Some really great stuff going on in the South. Rich gets some payback but he should still be careful. I like the Young Guns tournament. It's cool seeing these future stars battling it out to get that title. Hard to choose a winner but I'll go with Windham. Is Sullivan to be trusted??? Dory Funk is rolling as Gulf States Champ but man does he have a challenge on his hands with Rhodes. I'm all for a Orndorff/Mosca feud. Wow, the Triad is causing some serious havoc! Taking out all the top names. This is going to set up a lot of fun matches.

Man, this show was full of excitement! Lot's of awesome stories being developed. Severn defending his title in the tournament is so unique and anything can happen there. If Severn wins the tournament then he will be the true beast for sure. LOL, Jimmy Hart as the deputy will make for some entertaining TV. Cant wait to see what talent Jessie brings to the NWA. Dibiase has put together one monstrous stable! Sid going after the title and Gordy/Williams going after the tag titles-WOW! Liked the little segments involving Jericho/Storm/Candido, Males/Wright and especially liked the Landel part LOL. This is some fun mid card stuff. Bigelow and Hunter have strong showings. What an ending! The Blondes are back! Dustin run in and Dusty laid out. You will defiantly have fans tuning in next week.

Fatu with a big win over Bravo. Always nice seeing an Inoki match. Garvin continues to roll as champion. Good to see Adias and Sunny opposing each other again. I really like that feud. Nice match between the Rougeau brothers. Ray gets the win but good sportsmanship follows. Awesome main event as Martel seems to be back to his winning ways. A win over Abdullah solidifies that.

LOL, fun way to open the show. Shaw takes care of Horowitz. I wonder if Shaw will ever get that perfect moment with Madusa. Mero cuts a cool promo. Him and Morton in a tuxedo match should be a wild one. X and Smothers are becoming quite the duo but they might have their hands full with Sid and Brad. Nord has been on a rampage and now Eaton is in his path. However, it looks like somebody is coming after Nord. Sandman and Larry Z look tuned up but I don't know if they'll be able to handle Luger and Simmons. I do know, they will put up one heck of a fight.

Man, the build to War Games has been full of excitement and intrigue. What does Flair have up his sleeve??? I like the Sting/Martel alliance. I know the Stud Stable have the numbers but they better be ready. Luger was fired up tonight! I already prefer the Triumvirat of Terror over the Dungeon of Doom LOL. Even though he came up short, fun seeing Dutch Mantel get a nice last run. Looking forward to Fall Brawl!

Youngbloods and Can Ams, go to the limit and keep fighting, continuing their great feud. Pillman with a nice win over Cactus as Cactus continues to spiral out of control. Love that finish to the Burke/Douglas match. The Guerreros just have Larry Z's number and send him on a tantrum. LOL, Bock slaps some sense into him. Vader debuts!!!! Man, he just destroyed Scorpio. Vader makes a huge statement in the AWA! British Steel get a nice title defense over the veteran team of Patera and Blackwell. That would of been a cool match to watch. Piper and Steamboat end in chaos but it looks like Piper has a monster weapon set to go after the AWA World title.

Hall impresses tonight. Fun heel win for Harley. Sabu and Dundee put on a solid match as Dundee's experience wins him the match but Sabu walks away looking strong. It takes 3 super kicks but Adams finally puts down Cactus. I like the unhinging of Cactus Jack. Orton retains with a hard fought victory over Perez.

WCW Saturday Night was pretty action packed. Albright establishes himself as a tough customer. Main event type match as Sting gets a big win over Luger. Martel feuding with the Stud Stable should be a lot of fun. Martel might need some back up. Kensuke falls short against the Giant. I wonder if he impressed Flair enough to get a spot in War Games. LOL, unique main event as Fuller helps Slater get the win. Both Sting and Slater seem to be ready for their US title match.

Levy might want to get his affairs in order before he gets in the cage with Azrael. WOW! AHS make short work of the Highway Men and prove the belts belong to them. Eaton/Smothers was a fun match and also sets up a big Sid/Smothers match for next week. Eaton has been a true workhorse. Passionate promo from Larry Z. I cant wait for that I Quit match. Great main event as Luger retains the title in a hard fought match with Chavis. I'm all for a Luger/Eaton match.

