[1991-10-12-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler and Billy Joe Travis
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
Crazy in retrospect how many stars were at this celebrity softball game when they were on their way up the ladder. Garth Brooks is the most notable. This was drawn out way too long and I agree that the most vaccumm memorable Memphis visuals are not usually the best ones. Lawler really went off the deep end here. -

We get this same clip again and it makes less sense a second time.- 9 replies

[1991-10-10-JWP] The Scorpion vs Cutie Suzuki (Mask vs Hair)
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
I didn't dig this one too much and felt the lack of urgency throughout prevailed in that opinion. Nothing felt overly important with the stakes being a mask vs. title match. They even made the unmasking anticlimatic and went right on to advertising the next match coming up. Very disappointed overall.- 9 replies

Good six man as these always are but a little sporadic as everyone seemed to have a moment either in peril or dominating and as a result the match felt a little scatterbrained as a whole. I do always enjoy in these matches when one of the main candidates to take the fall doesn't so this has that going for it.

[1991-10-07-WWF-Primetime Wrestling] Roddy Piper in the studio
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
Piper is reigned in for the first part of this evoking back to previous history. Then we get the nasty cam and stuff goes pretty off the rails from there. -
[1991-10-06-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Interview: Jake Roberts
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
The Letterman style top 5 was pretty clever by WWF standards. This promo freaked me the f out as Jake was menacing with Gene and Gene eventually has to dive into the fans when the cobra is let loose. -
[1991-10-05-WWF-Barcelona, ESP] The Undertaker vs Tito Santana
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
I enjoyed this much over the Flair/Tito match. Taker looks dominant and Tito is more resilient. The bodybag stuff was weird and it was odd seeing Tito win even though he did it by cheating with the urn shot so I can excuse the upset. Crowd is molten at the finish. -

Nice red suit from Dust. Pretty basic hype promo from him.- 5 replies

Abby eating the microphone fuzz was a highlight. This barely toed the line between goofy and frightening.- 6 replies

[1991-10-05-WCW-Saturday Night] Halloween Havoc Control Center
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
Solie was awful during this showing no emotion and reading from a paper. The chamber match makes no sense and I was amazed at how many changes to the final card we got from this rundown. The Paul E/Missy skit also made no sense to me.- 6 replies

[1991-10-05-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler vs Eric Embry
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
Great slugfest for the amount of time this lasted capped by a great guitar shot by my boy Billy Joe. Think a steel cage blowoff is appropriate for these two. -
[1991-10-05-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler and Eddie Gilbert announcement
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
These two being cordial with each other felt odd at first. Of course that doesn't last too long as Lawler starts to get more heated and Eddie is right there along with him. Really enjoyed the build to this unification match. -
[1991-10-05-USWA-Memphis TV] Eddie Marlin announcement
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
Marlin means business setting in the office with his neckbrace. He lays out a logical thought to me that Embry can have more damage inflicted on him if he doesn't fire him. -
[1991-10-12-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Bill Dundee & Danny Davis
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
I liked the conclusion of this feud of two intense serious pro wrestlers fighting over a title and spot and then making amends after that has reached its conclusion. -
[1991-10-05-WWF-Superstars] Funeral Parlor: Sid Justice
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
Sid vs. Jake feels like a weird program in hindsight and I wonder where they were in reality with the Savage situation at this point. -
[1991-10-03-WWF-Battle Royal at the Albert Hall] Ric Flair vs Tito Santana
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1991
I didn't like this at all. Flair slapping on the figure four for no reason, giving Tito way too much offense, and trying to cheat his way out of every situation doesn't make him look like much of a threat as the "real world champion". Gorilla doesn't help matters by rubbing it in. Flair even has a big hand full of tights to secure the victory.
