  1. Not the best match but really great to see Lawler in this environment. Savage continues to be a guy were throughout the 90's, I have been mostly unimpressed in ring and he didn't do a whole lot here. Lawler was masterful with the control of the match and set up the ending perfectly. Savage and Bret going after each other for a bit before cooler heads prevailed was interesting. ***
  2. A big bag of fun here. I thought the Bodies were great when they went on offense and really hit that balance well of stooging early but meaning business and being vicious when they go on the offensive. The Bob vs. Cornette stuff was great and really well built to. SMW is really on a roll right now as everything is seemingly coming together. ***3/4
  3. Thank you so much WingedEagle. I don't know if me and Parv have recorded a podcast in the past year that has been convenient time wise for both of us, but hearing the gratitude is worth it every time and I look forward to diving back into WCW with Beach Blast.
  4. Sorry Pete, will try to stay spoiler free. I was conscious of that for All Japan Parv hadn't seen but I do feel that the 10/98 talking point is overpowered to 6/3/94
  5. Thanks Pete (supporter and Al Perez shit talker since day 1)
  6. Glad you are here Drew, welcome.
  7. Thank you Matt and WingedEagle for the comments. I do think Parv would dig the Liger vs. NOAH feud a ton.
  8. This was too brief for my tastes even though I understand that they were in a pretty grueling tag match earlier in the night. I did like the opening with the wild dives and brawling but the ending didn't grab me and before I realized what was going on, the match was over. I had actually pegged this as when Shocker lost his hood so I was surprised. ***
  9. First fall was awesome with intense brawling all around. Next two falls certainly couldn't match up to that level and sputtered out until the finish which I thought was very cleverly done. This is turning out to be a really fun show for CMLL. ***3/4
  10. Awesome match full of spots and action. I think having Virus in these types of matches is great to make them reach the next level because he is able to bring his tremendous wrestling to the table which helps offset some of the spottiness of the match around him. THis is essentially all you could ask for in a high-octane multi-man match in the middle of a card. ****
  11. Looks like around 2:15:00 is the end of the break.
  12. Between the Sheets #8: September 8-14, 1994 (00:00:00 - 03:41:02)
  13. Sent you a PM of the list so far Supreme, Once the second part drops, we will post the entire list somewhere.
  14. Loved the guy marking out sitting next to Ted. Really good stuff.
  15. I can't be bothered with the Sandman drama and thematch surrounding it was not good so yeah, this didn't do a whole lot for me. Pitbull winning was a nice feel good moment. **
  16. Not the type of match I expected as it had way more brawling. This was enjoyable enough and I don't want to keep beating a dead horse, but I really do groan more when ECW pops up on my screen than any other promotion in going through this year. **1/2
  17. This was incredible. I don't know if I have seen any better foot and leg work from a shoot style match in history and I thought it was incredibly clever that once I thought Han was done for sure, he had the resourcefulness to lock on that armbar that looked like he was going to break Kohasaka's arm and pick up the victory. Amazing 15 minutes of grappling. ****1/2
  18. Surprised Douglas and ECW budget was able to have that limo there. Did Joel Gertner pick up the BWO? D-Von is on the outs with the DUdley's currently and a lot of stars from the past are mentioned.
  19. Nothing of consequence but still entertaining given the edge and production and overall freshness still of these.
  20. Interesting dynamic as it takes some heat off of the Horseman vs. NWO proper but works because we now get this unholy WCW alliance teaming up. Even Mongo and Benoit are good here in their roles relinquishing their spots.
  21. Fun match that little to no reaction coming out and they got the crowd behind them by the end. Regals transitions are so smooth and it feels like he is leading Dean to really develop the character he has of being the ice man and the man of 1000 holds. **3/4
  22. Arn is really in a great era of his promos. This was unfortunate as they had to get their second hour pyro off and cut Flair off.
  23. That jacket is ridiculously gaudy and expensive and the commercial was atrocious. Shawn's in ring character of showing how tough he is isn't really matching these vignettes.
  24. Awful stuff and really feels like the last holdover to some degree for the cheesy characters of the 90's before the harder edged ones started to filter in (Val Venis).
