    Terrible host, great interview. I know they held on to Brutus to keep Hogan happy, but there had to be better uses for him.

    Big show for Satanico. Kamala & Link's win had to be the highlight for me.

    I'll agree that the way you use Tanaka is great. I always wondered why he never got a better push. Your tag division may not be traditional big name tag teams, but it is sneaky kinds of great anyways. I'd like to know whether it wasLarry Z or Bock in frustration with Larry Z that hit the ref for his team. Again, I like the way you are building up Bam Bam. Can't wait to see who his first serious challenge is.

    There was a lot of good stuff on that TV, but Spivey winning the title kind of dominates that show. Snakepit/Bullies, Guerreros/Bees, Adams/Roberts, Martel/Zbysko, Steamboat/Burke...what a huge stacked card! Zbysko winning the Canadian Title trumps everything else for me. Yeah, Sawyer/Cactus in a dog collar match is definitely a dream match. Then you get the TDM on top of it! Great series of shows! Good to see Bigelow doing well in a learning environment, thanks for doing that.

    The six-man match and the tag championship matches look like a lot of fun. That 4 corners match is my match of the night though.

    The implosion of los Infernales continues to be a highlight for me. Satanico being shaved bald will not go unpunished. Charland seems to have bitten off more than he can chew.

    I'd give both the opener and the main a tie for match of the night. Adonis continuing to be a semi-paper-tiger champion is good stuff as well.

    SNME delivers on all 4 matches and keeps everything moving forward. Heenan and Hart make out like bandits in the process. The Refrigerator! Nice twist at the end. Great finish to Prime Time. Sting gets some payback for a loss in a memorable way. And count me in for Hansen vs. Andre!!

    This is for the Secret Santo project from Jetlag. Link is below. Togo ambushes Goto during entrances and it seems like these guys either have a feud or Goto is just pissed off by this. Early on it is established that KDX have to use teamwork to overcome the fact they are severely outgunned by Goto, on even terms with Aoyagi and a little above Azteca. This point is driven home by Goto no-selling everything thrown at him for the first 10+minutes of the match. And destroying two members of KDX, but mostly Dick Togo. He is entertaining in the way he does it though. He makes Togo a chair necklace to bust him open, completely destroys a fan's umbrella and borrows the ref's belt. Togo is great at being the face/heel (can't tell which in peril). Aoyagi and Azeca get in on things, but this match is all about Goto wanting to murder Togo. Goto takes things too far for Aoyagi when he grabs and breaks a beer bottle to stab Togo with. KDX pounce on this opportunity to put Azteca away with a Togo top rope senton. Goto no-sells most of Aoyagi's post-match offense as well. Fun match with maybe a little too much no-selling by Goto. Seems like he'd be far enough above KDX that it makes sense and I'm not sure I want Goto to be putting a lot of time into selling anyway. KDX and Aoyagi play their roles well. Azteca seems like he's around to do some lucha spots and eat the fall.

    Good enough match between two guys far better than good enough. I didn't love it, I didn't hate it.

    I love that little bit they do with the speech for the show. Probably my favorite MST3K moment ever, with the railings and balustrades skit on Space Mutiny coming in a close second.

    WWC would like Abby on the 19th of April.

    This one is for Jetlag. Edit: Jetlag gave me: I thought it was a fun tag with mismatched teams and a good if hammered-in-too-far story all the way through. Review is below. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/41216-tarzan-gotomasashi-aoyagiazteca-vs-kai-en-tai-indy-world-72298/

    Flair knows a guy. I wonder who that could be?
  15. dawho5
    I'll second the Tonga/Duggan matchup being very intriguing. Martel not getting his win is less than ideal, but leaves things open. That 6-man would have been some kind of brawl.
  16. dawho5
    Flair winning the title from Magnum had to make more than a few people unhappy. Great card that wraps up a lot of the stuff that has been going on in Lutte and MACW for a while. Robinson vs St.Clair or Wahoo vs Race would be my matches of the night. Loved the finish to Hansen vs Inoki.
  17. dawho5
    Great job setting up Magnum/Flair at Battle of the Belts. The Nightmares holding on to their spots with Taylor attacking Pritchard is a really good way to kill 2 birds with one stone. The Fullers vs. Superfly sounds pretty fun.

    In response to joeg's match here is my review. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/41172-kenta-kobashi-vs-johnny-ace-6395-ajpw/ I liked it a lot and the layout was really strong. Played to both guys strengths. I remember Ace being on fire in 97 and wonder if these two didn't have a upper tier AJPW match in them given the right circumstances that year. Hey, PR isn't for everyone. I'm glad you liked some of it anyway.

    JIP with a struggle over an apron suplex. Ace hits a rope-assisted Ace crusher while dropping off the apron that looks brutal. Kobashi can't seem to make anything stick for a while afterwards despite the usual 150% effort, and this sequence seems really well done. Ace gets caught during this part while going up for a moonsault. Kobashi is able to interrupt but Ace kicks him a few times and goes back on offense. Ace hits the moonsault but doesn't get 3. Kobashi takes over and hits a series of finisher level moves that he can't follow up on fast enough to make them a finish. It's a good sequence but Kobashi working from underneath is way better than Ace working from underneath. I liked Ace interrupting Kobashi's first moonsault attempt and using the taped , injured leg to drive it home a lot. It's down to one minute left and Kobashi is still on top, but can't keep much moving forward without having to sell the leg. Kobashi hits the moonsault with a little bit to spare, does he get the 3 or is it a draw? Really good way to finish a match with these two. I have some quibbles with Ace's corner lariats and knees. But they told a really good story for what there was (9 minutes). Wouldn't mind seeing the full match at all.

    I liked this promo a lot. They get over the idea that the DA is going to run all of the babyfaces out after hurting Sting. Paul not wanting to stop until the WCW is dead sounds really cool. But who is going to sign the paychecks then?
  21. dawho5
    I'd say Heyman's freakout over the Sting deal was an act within the promo. Heyman's intention was to draw Sting out, so he is looking for ways to piss Bagwell off and get him to throw a punch. The condescension is really good from Paul here, but when that doesn't work he changes gears.
  22. dawho5
    Fuller decking Lee was a markout moment for sure. The tie choking was awesome and that promo was such a great fired-up babyface promo. When Fuller leaves I'll be sad he's not cutting these kinds of promos on the Moondogs, but as long as he has promos that make tape and are on my TV I'll be okay.
  23. dawho5
    LOL at the description for the Hansen tag. Damn him for all of those unnecessary flips and twists. Hash vs the Bullies would have been fun. I have this feeling that Baba vs Fujiwara would have been an absolutely fascinating match.
  24. dawho5
    Loved this promo from Piper. Seems like some of it at least is personal, which is probably why the promo comes across as impassioned as it does.
  25. dawho5
    Garvin is surprisingly not shitty as a babyface. I mean, he's lacking polish and not overly good, but the tools are there which is way, way more than I'd say for him as a heel. That being said, did this need to be 2/3 falls? With a guy as limited as Garvin that's just not needed. The figure fours did go on too long and I wish it had been just a 9 minute single fall.
