I watched a few hours of GCW TV leading up to this match to get hyped up. These shows are sometimes rapid-fire and also sorta clipped by nature, so this is more of a listing than a review I guess:

Gordon Solie: You know in every sport of course, injuries are...expected, and, many times, however, injuries can be so debilitating that they begin to effect you emotionally. And I can't help think that Mr. Sawyer that emotionally perhaps you're just a little bit...
Buzz Sawyer: There's a lot of emotional things going on in my life right now, a lot of things happen, a lot of people in my life that I haven't seen in a long time. It's bringing back memories, bringing back times when I was a little boy...bringing back times when I think I'd grow up to be a bigger boy. You know, sometimes I sit back and I think, yeah, I'm the Mad Dog and I'm The Best There Is and I've never denied that and I've always said that and I always believed in it. But get that camera up here on me and you'll see that I've changed my mind! Life has changed me!
Wrestling has changed me!
Tommy Rich...you have changed me.
