[1994-10-30-AAA-Sin Limite] Blue Panther vs El Mariachi
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1994
Lucha matches are tough to describe in written format sometimes but I was in awe watching a lot of this and the matwork and transitions were spectacular. So far my lucha MOTY.- 11 replies

Nash was my MVP in this match and the selling of the superkick really felt like the first time that move was gotten over as an elite finisher. The storyline of the match was well presented and Razor was really good FIP. Vince is at his most annoying here missing move names constantly and yelling 1 - 2 - he got him no he didn't for every nearfall in the last five minutes. Great match overall.

[1994-10-29-WCW-Saturday Night] Sting and Kevin Sullivan

This seemed really heatless and aimless. Dave in a big angle just does not work and you don't really buy Stings brotherhood with Hulk.- 7 replies

[1994-10-29-WCW-Saturday Night] AAA When Worlds Collide Control Center
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1994
I never understood what was trying to be accomplished for this PPV but the card was great anyway. -
Good pull apart brawl that displays the hatred and Thanksgiving Thunder feels like it will be a great show.

Cornette has his fire back from earlier in the year and was great here running down Wright. Abdullah coming in felt like a big deal and they did a great job hyping up his undefeated streak.

[1994-10-29-USWA-TV] Interview: Buddy Landell / Buddy Landell vs Tommy Rich
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1994
They really tried to have an episodic feeling to this episode and this was ok but felt really hokey in spots. It seems hard to believe that all security guards will slack on their job and allow Gilbert to come back in. -
[1994-10-29-USWA-TV] Eddie Marlin and Scott Bowden / Sid and children
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1994
Russell doing the hard sell for a match makes me want to hop in a time machine and watch it live. Eddie Marlin comes and lay down the law. Sid segment was humorous but more pointless than the stuff we have been seeing from him. -
Up to the finish, I thought this was pretty great. Flair and Hogan both were cheered and felt like huge stars. The cage match they wrestler reaped of desperation and awesome spots and Flair controlled the offense for a great deal. The interference spots were annoying but did have a chaotic nature and Sherri bumped like crazy. The finish is fine but then Flair just leaves and we get the big Dungeon angle which seems real deflated and cheap after what should have been about the retirement of one of the biggest wrestlers in history. Really big match that had an epic feel but left a horrible taste in your mouth at the ending image.

[1994-10-23-WCW-Halloween Havoc] Arn Anderson vs Dustin Rhodes
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1994
Really good southern style match and there was still juice left in Dustin vs. Parker's charges. Arn was really good in this match as a wily veteran and Dustin took some crazy bumps including his flying bump to the floor.- 9 replies

Cornette had seemed in some ways lost in the shuffle since the Bodies left, but this was a great angle to thrust him back into the spotlight. DWB and Ron Wright can cut some great revenge promos.

[1994-10-22-SMW-TV] Rock & Roll Express and The Gangstas

The video of the attack on the Gangsters was really well done and the feud has really carried SMW since Jake left.- 7 replies

[1994-10-22-USWA-TV] PG-13 vs The Phantoms / The Undertaker vs Sid
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1994
The mid south crowd looked huge for the Taker match. I thought Taker actually looked real bad in the clips we saw and Sid!? was carrying the action. Spellbinder looked like he didn't belong at all. -
[1994-10-22-AJW-Tag League The Best] Manami Toyota vs Takako Inoue
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1994
Toyota was smooth again in this match and no big botches occurred. Inoue really disappointed me as I was hoping for significant heeling and didn't get it. Good match overall but underachieved.- 7 replies

[1994-10-22-AJPW-October Giant Series] Steve Williams vs Toshiaki Kawada
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in October 1994
Liked this more than everyone it seems. Tad too long but I thought the matwork in the beginning was really interesting in that everything looked painful and a lot being done was unconventional. Williams gaining the advantage and using great power moves like launching Kawada into the ropes was a nice sequence. the ending was real dramatic and the ending kicks was the perfect knockout moves to beat Doc. Great match overall.- 11 replies

Thanks for the info Ricky, Slaughters timeline gets me so confused.
-
Just was able to listen to this and it made me sad about how few guys they really are nowadays on the indy scene that interest me. Living in Georgia, I have seen my share of chip day and I think he can be hit or miss depending on the show. Just seemed like in 2001 -2003 you had so many interesting characters out there (punk, Cabana, Danielson, Low Ki, Homicide, Super Dragon, Necro) and now I would not put anyone on that level.

No worries Al, sure we will have you on in the future.

I am still debating my feelings for the main event. I didn't love the match near as much as I thought I would. It really left me cold for the ending and the most memorable things going forward will the be the saves into the cage and Slaughter's dive.

Thanks Dave, I am suffering from Wrestling Culture withdrawls.

Great match but I may not be as high on it as everyone else due to the botched finish and I thought at times this resulted too much into my move, your move at the end. FInish felt like a big moment for Ohtani.
