Jake absolutely kills it in every promo I've seen from him. You can see the start of a "new" Jake, you get the sense of loss and how it's messing with him.
-
Funny stuff with the pregnant lady and Bobby making cracks that the crowd was not too pleased with. I'd have been laughing anyway.
-
Horrible segment. I was pretty sure as soon as 'Quake mentioned he was a chef I knew where they were going. I hoped not, but there it is.
-
I liked IRS actually naming wrestlers. Kind of ties him into, you know, EVERYTHING ELSE. Savage's line about Piper is classic. Who knew Savage was so good as an announcer? Bossman feuding with the Mountie may be good, but it's got a lot of potential pitfalls as well. -
Missy attacking Paul is amusing for sure, but ultimately pointless.
-
Gilbert cuts another amazing promo. That was as close to a perfect I-used-to-be-a-heel fired up babyface promo as you can get. I'd agree that the bait-and-switch was completely unnecessary can could have been avoided.
-
Finish is....way too familiar. Not sure why the whole tabloid Warrior story got brought up unless Hellwig somehow pissed Embry off somewhere along the line.
-
Nice kicks by Vrij, but you never got the feeling Maeda was really in that much trouble. Match does what it is supposed to and Maeda beats the douchey foreigner to the delight of the crowd.
-
The Rockers continue their massive push. Shawn Michaels is going have an attitude well before the mid-90s at this rate.
-
I liked how even when things got heated during exchanges Tamura was still far more surgical with his strikes instead of just throwing stuff out there. And he had a definite plan of attack, really attacking the leg throughout. Kakihara looked more like a guy who was, as mentioned above, just hoping something landed instead of putting the right strike in the right place to land.
-
I liked how awesome (and hurty) the over the shoulder armbreaker looked on a shorter guy like Liger. THAT is something that ought to have been ripped off time and again. The Jim Breaks stomps to the arm and kneedrops that followed were spectacular. One touch I loved was Hase getting the advantage through more heavyweight means, then Liger taking control through flying. Hase decides to go up top, which only solidifies Liger's advantage when he is countered. Great bit of junior vs. heavyweight psychology that makes it's point without overstating it.
-
Match looked really fun up until things went a bit too far. Was Paul E. watching and taking notes? Because this is starting to feel like ECW could spring up at any moment.
-
Great promo by both, but Gilbert really brings it home at the end.
-
I like Keirn's way of cutting a promo a lot. He's still fired up, but there's no need to scream at the top of your lungs to get that across.
-
Yeah I can't get behind matches like this. Just too much.
-
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.
-
This guy gives terrible tax advice. The WWF should hire somebody else.
-
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.
-
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.

[1991-04-30-WWF-Primetime Wrestling] Interview: Ultimate Warrior
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in April 1991
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. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Honaga did one good thing though. Ran straight into that lariat from Benoit. That shit looked like it HURT.
