    I'm gonna steal my own metaphor that used for the Shawn/Foley match from Mind Games. For one magical night, the stars were aligned just right. The perfect team of gaijin dick heels, the perfect face in peril, the perfect hot tag, and the perfect, rabid, crowd. Kikuchi's goal seemed to be to make sure his life ended on this night, he takes every bump that he can possibly take, and Doug almost breaks him in half with the crab hold.

    I'll fully admit that I haven't seen a ton of AJW, but this just didn't resonate with me all that much. The pace is amazing, and they had some god near falls toward the end, I especially liked the failed monkey flip and jackknife cradle. But it felt more like an indy spotfest, than it did some of the other great AJW matches that I'd seen.

    I dug this a ton, but I wouldn't rate it all that highly. The heels didn't really get to get any heat until the third fall when they got to work over Steamboat for a time. It helps that Koloff was mostly kept on the apron and only involved for important spots, like setting up the finishes to the first and third falls. I really didn't like the finish to the second fall either, there's no reason why the heels couldn't have used the phone to steal the win.

    This is wrestlecrap, pure and simple. It's amusing wrestlecrap, with Precious semingly trying to mold them into respectable people, but Michael and Jimmy were still Michael and Jimmy.
  5. MikeCampbell
    This was a fun little segment, Paul E's reaction when Steamer's music hit was priceless.

    Good lord, I love these Eric Embry promos. All the intensity of Warrior, and you can actually understand WTF he's talking about. A fun little TV match follows, with a funny line of "This one's for Prichard!" then the Moondogs run in and all hell breaks loose. Embry is so tough or nuts, that he no sells the board shot.
  7. MikeCampbell
    I agree with the notion that Gilbert didn't really need to be involved. Sure, he had that original promo with Prichard, but he'd already moved on up to Lawler and Jarrett, so this is sort of below him. Travis shows up and Christopher's new rivalry is set.
  8. MikeCampbell
    Gilbert shoots on Jarrett, and his failed basketball career. Gilbert is awesome here. Like Loss said, the Flair look really worked for Eddie.
  9. MikeCampbell
    The usual goofy promo from Warrior, only this time he starts "bleeding" some sort of black liquid. Much cooler than the vomiting.
  10. MikeCampbell
    I bet that's what Flair's actual voicemail sounds like.

    Here's the Warrior puking! One of the few bad angles that I, as a nine year old mark, knew was stupid. Honestly, I don't see the point in including both the original footage and this on the disc. The stuff before the puking wasn't so great that it needed to be seen twice, like Steamer hanging Rude was.

    I wish I knew was Cornette was thinking with this idea. He'd already said that his idea choice for the champion was Brad Armstrong, but he wasn't available. Why he felt he pretty much had to cut off Brian's balls from the start, I don 't know. Like Cox said, this makes Bob the top babyface, not Lee.

    Lots of great stuff here from all six. I think Kawada was the standout performer here, which was fitting with him picking up the win for his team. The stuff that mostly stuck with me was from Kawada, like taking that knee to the midsection from Jumbo and jumping back to his feet and leveling him with the elbow. Right before the finish, when Taue charges and Kawada levels him with the ganmengiri was another spot I liked, the timing was a bit off, but it still worked for me.
  14. MikeCampbell
    Simply put, this is what awesome is all about. It was probably the last great War Games match. Hateful and bloody, with a bunch of great spots, and a creative ending.
  15. MikeCampbell
    This was much more brutal and stiff than I recalled. It's well known for Iizuka's facial injures, but considering the shots they dished out, someone was gonna get hurt. Credit to the kid for keeping going.
  16. MikeCampbell
    This had some good stuff, although some of their ideas were questionable with the body part work being done, like Zenk's big boot when his leg had been worked over. But, that was counterbalanced with smart things like the powerslam counter, and the finish with Pillman outsmarting Zenk.
  17. MikeCampbell
    I've got nothing new to add here. Savage's line about the title being his before it was Flair's was great.
  18. MikeCampbell
    I can't say that this really did anything for me. It wasn't horrible or anything, but seemed rather unspectacular to me.
  19. MikeCampbell
    Good promo from Rude, but, like Loss said, where is the buildup to War Games? With all these great promos, I'm bummed that the blowoff to Rude/Steamboat was the Iron Man Match, which was non title?
  20. MikeCampbell
    Great line from Steamer that he doesn't want Rude's woman, he wants Rude's title.
  21. MikeCampbell
    Segments like this are why Lawler is such an institution in Memphis.
  22. MikeCampbell
    Embry saves Larry Arch from the beating of his life. I agree with what Kevin said about the Lawler/Gilbert segment needing air after this. Embry's promo is awesome as well, especially his line about how the area meant more to him than Texas did.
  23. MikeCampbell
    It was an awesome segment, I legit jumped when Gilbert attacked Lawler. All things considered though, you can't say Lawler didn't have it coming.
  24. MikeCampbell
    The Moondogs angle continues to bring the awesomeness. Richard Lee's drunken selling when he got popped by Marlin was almost as awesome. Why didn't Eddie Gilbert try to bring the Moondogs into ECW when he first started with them? If they were anything like they had been in Memphis, they'd have gotten over like a million bucks.
  25. MikeCampbell
    Shango made this bearable with his goofy facial expression and body language. I liked Vince's skepticism, saying that it might have just been an unfortunate accident, as though Warrior ate tainted pork or something. And, Will, thanks for sparing us puking backstage.
