    Amazing sunglasses! And am I the only one who doesn't believe it for a second when Holly claims to have been in Hollywood with that accent?

    Not a bad singer at all. Only thing missing was his own personality instead of just trying to ape Garth Brooks. Shocking that he would have trouble with that I know. Sings kind of like he wrestles, perfectly competent but without any kind of charisma or spark. Also, apparently Tim Horner has his own recording studio.

    Piper and Flair is a really great pairing. Wish we had gotten more of that. Not a bad match and the crowd ate it up, so kudos.

    Valiant is so over with the Memphis crowd it is a wonder he ever left. It's hard to imagine anyone who doesn't see and hear the Lawler resemblance in Brian Christopher.

    Barcelona, Spain! They really are global!

    I'd say the officials in AJW are about the same level of ineffectual as the ones in the Toryumon and MPro I have seen. I also had an objection to Aja letting herself get suplexed right at the opening bell. Gotta assert yourself and be the monster heel early for sure. Toyota is indeed athletic on a supreme level. That being said, I hate her 5-7 dropkick rush. Hate it. Yamada had some great facial expressions when she was being pasted with a chair. Aja was in full beast mode closing out the second fall. That finish looked brutal and I am really glad Aja gave Toyota and Yamada time to celebrate a bit before going nuts.

    Honestly, I didn't think anything really got accomplished here. Just a bunch of guys trying to corner Vince and mostly not being successful.

    I noticed that suplex on Kakihara that was not counted as well. I thought it would have been smarter work on Silver's part to make Kakihara come in on him and pester him with kicks instead of charging into the corner after him. Kakihara was coming up with more and better counters on the ground and struggled when pressured on his feet. Then again, Kakihara showed a lot more on his feet in the last 10 minutes. Good match, slow at points as mentioned.

    Roddy threatening the attack from behind really sold this. Sad to see Roddy "retiring", but it seems like he's willing to put Bret over so he should make it look good in the match.

    The Flair robe-suit combination was superb. I enjoyed the interview with Vince for all the reasons above. At the same time, I was thinking that Vince very likely was internally agreeing with Flair 100% of the time, so kudos on the acting!

    I didn't really enjoy Gene twisting the knife on that deal. Why would he go through the whole quote when he could just say something like "what is your reaction to Ric Flair's comments?" Savage honestly should have decked him for going through the whole thing. Savage was pretty great reacting, just seemed excessive on Gene's part.

    This seemed like a different take on the earlier promo. Better by a little, but nothing too new here. Jake is incredible as always, just had watched the other one a few minutes prior. Must have been for different parts of the country than the other.

    Embry was great here as a sleazy bastard, but Dave really stole this segment for me. You tell him Dave!

    Horner seemed kind of over. I'd agree that Rip should have been much more aggressive. I'll also agreee that Dutch is a fantastic color commentator. This is a great announce team for sure. Once the match got past all the basic mat wrestling they almost looked like they were doing Southern cruiserweight wrasslin'. Which is actually kind of cool.

    What is DWB doing here when Kim is being sexually assaulted in Memphis?? Anyway, DWB and Wright is a great combo despite both having no need of the other's charisma and ability to talk.

    Jake claiming to be more evil than Undertaker was interesting. Was 'Taker a supernatural being yet by this point? Or just a big guy with that gimmick?

    I didn't think Vader was that much of a heel right away. He offers Chono a handshake, which Chono refuses, and then decides against hitting Chono on a break when Chono had just hit him on the break. Thought it was kind of strange. I honestly thought the match would go a little shorter than it did when Chono hit an early backdrop. Bam Bam and Hash had a really good, fast-paced exchange early. I thought Hash looked great fighting back against Vader. It looked like Chono had to be manhandled out of trying for more offense a few times. Also looked like Vader and Bam Bam gave Hash a little more offense due to him being bigger. I did think the Vader dragon sleeper was an attempt by Vader to give Chono something after he had been manhandled earlier that Chono missed. Vader playing FIP in the late stretch of the match was better than you would expect it to be. Good enough match, too long and at times didn't seem like the tag team aspect was used much.

    I was wondering why DDP had to talk about MVC. Either way, they are coming..or not..or...wait, what? These magazine shows kind of drive me nuts a little when it's Bischoff. Gene can carry them and make them seem semi-interesting. Bischoff not so much.

    After reading the excellent book about Pillman by one of our own, I would say Pillman at this point hated steroids and the guys who used them. Also, he was a super over babyface, so it works.

    Arn is the perfect guy for this. Not only due to a physique that doesn't scream steroids, or the fact that he was a straight shooter. Also, as mentioned above, Arn could make the phone book interesting.

    I thought that was Jesse too! Really well done, but stuff like this is always super telegraphed. No way a heel like Rude isn't going to mess with Sting. So once he has the glasses you know how it goes down. Still, good way to set up a future match.

    I had hoped for a better end for this. We knew Rogers wasn't going to be able to finish or Bob Caudle was going to catch him resting or whatever, but this seemed like a bad way to do it. I would agree that a confrontation of sorts would have worked better and poor Rip made his leg muscles that sore for a nothing reaction.

    I was also relieved that Rip was making sure Horner couldn't cut his promo. This SMW taping has been really good for angles.
  24. dawho5
    Those crowd shots were about perfect. An hour of squats would be impressive.

    Corny killed me with the Deliverance line. Loving him too, SMW has been a gold mine so far.
