Another great show that got me pumped for the set. Will brought the opinions and venom, Kris brought history and perspective, Dylan brought sound arguments, and Dave directed traffic and inserted his trademark inappropriate jokes.
-
I prefer the Spring Stampede match but this was great also. I thought this lost a little steam at the end and that the overall selling was less than the SS match. Flair did better working brawling spots into this. Crowd was pretty terrible even in the ending run. Overall I think both of these matches are good bookends on their 1989 feud.
-
I was not as crazy about this as everyone else. The history lesson was ok but seemed sort of vague in the description. The fire Larry showed afterwards was better.
-
I love worker body part matches with a great payoff and this delivered in spades. Jake was amazing in the psychology of this match. Outsmarting DWB without making him look like a complete idiot just too prideful for his own good. -
Good promo by Tully even though it looks like something on USWA or SMW. Love the 4 horseman teases and wish they would have went somewhere.
-
Yeah I don't know if there was stuff played up that we didn't see with Gilbert proving loyalty but the way it worked, Lawler looked stupid and Jarrett looks even worse turning in a week. Have mixed emotions like Loss, the work is fine and everyone plays their role well, but it was too quick and felt desperate. I also thought that the Dream Machine/ Lawler feud was fine and actually felt pretty fresh in Memphis as does Doug vs. Christopher so as much as I like Lawler and Eddie it just feels so rehashed.

Wrestling in 1994 was really desperate to keep up with the times Law and Order style. I loved how Gilbert's expression changed after the kendo shot. Overall I think this is a good semi main angle.

This was no Bird/Jordan McDonalds commercial let me tell you.
-
Undertaker wanted to take a dip in the pool.
-
Yeah the Owen reasoning here was suspect but the Diesel portion was well and officially kick starts their feud for KOTR.
-
Yeah I could have lived without these happening.
-
Paul E does well at backing down and looking scared.
-
Thought both Funk and Arn were there most consistent here and stayed focused on the match up. Real good promo
-
Good job of rehabilitating Earthquake to give him one more semi important feud with Yoko.
-
Disappointing match sprinkled with some cool moments. It was nice to see Savage heel it up.
-
I have enjoyed Flair in the Steamboat series since the emphasis on Hogan got downplayed. Wonder if they had more plans for the horseman to combat Hogan.
-
Clips of the title switch along with some weird dramatic music.
-
May have spoken to soon about Cornette because every time Jake talks and cuts a promo like this I get chills. Wonderful promo from him.
-
Really good training video where Cornette recognized Bruisers strengths (power) and hid his weaknesses (mic work). Cornette has been on fire so far this year and is my #1 promo man due to everyone else slipping at some point (Flair, Owen to an extent)
-
Cool beatdown for Jarrett but it did go on forever. Christopher ring post show was a highlight in the later stages of this.
-
Very good shoot style match, I always have a hard time describing these matches because of the jockeying for position but I do think in many ways it is a style that is pretty easy to see what is a good representation and bad representation and this clearly aired on the side of good.
-
Brilliant way of using the cage to turn the momentum in the match. The only time that it didn't completely turn the time was when Tenryu in the end got frustrated and threw Onita in it basically sealing the match for him. Great match that if it featured less charismatic competitors would have been pretty bad but with these two, it worked masterfully.
-
Much better than the previous promo with Paul E doing a good job conveying the history.
-
I was disappointed in this interview as both guys didn't seem to have the fire or energy I expect.
-
pretty awful angle and Styles is so annoying with the faces he makes on the Sandman interview.
