    Once I saw Eaton vs. Arn I was excited. Then about halfway through I started doing little stuff around the room while half paying attention. These guys have better in them.

    Incredible footage. The sheer size of the funeral is just staggering.

    We all know why Hogan wasn't selling. He is the unconquerable American hero. This is Vince land and i think what we got was more vulnerability than he would have wanted.

    Good tag match. Finish is still such an 80s finish. WCW seems plagued by that.

    This was a great build-up to Virgil finally snapping. He's right there, but DiBiase still has just enough control over Virgil to keep him in check. Brilliant.

    HEALED! This is the kind of stuff that the WWF did well. You know it's all BS, but it's so over the top and done with the right commitment that it works as a schlocky parody of a televangelist.

    This here is.....just absolutely amazing. Barry and Arn are fucking badasses here. Arn at his absolute best and Barry is not more than a step behind. Two things not related to this promo directly. 1. Barry wasted so much talent if he had this in him. 2. I sincerely hope that WCW fired the moron who came up with this idea and put it on TV. I mean, it looks nothing like what WCW is supposed to look like. It accomplishes more than what it sets out to do, doesn't shoot itself in the foot and delivers on every possible level. Lets get with the program and do this the WCW way.

    Scott on the mic is godawful, which is no surprise given how bad he was 9 years later.

    The Virgil stuff is absolutely amazing. Seriously awesome stuff that was LONG time coming. Ted is incredible and deserves a lot of credit for making everything at least barely work given some of the garbage he was involved in.

    Awesome turn. Corny as a heel is a welcome sight anywhere. But even more so in Mempho!

    Great hype for a match we all know can't be what they are hyping it up as. Even so, Vader vs. Hansen anywhere is at least good.

    The hanging bit was really well-done. All of the promos as well. Top end Memphis really delivers on a lot of levels that the bigger promotions just don't.

    One of the posters above captured my feeling on this. Dusty is back home. Love ya big Dust! Anyone else think these WOTY and other awards were just WCW-booked hype at this point?

    Terrence Garvin can go away anytime.

    Sid was the story for me here. Who knew the guy could work?

    I thought brawling into the darkened portions of the Sportatorium was a sketchy decision at best. Why highlight how small the crowd is? Fine match, but that was what stood out for me.

    It looked like Hokuto's arm was injured they way she really wasn't using it. One of the better joshi matches I have ever seen, loved the laser focus on the story instead of trying to go big at the end.

    The Fabs! Cornette! YES!!! Don't care how long it lasts, just gonna enjoy it while it does.

    Normally not a fan of the "big girl using weapons over and over" joshi stuff, but they made it work for me. I'm a blood and guts guy when it comes to wrestling, but this kind of stuff does not do it for me enough to put it in the top tier of matches, even with the great Aja vs. Bull dynamic.

    I like the Dandy/Satanico matches more, but I do think this one had something good going for it. Brazo's pacing is so perfect for being the big guy, bruiser type worker in the match. You know who is in charge based on how fast the wrestlers are moving. Brazo keeps things super slow and methodical, never letting Santo get to his more accelerated pace if he can help it. Just slowly beating the tar out of him. Then Santo gets to his up-tempo offense and he's struggling to keep it up so Brazo doesn't go back to his methodical beatdown. Very good work on showing the difference in styles.

    This match was absolutely shocking for me. I loved it, but one thing kept going through my head. Did they plan all of this? Did they let anyone KNOW they planned any of it? Did Vince chew their ass afterwards for all of that...wrestling?!? that was going on? All told, great tag match and I wish there were more of these in the WWF.

    One of my favorite AJPW matches of the 90s. I know they get "better" and all, but something this simple can be just as incredible to watch when well-executed. And these guys are already at a level that rivals some of the best Stateside brawls I've ever seen.
  23. dawho5
    Nothing special, but still worth watching if you ask me. Both are all-time greats, they just rarely seem to come up big against the other.

    Warrior kind of stays on script here. He at least aims his comments in the right direction even if they are hard to understand due to Warrior-speak. Is it possible the guy wanted to stand out so much he refused to use normal words way past the point of sanity?

    Fujinami brought the fire late. I thought early on Vader was a little too giving with the Fujinami slaps. Mostly well-executed if not overly inspiring up until Vader's eye started bleeding.
