    Shoe, you described WWF Flair perfectly here, he's definitely Flair, but not the Flair we're accustomed to. The empty auditorium is priceless. I'm surprised that we haven't seen any sort of segment on RAW like that.

    I had to turn up the volume quite a bit, but it was worth it for the Piper promo. "I've dealt with bullies like you, Justice! I've dealt with sissies like you, Flair! I just needed a MAN in my corner!" This wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything surprising to me, aside from the legdrop not being the finish. Flair does the heavy lifting and eats the pin in the end. Hogan and Sid heat up their 'Mania match.

    The "Herd" bit cracked me up. All these segments really make Jim's new team seem like a huge deal, and they were.
  4. MikeCampbell
    Wow, this was a great video package. It really made these two seem like a big deal. I've seen almost all of the SMW TV from this year and I don't remember these two in the least. This would make you think they'd give you something to remember them by. EDIT: Looks like they're only appearance was dropping a match to the Fulton Bros in the tag title tournament.

    AWESOME angry revenge promo by DWB!

    Christopher looks like a dead ringer for his father. Was it not well known before Heyman let the cat out of the bag? Valiant looks like he's 70 years old, but he's got some charisma. This was an interesting, but fun, inclusion on the set.

    How topical was Dahmer in 1992? That doesn't seem all that far removed from AW's Kobe Bryant reference.

    Loss said it best, this is right out of an Austin/McMahon angle from a 1998 RAW. The only thing that could have made this better would be the ref ringing the bell on a headlock and saying that Eddie quit.

    This was so cheesy that it's awesome. "What do I look like, idiot?"

    Prichard is totally doing his Brother Love voice. I half expected him to finish with "I Loooooooove You!"
  11. MikeCampbell
    I know it killed the crowd, but I actually found Kobashi's headlock work to be quite engrossing. When Kawada is in control, he's in total control, almost treating Kobashi like a rookie, and laying the groundwork for the following year when they'd be on opposite sides. Kobashi takes the beating and dishes it out pretty good himself, and it's Kawada so you can only imagine how well he puts it over, but Kobashi was a few years away from being a genuine threat to him.

    This was just what I needed to wash away the memories of the Kaki/Silver match. It's one third the length and eons more appealing. It was funny watching Fujiwara play despicable foreign heel, all that was missing was throwing a handful of salt into Vale's eyes.

    I really liked how each fall had its own identity. The first fall was pretty much a sprint, and showcased how necessary Aja was for her team's success. Aja most stayed out of things, and as a result her team lost the first fall. The second fall was Aja asserting her dominance in the match by bringing all kinds of pain and punishment to Toyota and Yamada. Aja pretty much wins the fall by herself, all Bison really has to do is keep Toyota at bay. In the last fall, it seemed like everyone was starting to run out of gas (no surprise with the pace they were working), so it's quite a bit slower, but it features a hot finish run with Toyota and Yamada making their comeback and Aja being as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. They throw everything they have at Aja but can't keep her down, it winds up taking a double backdrop off the top, by them both, to finally put her away.

    The last five to seven minutes were a good change of pace, but I wasn't into this at all. Neither was especially flashy like Tamura can be, or showed the personality of Anjoh. It'd have been just as easy for them to go 10-12 as it was to go 30.
  15. MikeCampbell
    I've seen clips of this before, but never in full. This was outstanding, especially the Vince/Hodgson stuff.
  16. MikeCampbell
    Flair arriving to the press conference in his robe, over a suit, is simply awesome.
  17. MikeCampbell
    This was fun stuff from Piper, especially at the end when he teases hitting Bret from behind, a good reminder that only a few years ago Piper would have done that without hesitation.
  18. MikeCampbell
    This wasn't bad, but it's rather unremarkable, aside from Pillman's selling. It really shows how lackluster the original Light Heavyweight Division was.
  19. MikeCampbell
    Dutch and Bob are awesome here, especially when Dutch starts ripping on the fans, and talks about the Fantastics bringing the "Oriental" disease back with them. Horner shows to be a solid hand in the ring, so he's not a total waste.
  20. MikeCampbell
    Awesome work, Will, putting this back to back with the Embry/DWG angle. He doesn't touch Embry for sheer sleaziness, but after seeing him as a big babyface, he comes off as a pretty good heel.
  21. MikeCampbell
    Embry is 5-7 years ahead of his time. This would look right at home on a 97-99 RAW. Embry is as sleazy as it gets.
  22. MikeCampbell
    This isn't anything special by itself, but the benefit of hindsight and the hot angle with his debut makes this something to get excited about later on in the set.
  23. MikeCampbell
    It's a damn shame that 'Mania was Jake's last hurrah in the WWF, Jake was cutting amazing promos and could have probably worked some great programs. Rehashing Savage/Jake for the title, finally doing a Jake/Warrior program from his original turn both spring to mind.
  24. MikeCampbell
    Sounds like Gene is stirring the pot here, I'm surprised that the Macho Man didn't deck him.
  25. MikeCampbell
    Flair has been showing SCANDALOUS photos of him and Liz. This wardrobe is so unbecoming of Flair that it's almost sacrilegious. Flair may have been booked rather well for someone who wasn't a Vince creation, but it's easy to see how he tore down Flair in other ways. I loved that "two favorite studs" line.
