    How about Brian Adias then?

    The jobber in question was Mark Starr.

    Someone mentioned, years ago, that Bill Goldberg was one of the people originally on Piper's team. Any truth to that, I'd long since forgotten about the entirety of the segment, except for John Tenta.

    I don't have the exact date offhand, but the Takada/Kitao screwjob is probably worth checking out. For those who don't know, Kitao and Takada were supposed to go to a draw, but Takada doubled crossed Kitao and legit KO'd him with a high kick.

    That must have been before I was around. When I used to talk to him he was all about Shinjiro Ohtani. I haven't head from him in years, last time I'm recalling was in 2010, when I had my surgery and he wished me well.

    You're welcome!

    Bret vs. Martel for the IC Title on an episode of Prime Time, which wound up leading to that goofy Shawn/Martel SummerSlam match.

    There's nothing I can really add here, that wasn't already said by Loss, John, or anyone else. I enjoyed this a lot, especially the stuff on the mat. It's the first time I've seen Santo job.

    It's no wonder that Austin wound up being such a good worker. Getting to work matches like this with Barry, and then later in the year getting to work with Ricky Steamboat.

    This is campy, but entertaining. Especially the woman asking how she can be his first lady, and Rude replying "I'll get with you later."

    This wasn't awful, but wasn't anything especially good, aside from some decent bumps. It was better than expected, given who was involved, but that's about it.

    The same day that Eddie shoots on the USWA, Paul E. shoots on WCW? Coincidence?

    Tony traded the DWG for Ron Wright. It's a step up in the promo dept.
  14. MikeCampbell
    This was awesome. Eddie shows up and "shoots" on USWA, with the Global Title, and compares Guy Coffee and Eddie Marlin to the House Banking scandal.

    Awesome angry promo from Embry, going through the names the Moondogs have beaten up and run out of Memphis. Richard Lee is so obnoxious that he's great.

    This was a fun match. Sarge took a couple of nice bumps, considering his age. This was supposed to be a "a new and improved" shock stick, but I don't think it was seen again after this. The blown slingshot spot actually worked for me, only because of the size difference, so it made sense that a smaller guy like Flair couldn't get him over for it.

    I think I've said it before, but I'll repeat it here. Papa Shango is the biggest rip of of Baron Samedi from Live and Let Die. It makes me think that Vince caught the film on TV one night and decided to use the gimmick.

    Savage compares himself to the Bruins and Celtics, which is interesting since he's not from Boston. Good promo though, especially him wanting Flair, Heenan, and Perfect out of the WWF, and 2/3 would be within two years.

    This is such a smart match, from a wrestling perspective. Albright and Takada are both smart enough to know what they need to do to win. Gary needs keep with what had been working for him, namely his suplexes, and not get into a striking match. Takada needs to get Gary on the ground and take out his arms (just look at the size of Gary's legs). They way they put it together is excellent. Takada seems to finally be presented with a real challenge to his throne, and Gary had mowed down everyone in his path, but he's not in for a walk in the park.

    There's not much to say about this, it's a couple of all time greats, having a 1970's style exhibition in a shootstyle promotion. It looked like things would get serious after Nick's knee strike. They were both still in great shape, and could still go.

    More info from Tabe, per his history of UWFI on Kevin Wilson's 'Puroresu Central' website. From UWFI Trainer Pat McCarthy: "The Berbick fight? No rules were ever changed -- that guy just never wanted to listen", McCarthy says. "The rules were always going to be UWFI rules --- it was one of our typical mixed bouts."

    I dug this a ton. It's really clear here that Misawa is the heir apparent, and that he's got it in him to beat Hansen. I really liked the arm work from Misawa. All Japan never really pushed submission finishes in big matches, so it was cool to see him trying to beat Hansen with a Fujiwara armbar. Stan's selling here was phenomenal, there's no way that Brody would have put Misawa over this way.

    This is a nice contrast of WCW to the WWF, WWF would have never let a match like this see the light of day. It's a nice match, but goes a bit too long. "The Color Commentator of the '90's" is un-fucking-bearable.

    I saw the Rhaka Kahn comments. When I saw the post about her going "Biblical" I thought she really went off on her, I didn't think it was literal.
  25. MikeCampbell
    Thought the same. However it hasn't earned her friends. Rhaka Khan replied and went biblical while Reby Sky essentially called her a hard up drug addict. Links? Quotes?
