Taker really looks like a complete badass here. Dragging that casket around had to be exhausting, but he took multiple chairshots and punches in the process. How he managed to register only that first couple of barrages of chairshots and mostly ignore the rest is so great. Jake is great as usual, but he's showing fear by the end. Which is certainly justified by the way Undertaker was just coming at him regardless of what he did.

Kobashi is good at throwing bombs. Almost as good as he is at garnering sympathy. Jumbo tends to play to the strengths of his opponent in these types of matches and that's what we get. It's really good and an example of howto make a young guy with potential look really good in a loss. Problem being it took place in AJPW in 1992 and that year is chick full of that kind of thing.

This was an alright match, but these two were held back by the cage. WWF cage matches (except those involving both Valentine and Santana) are incredibly boring.

I liked that they established Bock as the clear heel early. He's certainly able to grapple with Slater early, but quick to turn to underhanded counters whenever he gets the chance. Slater gets an opportunity to work over an arm after a mistake and takes it, which leads to a nice hammerlock "near-fall". Bock is just as quick to spring on a leg after Slater's mistake, but I really liked the couple of stomps to the head first to daze him long enough to put on the figure four. SEcond fall Bock is back on the leg but Slater turns it around and gets revenge. Top rope pays off for Slater as we even it up. Third fall sees Bock cheat on a roll-up and continue to sell more exhaustion than Slater after the match. I really liked how the first fall was the longest of the match and it wore both guys down enough to make the next falls shorter. It also established themes that we saw developed as the match went on. Slater teasing the piledriver was nice, as was the fact that Slater's head was too hard for Bock. Bock's willingness to run away saving him when the piledriver did hit was a really nice payoff too. I'd agree that this was an excellent wrestling match that kept a strong story going throughout.

I liked the recurring theme of the leg kicks working for Fujiwara. The half-hearted feints with the lead leg really throw Fuke for a loop as the youngster is done in after Fuji throws one fast and hard. Fuke fights on, but it's the beginning of the end at that exact moment. I liked Fuke's spirited rally that led to him getting his only points of the match. And Fujiwara kicking him in the knee again to end it. I will say that when Fujiwara shows up with kick pads his opponent is in trouble.

I tried to single out any one amazing performance above all others and found a small edge going to Arn here. But there was so much really good stuff crammed into these 15 minutes it's hard to really say. I will agree that it needed more time to reach it's potential, but it's not meant to be the main attraction regardless of the sheer amount of talent in the ring for this match.

Heenan's promo was for sure the highlight. I like this as a way to give a good view of the landscape post-Mania.

Polynesian Power is a nice addition to help Snuka out against the Stud Stable & Mulligan. Tiger Jeet Singh is playing the right role so far, especially on TV. Hot Property are getting a goood push and I like it. The Horsemen ending the show with a message was really good. Robinson with the underhanded win is a perfect result. Orndorff again piledrives David at will. The Horsemen seem to implode but Flair is looking nostalgic. Big night for the babyfaces in Fayetteville. Hacksaw and Backlund teaming up has to be the most goofy patriotic duo ever. That 6 man brawl was the highlight of that show for me.

Great TV with Funks vs. Von Erichs set up, Embry again stealing the show and Martel getting his submission win in the main. Love seeing Horner and Jacques retain. Studd and Lawler would have been great. Freebirds as new NWA 6-man champs is a good choice. Now they can barge into other territories with NWA gold to back them up.

