 match.

    Some crazy stiff shots from Maeda early on. Then some boring matwork. Then the groin shot from Maeda. You can tell Sayama felt it, but at the same time he is masking the pain. Man he wont even fucking sell being shoot kneed in the balls. My Lord! Maeda looks like a giant next to Sayama. So whats the deal here? UWF closes on 9/11 just nine days after. Was business already in the shitter? Did this cause UWF to close? Did the boys side with Maeda? Did Maeda see the writing on the wall and go into business for himself? Was Maeda just sick of jobbing to a dude a foot shorter than him? Did he think Inoki would push him harder because of this? Everybody besides Sayama returns to New Japan January of 86. are we sure this was not a work? What the hell is going?
  21. Superstar Sleeze
    I am pretty sure it is one from Winnipeg. I recall it being relatively long. The fact my review says Da Crusher was involved means it was in the AWA.

    WWF & NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion Tiger Mask vs Dynamite Kid - NJPW 4/21/83 HOLY CLUSTERFUCK, BATMAN! I thought the Kobayashi match was bad. This had no psychology, awful transitions and weird WCW-like booking in the middle of the match. Also it is not surprising at all that Dynamite cant walk today because he looked like he broke his back about three different times in this mayhem, I actually like their 82 match for the record. The beginning of this is not bad at all. Basic story is Tiger Mask is deadly out in the open so Dynamite has to keep him wrapped up. So Tiger Mask is supplying all the energy and highspots. Dynamite is just wrapping him up any chance he gets besides a nice missile dropkick. Tiger Mask show what he can do with this insane dive that wipes out Dynamite who hits his neck/back on the railing. Dynamite catches him coming off the top, hits the missile dropkick and then wraps him up. Basically that's the beginning, Tiger Mask goes for a high spot and usually missed and Dynamite wraps him up. I dig it. Dynamite goes for the diving headbutt, but Tiger Mask wriggles free. Good escalation. Then the match goes to Hell. Tiger Mask hits this dive onto Dynamite and Dynamite hits the railing straight on his back HARD! He topples over it. The ref calls for the bell. No countout. I was thinking wow that was sudden. I thought Dynamite legit broke his fucking back. They climb back into the ring but as if a match is not going on. Then Dynamite just attacks him. TOMBSTONE! Um ok. Ref pulls him off calls for a DQ. Now Dynamite wants to wrestle and is on the mic. Finally the ref relents. Dynamite kills him with a tombstone and then diving headbutt. In what I think may be the WORST transition in history, Dynamite picks him up puts on a side headlock and eats a Back Drop Driver. WHAT THE FUCK! I get you don't want to kill your finish. Heres a hint don't fucking hit your finish. But you don't think Tiger Mask immediately hitting the next move does not kill your finish. Tiger Mask tombstone piledriver. Dynamite too close to the ropes. HELLO! That's how you protect your finish. Tiger Mask crashes and burns on a dive to outside. Tiger Mask whips Dynamiet Kid WICKED HARD into the railing. Dynamite says fuck this noise and is going to leave I have no clue how he is standing. He grabs the bell. He headbutts the ref twice and there is NO DQ?!?!? When did I wake up in WCW? They end this match in the most fitting way possible. Like it is the most Tiger Mask & Dynamite Kid thing ever. Tiger Mask hits a tombstone piledriver on the floor. Dynamite Kid hits a tombstone piledriver on the floor. Double countout. Fuck this match. I blame Dynamite Kid vs Tiger Mask for everything.

    WWF & NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion Tiger Mask vs Kuniaki Kobayashi - NJPW 1/6/83 Pretty cool that Tiger Mask was both NWA & WWF Junior Heavyweight Champion at the same time. Absolutely night & day between this and his awesome UWF stuff, Tiger Mask is just throwing shit out there and seeing what sticks. I now understand why he gets a lot of hate from fans because there are just a lot of awkward portions in this match. People standing around waiting to be kicked. Building to a finish run and plopping into a short arm scissors. At least Tiger Mask had awesome spots to draw on, Kobayashi could not decide what he wanted to do. It was a mess that did coalesce into a hot finish run. I have no problem with spotfests at all. Tiger Mask can hit some really jaw-dropping spots. I thought his back drop driver looked crisp. His dive to the outside was totally out of control and awesome as he nailed the railing. The tombstone was great and love that as the setup for the moonsault, which missed. His kicks looked great not as good as UWF. His submissions were fine. Everything from an offensive perspective was there just not put together. Selling from each guy was non-existent and there was no consequence to moves. Kobasyahi gets a "nearfall" in the form of almost countout finish. Tiger Mask catches him and they go over the top. Tiger Mask does hit an awesome German suplex on the floor. He beats the count to win the match. The finish stretch almost makes this worth it, but the first 2/3rds is a clusterfuck. I will say everybody must see the spot of the match, which did make me pop big time on my couch. Tiger Mask hits a backflip mule dropkick perfectly. It was insanely incredible. It really is amazing this is the same guy having those matches with Fujiwara just a couple years later in UWF.
  24. Superstar Sleeze
    Interesting I'll watch more closely but I thought Mania match was better once she was eliminated and worked around exposed turnbuckle. I'll be on the lookout in this match from RAW. I watch RAW on Saturday
  25. Superstar Sleeze
    Care to expound on the Murdoch/Fujinami pick? I was just reading my review sounds like it climaxed early with the dive and blood, but then quickly rushed to an anti-climatic. Interested on yoru thoughts why that would be a MOTYC?
