    Taue really coming into his own in 91. I get why they didn't go full-bore hate because Misawa-Jumbo was coming up and they had to go "different". What they did worked really well and still got across the hate. I do like how they managed to do things this differently and still put on a good match based on their rivalry.

    Good for what it was supposed to be. If you're going to warm up a crowd, this is one of the better ways to do it.

    After the mention on-air a few weeks ago and this, Lawler's doctor had to see a pretty good uptick in business.

    I suppose one of the reasons they always go back to this is that most people are at least a little creeped out by snakes, if not outright afraid of them. It is something Jake really takes advantage of, face or heel.

    Imagine that, Flair and Missy have good chemistry.

    I was thinking of the Valentine segment as well. Either way, both guys are giving this 110% for not near the reaction you would hope for. Almost like 1990 killed any steam Lex might have built up.

    I get making Arn and Barry getting this kind of time given the situation. It's just odd to see the Arn, who was always Flair's go-to guy, talk like this.

    Lawler/Embry in Memphis is a great, great matchup. Free from the constraints on blood and violence they really beat the shit out of each other.
  9. dawho5
    Eddie's punches right off the bat were absolute gold. Then of course he gets beaten into a bloody pulp. I liked that he was still crawling after Embry and co. as we go to commercial.

    JC Ice predictably double crosses Billy. And then Uncle Dave won't stop letting him know how disappointed and disgusted he is with this behavior. No wonder JC keeps acting out!

    Piper and Savage leaving in disgust was a nice touch. Ted worked a nice squash here with some crisp offense.

    Owen with some generic agility stuff, but I would agree that you don't want him doing too much too soon. Odd that the thing that really made Pillman stand out was his intensity and Owen stood out for his execution. Yet WCW wanted to push them for their amazing aerial attacks. Okay, not odd. What is the word I am looking for? Oh, it's very WCW that they did that.

    Great segment, Eddie getting fired up is always a treat and Embry is just so low down and dirty. Edit: Is this late 90s WCW ref Mickey Jay?
  14. dawho5
    I would echo the above statements for this. It's good, but given the participants that is the starting point and there is no reason this wasn't far, far better even if the feud had to continue.

    Savage on commentary was so incredible. Great segment all-around.
  16. dawho5
    USWA Texas is even more reliant than Memphis side on the traditional Memphis nonsense. Must have something to do with being on ESPN and having to tone down the violence/no blood. Either way, great work that gets drowned out (again) by shit booking to continue the feud.
  17. dawho5
    I don't worry about whether I think the 90 match or this one are better. I think they are both incredible and wish they had made Pillman a big time challenger for Flair so we got matches throughout the 90s. Top notch work from both and it's hard for me to think that nobody in the WCW offices took notice of how amazing Pillman has been when given the chance.

    Great beatdown by Satanico. Not a lot more to say really.
  19. dawho5
    Morton and Flair always deliver when paired off. Barry is really coming on strong of late. As mentioned above, the booking kills this, but fun while it lasts.
  20. dawho5
    They are two for two this week on cage matches. Really strong roster right now means they don't have to rely on gimmicky stuff as much. Even if they do the patented Memphis heel beatdown afterwards as well as throw in ref bumps.
  21. dawho5
    This here looked like an incredible cage match. Both guys throwing awesome, violent strikes, Embry bleeding, those chairshots looked brutal. I am with soup, this would be the one MSC match I would want in full that I've seen so far.
  22. dawho5
    Man, if they weren't going to do anything real with Pillman, they should have not kept giving him chances to shine like this. Because both Pillman and Windham deliver and it makes for a great TV segment.
  23. dawho5
    Embry attacking Lawler's neck after the DDT was absolute gold. As was Lawler's comeback. I have to agree that the cage was all kinds of wrong and distracting.
  24. dawho5
    Love this matchup. Jumbo is so good at making a lesser guy like Kawada looks like he has a glimmer of a chance. Then slamming the door shut with enough authority that you know Jumbo is still The Man.
  25. dawho5
    Hogan when he is more subdued comes across as human. Not entirely, but enough that you can really get behind him as a babyface. Great interview.