Good start of a three-way-dance type match with Steen and Generico teaming up on Oulette to get him out of the way. Things get pretty spotty after that with a legitimately insane 360 springboard dropkick to the floor by Generico. They kind of go back to the story of going after Oulette here and there, but it turns into one of those "Oh my GOD" ECW three-way matches and while what they did was impressive, I didn't love the match as a whole. I felt like you could see Generico's strengths on show throughout with a lot of bumping, selling and bursts of offense. Steen hit some big stuff but I'm not convinced he was great at this point in his career. You can see he has a lot of good offense, but that's not enough. Oulette has the easiest job here and does well enough. He's just killing these guys with everything and no-selling a lot of their stuff. I thought the double back suplex spot should have been avoided due to how shitty it was always going to look. Overall, fun match that tries to add a little psychology to the highspot 3-way-dance setup. And as a complete turnaround from the style of that match, MattD gave me this. I liked this a good bit more for the simplicity and strong story they told. Review is here. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/36144-nick-bockwinkel-vs-dick-slater-houston-41682/

Incredible Mania! Andre/Hansen and Savage/Windham would have stolen the show for me. The Battle Royal was well one too, advancing storylines along the way. Bundy is no longer with Heenan?

Floyd and Paul E. fighting over who is the top dog is fun. Poisson is really on a roll of late. Good to see King Tonga getting his mojo back. Huge upset for Benoit. Borne as the new champ is awesome and I am looking forward to where that goes!

I'll echo the praise for the MSG show. Huge matches and there is no way the crowd went home unhappy.

I marked out a little bit for Dutch threatening to write a letter. Both for how awesome it was and for the Memphis angle in '91 where some egg-suckin' dog wrote him a nasty letter. Caudle and Dutch do make an incredible pairing. That and how well this brawl was pulled off by 5 of the participants(looking at you, Vladmir) have me looking forward to lots more SMW. Even if Tommy Rogers isn't around , Bobby Fulton is still throwing sweet punches, so I am on board with the Fantastics.

Hey, I am of the opinion that PR heels are very often some of the best I've seen due to their willingness to make complete asses of themselves when called upon to do so. And to have little to no redeeming qualities beyond that. And if you're going to borrow, borrow from the best. I'd say Arn and the Funker would fall under that category as well.

Lawler with an atypical promo for him, but I liked it nonetheless. Ridiculous amount of dog references or no. I liked the big hype for JYD, even if I think BBD may be more mobile than he is at this point.

Great segment with Jeff unleashing a hardware store into the ring and Richard Lee playing the heel to the hilt. Moondogs destroying everything in sight is one of my favorite things about 1992 so far.

I was wondering if Kikuchi was going to make it through the match conscious a few times. That cobra clutch and the doomsday device were absolutely brutal. I'd agree that the hot tag is where things fall apart as Kawada does a couple of pin attempts then gets beat up some more. It's still a really good match with the multiple homicide attempts on Kikuchi, but it's not THE tag of 1992. That's almost exactly 3 months from this day.

Fuller and Armstrong...together?!? Good bit of booking there. The RnRs befriending Jeff is good for everyone involved. Slater joining up with Corny is an incredible alliance, but I hope it doesn't interfere with the matches between the Fantastics and MXE. Along with the RnRs they are all three in my top 5 tag teams of all time.

Warrior and Street would have been a great match to watch for Hellwig's reaction to Street alone. MS-1 is thriving in Lutte, but can he escape the wrath of Satanico?

TY for the catch. Fixed now. Writing at 1 or 2 AM after work is not always the best idea, lol.

For HeadCheese I have an odd (to say the least) but really good lucha trios match. Date is 12/8/91 and it is in the MDA. If laz wants I can double up with him.

