  1. I was thinking the same about that excuse garetta. Embry and Dave's interactions put a smile on my face here. Gloating about beating up a long retired Jackie Fargo is certainly a good way to ensure heel heat. Typical Memphis stuff I agree, but spun right afterwards for the best effect.
  2. Good squash with a hot brawl erupting afterwards. This could have been such a massive deal if handled right.
  3. Great opener for any PPV. High energy, never-say-die team against a pair of big heel asskickers is just a good way to get a crowd going. Barbarian bringing the power offense was pretty good with a few hiccups.
  4. Neidhart looking good against the Nasties was a lot of fun. That whole hot tag/finishing sequence was far better than I hoped it would be.
  5. Really good stuff here for wearing blindfolds. I caught that Jake's was see-through as well, but it's wrestling. Martel's chair-into-the-post spot was brilliant. Great way to blow off the preceding angles.
  6. Flair cuts an amazing promo that, let's face it, seems to ring pretty true of Sting's title run. He only seems to be coming around to believing he's the man in the last month or so.
  7. This kind of stuff doesn't work if you don't have a guy like Heenan. He is so damn good at taking what could be utter garbage and turning it into gold. I absolutely agree that Bossman's mom doing the beating is far more satisfying than anything Bossman could have done himself.
  8. Jake and Bobby are so damn good in this. Two absolute professionals in every sense of the word. Just amazing to watch.
  9. This was holy shit levels of both bullshit and absolute gold. The distance they kept from each other, the insistence by both that the ONLY reason they are teaming is Jackie Fargo got beat up. Keirn as a serious interview is really, really good and I question why the guy didn't have a great career somewhere. Also, this promo really makes you think the Texas boys are gonna get the beating of their lives in MSC.
  10. Love this segment. Both guys play their characters so well and it helps get over the WM7 match even more.
  11. Hase/Sasaki are a really fun team. Normally I'm not all that into Kensuke, but he looks pretty good and I won't complain that he got to come in and hit some of his big stuff. He always makes that look good, even if the in betweens don't impress.
  12. Taue bites off a little more than he can chew knocking Misawa off the apron. OR DOES HE? Wait, no, Misawa is massacring him with those elbows and I think he did. Kobashi and Kikuchi double teaming the entire opposing team into oblivion and then the dive fake-Kikuchi dive is so awesome. Kikuchi making the big comeback is great stuff as well. Taue really comes out of this match looking good.
  13. Great match I thought. Jarrett and Pritchard work really well together, even if I think Pritchard could come out with the advantage on one or two exchanges right away. Not often a screwjob finish makes the babyface look stronger, but this one does.
  14. I liked the intensity and stiffness of the exchanges a lot. I also think they went back to Flair taking a back body drop or somebody grabbing a quick headlock far too often. Even if they worked in those headlocks, it just seemed like both guys had more they could have done.
  15. This was an unexpected match, but in such a good way. Honaga will sink to whatever depth he has to in order to beat Liger. And boy does LIger get PISSED about it! A fired-up Liger comeback is always great, made even better when his opponent goes out of his way to earn it.
  16. I like Nogami a lot. He keeps things simple and tends to go more for a solid story in a match instead of looking for big reactions. No exception here as he is pretty focused on Liger's leg injury and they work a great match around that.
  17. Really strange match. At first I thought they didn't have a lot of time so they were just getting their shit in. Then they started stalling between bursts of real offense, then came the "nobody can hit a signature move" part. Certainly fun in parts, but not great as a whole.
  18. If you must do a heavyweight bomb-fest, this is how it ought to be done. Not my cup of tea, but I do get why there are those who love it.
  19. Billy is a really good matwork guy when he needs to be. Still a better puncher though.
  20. Not a huge fan of the "Thank God for Kids" deal, but mostly well done and a great tribute.
  21. Brutal finish, I've always wanted to see Tanaka do more. He seems like a really good wretsler when he's not playing up a martial arts Asian gimmick to the hilt.
  22. I thought they worked a really good match, but forgetting the glove on the pole for the entire second half was not ideal.
