Thing for me about this match was that everyone looked really limited with a few exceptions. But they worked the 10 man tag aspect of ti well enough that you never got too much of the limitations. Everybody got to really play to their strengths and to me it was one of those "sum > parts" kinds of matches because of how it was worked. -
Terry throwing river mud in Hansen's face was pretty awesome too.
-
I also got the heel ref vibe here. Seemed like he was on Finlay's side most of the time. Regardless, very fun clash of styles match with Wright adapting to Finlay's style by the end.
-
What a great heavyweight slugfest! I thought Vader sold that knee really well towards the end. If that wasn't an injury, he did a HELL of a job selling.
-
Espectrito is so fun to watch. Sagrada is pretty damn impressive as well. I also loved the athletic feats aspect of this as each time somebody came into the ring they basically used the ropes to jump their entire height or more.

Jake continues to be one of my favorite promos in 1990. He has such a great sense of what his character is and uses it so well.
-
Animal is new to me, but he comes across really well here. He's clearly not at Choshu's level but doesn't care one bit. Great little sprint and I agree that Choshu is best when he doesn't need to recycle his 5 big spots over and over in longer matches.

A little long, but I can't help but see the logic in garreta's thinking. Both guys know they can't plow the other over, so they do a little more weardown type stuff before going back to trying to beat each other senseless.
-
Liger going off on Aoyagi was priceless. Took a bit to get there, but it makes for a very entertaining finish.
-
Dandy walking away from Azteca in frustration was absolutely brilliant. His avoidance of Atlantis was pretty good stuff also. Not a ton going on here, but they make it worth your while.
-
Tatum kicks so much ass in this gimmick. Percy is worlds better than Craig on commentary, but it's so weird that he's even there in that function.
-
Pringle being the babyface PBP guy really threw me. Good stuff from both Jeannie and Austin.
-
I thought Kobashi was looking really gassed out towards the end. The opening sequence was so well-executed. I liked the mini brawl a lot, shades of things to come. The legwork in a Kawada vs. Kobashi match is necessary, I tell you. It HAS to happen. I wonder if the booking wasn't intentionally trying to slow walk Kawada away from being a junior at this point. A little more heavyweight style stuff added in to all the juniors spots, start phasing some of those spots out gradually.

Not sure what to say about this. Percy vs. Chris is kind of a disturbing addition to this feud as a whole. We barely see the match due to the Percy/Chris stuff. Bleh.
-
Spinks promo is all kinds of hilarious, as is Lawler's reaction to it. Doesn't seem real heelish for Lawler though.
-
This si the kind of manipulative that anyone selling anything strives for. Just amazing stuff with the way the video was put together and the sad version of Real American.
-
Tatum throwing Overbow into the crowd was a shocking moment for sure. Imagine the possible lawsuits!
-
Kerry and all 3 manager being there kind of killed this for me. Good stuff, but easily the least of the matches in this feud so far.
-
I thought Lawler was the perfect guy for this. He carried it off well too.
-
Jeannie really impresses as a complete bitch. Austin ragging on Johnson's rambling question is kind of a glimpse into the future.
-
I like seeing Dundee, Jarrett and DWB back in the Memphis studio. Need more than Lawler and the occasional highlight of Ron Fuller in this side of the territory.
-
I loved this match for the aggression and the fire Takada showed. Maeda teasing the suplex early in the finishing run, then going to it again to set up the kneebar was absolute genius.
-
To be fair, the Midnights could wrestle circles around the 'Birds. Fun promo with Corny getting the last shot in after the 'Birds leave.
-
Flair works his ass off for no good reason to make JYD look good. Gets Sting back into things, but the road there was not something worth remembering.
-
This was a lot of fun. In fact, I think it's a good tag match. But that makes it disappointing given who is involved. Kudos to everyone involved for trying something new though. Bold step in an organization that seems to want to move backwards.
