This is right up my alley. The legwork makes a ton of sense as the one thing your opponent leaves open when going after your legs are their own. Please tell me there are more matches from these 2 on tape?
-
I think a part of the problem is MVC going for restholds right in the middle of the big finishing sequence. Then again, they seem to like their restholds. -
Crowd was not super into Vader right away. I like Sting giving Vader a bunch of offense to make him credible before the shine. I loved this match as David vs. Goliath, with David getting a little too ambitious for his own good when he had Goliath on the ropes. Awesome stuff and probably my MOTY so far.

I was a huge fan of Austin in this match too. He's a power wrestler who bumps like a junior and shows good technique. It's kind of a ridiculous combination. The match does get slow in spots, but that may be due to the time they give it. Great shine, great heat, the crowd ate up the hot tag and really got behind Dustin. Maybe not the best these guys had, but they were wrestling later on the show too.

Pillman looked super off here. He just was out of position or not paying attention about 33% of the time he was in the ring. Sleeze and I are 100% in agreement on Liger/Steamer. I was hoping and praying they had a singles match on tape somewhere because it looks like it would be AMAZING. I thought Koloff did well, especially against Liger. Oddly, Koloff was more entertaining than Pillman for most of this. Still a fun match that has great stuff in between the question marks. The interview with Watts was fine. At least we know, even if it is stupid.

Great video for Savage. Loved the slo-mo elbow drops.
-
If you're going to build a monster, I would say this is the way to do it. Silver looked like he was trying to salvage his pride after that beating he took for a bit there and I wondered how wise that was. But it did work out in the end.
-
Impressive footage of Ronnie for sure, but it was obviously really old. Despite that, I love having somebody on the babyface side who not only can even the odds against the likes of DWB and Orndorff, but is more than willing to play dirty right back.

I don't know about better than the Kroffat/Furnas match. I love that match a lot. This one is right up there though. Fuchi is amazing in that he rarely does anything that is spectacular at all, but he's so good at everything he does you don't even notice. Kikuchi really brought it in this match and I loved the staredown with Fuchi. I know Kikuchi didn't get many wins over Fuchi, so I am always stoked when I watch one.

Great promo, but I was surprised to see Pritchard.
-
I'd agree on the promos being the highlight. I do want to see Jackie Fargo come in and destroy the Dogs (or at least the clip version). One quibble. If the piledriver is such a killer move, how did the Moondog manage to roll over and pin Jarrett so soon even with interference?
-
The match was really good and I loved Eddie's reaction to the special referee. Good detail work on the holds and Morton is way more versatile than anyone thinks he is. I would like to point out that they are recycling the Flair/Lawler World Title match from the 80s pretty blatantly.
-
I can't believe they wanted Razor to pay for his food. The nerve of some people.
-
I loved this compared to the AJW style. Everything had meaning and room to breathe before the next major development came along. Loved the arm work after Oz realized there was no way she was going to beat Kansai at her own game. And Kansai's selling. As a BTW, if a person who knew how to kick did that to somebody on the ground like they meant it it's either the hospital or the morgue. Nasty kicks.
-
I am loving Sting in this run as champ. He's energetic and fired up! And he seems pretty good at talking in character too. Tell me again why he couldn't cut it as champ?
-
Slater had some trouble getting his words in order. US Tag Titles are leaving, which makes sense given the lack of focus on the tag division.
-
I was blown away by that line too, great stuff from Watts. Match was nothing special and I thought they should have dispensed with the resthold stuff and thrown bombs. I did love seeing a heel get called on his shit and made to stand up for it though.
-
Cactus is really coming into his own as a promo. He has this other-ness to him that works and makes him really stand out.
-
Horner was better than usual here. Not good, but better. Loved Dutch, what a great heel non-wrestler, immediately switching sides once he knew he might have to fight.
-
Eddie really kills it as the heel champ. There is not one thing about him that is actually likeable. Morton does a good job of getting the fans behind him without any work in the ring, which is his strong point.
-
Fans liked it, so it seems like what they should have done. Good enough promo from Lawler, but this whole thing has played itself out.
-
Fun brawl, but I agree that it is in no way special like the early Moondog stuff was.
-
Not to nitpick, but Fargo didn't seem to be calling the match down the middle at all. Either way, the Dogs are no longer champs. Jarrett did fine in his portion of this, he gave Jerry the meat of the promo and that works just fine for me.

Gotta love a babyface telling kids to stay OUT of school.

Very effective angle to follow up on the big beatdown of Bossman. I am torn on whether I want to see any matches given the comments.