Original Airdate 3/28/86 (Originally airing in Spanish on WAPA Channel 4 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This broadcast is translated to English where applicable.) The opening montage featuring highlights of Carlos Colon, Chicky Starr, Invader 1, Invader 2, Invader 3, Abdullah the Butcher, Hercules Ayala, Bam Bam and Dutch Mantell plays. Carlos Colon doing a cartwheel and coming up fists at the ready leads to the WWC logo as the music ends. NWA and Capitol Sports Presenta Los Campeones De La Lucha Libre Con Tus Luchadores Favoritos De Fama Mundial Rickin Sanchez and Hugo Savinovich sit smiling at the commentary desk in Coliseo Municipal Pedro Rodriguez Gaya De Catano. Rickin: Welcome to another great edition of World Wrestling Council action fans. We have another treat for you this week in our main event. Hugo: Owen Hart wants some gold!! Rickin: Indeed he does. We will see Gama Singh and the Rock and Roll RPMs in action. Hugo: Gama Singh has another big test coming up in 3 weeks against TNT!! Rickin: Yes and I'm sure that will be what Chicky Starr talks to him about in the Sports Shop. Hugo: I hope he's watching out for TNT and El Profe around evey corner! Rickin: Gama Singh is a smart enough man to not fall for that. Ricky Santana will be joining me at the desk before his match. As will los Super Medicos. Hugo: Santana needs to keep winning. The tournament to crown a Light Heavyweight Champion starts next week! Rickin: Before the end of the show we will have an announcement regarding the first round matchups next week. And Owen Hart will be out to the desk before our main event. Jacques Rougeau, the reigning Canadian International Heavyweight Champion from Lutte, has been traveling around the world defending his belt. Owen Hart requested a chance to win this prestigious Canadian title and the committee seems to have given him this chance. Hugo: Owen has yet to lose!! He deserves to have a chance at a title. Why not one he can display proudly back home in Canada?!? Rickin: That much I understand. We have seen Jacques Rougeau before here in the WWC and it is by no means a foregone conclusion. Hugo: Owen tends to find ways around things like that! Rickin: Which says to me that maybe the committee should have given the match to somebody else. We will see how things turn out. Gama Singh has come out to cheers and a few in the crowd are blowing their horns. Hugo: TNT is a very skilled and dangerous opponent. Gama Singh has gone right at him from the start with no hesitation! Rickin: Yes, he has earned the fans respect and admiration. Hugo: We'll see how long he can keep it. The fans here in Puerto Rico can be very fickle! Rickin: Only if unnecessary shortcuts are taken or a wrestler keeps attacking a man when he's down. Hugo: These fans didn't seem to mind when Hercules Ayala broke Al Madril's leg! Rickin: After what Madril did to Victor Jovica I would imagine it made most fans happy. Hugo: Yeah, Al may have gone a little too far there... Rickin: We're ready to go as referee Tomas Marin has called for the bell. Frank Conners vs. Gama Singh Singh controls with a mixture of punches, chops and technical wrestling. Conners tries a suplex but Singh floats over and hits a DDT as Conners turns around. The camel clutch is applied by Singh for the submission. Gama Singh by submission in 4:29 with a camel clutch Rickin: Singh is looking sharp as we come closer to April 19th. Hugo: He better be sharp in Roberto Clemente Stadium! TNT won't be forgiving of any mistakes! Rickin: Very true Hugo. We'll be right back with Ricky Santana at the desk and in the ring. Don't go anywhere fans. (Commercial Break) 0 - 8:30 Rickin: Weclome back fans. I am joined by a young man who has been making tremendous strides in the last few months. Ricky Santana, you have these fans behind you going into the WWC Light Heavyweight Title tournament. Santana: I've been seeing that more and more Rickin. It's a great feeling to know that the fans are going to support you. They can really lift you up when you're in a tough spot. Rickin: It seems like the only hurdle you have struggled to clear is Owen Hart. Santana: Owen Hart may be a great technical wrestler. He has yet to show me or anyone else any kind of guts. When the chips are down the man will resort to underhanded tactics to win a match. Rickin: Something that has been your Achilles heel. Santana: I've been talking to a few people about