    I can't disagree with any of the above. Honestly it's a shame the Rockers had to implode the way they did. Michaels the tag team specialist is so much better than Michaels the singles wrestler.

    Have I mentioned that Beefcake really, really, REALLY sucks? Because he very much does.

    I liked this a lot. The pinfall attempts take away from it for sure. But it is a hyper-intense war with both guys beating each other senseless, so maybe that explains the pins.

    Hogan tagging himself in was 100% in character and it's a great setup for the feud, especially after the Rumble incident. Otherwise, Perfect makes this match.

    I wanted to love this match. But Liger needed to have more offense sprinkled in through the beatdown. Sano was on top for way too long to not put him away if that was going to happen.

    Good promo from Dusty, but no surprise there. Somewhere to stick it is some kind of way to end a promo. Especially after the whole "year of the woman, Rick Rude has been treating women bad" stuff.

    Dudes needed to not be here. Douglas murdered the ending and didn't really impress with anything. Ace didn't fare any better. Freebirds seemed like they were looking for face reactions, odd. Jimmy Garvin was thankfully not overly involved. Midnights/RnRs stuff was good, but too much bullshit around that to really impress.

    Nothing really new to add, but that airplane spin by Savage was incredible. As was the tumble. For two guys in midcard Hell, they put on a pretty good show.

    I'm no huge fan of "hide the chain" Lawler, but it had to be done. There was no way he could have worked an actual wrestling match as long as this went on with JYD otherwise. You work with what you've got.

    Was not a fan of this. Long stretches of not much interesting at all happening killed it for me.

    I would count myself as a Marc Lowrance fan. Also, after a few things on this set I am a Billy Joe Travis fan. The guy is a stellar heel. Ending angle is all kinds of awesome. This ranks only behind Tenryu's meltdowns so far for me on the set.

    I _love_ Tenryu in this match. Whatever Takagi did to piss Tenryu off, don't ever do that. Tenryu goes after Takagi like a maniac and makes another throwaway tag something special. Oh and he also goes after everyone at ringside not wearing a Revolution jacket. God damn I love Tenryu!
  13. dawho5
    Tenryu is really the only reason to watch this. He seems like he's finally finding that "Tenryu" character and beginning to explore it where in 89 he was still just "the guy chasing Jumbo who is slightly angry about it".

    i'd agree that the match could have lost 5 minutes and been much better. It was a perfectly good match for being a set-up to the 6-man match though. And we get a beleivable false finish to go with some incredible spots towards the finish. Works for me.

    I thought it was a really good TV match. I don't think the point was to have a blow-you-away great match, so what they did was just right. I agree that we could have used a little more Arn comeback at the end, but that's quibbling.

    So can someone describe to me why Brutus was ever considered a babyface or over with the fans? Not seeing it.

    I thought Heenan was brilliant here. Slick and Sherri did really well also. Hart didn't sound real convincing, but that would have been hard and I've never been much of a Fuji fan.

    Count me in on the Sting looking out of place feeling. There's got to be something up because fresh-faced, innocent, pure Sting does not fit the Horsemen mold at all.

    Here is my dilemma after watching this. People can't watch Benoit matches because he murdered his family. I get that. But they can watch Lawler promos where he is flat out racist, which could be the truth of it, without batting an eye? I understand that racism is not murder. And I can separate performance and the human being behind the performance. It's just afterwards that I start wondering how much of what Lawler says is nonsense to get over as a heel and how much he actually agrees with. All that said, he is absolutely brilliant here in the role he plays. Marlin and Brown do great as well, but they've both been in their respective roles long enough that it's no surprise. I suppose the reason Cobra was champ had a lot to do waith a. race-baiting by Lawler to get him over as a heel and b. not many guys are going to sit through that for the kind of money they would get in Memphis.
  20. dawho5
    That's two amazing videos featuring some of the most godawful singing and dancing you've ever seen so far...on disc 1 alone! Something about the Memphis area and great uses of music to enhance character on TV should be mentioned as well. Not many ever did it better.
  21. dawho5
    I liked Lawler missing the bit where Cobra bought into the match because he was on the phone also. Played off of the earlier segment so damn perfectly. Not sure of the racism from Lawler is funny or a little disturbing, but it makes him a great heel. Also, count me among the impressed on the "scentless" exchange. Wrestling needs way, way more on-the-fly promos.
  22. dawho5
    I loved this for all the reasons mentioned above. I thought Dave Brown did a tremendous job also. Lawler is really great cutting a heel promo, probably better than as a babyface because he can work more of his too-clever jokes in as an annoyance.

    Being a Kawada fanboy (proud to say I am still one) I missed a lot of the Fuyuki hype on earlier watchings of Footloose. He is clearly at least as good as Kawada at this point and I'm wondering when he fell off a cliff. This match is one of those great AJPW midcard workrate matches that didn't necessarily need a lot of psychology to do it's job. Just some guys out there killing themselves to put on a show. Kada, Fuyuki and Fulton killing themselves to add some hate to it was just a bonus.

    Young Eddie is really great. Santo is awesome as always. Mando is better than Blue Demon by far, as already mentioned. Angle at the end is annoying at best because it's just so stupid. Hard to believe anyone could fall for that.
  25. dawho5
    Loved this bit of cheese. The fat guys dancing around while walking down the street and clearly getting into it is just so....bizarre and train-wrecky....it absolutely works! Great intro to the set.
