    So no tux and actual speaking fornSid this time around. But who cares because Arn's got the mic. He looks totally scary with the dark glasses, like an abusive cop. He calls the events at GAB "horrific" or something like that.

    Wow Joey Maggs! And a champion no less.

    This rocked. Loved Kikuchi's determination and fire. Even from the get-go when streamers are thrown, there's a shot of his face and he looks pissed about the streamers, just super focused. This was a couple years before THE MATCH but Kikuchi is able to create tons of sympathy and has such great fire. And Fuchi works brutal holds and bullies the younger guy. No complaints, this is awesome.

    this is another one I switch back and forth on with the 2/25 rnr tag. At this point, I think I just have to go with my favorite match is whichever one I watched last. This is so good. The karate standoff alone makes it great, but the rest of the match is awesome too! I love the back and forth aspect, and it never feels like simply taking turns. So between the clash rnr match and this, we've seen some pretty different stuff from the MX, and it kind of makes me wonder if they would have had another year or so together what they would have come up with.

    Hmm so the RnR, and I guess any southern babyface tag team, kind of love or die by the crowd, so this one hurt them a bit. Whenever I watch the 1990 WCW stuff, I always switch which US tag team matches and which heavyweight rage matches I like best. This time I'm going from liking this one the best to the Doom vs Steiners. Doom had a great 1990, and the tag scene as a whole did too.

    I love this match. Harley Race just going out and hitting big moves on Tommy Rich for 5 minutes or whatever. Total surprise and very entertaining.

    I really thought it was a great moment when the Dudes stand up on the ramp and for a shield to prevent the Horsemen from running out. That's one of the few things I remember as a child watching this, and it still gives me goosebumps. I just think it's a great good vs evil moment of triumph. Also, Sting gives a great look at that point, really concerned about what's going on on the outside. As for the match, I really enjoy it. I think it got the job done and while it's not an absolute classic, I think it's a good main event match. Sting has some selling issues, but I actually think he sells the knee decently enough to make it believable, especially with Ross and Caudle doing a good job on commentary kind of working around the no selling, questioning if he's at 100%. Ideally, it would have been about 5 minutes longer, maybe add some more to the heat segment or something, but I thought the finish was also really hot and I can't complain. As for Sting's promo, I get what he was going for, and he comes off very humble and looks good, but I think we went a bit too far putting Flair over almost at his own expense. It kind of epitomizes Sting's entire career, in that he's The Man, but doesn't quite get the importance of it or really take charge and act like it. Anyway, good main event to close a really good show.

    I don't think I've ever heard or seen a demolition promo before. If I close my eyes it kind of sounds like any old heel team. Disappointing. I expected more sword and sorcery type lingo.

    So it seems like a lot is happening in this show and a lot of new feuds are starting. This is the Texas version of Lawler/Snowman I guess so we'll see how this plays out. I imagine it'll be hard to be as nuanced as that one, but let's see.

    Whoa Austin gets brutal here. Vicious insults and threatens to cripple both Chris AND Jeannie. I wasn't really a fan of Jeannie's promo. I liked the content but the delivery was lacking and was kind of halted or something.

    Man Tatum super kicks Tessa in the head. Pretty good match here, and it seemed strange that it was as long as it was, not the typical thing we've seen in the uswa stuff so far. Tatum still has me hooked, and it's looking like this is leading to a blowoff.

    Another great job for flair. He's really making this seem like a make or break match for sting.

    The couch was awesome, he should have been brought in as a regular. I'm hoping there's more of these where every aspect of Bods Man's life gets buried. Like they go to a prison and prisoners and other guards talk about how bad he was at his job.

    Awesome performance, Valentine's best role of his career.

    I guess a kind of dream match that I didn't know existed and was pretty excited about when I popped up, but man I was bored. I guess Owen is still pretty young here so I wonder if it would have been better a few years later.

    Haha! Percy doing the strut! Great segment, I liked this a lot, and it feels like Devestation Inc is maybe becoming more involved in some feuds.
  17. drew wardlaw
    Ahh this was disappointing. I was expecting a really wild brawl with lots of focus on Toni vs Jeannie and we didn't get that. I'm led to believe there'll be future matches after the finish, so we'll see how those go.

    It's matches like these that make me wish Jarrett was a babyface for more of his big time run. I guess by the time he was in WWF the landscape was changing and a whitemeat babyface wasn't really what the people were looking for but he's very good in the role, and has great fire.

    The first time Jumbo tags in he comes with with a really understated swagger that he's still the man and he's going to take it to the young kids here. I think he loses it some time during the match and I was kind of expecting more intensity from him in the Misawa interactions. He gets the cheap shot in but I don't know, maybe I was just expecting more. Overall though, very solid. Interesting from a historical standpoint and good as a standalone.

    I had no idea this was on the set and it really took me awhile to figure out it was ZEUS in the match. Oh man... I was really hoping he was going to blade at some point. I popped for the 2 liter Pepsi bottle flying into the ring. Great addition to this set, very funny.

    The ring announcer screaming BULL POWER LET HIM UP was real freaky. This was awesome and Vader really brought it as the young guy looking to take down the home guy. Big Otto Wanz wouldn't be denied though and fought back. There's a lot to like here and just two monsters pounding each other. Makes up for the weird vibe of this show.
  22. drew wardlaw
    Liked Adams getting fired up here but he can't compare to my girl Toni.
  23. drew wardlaw
    Haha Sly Stalone with Jeannie! Alright alright we get it with the handcuff stuff. Austin continues to improve but this is kind of annoying.

    Rocky King in jeans and a polo shirt looks like a fan with all these big guys in ring gear. Disappointed we didn't hear from Orndorff.

    Great promo from Percy and he looks and sounds furious, but o really like him when he's docile.