that. Invader 1, Carlitos Colon, they will use illegal tactics against opponents who like to cheat. I didn't always get why, but I do now! When a man takes advantage of your willingness to follow the rules one too many times you don't have choices anymore. You fight the man at his level. Owen Hart is going to find out that he's not the only one willing to play dirty next time we see one another in the ring! Rickin: Owen Hart has a match tonight with the champion from Lutte, Jacques Rougeau. Your thoughts? Santana: I wish I had been willing to fight Owen Hart on his level a little sooner, maybe we'd see somebody more deserving in that match. As it is, I'll be keeping an eye on Owen to make sure he doesn't try anything on Rougeau. Nobody deserves to have their title stolen from them! Rickin: There goes Ricky Santana, the crowd is making it difficult for him to get back to the asile. Hugo: Santana doesn't seem to mind! Rickin: He genuinely enjoys interacting with the fans and who can blame him? Hugo: They do love him! Will firing back at Owen Hart in kind change that do you think? Rickin: Did the fans turn on Hercules Ayala when he broke Al Madril's leg? Hugo: If anything they started cheering him a little more! Rickin: The fans see the difference between fighting fire with fire and fighting dirty to take shortcuts. Ricky Santana isn't a man who takes shortcuts. Hugo: No he isn't! I can respect that, even if I think it is a little short-sighted! Rickin: (chuckling) Referee Ricky Vargas is calling for the bell. It looks like we're ready to go. Mr. X vs. Ricky Santana Santana with his technical babyface offense is in control. X takes control after a missed dropkick only to run into another dropkick soon after. Santana slams X and climbs up top. The flying crossbody connects as X staggers to his feet and Santana gets the 1, 2, 3. Ricky Santana by pinfall in 4:22 with a top rope crossbody Rickin: Santana looking strong heading into the tournament. Hugo: He has looked strong in his two losses to Owen Hart, but lost due to unfortunate circumstances! Rickin: I'd say both of those "unfortunate circumstances" were caused by Owen Hart. Hugo: There is no proof the first time was on purpose! Rickin: I suppose not. Up next Gama Singh will be in the Sports Shop and the Rock and Roll RPMs will be in tag team action. (Commercial Break) 8:30 - 16:00 Hugo: Weeeeeee're baaaack!! And it's time to visit my friend Chicky in his Sports Shop!! The intro for the Sports Shop plays and we cut to Victor with a microphone on the set. Victor (wooden): It is my pleasure to introduce the hottest wrestler and manager in the World Wrestling Council. Ladies and gentlemen, here is the most exciting, most charismatic, best dressed man in Puerto Rico, Chicky Starr. Chicky walks on the set in his athletic gear, golf club in hand. He picks up the microphone on his chair and sits down. Chicky: Welcome to the most watched wrestling program in Puerto Rico, Chicky Starr's Sports Shop! Ladies and gentlemen, you have once again reached the high point of the show. Last week my enforcer, Abdullah Tamba, showed all of Puerto Rico why he is my enforcer. He destroyed Frank Conners in less than 3 minutes. Chicky pauses for effect. Chicky: It has been talked about in recent weeks that there is a war between myself and Carlitos Colon. Know that you will be seeing much more of Abdullah Tamba in the coming weeks. Abdullah Tamba is one of two men in the WWC that have taken Bam Bam off of his feet, the other being Abdullah the Butcher. Something Invader 1 and Colon have yet to do. I may not have Abdullah the Butcher week in and week out, but I have the next best thing! Chicky nods off-screen after pausing. Chicky: (English) My guest this week is a man I once called a good friend, Gama Singh. Singh cautiously enters the set, looking around carefully. Chicky: Beleive me, Gama, I have no ambushes set for you....