[1994-03-16-WCW-Munich, GER] Ric Flair & Steven Regal vs Sting & Ricky Steamboat
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
Real good tag match with pairings that are familiar but yet different. The crowd was hot and everyone played their role well. -
Didn't know footage of this exists. Crazy that Cactus continued after the incident and they did a good job of ending it rather quickly.

Good match but would have really benefited from being a 30 minute match. In the beginning with the quick fall and RNR controlling I just figured they were stretching out the southern tag formula of the hot beginning to fit an hour long match, but RNR just kept controlling the match and the Bodies didn't really get the upper hand until the last 8 seconds. Not a great match to build to the bluegrass brawl even though the heels were triumphant at the end.

[1994-03-12-WCW-Saturday Night] Steve Austin vs Ricky Steamboat
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
Austin has been a great bumper in all of his matches this year but this had the structure and pace to take this match tot he next level. Finish is dumb as hell but at least it does set up Flair/Steamboat in a good way of old enemies turned friends with understated resentment for each other.- 16 replies

It just seemed funny that they showed Brutus and showed Shockmaster in costume next to the guy that was his body double like they were about to shoot a scene and Shockmaster decided to do his own stunts but Sting didn't, I probably read something into it that didn't exist I just found it amusing that Hogan mentioned it.

[1994-03-12-WCW-Saturday Night] Nasty Boys, Kevin Sullivan and The Equalizer
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
The fireball took me by surprise and I like how it was the Nasty's they used in this spot because they have portrayed them up to this point to be crazy and reckless so them retreating and running away was a nice touch. EVAD is pretty bad on the promo but Sullivan is great here.- 6 replies

Real disjointed mess but did get nostalgic seeing the Grand Floridan hotel in the background (that was where we stayed on our honeymoon). Hogan I though took a subtle dig at Sting by saying he had a body double for stunts while showing him, Brutus, and Shockmaster like they do all their own stunts. Really bad first appearance if this was his debut.

Flair did look here like some of the wind had been taken out of his sails, it is a shame because he was incredible in the first two months of the year.

Dirty White Girl has always been good in doses either looking ratty and making small attacks but in either a feature segment or here in commentary she struggles. I also wonder how many times in the history of wrestling she got her shirt ripped off in angles.

[1994-03-12-SMW-TV] Down and Dirty: Rock & Roll Express
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
Morton was great here and good for Gibson to know by this time what works for building the heat the best is for him to shut up and watch Ricky do his thing. They have gotten me more amped for the Bluegrass Brawl match more than any other match on the yearbook so far. -
My worst match of the year so far on the yearbook. Sherri has a real random 1994 being in ECW, AAA, and later on with Flair in the end of the year. Sagrada's dive off the top was nuts but I hated how Jake popped right up and then towered over him. The work between Konnan and Jake was real slow and plodding but the heat and antics outside made this decent to watch.

After reading Loss and Exposer's comments, I was pessimistic about this match. I don't think I liked it quite as much as they did but it was still really awesome and I have it in my top 3 for the year so far. My favorite spot was the surfboard spot with Mascarita constantly raising up out of the pin attempts. The timing here was really well done and the match did have a heavyweight style clash and was worked accordingly. This was a serious match so no comedy or other unnecessary factors where mixed in because they are minis. This was a great site to see and is my favorite minis match of all time.

Really fun lucha 6 man, I knew Rey was good early on so seeing his performance was not surprising however I was really impressed with both Winners and Heavy Metal as I had been lukewarm on them before but thought they were real good here. The throwing of Heavy Metal into the 4th row was crazy and I liked how the first fall built to the finish. Really fun 25 minutes.

Loss you fit like a glove in the podcast format and really was able to get across your opinions on 1996 after watching the set as a whole. I loved this show and think these are the perfect supplement to each yearbook.

This match was as memphis as BBQ but went on for too long and took to long to really start rolling due to the weird 10 man elimination rules. Everyone still looked relatively good and Funk was great as always. Overall a slight disappointment but real glad I got to see it as it felt in some ones the final stand of glory days of the 1980's

[1994-03-07-USWA-Monday Night Memories] Music Video: Monday Night Memories
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in March 1994
Cool video and definitely a song that sounds like something Jimmy Hart would write. -
Was this ceremony legit? I really couldn't tell, and having Strongbow there seemed odd given his true heritage. Cool segment nonetheless.

[1994-03-06-WCW-Main Event] Steve Austin vs Brian Pillman

Pretty good match with good Austin bumping again. Finish was fairly stupid and didn't help Pillman.- 5 replies

Dr. Tom is winning me over slowly but surely as I agree with Loss that he looked great here. Tracy was bumping all over the place also. I loved how Del Ray reached for his back when Tracy hit a move on Tom's back. The ending was a nice touch of getting one over on the heels but I hope we do get one more heel beatdown before the blowoff. Overall this was a great episode of Smokey Mountain TV.
