    This match to me served two purposes. 1. Keep building Kobashi up as a plucky kid full of fighting spirit. 2. Introduce us to the real Toshiaki Kawada, you know the surly bastard who likes to kick people in the face and just generally be a dick. Love watching that guy.

    Here's the thing about Bobby Eaton's 1990. There are a lot of wrestlers who would kill to have a singles match this good with only their prior history as a build. Because it is a very, very good match. That it compares so unfavorably with even his recent singles work says a Hell of a lot.

    Smothers is one crazy bastard at the end. Pretty good match, but I've seen better recently. Again with the BS finish.

    To be fair, they were bound to be pissed at Taue. He had left their side and joined Jumbo's army. Death to the damned traitor! Anyway, really great tag match with Kawada looking waaay more like Kawada than he has to this point. Why did Taue drop doing the elbows when he got pissed at Misawa anyway? Seemed like one of the highlights to me.

    I suppose one thing you have to expect when you put marquee singles matches on the TV shows like this, finishes will be wonky. Especially given we are one year removed from the 80s. Good match on the level of the Eaton match. I like that you can look at Arn and Eaton in this series and really get a picture of how they worked.

    Didn't care much for this. Too much interference so Flair could be half-assed protected. I think the standardized Flair Broomstick Match on fast-forward would have worked far better here.

    Count me in as appalled by the announcing. The match wasn't any good either, but the announcing trumped it in so many ways.

    I remember Heenan saying something about Rude never really wanting him as his manager. Rude apparently felt that Bobby stole some of his heat. You might take this as at least matching Bobby's performance in an attempt to seem like the alpha of the group.

    Bossman and Heenan do some great work here. Bobby is incredible, but I imagine Vince thinks he's too old to keep doing crazy shit like that bump during the segment. His freaking out while handcuffed to the guard rails is so great.

    Eddie shows a little bit of range in this, which I like. It still seems like a very Eddie Gilbert thing to bitch and moan about the car you won, then turn around and complain about it being stolen.

    Pettipas wrestles way different than you would expect, but nothing too special. Rogers is really, really good. I'm in the same boat wondering why he's in Grand Prix. He's at least good enough to be on the WCW midcard if not a bit better.

    I disagree on the Zenk hot tag, but I am pretty biased to do that. Pillman was a lot of fun against both Flair and Arn. Not sure I've ever seen a DQ for a move done on the floor.

    I thought Brother Love did great with this. I am in agreement that this was a terrible idea, but the execution seems to work for the people involved, including Piper.

    Bobby Eaton is so incredible. Scotty is good at this point, but not near good enough to have a match like this without a LOT of help.

    I'll echo a lot of the above. The guitar shot and strut, the well-timed comebacks, the crowd and Caras being a complete dick about taking off the mask. Not the most technical or spectacular match, but it works.

    Satanico sure got hot quick after taking an accidental shot from Dandy. Nice chaotic end to things though.

    Luger really delivers and it's kinda strange for me to see Hansen cutting promos. He's not overly great, but gets the job done. I'd say he's better as a physical presence stomping around and menacing everyone in sight. Good way to hype the match though.

    Piper hardly killed the gimmick. The gimmick killed Tony Atlas really. What the Hell was the point of dressing a guy with the promo chops Atlas had like this exactly? Was this where Vince started to protect himself with the "You didn't make you, I made you" kind of shit he does all the time now?

    Dusty delivers big again with a promo. And you know, Dusty vs. Ted doesn't sound like a bad matchup in-ring at all. Even without the great promos involved.
  21. dawho5
    So everywhere Sid goes he is going to rule the world? Not a bad promo, but I'm not sure there are any different Sid promos out there.

    I'll echo the opinions on Sherri. She is so incredible. Warrior holds up his end more than well enough, which is a shocker.

    Count me in on liking the Ace/Fulton interactions. I'm pretty certain I've never seen a bad Fantastics match in AJPW. Makes me wonder if they couldn't have bolstered the cruiserweight division in WCW a few years later.

    Could have used at least 10 minutes less of the 3 (or 4) on 2 rudo beatdown. I guess we had to establish that the tecnicos are still tough.

    Finish worked for what the match was, but Yatsu needed to be more assertive if he was going to be a foil for Tenryu.