(grins)...of course you don't believe me. Do what you need to do. Singh completes his search and sits down warily. Chicky: It's been a long time since we sat down. Singh: We don't agree on as much anymore, but I have no quarrel with you. Chicky: So what was it that made you change your ways? I remember a time when you were teaching me dirty tricks in the ring that I hadn't seen. Singh: Winning matches is all well and good. At some point you realize that it's important to have the respect of the fans while you win. And that it's not that hard to do both. Chicky: (practically spitting out the first sentence) The respect of the fans. These are people who respect a man who cheats as much as anyone, Carlitos Colon. They look at a backstabbing fraud like Invader 1 and see something they like. I want them to hate me! It's the only way I can respect myself! Singh: I remember you always hated Invader 1, I have talked to hi- Chicky: Don't! You and I may not be close friends anymore, but I have no interest in making enemies I don't have to. Singh: I can respect that. I have my hands full with El Profe and TNT myself. Chicky: Profe doesn't have much respect for you. Singh: He will. You didn't seem to try and change that much when he was on your show. Chicky: El Profe is a friend of mine and has been for some time. He hasn't changed who he is to pander to those idiots in the stands. Singh: Like you said earlier, I don't need to make more enemies. It was good to chat Chicky, one day we'll be able to sit down and agree on a little more. Chicky: In truth I think El Profe does underestimate you and I hope it doesn't backfire on him. You're not a man I want to see on the opposing side and I do respect what you can do in the ring. Singh: And I will say that despite what you show the fans, you are more than capable in the ring and I hope that one day you give the fans the reasons they need to respect you. Both men stand up and shake hands. Singh leaves the set. Chicky: (Spanish) That will do it for another Sports Shop. I will be back next week, so don't despair. My friend Ric Flair will take us home. Cue Ric Flair's sign-off as Chicky leaves the set. Cut to the arena. Rickin: Another very interesting Sports Shop. Hugo: Yes! Chicky and Gama Singh were once allies! Rickin: Chicky Starr has shown us a few different sides of himself these last few weeks. While I am not a fan of his methods, the man has a certain sense of...honor? to him. Hugo: He's a friend of mine and I'm not sure I'd go that far! Rickin: I know, I simply could not find a better word to express it. There are certain lengths he won't go to when it comes to his friends. Hugo: Not if he thinks there is a chance it would hurt him anyway.... Rickin: There is that. The Rock and Roll RPMs are on their way to the ring. Hugo: The fans have gotten behind them very quickly! Despite their loss in the in the tournament. Rickin: It might have something to do with their lack of bitterness or complaint. They just went on trying to move up in the tag division. Hugo: I'd say that too. The fans don't like when a man or a team makes excuses. Rickin: Something you found out the hard way as a wrestler and manager. Hugo: Yes. But they were valid excuses! Rickin: (chuckles) You seem to have changed in that respect. Davis and Lane have gotten the support of the fans in much the same way as Ricky Santana has. They have faced adversity head on and let their failures become lessons as well as fuel for the fire. Hugo: Making friends with Castillo & Perez can't hurt! Rickin: I'd say the friendship is a direct result of that same attitude that Castillo and Perez possess. Ring announcer Eliud Gonzalez has finished the introductions, here we go. Mr. Y & Z vs. the Rock 'n' Roll RPMs The RPMs control with smooth teamwork. Z with a big slam on Lane, but he misses the elbow drop and Lane tags in Davis. The RPMs hit a combination side slam/neckbreaker for the 3 count. The Rock 'n' Roll RPMs by pinfall in 5:15 with a side slam/neckbreaker combo Rickin: The RPMs continue building momentum and standing in the tag team division. Hugo: They have to be considered the next challengers for the titles after los Invaders at this point! Rickin: There is one team that may dispute that, los Super Medicos. I will be talking to them after these messages, and we will see them in action. We'll be right back. (Commercial Break) 16:00 - 25:30 Rickin: Welcome back, fans. I'm joined by los Super Medicos. You two seem like you have found some small ways to improve in the last few weeks. Medico 1: Yes, and we have been trying to make that stick as we tour Puerto Rico. Rickin: It has been showing. My understanding is that you asked for this time to make a challenge. Medico 1: I did. We may not be able or even ready to pay the Starrs back for what they did to us. But they had help. Los Mercenarios helped the Starrs beat us in the tournament. They also had a hand in Super Medico 2's forced retirement. So we want to give them a