ECW adds a whole new dynamic to the Dawn of War! Paul E and Cornette going face to face was priceless. Loved the old Memphis guys invading the arena. Cornette's insults on Douglas were hilarious. Sandman and Hansen for the ECW title is going to be AWESOME! Pit Bulls, Rob and Scorpio get strong TV wins and give the viewers some good action during the debut show. I think PG13 are going to be in trouble. A lot of people are upset with Tommy Dreamer but Raven knew it all along LOL, that was a nice touch. Great debut show, looking forward to that big card in Queens. The battle lines have been drawn for Dawn of War!

Bravo is right back in the thick of things. Him going against the Dangerous Alliance should be a lot of fun. Liked that SST/Harts match. The sibling Hart rivalry continues to build. Nobody gets up from the Mulligan claw. Good explanation from Brito. Cool seeing Charland backing him up. I would love to see them team up more. LOL, this time Sommers gets the bug head. Good to see Jacques fired up. Garvin should be concerned. Nice pairing of Garvin and Owen and looks like they worked well together. Nice set up between Kokina and Saito as there miscue segues into a falls count anywhere match. Solid main event as Bravo defeats Armand in a hard fought match up.

Oh man, Tully and Arn defending against the Mega Powers at the next SNME is going to be epic! I like this fun feud going between Hennig/Roma/Powers and Hart's men. I know Hogan is pumped up but he's going to have a lot of men gunning to collect that bounty. Muraco and Muta teaming up, yea that's awesome! Warrior disappears but looks like Sting isn't losing a step. Another classic Horsemen segment. I'm really intrigued with the Windham/Mulligan scenario. Fun TV main event as Tito and Duggan prove to be a solid team. Could a tag title shot be in their future?

NWA showed they're a serious player in Dawn of War! Awesome debut. Dusty as Sheriff, Jessie calling the shots and Sunny on commentary. A frustrated Austin feuding with an unhinged Pillman...YES! Booking an Eddie/Benoit match to kick your show off in the ring is genius. Harlem Heat will be a dominating force here. Liked the Cactus and Bam Bam hype segments. Ahmed makes an impactful debut and it looks like Hunter wants to play some games with him. He might regret that. Exciting show. I'm really interested in seeing Severn's title reign here.

Bittersweet night for the Rougeaus. Ray and Armand pick up nice wins but Jacques suffers a loss and gets embarrassed. LOL, that was pretty creative of Sommers. Crews with another successful title defense as his roll continues. Fun street fight. Even though they came up short, I liked the Flame/Kirchner pairing. Great seeing Hot Property teaming again and they get a huge win over the Long Riders. Awesome seeing Bravo come out from the crowd to help Martel! Dino is home!

WWF fires back with a bang! Great way to kick off the show with Hart and Lawler, which perfectly sets up their cage match. Nice debut for Johnny B Badd. I always thought that gimmick would of worked well in this WWF era. Bulldog isn't playing around. Savage is back home! He gets straight to the point and challenges for the title. Diesel accepts and now the match is official. I know the fans are loving this. Classic Undertaker here. Looking forward to his next big program. Awesome tag title match. Head Shrinkers have a great showing but the champs escape. The open challenges will make for great TV. LOL, Dok Hendrix, Todd Pettengill and In Your House, yep this is 90s WWF.

LOL Lovers Lane, well it was fun while it lasted but I knew Payne wasn't done with Shaw. I have a feeling this feud is going to get crazy. Nice job building Frazier up as a monster. Levy's investment in him is paying off well. Looking forward to Azrael and Frazier squaring off. Brad takes another beating at the hands of X and Smothers. Brad is going to need some help. Strong words from Luger and Simmons. I hope Larry Z is ready. Fun main event. Morton winning and keeping his hair is defiantly the right call. I couldn't imagine a world with a mullet less Morton LOL. Cant wait for next week's title show.

Oh snap! Road Warriors vs. Hansen and Brody in a cage! Epic way to get things rolling. Cant wait to find out who Kerry will be defending his title against.

Cant wait to see the booking of 'New Attitude' British Bulldog. Also looking forward to seeing how Jerry Lawler does. IRL, I wish he would of been taken more seriously as a wrestler in the WWF. Randy Savage! I know he can still go. I'll be tuning in for sure.

Looks pretty cool. I like the looks of that Sting/Slater match. War Games should be a blast!

All sorts of craziness to start the show but what would you expect from a ECW lumberjack match. Strong finish as Eaton retains! Chavis upsets Simmons and gets a title shot but suffers a beatdown afterwards. Looking forward to that I quit match. That Mero/Barbershop segment was hilarious. Shaw wins a battle against Payne. I'm sure this isn't done yet. Fun way to end the show. Morton still has his fans LOL.
