    i always thought the rapping was a strange choice for a military themed PPV. Would have preferred some black and white war footage with like power electronics or something over it.

    Really cheesy but surprisingly good production, especially for this era. Maybe they had a TBS person involved with this.

    Yeah good call. I always love Arn talking to a woman.

    Haha this would have been great! A blown opportunity. JR's voice got me and I was thinking this was going to be some kind of thing with the Von Erichs or something (I had watched the Kerry Oldsmobile shirt promo prior and that's what was on my mind)

    Kerry saying he's 19 totally straight faced with no pause for a laugh is awesome. Unfortunately it's surrounded by crippling sadness. Mercifully the Soultaker puts an end to it.

    There was a disappointing lack of surrealism or Jeff Jarrett in a towel here. Thumbs down.

    The thing about Cactus's gnarly bumps during this run is that they only mean something in retrospect. None of his bumps get much of a reaction and they don't mean anything anyway. I don't really blame Foley for doing this stuff, I get the mindset, it just doesn't work in the context of his matches.

    Wait I think I confused the other Horsemen Clash promo with this one. I see Mr. VonKramer did too. Oh well, a really well done segment with the end result being the worst decision WCW could have made. I'm trying to find a link between this and the company going out of business in 2001.

    RIP Funk's Grill. I knew it wasn't long for this world but it's still sad to see it go. Really awesome Cornette material where he immediately starts picking on Funk.

    I loved the gimmick of Doom being masked and everyone knows who it is. It's so funny to see them walking to the ring with these ill-fitting masks, barely even trying to hide their identities. It's like a Bugs Bunny cartoon or something almost. Too bad it ended here. Clash 10 is an awful show.

    I remember the novel Gorky Park because my father was reading when I was little and explained to me that it was about a murder in Russia, which frightened me to no end. This segment really came out of nowhere for me, and really didn't make any sense. Kerry telling Gorky Park to "kick the tail of rock n roll in America" or whatever he said was something else.

    Ahh, Kevin Sullivan shows an early propensity for brawling in the ladies washroom. Fascinating long-term storytelling.

    Man..... Jerry Lawler in scrubs with urine, dropping a really deviant line about ladies getting excited for a taste test or something. The machine he uses is so funny too, just that stupid chirping noise when steroids are present in the urine. This is too much.

    A real shame and a mistake here. This is really blindsiding and seems off, but what I do really enjoy is how the Horsemen's collective attitude immediately shifts and they attack Sting. Like as soon as he tries anything, that's it. But ultimately a big shame. Edit: oops! Wrong thread.

    Lawler's picture is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. I absolutely lost my mind for that. And reading from ajtroma that snowbird was a weather puppet for children makes it even better. How awesome.

    I love Dr. Death's face through the ambulance window. He looks as bewildered as everyone else watching this. Hilariously poor thought and execution here. Awesome.
  17. drew wardlaw
    Not much to say other than I really miss seeing local promos and really seeing any information/hype for house shows.

    Between the earlier angle and the match, this is potentially one of the most damaging shows in WCW history. At least up until Starrcade '97. The match has such a weird dynamic since the Horsemen turned earlier in the night, forcing everyone to cheer J-Tex at first, then give up and cheer for Sting. What's impressive here is that everyone works hard, especially Sawyer and Anderson, considering how meaningless the match is to the larger angle. What's disappointing is that Sawyer's big splash has really been put over as a devastating move and here he goes for it off the top of the cage, which should be a huge moment but it's totally overshadowed by everything else.

    Jake's psychology is always so sound. Just go for the DDT and hit and it quick, because it'll end the match. Great teases here, and then we get a Boss Man face turn! I really enjoyed everyone just kind of wandering into a Brother Love segment. Thankfully, I'm saved from having to see Damien.

    A lot of time dome crowds, and stadium crowds in general sound so distant and small that it can create a strange atmosphere but this felt huge. And you could tell the guys were really working for the back row, I loved that.

    A continuation of their 87 NJ feud. The diving headbutt out of the leglock thing was so brutal and awesome. I like this style in general and I enjoy the Takada's and the Anjoh's, but what really makes it work is when a legit shooter is in there making everything really believable and natural feeling. I love the tempo and pacing of these matches where it'll be really slow, then a stiff strike, then back to the mat, then someone gets a submission hold and the crowd pops, etc. The finish was really well done and what a great shot of Fujiwara passing out while trying to hold on to the ankle lock and bleeding from the mouth. Probably the best UWF match on the set so far.

    Really cool to compare this promo with Lawler talking to Art Modell or insulting children or something. He knows its time to get serious and here he is delivering the "straight dope" as Elaine Benes would say. Really gets across the gravity of the (presumably) upcoming match.

    I lost it after Zybysko's low blow, great, great timing. This is right up my alley. A midcard match with solid mat work, some heavy slams, and some striking. Saito looks like the man here, and finally is able to put Zybysko down after a total of 3 backdrop suplexes. Zybysko was really good here, and knew his role well and took a lot of offense and looked great doing it.

    I may have asked this in another thread and may have gotten an answer I forgot, but what's the relationship between Terrance Garvin and Jimmy Jam? They seem to be cut from the same awful cloth. I'm in such a honeymoon phase with Billy Joe Travis that anything he is involved in I like. The chain thing didn't work for me since it was a pretty weak chain to begin with and didn't seem any more harmful than choking someone with your hands, but who cares. Also, anytime someone cuts a promo during a match, it's a winner.

    Are we still a year out from PN News? I reckon PN collaborated with the same producer for some of his freestyles.