little payback on the 19th of April! Rickin: You are sure the two of you are ready for that? Medico: Most teams it is necessary to have good teamwork against. I won't say it would hurt us against los Mercenarios, but they tend to...well, fight. Not much of a coordinated attack, just very aggressive and most of their matches see them outside the ring as often as in it. Rickin: I suppose teamwork goes out the window when all four men are outside the ring. Medico 1: Not entirely, but it's much less of a factor. I don't mind a good brawl now and again, and those two have some payback coming from us that won't feel as good inside the ring! Los Super Medicos head towards the ring as the crowd cheers them on. Rickin: What's your take on that Hugo? Hugo: Well, he's not wrong. Once things break down and everybody is fighting, even in the ring, it can be hard to keep any kind of teamwork going. And if you have revenge on your mind it tends to get in the way of that kind of thinking too. Rickin: Do you think Chicky Starr will have any kind of plan in place to keep los Mercenarios more organized? Hugo: He might try, but I'm not sure if they care to wrestle that way. They are a step below los Pastores when it comes to how wild they wrestle, but they won't be looking like a smooth tag team anytime soon. Rickin: So this is a good time for los Super Medicos to look for their vengeance. Hugo: Yes! If it's going to be a brawl they are pretty evenly matched. Both Super Medico 1 and 3 are more than capable brawlers. It's just up to Chicky to sign the match! Rickin: And the WWC to approve it knowing what los Super Medicos are looking for going in. It looks like the wrestlers are ready and there is the bell. Los Assassins (1 & 3) vs. Los Super Medicos Medicos control with a mixture of brawling and technical wrestling. They still stay in too long mostly, but have flashes of good quick tags. Assassin 1 with a few clubbing forearms, but ducks down too quickly and takes a kick from Medico 1. Medico 3 is tagged in and 1 slams Assassin down. He then slams Medico 3 into a senton on top of him for the 3 count. Los Super Medicos by pinfall in 5:34 with an assisted senton Rickin: Los Super Medicos with another win to stay on track. Hugo: If they do get that match with los Mercenarios, they will need to keep winning! Rickin: Engaging in a brawl with los Mercenarios seems like an odd choice to make. We'll be right back with Owen Hart at the desk before our main event. Hugo: Owen Hart wrestling for Canadian gold!!! Rickin: Don't go anywhere fans. (Commercial Break) 25:30-33:30 Rickin: (English) We're back and I am joined by Owen Hart. It must be an honor for you to compete for a belt from your home country. Owen: It would be more of an honor to compete for that belt there, to show my family what I can do. But yes, it is an honor. Rickin: Have you had any meetings with Jacques Rougeau before? He also comes from a very famous wrestling family. Owen: I have wrestled him in tag matches. The Rougeaus are a wrestling family, yes. We're both second generation wrestlers and I can respect that. But the man has something I want. that's what this is about. Rickin: If I can give some advice. Do this the right way. You will make your family far more proud by bringing home a belt with a legal win. Owen: Is that right? Don't pretend to know what MY family wants......Sorry, there is a lot riding on tonight. I know you mean well, but all of the free advice I get wears on me. Not sure I'm thrilled with Ricky Santana feeling the need to come out here and watch me either. I will tell you this. I'm more than good enough to beat Jacques Rougeau in a wrestling match. You watch, Rickin, he's going to have to resort to fighting to have a chance to keep that belt. Rickin: Most men will fight to hang on to their title belts, yes. Owen: You miss my point. I am a wrestler. I use technical wrestling skill to win matches. People like Ricky Santana and Jacques Rougeau like to punch and kick their way through matches because they can't outwrestle a man. It's sickening. Then people like you and these fans start telling them they are some kind of hero and they beleive it. It happens everywhere. And I'm sick of it!! So tonight I am going to take Jacques Rougeau's belt and next month I am going to win that tournament for the Light Heavyweight title using my wrestling skills!! Hart storms off. Rickin: (Spanish) Owen Hart is certainly fired up tonight. Hugo: