[1992-06-13-WCW-Worldwide] Steve Austin vs Barry Windham
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
I liked this a lot better than the 2/3 falls, and I think Loss nailed it about Austin's confidence. He looked so much more confortable, but then again, 12 minutes is much easier to fill than 30, especially when he's worked with Windham plenty already. -
A decent little TV match, although it's clear that Lee is mostly look and little else. Orndorff's mean streak is really a sight to behold. Too bad Lee didn't eat a piledriver.

[1992-06-13-SMW-TV] Interview: Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
Great promo from Cornette, Lane, and Prichard, basically saying that the Fultons girlfriends are begging them not to hurt them anymore, and also that their girlfriends are uggos.- 10 replies

[1992-06-13-SMW-TV] Down and Dirty: Barry Horowitz
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
Dutch is pretty funny here, and I thought Barry did a good job too, "I thought it was about 25, not so many."- 11 replies

[1992-06-13-USWA-TV] Jerry Lawler and Ron Oakes feature
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
A blatant rip off of Sting, with a goofy name to match. I can't imagine why this guy didn't set the promotion on fire.- 10 replies

[1992-06-13-WWF-Superstars] WBF commercial / Randy Savage and Gene Okerlund
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
First a WBF promo! Savage cuts a nice promo explaining why he bent the rules to win the title from Flair, and how he's not stupid, and that people will do anything to win the title, so he'll do anything to keep it. -
[1992-06-13-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Ultimate Warrior
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
Nothing surprising here, Warrior cuts a rambling, seemingly drug induced, promo.- 10 replies

I like a bunch of these guys, but, as a whole, this really didn't do much for me. Plus, I hated the finish with each side unmasking someone and the ref's arguing about who actually won.

Some quickie comments, as I'm a bit more halfway through the WCW Timeline with Russo: It's really nothing new as far as Russo goes. He comes across much more genuine and humble, but it's the same Russo, blaming everyone else for failures. He constantly harps on the notion that he's not doing another wrestling interview. The highlights, thus far, are his burying of the younger generation of wrestlers, namely Generation Me (IIRC they were the Young Bucks), on how Russo would tell them to slow down and work more on their character, and they were more concerned with getting a four star rating for their match in the WON. He also knocks Christopher Daniels for that same mentality, which is hilarious since Daniels and Kazarian were one of a very few entertaining acts in TNA.

[1992-06-06-WCW-Saturday Night] Barry Windham vs Arn Anderson
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
A very good match from two good workers. It's not exactly state of the art for the time period, but they pull it off very well. Terrible finish though.- 19 replies

I've noticed lately, that a decent amount of posts on the board have contained links for groupon, with random words in the post being linked. I took a screen cap and posted it below. You'll see that the word "YEARBOOK" is underlined in the forum description for the 1990 section. Is anyone else getting these, or just me?

[1992-06-06-WCW-Saturday Night] Madusa and Missy Hyatt
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
Madusa looks seriously do-able here. Great segment that would look right at home in the WWF in 1999.- 12 replies

[1992-06-06-SMW-TV] Tim Horner and Buddy Landell / Interview: Tim Horner
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
Landell is gold here. Talking all kinds of trash and then when Horner comes up to him, he's all "Hey buddy." Nice touch with the audio going out.- 11 replies

[1992-06-06-SMW-TV] Interview: Ron Wright & Dirty White Boy
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
Ron Wright is hilarious, and DWB is great too. Kev put it best, that it's really too bad they didn't have a better babyface to work with. -
Hall claims that Vince hadn't ever see Scarface and that a lot of this stuff were his own ideas. It's an interesting vignette, makes him seem like a big deal. Much more than however many weeks of these silly Crush vignettes have accomplished.

[1992-06-06-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Papa Shango
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
Gene gives a nice recap of Shango's cursing, and then Shango gives a goofy but intense promo. Gene overplays his hand, and Shango curses him too. -
Wow, this was 50 different types of awesome. I really loved how Misawa and Jumbo, who were magnificent as always, left things to Taue and Kobashi. It reminded me a lot of the 12/93 classic, with Misawa stepping aside to allow Kobashi to get the glory. The near falls toward the end were awesome, especially after Misawa had to save Kobashi four or five times, but when Jumbo had him tied up, Kobashi still managed to kick out of the powerbomb.

[1992-06-05-AJPW-Super Power Series] Stan Hansen vs Toshiaki Kawada
MikeCampbell replied to Loss's topic in June 1992
This was good, but not near the level you'd expect given the people involved. There were smart touches from both, like the way Hansen blocked the enzuigiri, and Kawada switching things up and using a lariat to drop Hansen when the kicks weren't getting the job done, and Kawada takes a monster bump off Hansen's lariat.- 16 replies

I haven't watched this yet, but when I saw this, I had to jump in: Honestly, John, I gotta disagree with what you said here. I would find it more likely that Misawa drops the fall to Taue. It sets up Taue's challenge for the TC on 7/31. Meanwhile, Misawa unseats Stan in August, and Taue is right there as the logical first challenger. Instead of Taue in Feb '93, slot in Doc or Gordy based on the tag titles win over Misawa/Kawada.

[1992-06-02-WWF-Ottawa, ONT] Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels

I liked this OK, but it doesn't really hold up well in a yearbook setting alongside so many other great workers and matches.- 11 replies
