The Mysterio vs Super Calo match was a fun '96 TV match. I am guessing it was originally meant to air on Main Event since Mysterio takes a sunset flip bomb to the floor and there are slo-motion replays, but it ended up being scrapped when

Super Calo broke his arm during the finishing stretch and can't catch Rey on the rana attempt at all.

They put up a new Collection on HHH/Taker featuring every singles match between them ever - pretty cool considering their rivalry is usually limited to Mania. Including in the collection are new hidden gems of HHH/Taker from Kuwait Cup 96, HHH/Taker from Feb 97 Shotgun Saturday Night, and HHH/Taker from Friday Night Main Event Sept 97

Three of the four are out there already, but not exactly easy to just find on Youtube on a stable channel, at least. But an early Konnan dark match tryout against Art Barr of all people? Yes, please!

Edit: Graham has Barr working the Juicer gimmick, which I believe is how PWI reported it at the time as well. That may be an interesting visual in a WWF ring.

I'm comfortable putting Jake vs. Sawyer in the ****-****1/2 range. Sawyer is really good too, but this is a Jake masterpiece. He has all of those "little things" psychology-wise that everyone likes to talk about, but he also adds some pure viciousness and even some high-end offense to his demolition of Brett Wayne. The added drama from Ole, II, and Buzz all on the outside is great as well.
