  1. For not having a true rudo team this match sure had a lot of hate. Satanico and Cruz getting into it was great. Atlantis with the blind twisting senton for a fall was fucking nuts. Azteca and Dandy get into it a little bit, but not as much as I expect they will going forward.
  2. It's incredible how everyone is treating Robocop like some real thing. I'm trying to figure if it's a good kind of incredible or bad kind.
  3. Post-match was incredible. Sting should probably stay away from the Horsemen until his knee is better. He's proving to be just as dumb as Chris Champion in the USWA.
  4. Not much to like about the 'Birds at this point even with a fired up Michael Hayes. You just know there's going to be a match and Garvin is going to be involved. Cornette sucking up to the RnRs was absolute gold.
  5. Wrestling needs way, WAY more stuff like this. Send a guy out with some class and dignity who has done a lot for the promotion. And he is sill pushing all of the current angles and urging fans to continue showing up over taking the limelight. You will be missed Mr. Lowrance.
  6. Really good trios. I was waiting for the dive section of the match and they threw me with Dandy accidentally backdropping Charles onto Atlantis right into the finish. MS1 vs. Satanico looks like a feud I could really get into.
  7. Tatum really lays on the creepiness with Tessa. Tessa is allll kinds of trashy hair metal hot. And she manages to look empty-headed pretty well, then does a good job of being scared of Tatum as the match progresses. Tony Falk needs to stop getting in the way. Some good punch exchanges between Tatum and Dundee.
  8. One of his less out there promos. I mean, it's still out there, but you kind of get what he's going for anyway.
  9. Flair's ponytail is incredible. Great promo too, but that ponytail....
  10. Jake cuts a good promo again. My question is whether or not Vince knew he could stick Jake in garbage angles and he'd get them at least somewhat over.
  11. Damnit Cox. Now you have me thinking how incredible it would be for Atlas to come in as a heel in the Memphis side of USWA. Christ, him working a lengthy program with a babyface Lawler would be ludicrously good.
  12. Martel kills it here. Even if the matches suffer from him being a heel, the promos get a huge boost.
  13. Valiant and Lawler carry off their roles perfectly, but the crowd still won't boo him. Loved Valiant's "Go fish!" line.
  14. Valiant can't even keep Lawler a heel, which is making Lawler's heel run seem like it's got a short shelf-life. Fun stuff from Valiant though.
  15. I'm not entirely alone in thinking Lawler was getting a little too over for his own good here then. He's going to need to turn soon. There's no way we can pretend he's a heel very much longer like this. I knew as soon as they mentioned the 10 minute time limit we'd see overtime. But they executed it well and it gets across what needs to be gotten across.
  16. Seriously?!? The Pillman match hyped here is not on tape??? Well, we can imagine how amazing it was anyway. Good promo and Woman in 1990 is absolutely stunning. She still looks good in 1998-9, but you could see how the industry had worn her down a little bit. Here she is just gorgeous.
  17. Great re-intro for Hogan after the loss. It takes all of the negative stuff that could come out of the loss to Warrior and disproves it in one nice, compact package. Hogan's reaction to the crowd is exceptional, as mentioned above. Never been a fan, but Hogan does really well with this. Brother Love brings it as well, introducing the fallen hero Hogan as fanatically as you could hope for.
  18. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, Tenryu. Baba, for all his nice guy routine, was not a guy you wanted to piss off.
  19. I can see the complaints that it's never going to work, making Rude a serious challenger. But you know what, these promos are absolute gold. Rude and Heenan carry off their roles perfectly. Mainly I think this kind of thing could have worked (if he could have pulled it off) for Luger in the NWA. A more serious, less cartoony promotion would have gotten way more mileage out of this kind of deal.
  20. I can see the comparisons with Borne and Piper. It's this still-there-but-crazy-enough sense that you know can't be good for the opponent. And Borne does a great job of not yet being full-on heel. He's just overly ambitious at this point, so he may still turn it around (good luck with that). And yeah, fuck Kevin von Erich. If I never see him wrestle again it will make me a happy man.
  21. Man, those sure look like awesome lenses. Young gets really frustrated too. Break damn you!!
  22. The cover of the song is distracting me from the awesomeness of the video package. Lawler as a heel is not fun to watch in full matches, but the snippets are good. Also, I want to see that slugfest with the Dutchman in full.
  23. Austin cuts a good promo, Adams is upset with his choice of women. Why Adams, the guy who has the temper, is walking away after that slap is beyond me. Austin and Jeannie are tight-lipped about her connection to Adams.
  24. Yeah, shame we don't get to see that match because now I want to. Gossett taking a beating from 4 guys seems like something worth watching. Also, could he get up to answer a 10 count after getting beaten up by one guy??
