    I've watched a bunch of the 1992 SMW season set, and there are several Wright promos in this vein, and they're all great. I agree with Cox that part of the greatness is that Wright had been such a dastardly, mean, person for so long, and that fans in TN tend to have long memories so they didn't exactly feel sorry for him.

    Like Cornette, this seems rather edgy for 1992, especially the Dusty impression and how a bunch of the boys in the fed are there because they wouldn't kiss ass.

    I didn't get a few of the references he made, but the Magic Johnson and Pee Wee Herman ones were understood. This seems rather edgy stuff for 1992.

    I've said it before, but it's worth repeating. Typical, for the time, WWF goofiness, but not nearly as goofy and corny as Austin and D'Lo Brown doing 1-800-Collect.

    Maybe it's because I'm not very familiar with either of these two, but I just wasn't feeling this. I could recognize cool things, like the near falls toward the end and the insane spot when Salvaje propelled Sevilla over the top, but I just wasn't into this all that much.

    Brad Armstong talks about this match in his ROH Shoot interview, and how much it impressed Hase that the crowd got behind him as much as they did. The Hase/Brad exchanges are definitely the highlight for me, with Hase stiffing Brad with slaps and damn near trying to amputate his leg. This was a fun match, with a really good finishing stretch. Mutoh and Hase wind up looking more lucky when they toss Norton to the floor and quickly finish off Brad.

    Lyger is apparently defending both the IWGP Jr. Title and the WCW Light Heavyweight Title here. This another great match, although different from the Honaga match in that Benoit worked more of a Lyger style than Honaga. They both pulled out some huge bombs, Benoit's dropkick from the top was especially nuts, but Lyger once again pulls it out in a clinch. This is the Benoit that was lacking in Mexico.

    Wow, the crowd seems almost apathetic when Rick tosses Vader and then drops him with the Steinerline. Sting does get a bit of a reaction when he slams Vader, but not nearly what he should have. Tony: Could you imagine a match with these two (Vader and Sting)?

    This was fun for what it was, which was mostly a five minute stall tactic to the big angle. I really dug Savage's axe handle to Jake while he was draped over the guardrail, and Jake's selling was reminiscent of when Savage did that to Steamer. And then, Savage tries to use the bell.

    This was probably the first time in my young mark life that I knew damn well what was going to happen before it did. Like Loss said, this is another prime example of asshole Hogan. Even the booking is kind to him, he gets the lame DQ win, and then gets to still make the superman comeback and run off the heels and stand tall. Sid couldn't even lay him out with the powerbomb to heat up 'Mania?

    I loved the line in Lawler's promo when he talking about Lee and the Moondogs looking at themselves in the mirror, and remarked that the Moondogs probably hadn't shaven a day in their lives. Two weeks in a row that Eddie Marlin almost got creamed by a Moondog chair.

    Embry is such a sleezy looking heel. Between this and the Moondogs, USWA seemed to be red-hot during this time. Now if only we could get a Moondogs and Embry vs. Lawler/Jarrett/DWB match.
  13. MikeCampbell
    I've only seen a little bit of Embry, in some '91 USWA where he was a heel feuding with Dundee. This clip alone is better than all of that combined.
  14. MikeCampbell
    I think this is the first serious promo I've ever seen from Koko. Why didn't he do this in the WWF?
  15. MikeCampbell
    This was typical Flair for him being all fired up, but the promo wasn't anything special, just plugging the upcoming tag match on SNME.
  16. MikeCampbell
    This was pretty awesome, with Lyger bringing his A game in the selling dept, even when he was the one doing offense. Honaga wasn't as flashy a heel as Ohtani would become, but he more than held his own.
  17. MikeCampbell
    This was a pretty good TV match, with Steamboat clearly in charge, but Austin following along nicely. There was a great moment when Madusa tried to interfere, but got thwarted, but Austin took advantage of the distraction to get them from A to B anyway.
  18. MikeCampbell
    This was solid stuff, nobody was bad, but only Hase was outstanding here. Did Chono and Hase team up much? I only know of this, and challenging the Steiners at a Clash.
  19. MikeCampbell
    This was easily the best lucha match on the set so far. I could watch Dos Caras work on the mat all day!
  20. MikeCampbell
    Awesome promo from Cornette, that's pretty much a total shoot.
  21. MikeCampbell
    Another fun and crazy brawl, with a pretty good fired up promo from Austin Idol. I especially liked him going through the laundry list of things that people had tried to do to him at various points in his career.
  22. MikeCampbell
    Holy Crow, quite the racist promo from Coraluzzo "You've been eating that greasy smelly fried Memphis chicken."
  23. MikeCampbell
    This was fucking awesome. Just when it seems like Jarrett and Lawler are going to get one over on the heels, they outsmart them again. This time it's an imposter Richard Lee at ringside getting his ass kicked by Jarrett until the real one shows up.
  24. MikeCampbell
    There's not much to say that wasn't already said in this thread. This is pretty nasty stuff. I wonder if Lee's whistle was the inspiration for Fonzie in ECW?
  25. MikeCampbell
    This was kind of backwards to me, you'd think they'd build up to the promo with Sherri coming out on TV to watch one of Shawn's matches or something. It's just random to have Sherri suddenly declare her love for Shawn.