Most young men are when they have a chance at gold! Rickin: This is very true. Owen heading to the ring first can't be good for Rougeau. Hugo: You heard Owen, he's going to win the match with his wrestling skill! Rickin: You believe that? Hugo: I believe Owen Hart will do anything he can to win this match, so not really, no. Rickin: We agree then. Owen Hart is in the ring now and head referee Victor Quinonez is giving him a little talking to. Hugo: He's as worried as you are! Rickin: The crowd is cheering as they see Jacques Rougeau. Hugo: He has had some success here in the past. And he's going up against a man the crowd doesn't like! Rickin: That tends to make the fans warm up to a wrestler, yes. It doesn't hurt that Ricky Santana is walking to the ring with him. How would you rate Jacques as a wrestler? Hugo: Jacques is a very good wrestler, he can do everything well. Just watch his temper! Rickin: Something you found out the hard way? Hugo: No, not me. I think you have met him before... Rickin: I know who. Jacques Rougeau is very famous in Quebec, the home of the Lutte promotion. He is also a second generation wrestler. Hugo: His father and his uncle were both very big stars in their time as well! Rickin: For all his talk, Owen Hart just attacked as Rougeau was entering the ring. Referee Victor Quinonez is calling for the bell. Owen Hart vs. Jacques Rougeau © for the NWA Canadian International Heavyweight Championship Owen stomps away, then slaps on a headlock. Jacques tries to escape but Owen uses the hair a few times to keep him there. Quinonez forces a break after seeing Owen use the hair and Owen punctuates the hold with a punch before releasing. Owen is given a talking to by the referee and this gives Jacques enough time to recover in the corner. Owen can see the anger written on Jacques' face and extends a hand in apology. Jacques takes the hand and pulls Owen in for a kick to the gut and the match becomes a brawl that Jacques is in control of. Things settle down and it goes back and forth, Owen controlling the more technical exchanges while Jacques gets the better of the striking. Owen kicks out of a few pinning attempts by Jacques before rolling him up with his feet on the ropes. Quinonez reaches 2 before Santana's yelling from ringside alerts him to the cheating. Owen is angry with Santana and nearly gets rolled up himself (but cleanly) by Jacques. Owen crashes and burns on the missile dropkick, which gives Jacques the opening he needs for the Quebec crab and the submission. Jacques Rougeau by submission in 14: 41 with the Quebec crab Rickin: Jacques Rougeau has won the match and retained his championship. I'm sure Owen Hart will tell us all about the reasons he lost the match when we talk to him next time. Hugo: He had it won if Santana hadn't been there! Rickin: Illegally, yes. I promised we'd get you the matches for the Light Heavyweight tournament before we went off the air and it is that time. Next week we will see Ricky Santana against Chris Candido in a battle of up-and-coming stars. Candido is a rookie and great things are expected of him. We will also see one half of the Rock and Roll RPMs, Tommy Lane, take on the Japanese veteran Kuniaki Kobayashi. The winners of those two matches will face off on April 18th in the first semi-final. Hugo: Two very interesting matches! Kobayashi will be a big test for Lane! Rickin: And two weeks from tonight on April 11th we will see Joe Savoldi and Huracan Castillo Jr. face off. Combined they have 6 years ring experience, but both are very exciting young wrestlers. Owen Hart will be facing Invader 2, who is on schedule to be healthy enough to compete. Hugo: He better be, Owen will take advantage of any injuries that still linger!! Rickin: I imagine most would in this situation, but Hart will be aggressively taking advantage of any injuries. That's all for us this week, be sure to join us next week as we kick off the tournament to crown an inaugural WWC Light Heavyweight Champion.

Eddie got a lot out of BBJ who, as mentioned, could barely run the ropes. I guess you work with what you've got on a budget. Count me in as surprised Eddie didn't throw fire or hit Pritchard in the balls as well. How is this going to effect the Eddie/Horowitz relationship?

The lariats from los Cowboys were really good. Very good popcorn match with guys flying around the ring for most of it. Casas is so smooth working matches like this.
