  1. I liked this as a tag match. Very good FIP from Jeff with Fuller milking every bit of emotion he could out of it on the apron. And the finish was all kinds of great for the fans. Loved seeing a babyface win not marred by a heel beatdown post-match as well.
  2. This guy gives terrible tax advice. The WWF should hire somebody else.
  3. Second time Bearer has gotten buried on his own segment. At least Hogan put some effort into making it look like there was a threat first.
  4. Loved this. After all of the serious stuff before it, we get a match filled with comedy and athletic spots. That dive train was absolutely tremendous and the plancha by Super Porky was awesome. I'm really not a lucha comedy guy, but Super Porky always puts a smile on my face.
  5. I agree that Warrior-speak sounds slightly more ridiculous this way. but seriously, this is the most I've liked a Warrior interview/promo pretty much ever. This is a guy I can get behind, somebody who clearly has self-doubts but refuses to allow them to beat him. That's something us "normals" can get behind. Stuff like this could have been a huge boon to Warrior as a champ.
  6. So much good stuff going on. Roadies vs. Russians, Watts attempting to get Akbar in the ring alone, Dusty gets a Koloff in a cage, JYD and Wrestling II, that is gonna be one HUGE card.
  7. Weird spot early on where Choshu is in trouble and Fujinami is smiling on the apron. Choshu in short bursts is always the best Choshu. Fun heavyweight match but could have used a better overarcing story than young guys vs. old guys.
  8. Great match with Honaga doing enough heelish stuff to get the win. But despite all the dirty tactics and opportunistic attacks, the crowd still loves him. I thought his turnbuckle climbing was possibly the slowest I've ever seen a junior climb though. The ballshot actually had me buying into the false finish, so I'll say it worked like a charm. I also think that Honaga should learn to rip the mask a little bit at a time. That way he can go back to it instead of just a one-and-done deal because the thing wouldn't stay on Liger's head after another rip.
  9. Fun spotfest. Some of them spots never got ripped off by anybody for constant use, which is actually a shame. Some miscommunication between the two in spots.
  10. Honaga did one good thing though. Ran straight into that lariat from Benoit. That shit looked like it HURT.

  12. Great match with the big vs. fast dynamic. Esther Moreno managed to do enough work for two despite being in the ring with some pretty heavy hitters. Loved her sequences with Aja where she just went ahead at a million miles an hour because that's all she had going in her favor, even when it didn't work out. Puts both of them over a ton if you ask me. One of the few joshi matches I've seen on the yearbooks that I seem to like as much as the rest.
  13. Did not expect this style of match, much more your standard wrestling match. This really doesn't play to Invader 1's strengths, but it doesn't have to as it's more a showcase for Mutoh. It's nice to see how feuds start in Puerto Rico after seeing them end for so long, and a pretty good wrestling match to boot.
  14. Hugo is great here as the babyface. Profe helps a lot by with his dirty tactics and general dickery. Funny how Hugo is actually using more technical wrestling than most of the wrestlers.
  15. This match is where I started to think Hugo was one of the all-time great announcers. He really does a tremendous job. Ayala destroying Colon after the shot with the brass knuckles is gory and probably would have been edited out anywhere else besides Japan. That is so much blood, beating goes way too far before it is stopped, but you have to make the boss look good even in defeat.
  16. The uncomfortable looking face on the kneepad under the claw is certainly amusing.
  17. Ayala's comedy/discomfort stuff early was gold. I love playing up not being comfortable with barbed wire AND stooging at the same time. I also liked Ayala going for the cover after the knucks shot and getting pissed that he couldn't win the match that way. Good way of putting over the mistake in demanding that stip. The pop for Colon's cartwheel was MONSTER even for Puerto Rico. Great finish.
  18. Hennig/Martel is possibly the best babyface tag team EVER in the AWA. No Offense to the Hi-Flyers, Mr. Gagne. Buddy Rose vs. Dynamite is always an awesome matchup. Brad Armstrong vs. Killer Khan should be a great feud. Danny Spivey as a poor man's Hogan is actually a pretty amusing idea. That Burke/Regal feud continues to be interesting in unexpected ways.
  19. First match in your tag tourney looks incredible. Last one is just...holy big guys Batman.
  20. Fantastics vs. heel Fabs I would definitely go back in time and pay to see. Always love me a Savage promo. Perfect way for the Sheepherders to win their match.
  21. Ronnie Garvin getting his revenge on the MX was great. Nikita is so huge now. Dusty surviving 10 minutes alone with him would be a major feat. Watts doing a stretcher job is so Watts. I expect a fired up promo and a training montage before the eventual payback match now.
  22. Alfred turning on Adrian Adonis because he's low class, what a snob! So many factions, are the Freebirds faces when they face anyone but the von Erichs?
  23. I thought both guys looked about two steps slow during the beginning if the match. The context makes the end great, but the early work with Invader working at seemingly half speed took me out of it.
  24. Good enough cage, but I have to echo the sentiments regarding the previous. Hard to top Hansen vs. Colon.
  25. Thing about PR is there ins't a ton going on besides brawling and blood. Only so much describing of that I could do. So I use the announcers to get across the why and the interviews to give a snapshot of how the wrestlers are approaching it. Otherwise I'm just writing about how guys punched each other and bled week in and week out. Also, I think wrestling should be more about why the violence is taking place and getting the fans involved in that aspect.
