    I can't describe the look of shame my wife gave me when she saw Onita load up a boat to get to the ring. I am assuming this was a one match show? A spectacle I am glad to have seen. Certainly not a great wrestling match or brawl, but memorable and is a nice fit in an overall yearbook setting.

    Sherri looks weird as hell. Flair cuts a good promo that is ruined by Dave. I don't know why he had to be inserted as they should have known it would not have helped sympathy for Hogan against Flair.

    This along with the Bash at the Beach contract signing were really well done and felt like a big event press conference with good promos by both. Hogan actually does a great job being low key and serious given the magnitude of the stipulations.

    Decent freak out by Candido after the suspension as announced.

    Good promo by Morton but the tiger shirt has to go.

    New Jack is doing a great job bringing up different buzz word sayings to keep things fresh.

    Another good lengthy TV match. I don't quite get the FSU connection because I can't see Bobby Bowden being much of a villain in Memphis but I guess Scott had the name already and needed a tie in.

    Extended highlights of a match that intertwined a lot of elements and was a really good payoff for the months old Gilbert/ Christopher feud. Gilbert does a really good vowing revenge promo in the studio and you got to love the studio crowd chanting Baldie at him.

    We have just been banished from the corny Taker vs. Taker feud and now have these segments to take there place. This honestly looked like something out of 1986.

    Nifty little match with Fujiwara mixing in stiff strikes with resourcefulness to pick up the victory.

    These two together is a perfect pairing and they really played off each other well. I am starting to get invested in ECW for the first time of the year for the company as a whole.

    This cuts off at a weird time and seems awkwardly staged but both Douglas and Cactus do a good job in their roles.

    Borne really could play the crazy clown gimmick well and creepy. Douglas gives another nice promo and I am starting to become a fan of his promos here as they are not as whiny or as long winded as they would become.

    WWF doesn't do the panicked out of control scenes much but it works really well here and builds up Backlund really well.

    I agree that being a southerner and seeing the how the history of WCW and how it played out this match has some added nostalgia. Loss, I kind of am in the same position on FUNK. I think what we have seen from him in 1994 has not bolstered his GOAT case since I think most would site it as a banner year. For instance, if you add in Starrcade 93, I would say Flair had better top end and more consistency overall during this period. That being said, I thought Funk was amazing here. I know for me his act is totally believable because I have an uncle who acts like Funk.. He basically flips merchandise for a living and makes two appearances a year at family functions acting crazy as hell and you are not sure whether he is tweaked on something or just crazy. Funk is that man in this match. The spots in this match are awesome and the structure is amazing with the crowd going crazy for the final 5-10 minutes. Parker really should be commended for looking untrained and only throwing kicks on offense, there was no rope running or anything else to decipher him as a trained wrestler. Dusty coming in with the beatdown at the end was the perfect conclusion and ends one of the greatest matches in WCW history.

    Vader/ Guardian ANgel clips were fun and Vader was bumping really big considering he had 20 more minutes of wrestling after this. Sting/Vader started off weird with some miscommunication but then they started throwing bombs at each other and it became really dramatic. Vader probably does more flying off the ropes than in any other match I can remember. First overtime sort of started the momentum for a minute, but I was invested in the outcome by the end and the powerbomb spot would have been done well if the bell would have rung on time. The first man to leave his feet stip is pretty stupid but actually worked here and the crowd was very invested screeching with Sting teetering off his feet. I have to give Sting credit because his selling was pretty dramatic. Finish was pretty cheap but did at least advance a few potential new storylines. Still would have liked a more conclusive finish to the last high profile match of one of the greatest feuds in WCW history.

    Man the boos for Hogan were pretty bad. Career vs. career was essentially the only way to escalate but really gave away the result for the havoc match.
  18. soup23
    This is just pure shit. I don't know who else they could have put in this place but Duggan was certainly not the answer.

    While I think Cactus over exaggerated greatly how detrimental the commentary in the Cactus/vader match was, he was smart to leave as he has fitted into ECW like a glove. I have always hated the EVAD character and would hate to know he closed the book on me in a promotion.

    What the fuck are the people wanting Hulk to do, see him off in his boat. These promos are just so played.

    Finally some fucking brawling between these teams. I don't know whether I will rank this as a Tupelo Concession stand type match or not but as a spectacle it was tremendous and some of my favorite brawling for the year.
  22. soup23
    Commentary was really good. Match disappointed me a good deal especially since I think this is the longest USWA match we have seen besides the Memphis legend match and maybe the cowards way out match. Working in the bottom rope was nice.

    Russell really tries to elevate the feud but the video of the clips they showed all spliced together do a good job of showing that a lot of cool shit did happen in this feud and it works better in highlight form without some of Gilbert's rambling. Christopher getting a haircut could not have been that much of an embarrassment given how short his hair is anyway.

    There have been a lot of restarts lately in the yearbook. The match again disappointed greatly as it was to scientific for a hate feud. I could understand the Rock N Rolls may have an advantage with wrestling but that is never brought to the attention of the viewer.

    Best MIkey underdog moment so far as it didnt seem quite as circumstantial as before due to him having a competent partner. The post match promo was really good.
