Ross saying this match was taped before hand is one out but damn GAB was 3 weeks ago. I didn't think the match was special enough for me to have to do all the leg work in deciding where everyone was aligned at this point in time. I also don't dig the Yellow Dog stuff at all. -
I liked this well enough but it felt inconsequential and Scott didn't show a whole lot besides great fire. On the lower end of the spectrum of the shootstyle matches that have made the yearbooks.

I don't even know what that tall wood thing was supposed to be. Looked kind of like a ticket booth. This has a grainy feel to it and is from a distance so you see a lot of plunder being used but don't get the intense close ups. The action was definitely fun but preventive based on the footage available. MOrrell going rogue at the end also didn't make sense to me.

Vader and bam Bam are a really good team that work as monsters but give the opponents enough offense to make them look credible. KNowing what is to come in the G-1, I was a little weary of Muto/Chono losing here but as a way to get over Vader/Bam Bam as a tag it was effective. The finish is especially hot and all of the power moves by Vader looked great. Fun stuff heading into an exciting month for NJPW.

This yellow dog angle wont die. I just don't like that we have all sorts of people wanting to take off the mask. I understand a bounty situation calls for that but I get the feeling that no end game is in sight.

Steiners are stripped of the belts. WCW is a complete mess right now. Rule reader Solie was a bit much.

I liked this as an aftermath promo for the GAB. Race paired with Luger is one I like.
-
Good to see the Enforcers finally teamed up as they are on the short list of my favorite short run tag teams and could have had a great three year run.

The music is ridiculous but Pillman does at least look different and wrestle a little different to try to get the gimmick over. Austin has looked a little more uncertain so far in his early WCW tenure than he did at the end of his USWA run. The match was fan but meandered too much and there was a lack of focus from Austin. INterested to see if the Havoc match is the first time Steve puts it together for the first time in WCW.

I was disappointed in this and then it just abruptly ends. Dundee has been ok in this feud but I don't think he has been as good as he was early in the year with Jaime.

If I was Kim, this was a proposal you have to doll up when the kids ask. Good grief man, put on a polo or something. The pull apart brawl was good stuff and Neighbors wailing away on Tojo was a definite highlight.

This was Memphis corny but well done for what it was.

I would rank their series thus far: 1. October 2013 2. February 2012 3. April 2013 4. August 2013 5. June 2012 6. January 2013 Been thinking about digging into some 2006-2010 Tanahashi since he seems topical and I havent revisited most of that stuff since it occurred.

Tickets are still on sale a month out. Gene saying from nuptials to napalm without skipping a beat is amazing journalistic work. We get some more analogies about Hogan relating everything to war while Warrior does some mannerisms I don' even know how to describe. They are putting Hart over as a viable challenger and Gene calls him a mechanic which I dont know what that means but I guess its a testament on his technical ability. Dibiase and Virgil each give good but generic promos. Overall the card is shaping well besides the match made in hell for me.

Jake wearing some darker tights is a nice touch. Bearer is really good in this setting and the theme of the parlor really fits the theme. Roberts is talking about Lucifer himself and it has Vince hmmm'g in the announce booth. Cant wait to watch this unfold.

This was fucking awful. Didn't make sense and Kiern looked like he was counting his money right when someone yelled cut.
-
I really wanted this to be great and it just didn't quite make it. The Brazo's were more serious but the match overall didn't hold my attention at time. The third fall had the more traditional spots but did include a great dive train so kudos for that. Very good match but there was a great match in there fighting to get out and it just never did.
-
I wasnt too crazy about this also and am still looking for that blow away death match from 1997. The action here was ok and sustainable throughout the amount of time given but it felt very much like a been here seen that situation especially with Onita winning at the end.
-
Stevie and Raven are tag partners and Stevie gets a pin on the world champion which is an advancement. Rest of the match was nothing special.
-
Great analysis of the main event, I do wonder how banged up Sting was here and they feel sort of handcuffed in that something had to give after the Luger non-finishes. Thanks for the comments as always Brad.

Just looked Sonya up on google, gotta love early 90's cable talk shows. Interesting take on the Southern Boys tag. I am always intrigued by people that place a good emphasis on positioning on the card and the placement of the combatants. It is not something I usually implore but I fully admit that my top end matches in history are all main events so it is a viewpoint I can see. Always love your thoughts on the episodes, makes any time commitment doing the show worthwhile.

Crush is a great answer. I'm tempted to say the Warlord but damn if he isnt really good in that 1/15/90 Rockers tag and I have a soft spot for the Davey Boy feud.
-
I would be interested Rich if you agree with the top five big match worker claim? Apologies if you mentioned it on the podcast, but I know you have really enjoyed the New Japan stuff this year so I was wondering where Tanahashi compares for you historically.

1. Let me think about it although I'm inclined to say that no one should get in based on workrate alone. This kills two birds with one stone (less subjective opinion weight and NO BENOIT). I also am conflicted on the non wrestler portion. 2. I would limit this to around 10-20 guys 3. The biggest no brainers in wrestling history (Londos, Rock, Santo, Hogan, Flair, Bruno) etc. 4. I would keep the 10-20 added per year.
