    I don't mind Harvey with Sid. Jimmy Hart already had a full stable, Heenan and Slick were phased out, and Tolos was gone. That leaves Fuji, Genius, or bringing in someone new. This was a fun little squash to help build up Sid.

    Great Flair promo, you could tell Flair was absolutely loving this angle.

    I think my friend Larry put it best on twitter RE: ROH's apology for the iPPV. Every time they issue one, they never really take responsibility for the problem.

    This wasn't bad or anything, but it doesn't compare favorably to Hansen/Misawa.
  5. MikeCampbell
    This was really good stuff. Misawa's dominance and aggression shows that he clearly has the onions to beat Hansen. It helps that Hansen is more than willing to sell his ass off for Misawa, and make him look that much better. The finish looks more like a fluke than anything else, especially with Misawa having already gotten a rope break after Hansen's lariat.

    I loved this. Just a heated, out of control, fight. I liked Loss comparing it to the trios after Santo's turn. Konnan looked like such a tool with that hair. I thought the two UWA trios matches from Feb were better overall matches, but this still scores major points.

    Greg Valentine vs. Tito Santana from MSG 10/22/84. Tito's first rematch after losing the IC Title, and going under the knife, and he came ready to throw down. Tito chucks a chair and Valentine taps a gusher.

    With how unmotivated and lazy the facepaint and mist made him, I'm thankful that he only trotted it out on occasion. Vader and Bigelow are the ultimate gaijin monster heel tag team.

    This just didn't click the way I expected Hashimoto vs. Pre Neck Injury Chono. It wasn't bad, and had some fun moments, but it's rather forgettable.

    This was an interesting, albeit short, segment. I liked that Pedicino acknowledged how hated Tojo was before commenting that he was still a human being.

    Wow, I really liked this. Both of these two were fighting like they had something to prove. This isn't at all what you'd expect from the opening match between the two green horns. I thought the German suplex spot was strange, since Albright was killing people with suplexes, but in this match a German wasn't even able to soften up someone enough for an armlock.

    This was a boatload of fun, it was like the previous trios match from Mexico, only Rambo added more to the match than Lozansky. Casas and Los Cowboys have easily been the standout workers for me on this set.
  13. MikeCampbell
    The match wasn't anything special, but the reaction to Sting's win was awesome, showing that was definitely interest in seeing Sting as champion.

    The heat for Rude was absolutely insane. This was excellent stuff, as hate filled as you'd expect after the angle at the Clash, and their selling was great. Rude couldn't even use his arm to do his pose.

    Count me in with those who think this is excellent, but overrated. The Dustin/Austin portion kills it for me, despite Dustin's willingness to bump like a madman for Austin's lariats, but they were both really green compared to their partners so it's not a surprise that they fall short compared to their much more experienced partners. This was exactly the sort of intense and hateful brawl needed to keep this whole feud going toward War Games.

    This isn't great, but it's good. Like was already said, this was ahead of its time in the U.S. but doesn't hold a candle to what was going on in Mexico and Japan during the same time frame. Pillman's dropkick to Lyger while he was in the air was the most direct hit I've EVER seen someone make doing that spot.
  17. MikeCampbell
    Ron Wright's whole schtick is one of the better part of the early days of SMW.
  18. MikeCampbell
    Lawler and Jarrett's gear is hideous! This was fun, like this whole feud has been, but this is a case of less is more. Too many people involved, although it was necessary for the babyfaces to finally get one up on the Moondogs. Richard Lee's promo afterwards was good too.
  19. MikeCampbell
    Holy Crow, this was fun. Thanks to Embry, this feud has been almost as fun as the Moondog stuff. Too bad that Embry never made it to the big two.
  20. MikeCampbell
    Heel Jake was just so fucking great, he should have been turned back heel at least a couple of years before the WWF finally did it in '91. Jake is phenomenal here.
  21. MikeCampbell
    Considering the participants, this was actually disappointing to me, even thought it's clearly a good match. They got a little too into the bomb throwing at the end for my taste. Maybe seeing a complete version will help, I dunno.
  22. MikeCampbell
    The footage is pretty rough, compared to the other stuff on here, but this is a fun outing. I especially liked that in addition to the typical spot where the heel is almost out and the babyface pulls him back up and in, that Flair also got to do that to Piper. The finish was fun with Flair outsmarting himself to lose.
  23. MikeCampbell
    You can scrap that Kawada/Tenzan match, they had one in NJPW that was much better earlier in the year. Tenzan/Kojima vs. Doc/Hines from April wouldn't be a bad inclusion.
  24. MikeCampbell
    This is pretty much a clinic on the fun aspects of shoot style. The matwork is great, especially their counters, and Fujiwara's leg kicks are positively sick.
  25. MikeCampbell
    This was crazy amounts of fun, everything just hit on all cylinders and nobody did anything to drag it down. The more of this set I watch, specifically the Dangerous Alliance stuff, the more I think that 1992 is the year for great multiman matches.
