    I liked Pete's callback to Hansen vs Funk by the lake. I also enjoyed the Hell out of this as a bizarre spectacle. It makes zero sense that it happened, but it was entertaining in a Puerto Rico kind of way.

    Really great action from the Omni. Sting looks like a world beater, taking on Rude's cronies as well. The post-match attack on the knee is well done and everyone comes out looking good. Was there some kind of guest booker for this feud?

    One of the better bits of booking from the WWF this year. Tunney's announcement had some kind of response from Hogan we didn't see, which I'm completely okay with.

    I liked Embry showing his true colors despite all of the new look/girlfriend stuff. Nice DDT on the studio floor too.

    Big win for Douglas and a good showcase for a lot of young talent. Benoit gets a main event, which has to be a pretty big deal.

    Interesting character change for Embry. We'll see how long it lasts.

    Tenryu as the survivor of the first half of the Rumble was great. Nice to see Jumbo have something go his way for a change. Tag match was a fun opener and Hara vs Simmons would be a minor dream match.

    Good studio match and I enjoyed Kamala's performance for the little details. Lawler did really well in this too. Count me in with everyone above on the officiating. If you're going to let Kamala shove you around all match and cheat, don't freak out on Lawler for the fireball.

    Welcome back JvK.

    I'm starting to see why the GME project isn't on the board. And I don't necessarily disagree with Jetlag's post either.

    With the performances Missy gives I find myself asking i she were a male would she have had a job in any kind of performing business? I suppose you could apply that to a lot of women in wrestling. I wish whoever picked the music for this had been at Pearl Harbor. Good highlights, you think we'll see half of them in WCW?

    It surprises me that Han throws better kicks than Maeda throughout. His palm strikes are far better when he is in close and they connect , might be him taking it easy on Maeda though. It strikes me that Volk may have given the striking advantage to people later in his career to create more drama. Han is winded very quickly and only gets worse as the match goes on. Maeda clearly not fighting at all while Han was catching his breath was just plain not good. I love Volk but both of these guys have better matches in them.

    First three words out of my mouth when I saw this match were, "Ahhh fuck you!" Should let you know my mindset going in. MVCs do better in giving to Misawa/Kawada here. It isn't top shelf, but it is definite improvement. They even remember to stop with the boring shit and make the crowd react when it starts to get quiet. Finish is a really good twist on the story all year with...the same ending. Fuck you after all.

    I like the way feuds are developed indirectly for this show. Still a lot of marquee matchups, but most of the actual feuds are something that get interjected into the match.

    Can't decide if I like the Nashville or Atlanta show more. I'll just have to think both are great.

    I wasn't a fan of the excessive ref involvement myself. But at least he was on both guys when rules were broken. Third fall was incredible but the first two keep this match below the 1990 hair match.

    I will agree on the MVC being an incredibly boring tag team. The crowd dies every time they are in control of a match. Hansen gets more out of them than anyone else and I did enjoy Doc's FIP. Good finishing run but it doesn't salvage my opinion of the MVC. I very much doubt that Hansen was coming to WCW at this point. He was too over in Japan and it would have taken a ton of money to get him to leave.

    Gilbert and Shultz look like they are going to steal the show, but Embry comes back with tomess with the Funks in probably the dumbest move of the year. Great card.

    The match itself shows how limited Taker was at this point and how good Hogan is at playing FIP and putting over an opponent's offense. Taker does really well at playing the zombie big man and wobbling but not falling. Finish is overbooked and silly but it's a Hogan match so color me surprised.

    The match itself was absolutely great. Everything was fought for and had meaning. Jake's promos topped it and I'm not sure there are 5 better heel promos out there than the post-match. The post-match also topped the match with the notable exception of bulllshit official interference causing Savage to take the DDT but doing nothing about the aftermath. I hate that so much, but it doesn't ruin easily one of the top 10 WWF/E angles ever. Edit: Sean Mooney telling Macho he was "just as angry as you are" should have earned him a KO.

    So much oddness about this match. Flair is overly generous, but Shawn's offense rarely ever looked this good. I normally don't care for Hayes on commentary but really liked him here. The finish was goofy as Hell with Janetty tossing a KOed Shawn back into the ring with no attempt at trying to wake him up. There is good work here in the technical sense. Shawn looks better than Hogan did against Flair. But none of it makes sense.

    I'm pretty sure I'm going to be in the arena after that TV as well. Every one of those matches mentioned is a must see.
  23. dawho5
    Really big show in Norfolk. The last 5 matches were freaking great and could have mained a TV.
  24. dawho5
    Those last three matches on SNME would have all brought the house down. Windham having knee problems doesn't look good for Tito. Teddy vs. Hogan will be huge. Fuji walking away from the Mercs will have consequences.

    The Rockers miscommunication has seemingly replaced the once-flawless teamwork. Vince doesn't seem all that interested, but I did like the way Heenan handled it. I think these two need to go to the barber and talk it out.
