    Dundee was all sorts of fired up for this programs and cuts another great promo here.

    Match was ok but mainly featured good bumping by the Express and was short. Beatdown was good from execution standpoint but it is weird to see the LOD this beaten down especially compared to the stuff I am watching from Crockett right now. Show going off the air with beatdown ensuing seems weird for WWF>

    Build for Survivor Series has not been great and we are less than 3 weeks away. Demo's new masks look weird. This was pretty stock promos from all involved.

    So awesome to have a full length match with this feud so hot and it didn't disappoint. Some great punches, some great schtick, and a satisfying finish.

    No words can describe this. Must be seen.

    Everybody knows who I am. This was brutal.

    Weird feud at this stage. Nikitas T Shirt looked awful.

    Loss description of this match may be one of my favorite descriptions of all time for a match. I thought this was a good solid overcoming the odds type match for Onita and I agree that the evolution of him and the company as a whole has been fun to watch with the snippets we have seen.

    I didn't like this at all and the amounts seemed ridiculous far fetched. Also shouldn't the promoter decide who Doom has to face? I like Flair's hair idea much better.

    I have total blanked on this happening. Decent segment.

    I didn't like this as much as the Gilbert turn because Danny looked like sort of a goof with how suspicious Ken Wayne had been acting. Must be honest and say Im not enthused that the DWG has a new feud either. They really always tried to pair her with someone.

    Pretty deep locker room. Gaylord is indeed the highlight of the background eating a whole cake by himself and mugging. Eddie does a great celebration party and Marlin is outraged. I also enjoyed the names they dropped in as contenders. Beatdown of Brickhouse was well done and set things up for later on in the show. Super fun segment all around.

    Eddie as the enforcer is always great. Good promo from Bill.

    I really liked this match. Great way of elevating Maggs and putting some mystique on where the angle is headed. Lawler promo selling the disappointment was also done well. Clips looked great from MSC. USWA has been great this year.

    I may have been tired but I was pretty disappointed in this match. I know the story is that Dibiase is overconfident but why even with the announcer saying 8 minutes have expired is he still mugging for the crowd. The action was decent I was just hoping for more and I love Dustin comebacks.
  16. soup23
    This was way over the top but worked pretty well for me. Love selling the neck was really well done.
  17. soup23
    Full tilt action with a great finish. Wonderful match that showcased all four guys beautifully. NOthing was really complex but I really liked some of the desperation tags in this match.
  18. soup23
    Real good, crisp spotfest. I enjoyed the August match more because of the wrestling in the beginning and overall story but as a go, go, go match, this was done well and we see Liger busting out the shooting star press again.
  19. soup23
    I liked this also a real good deal. Choshu gets a powerful win and has another amazing comeback. Hashimoto looks strong by dominating around 80% of the match. His spinning kicks also looked really deadly in this match.
  20. soup23
    This was my favorite match of the three and a great match overall. Awesome series that I was shocked to discover how good the matches still were.

    Only argument I can see being made for Sting will bring in too many other intangibles like how recognizable he was and how cool his 1997 run was and the Starrcade buyrate. I am biased towards Sting naturally (honestly my third favorite wrestler as a kid behind Hogan and Jake). Sting had great matches vs. Vader, some good matches vs. Flair, and then a sprinkling of other good stuff like the Cactus match, the DDP 1999 match, etc. Luger had some great matches with Flair, some great tag matches w/ Windham vs. Arn/Tully and then a fairly wide sample of other good stuff vs. Windham, Steamboat, Rich, etc.

    If you hate Brother Love Johnny, buckle your seatbelt because there is a ton more to come. Brother Love was the premiere angle advancing vehicle for 1990 WWF. I have always sort of liked him and think he can add to a segment like the stuff with Martel/Jake and the Sgt. Slaughter bit.

    The Rockers

    soup23 replied to soup23's topic in The Microscope

    The Rockers vs. Hart Foundation (Ft. Wayne 10/30/90) This match will break up the chronological track I had been running down up to this point but this match is not on my Rockers compilation. This match also has a few unique factors going for it. 1. It is 2 out of 3 falls 2. It was taped for SNME that never occurred 3. The version I saw had no commentary 4. In the 2nd fall, the top rope breaks off on one side of the ring 5. The crowd is awful and barely cheers 6. It is the match of the phantom title change for the Rockers Mixing in all of these mitigating circumstances, I thought this was a fabulous match. This thread is looking back at the Rockers but I would be remiss to not take a moment to talk about how great Bret Hart was in the first two falls of this match. I have always really liked Bret in face vs. face matches in that he works the match slightly different but still displays aggression towards his opponent. No hugging in the middle of the ring MMA bullshit when Bret wrestles another face. This work was really on display in the first fall and the second fall features him keeping everything together when the rope breaks and adapting some of his signature spots. He also kind of botches the ending to this match but overall a great performance for him. I especially enjoyed the first two falls of this match. It being face vs. face, there is less emphasis on many of the traditional tag moments I have seen in the Rockers matches so far. We also got quite a bit more mat wrestling than is customary. Anvil was used as a powerhouse effectively and both Shawn and Marty did a good job trying their best to avoid his powerful shots. The work with the ring rope breaking was creative and gritty. The ending while kind of looking bad is a good feel good moment in Rockers history. Right now this is neck and neck with the POP match as my favorite Rockers match.

    This disc has been full of great tag matches and I think this is my favorite. Great match with a neat structure. The crowd was terrible.

    I really like early IWA-MS Necro from 2001-2003 era. He had some good battle with Ian Rotten. The drunken death match vs. Corporal Robinson from the TPI in 2002 is one of those "it could only happen in pro wrestling" things. Another match I would highly recommend is vs. Toby Klein at the KOTDM 2004.
