    I'm very thankful we didn't get Mr. Frenchy in person. I think the sadness would have been too much for me to bear.

    This felt like it was the first step in a longer feud, and by reading the comments I'm led to believe that we'll get another match next year, which is great. Definitely felt like they held back for this one, but it was still good.

    Cool braids shot of Cactus and him as a highlight reel at this point looks really "wild" and dangerous. The Cactus clothesline especially looks really out of control. I guess at this point Cactus really works best in this situation, just shots of him doing insane things.

    Hahaha awesome! A moondog with a Von Erich! Wish we would have gotten a DDP appearance.

    Wow Eddie's back with a vengeance. One of the biggest reactions of the year for the studio I think.

    Big bummer here. Total lowest common denominator stuff that honestly kind of lessens the impact of the Snowman stuff. Too bad.

    Of course this is silly and bad and whatever else, but theoretically, if they had just done this as an experiment or something to give Sting a feud for a Clash, I think it's a much more interesting feud than if they did a throwaway title defense with a random heel (I can't even think of who's a believable title challenger heel at this point, Butch Reed maybe?) but the fact that this went all the way to the end of the year AND there was no actual resolution for it is the really disappointing part.

    We get a full look at the Masters here. And the look is not so good.

    I remember hearing an interview with Ole where he laughed about the Black Scorpion thing and did the voice. It came off like he had planned it to be a joke the whole time. I don't know if it's worse if that's the truth or if he thought it was actually a good idea at the time.

    I didn't know there were escape rules until the finish. I thought Aja Kong was climbing up to pull a Jimmy Snuka and then she just won. Very anti-climatic. I didn't care too much for the match overall, but I did like Bull's leg being worked on by cutting it with the box thing. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

    I actually really liked the finish of this. Tenryu just beat Takagi in a corner until he couldn't continue. Great shots of Takagi's battered face, awesome match.

    Skull's gear has some proto-Stone Cold elements to it. So this is the last of not only last televised segment of Austin/Adams but of the whole promotion for the year? Kind of bitter sweet. I've said before that I was experiencing some fatigue with both this and Memphis, but especially this promotion. But now that the end has come, I just don't know how to feel.

    I like these Fantastics matches because they provide something that I'm not really used to seeing in All Japan. Outside of the tag league, it's mostly big heavyweight tags and singles matches that I'm familiar with, and this feels more like "normal" tag match. Sure Kobashi is in it but it doesn't feel like a huge dramatic event. This was better than the previous match, and the match ups and roles being played were really cool. Kobashi and Rogers as the guys kind of carrying the match, with Ace and Fulton supplementing with the brawling and a different pace. Also, Johnny Ace had a cool drop kick/double team thing early on.

    The springboard spot was botched, definitely, but Rogers is right there in the ring waiting for Kikuchi, and it almost comes off like he scares him or something, and like Kikuchi gets intimidated off the ropes and on to the floor. Really interesting comment above about how RnR couldn't have worked this match. It's not really working heel, it's not vicious or stiff, but there's like a certain strength or power they're working with. I don't know, I can't really articulate it, but I agree. They come off as serious competitors in a fight, and less like pro wrestlers maybe?

    Oh the Master Blasters. what a time this is for the company. They just never got the production side of things down. Then we've got a Sting interview, he says he doesn't know who the Black Scorpion could be, but something about someone he used to know. Boy that's too bad.
  16. drew wardlaw
    Wow I say this every time but Sherri is so incredible. So vicious and commanding. She stands up to Warrior here and the feud already has some intensity that was lacking in the Rude feud.
  17. drew wardlaw
    The biggest heel move you can pull is to talk about kids going back to school and be happy about it. That's worse than injuring the Hulkster.

    For once I actually know where this is going with the eye stuff. those novelty perfume spray things are such a classic prop, always funny. Rick is looking extra slick with that ponytail too, good promo.

    Guys I can't think of any puns, I'm sorry!

    Agree with everyone else here, I liked this more than the June match. June had the surprise and the emotion, but this told a better story I think. Misawa looks more like his equal throughout the first part of the match, I lost it for the pin reversal, and then Jumbo just goes off. The exhaustion towards the end of the match was excellent, whether it was intentional or not. Them kind of falling on each other was awesome. What a match.
  21. drew wardlaw
    Cool match, fairly inconsequential, but some good work and I really liked Kobashi's leg drop.
  22. drew wardlaw
    Very solid match. The dynamic of the match, and the whole feud, is perfect for me, and Jumbo plays his role so well here. Kobashi looked very good, maybe the best he's looked so far? I don't want to take anything away from Kobashi because he was great here, but Jumbo really impressed me, perfect amounts of give and take here.

    I'm really starting to lose steam on the USWA. I think I've posted as much in a few threads. Honestly, a lot of it is Akbar and co.

    Another solid Flair promo. I'm all in on this match.
  25. drew wardlaw
    Great promo by Dusty. Is this his most serious promo in WWF? All the dancing and jiving is gone and he's feeling it. The other promos are pretty standard, Warrior still looks strange to me. Earthquake has a gnarly welt or cut or something on his back, you could see it at the end of the Hogan match but it looks really gruesome here. I really like that they had these segments before the main event, it give it a bit of a big time feel and kind of sets it apart from the rest of the card.
