[1994-11-20-AJW-Big Egg Universe] Manami Toyota vs Aja Kong
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1994
This match didn't reach the emotional peak of some of the top end joshi this year but execution wise, this was fabulous and really does play out like the type of match Meltzer would love. This had great spots but also had better than average selling for a "drop bombs" type match. Ending run was dramatic and Toyota and Kong both played their roles so well.- 9 replies

[1994-11-20-AJW-Big Egg Universe] Yumiko Hotta vs Combat Toyoda
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1994
I thought this was very good and stiff. It is not something that will make my top 100 or anything but as far as execution of a match, I thought for example it was much more sucessful than the Hart tag on Raw. Hotta has been really good this year and is featured in 3 of my top 50 matches.- 12 replies

[1994-11-19-NWA-World Title Tournament] Chris Candido vs Tracy Smothers
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1994
I thought this was very good and felt like a relatively big moment for Candido. Candido was bumping well and Tracy showed some great fire.- 7 replies

[1994-11-19-NWA-World Title Tournament] Eddie Gilbert vs Tracy Smothers
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1994
Tough match to rate due to camera work. MOst of what we saw looked fun but I feel like we can't get a true accurate vibe on how good the match really was.- 6 replies

[1994-11-19-NWA-World Title Tournament] Al Snow vs Chris Candido

I couldn't get into this very much. Seemed like a pretty basic generic juniors style match to me.- 6 replies

Cornette and Bob go into great hype job about Thanksgiving Thunder in a fun segment showing the backstory.

I hate this angle and from the sounds of the crowd, they agree.

[1994-11-16-WCW-Clash of the Champions XXIX] Vader vs Dustin Rhodes
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1994
Excellent match. Vader looked like a monster. Dustin timed his comebacks amazingly and looked strong in defeat. Too short to reach upper echelon of matches for year but one of the most fun matches of the year.- 10 replies

[1994-11-15-ECW-TV] Cactus Jack & Mikey Whipwreck vs Public Enemy
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1994
Really nice elbow drop as we join this and Public Enemy regain the titles. The promo Cactus does is fine but not one of the best we have seen.- 5 replies

[1994-11-12-USWA-TV] Interview: Tommy Rich & Eddie Gilbert
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1994
Seeing Eddie Gilbert in the title got me confused. Nice to see Dundee back and it is intriguing to try to figure out where he will end up. -
[1994-11-12-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Jim Cornette, Yokozuna & Mr. Fuji
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1994
Yoko does the scared look real well and it is nice to see him leading up to this match since this really was the last huge profile match of his run. -
Finally an angle with the Sandman here that delivers. Sandman played his role well and I loved him lighting a cigarette at every point Woman makes in the promo.

[1994-11-07-WWF-Raw] Vince McMahon announcement / King's Court: 1-2-3 Kid
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1994
Vince announcement on Savage was a shocking classy move that I did not expect King's court was ok but Backlund looks better going into a title defense snapping and putting people in the chicken wing.- 13 replies

[1994-11-07-WWF-Raw] Bret Hart & Davey Boy Smith vs Owen Hart & Jim Neidhart
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in November 1994
Clunky match and the heat had really diminished for all the major players. For this to be Bret's signature run with the belt, he sure does not look like the ace of a company sometimes. -
Vader really seems like the most interesting character in WCW with Flair gone.

None of these segments were the best we have seen in the feuds, but all were good advancements for the feuds.

I didn't love this that much. I felt the crowd never bought Santo being in true danger as much as they tried and the ending of the third fall was too abrupt with Santo just taking so much punishment and seemingly lucky to roll up Eddy. Throw in a few botches and this falls below classic match status for me. Very good to great match but I was pretty disappointed watching it back in retrospect.

[1994-10-29-NWC] Cactus Jack vs Sabu (Falls Count Anywhere)
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1994
Crazy ass brawl that conveys an out of control nature and intensity missing from all the ECW stuff we have seen so far this year. The camerawork while annoying that we miss so much does work in the confines of the match. All spots were hit cleanly and the legdrop on the hung Cactus looked especially awesome.
