    Are you sure it's not the Fire on the Mountain match from that same date ? Just asking. If it is, then it's a tremendously intense match with Del Rey bleeding buckets and a great brawl afterward.

    Cornette asked for a favour to Bob Armstrong during the Gangsta feud, hence the Bodies allowed to come back. Cornette seems to be more fired up than ever whenever he's back with the Bodies. Oh man, Robert Gibson... that wasn't a bright idea...

    Another way of trying to draw a crowd playing on nostalgia, but at this point that trick was done and over with I think.

    I don't think I would say they are *great* matches, but they most certainly are awesome five minutes matches if that makes any sense. Maybe it doesn't.

    This was from Fire on the Mountain. Yeah, Cornette was the special ref, and does he look fat at this point. Usual goofy evil referee stuff, but with Cornette playing the role, it's pretty fun. Unabomb is gone. No big loss to me.

    Good match. Brad Armstrong is exactly at the right place as the ace of a small regional promotion, he looks really good in that role. Buddy's punches look great, as does Brad's selling.

    I know. Well that was fun actually.

    I wish. But nah, he's not leaving. He'll make a comeback in 2017 I fear, as the babyface reign of Hollande doesn't work very well thus far.

    And there it is, Loss finally snapped.

    Yes. (I know, that's a rather detailed answer) Usually when a match is too short to be *great* we use the *great 10 minutes match* or *great short match* line instead of simply *great*. It may be stupid, and it does lead to the idiotic conception that every great match has to be a 30 minutes epic (the HHH syndrome), but usually you have to go to a certain lenght to have the time to develop the structure and build to a satisfying apex. I don't think that lenght should be that long, 15 minutes is long enough to develop into a great match, and most workers should never even try for 30 (don't even talk about 60). But I'd say yes, at least to me. But hey, I love foreplays, so there is that too.

    Pretty much sums up my thoughts about this match.
  12. El-P
    Sounds a bit long to me, but the final minutes are indeed excellent. Jannetty was ridiculously good at this point.
  13. El-P
    He looks like good old Glen Jacobs to me, I don't think he improved that much really. Then again, you know what I think about Kane. Pretty cool to see though. The ring is too small for Taker to do his flying clotheline properly.

    Didn't Raven do an ether spot at some point to make fun of the predominance of this stuff in Cornette's promotion ? Anyway, really good match, glad to see the Bodies back, although they were on their last legs, as Dr. Tom will soon hook up with Candido and Del Rey will sadly become a JTTS on WCW TV. Table spot, uh ? It's 1995 I guess, someone is gaining popularity...

    Because the Steiners always have been insanely overrated, that's your answer. The "great" Dome show match doesn't hold a candle to any of the other Hase/Sasaki other that year. it's not even a *good* match. Hell, Rick Steiner & Scott Norton had a much better match with Hase/Sasaki later in the year, simply because it had structure. The Superbrawl match is the same average kind of match, with a lot less exciting spots. They were shitty faces in peril (although Rick was better then Scott, at least early on), they never figured how to sell, they never figured how to use their big spots in a logical (or at least in a sort of ascending scale) way, they suck at southern tag team match structure because they are only interested in throwing bombs, which is why they can only be fun when they got some team who they can throw around (Nasties) or some team who throw bombs back (Doom) and settle them down (Doc/Gordy). The Road Warriors are indeed much better at tag team wrestling. And although I consider them really shitty workers, the Nasty Boys are better purely as "tag team" workers. Not that I don't enjoy the Steiner for what they are. But a great team they are not.

    I have shitloads of WWC waiting somewhere, one of these days, one of these days... it's stuff like this that gives me the urge....
  17. El-P
    Oh man, this was SO promising, on every level, work, promos... It's really a shame it didn't happen.
  18. El-P
    Michaels promo is decent, Landell's promo is awesome, although it comes off like a babyface promo a tad too much at points. Great promo nonetheless.
  19. El-P
    I don't know if it's because I spent so much time watching ECW, WCW and SMW, but those Taker promos sound so damn corny now. Interesting is a way to put it. A match I never ever want to see again is more like it.
  20. El-P
    They couldn't get Bruno so they put Backlund in. Nice.
  21. El-P
    I made a thread in the Microscope.
  22. El-P
    Well, there you go. Talk about them Steiner boys if you want to, to me most of their most pimped stuff doesn't hold up at all (the Dome match, Luger/Sting 10 minutes spotfest, abusing a young japanese worker). I enjoyed them trading bombs with Doom and Williams/Gordy, and their best match is probably the Nasty Boys from Halloween Havoc 90 (a case of a mediocre team and a shitty team having one hell of a match for some bizarre reason). Fun for big spots, but that only goes so far with me.
  23. El-P
    NOOOOOOOOO !!!!! Morton actually got me excited about this match, which probbaly would have been excellent at worst. All of this because of girls fighting in the back ? Fuck me....
  24. El-P
    I didn't see that one coming. Some slopiness from Snow, but overall a fun little TV match. Man, Ricky Morton is great, he comes off as slighty whiny here, just enough to not sound like a heel but still kinda heelish. Rock'n Roll vs Thugs sounds great on paper.
  25. El-P
    Gordy is already gone ? Another OD or what ? Except for his Raven match in ECW, Gordy post death is so sad to watch. I really don't care about Boo Bradley one way or another, just like I don't care about Dave Sullivan.
