[1996-01-22-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels and Jim Cornette
BruiserBrody replied to Loss's topic in January 1996
I rolled my eyes when Shawn leaned on Vince's shoulder and left Vince to cut a promo on Cornette. -
A long stretch early in the Rumble sees no viable babyfaces in the ring and so the crowd turns Vader face because he's kicking everyone's ass. Owen and Shawn ignore each other despite coming in back to back on the heels of the concussion angle. They even team up to beat on Barry Horowitz. All the special attractions lasted 3 mins or less except Dory jr. who they wanted to use as a talent broker for All Japan guys. Ahmed and Razor should have been entered, if only to help the roster depth.

When Jack Doan was powerbombed, my mouth fell open and I let out an audible "Holy Shit!" at its stiffness. Tremendous angle.

I was bored out of my mind watching this. Stevie Ray's offense was insomnia inducing.- 11 replies

[1996-01-21-WWF-Royal Rumble] Goldust vs Razor Ramon
BruiserBrody replied to Loss's topic in January 1996
Match wasn't great but Dustin's sexual spots made for a unique viewing. The Kid's interference is ignored by Gorilla Monsoon an hour after he over turned HHH's win over Duke Drose for cheating. -
http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/wrestle-war-90-wild-thing/#.U5RYHSgm-Sr Lex Luger tries to once again wrest the World title from Ric Flair, The Steiners compete against Arn and Ole Anderson, Norman the Lunatic clashes with Cactus Jack, The Rock and Roll Express face old rivals The Midnight Express, The Road Warriors go to war with the Sky Scrapers, and Brian Pillman and Tom Zenk defend the US tag titles against Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin Are these the CHV matches that played back to back and had almost all the same spots?

The Goldust interview with Vince earlier is quite the time capsule. Vince says most men are homophobic, GD talks about Vince's erection and Lawler uses the word "queer".

[1996-01-08-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels Press Conference
BruiserBrody replied to Loss's topic in January 1996
The press "applauding" for Shawn made my eyes roll. -
[1996-01-08-WWF-Raw] Brother Love: Ted DiBiase & The Ringmaster
BruiserBrody replied to Loss's topic in January 1996
I was amused by Vince's "We all know who this is" talk and yet not calling him Steve Austin. -
Eric taking tons of shots at the WWF in response to this skit a week earlier made me smile as I felt they really got under his skin. I didn't find these over done at the time, but I can see the argument now.

I'm a Hogan mark and even I was appalled watching him no sell the spine buster here.

http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/starrcade-89-future-shock/#.U4ThEigm-So It's a battle of attrition as the NWA runs single and tag team round robin tournaments to determine who WCW's true Iron Men are. Participating is Sting, Muta, Luger, Flair, The Road Warriors, DOOM, The Samoans and The Steiner Brothers!

If Bischoff is going to take pot shots every week, why not fire back? Otherwise your just the nerd being bullied forever.

After a month or so of bad RAWs this was a heck of little match to get 1996 kicked off. The puns were rough to listen to. Then we get more from Doc during a "Halftime" report.

Watching Nitro week by week now makes the Hogan antics to stay over more and more unbearable. Not sure how/why I didn't develop more apathy for him at the time.

[1995-12-27-WCW-Starrcade '95] Sting vs Kensuke Sasaki
BruiserBrody replied to Loss's topic in December 1995
I found the booking to be a bit odd as New Japan headliner Chono is beaten (by submission no less) in a matter of minutes and then Mr, Saito gets a protective DQ loss. Saito and Badd was much better than I was expecting.- 16 replies

[1995-12-27-WCW-Starrcade '95] Ric Flair vs Randy Savage
BruiserBrody replied to Loss's topic in December 1995
Flair's gusher was so late in the match and ultimately pointless. I figured Flair just wanted to look dramatic while winning the title. -
[1995-12-27-WCW-Starrcade '95] Ric Flair vs Sting vs Lex Luger
BruiserBrody replied to Loss's topic in December 1995
Most of the match felt like a "Best of" tribute to other matches these guys had in the past. Enjoyable but ultimately skipable. I loved the ending sequence though.- 11 replies

[1995-12-27-WCW-Starrcade '95] Eddy Guerrero vs Shinjiro Otani

I found this to be the best match of the card. Eddy was just on fire since he came in a few short months ago.- 12 replies
