YUJI YASURAOKA OF THE DAY #1 This was a really fun junior's tag as you had guys flying around recklessly plus all the awkward painful violence that WAR entails. Problem with the match was obviously Lance Storm who is such a terrible wrestler. Half his stuff looked really out of place soft and he didn't have a clue about how to sell, or really add any substance to what he was doing beyond just executing one move after another. However, I'd say Sayama carried him okay with his shoot techniques (boy you are in trouble when Sayama has to carry things). Tiger Mask I is fat here and like Mil Mascaras meaning he is on offense whenever he is in, and really recklessly kicks th…

They call Hunter, Triple H in the video package. 1996 is such a cool year in the WWF. I feel like everyone had a distinct and interesting gimmick. The sadistic Greenwich snob that uses people vs the Macho Man/Liz reboot for the 90s is actually a good contrast. I think in terms of characters/gimmicks in WWF, 96-97 is the peak. This match unfortunately is not very good. They kinda skip the shine which is silly because Mero is over for two reasons: Sable and his moves. GIve the crowd something to invest in! HHH focuses this match on lots of cutoffs because he doesn't have any offense. There is not a whole lot of emotion in this match which is a problem with most HHH matches.…

I fast forwarded to the finish. Never heard of this and was totally surprised. Interesting. Billy takes a hot shot and sells it as a stinger, temporary paralysis. Wives rush the ring as does the medical team. This has Russo's fingerprints all over it. Novel idea to waste on a midcard match. Billy's selling was pretty good. Bart was atrocious. But by doing it on a midcard match makes it feel like it could happen anytime. I don't know. The follow up the following week was weak and to really sell it they should have had all the heavy hitters talking about it and make the repercussions felt in other storylines. That is the downfall of Russo booking, no follow-up.

I have been enjoying the Karate Fighters tournament. The best part was Sunny getting DQ'd for using bubble gum to her toy on this allowed Sable to make the finals. Lawler is facing Sable in the finals. Sable has her husband, the Wildman so Lawler brings out Triple H. Lawler throws fit after he loses to a woman. They beat up Mero. Goldust saves. Lawler is confused why Goldust would care if Triple H made a pass on Marlena if he is you know...Goldust says "what?" Lawler stammers you know and finally says Queer. Goldust says No and punches him. That is how you turn babyface by asserting your heterosexuality. Lame. Original Goldust gimmick was so fucking good. Babyface Goldust…

Very similar layout to their 8/19/96 Nitro match but Regal was even better here and really outshone Malenko. In theory, I like the time limit draw but there was zero drama leading it up to it and it fell pretty flat.

This thread was created solely to tell everyone to watch this match to see Sunny's entrance. Damn! I MEAN DOUBLE HOT DAMN! WOW! Sunny has had her eye on young Rocky. Lots of good innuendo. Sunny is really good on commentary. In the first Rocky/Sincere match about a month ago, Sincere kissed Rocky and she said "Now Im jealous" the way she said had me laughing out loud. These two have your basic, wrestling 101 match, but Sunny kills the game here.
