I liked this. The bullshit stuff was done real well. Seeing Scotty as FIP was pretty good. I don't buy Sting's face plant as a finisher, and it was weird that the Steiners didn't do any of their hot moves.

I loved the match at the fair. Just an awesome visual.

Tito has good matches v. Orton, Reed and Orndorff but I don't know that I've ever even seen a Steamer match against one of those guys so I don't really have a thought on that. Don't recall either guy doing anything of note v. Honky. I know Steamer worked Reed. Steamer had a match that was rated pretty high on the DVDVR WWF 80's set with Orton. The match also shows up on his WWE DVD that came out a couple of years ago. He also had some of HTM best matches. They weren't great, but I would rate them slightly behind Funk's work with JYD as a comparison.

This is a text book Jake match. Don't get me wrong Dustin brought a lot to the table too. Just a basic match that told a story. I wish these guys could have worked a program. I also like Bruno's line when Ross mentioned how Jake tricked Dustin with the leg injury. While Bruno goes Dustin wasn't tricked, it was the ref. In one line Bruno saved our babyface from becoming stupid. I wish Jake could have hung around. Their was a ton of faces for him to work with.

The reason being in the 80's the guys legit worked 8+ years out of the 10 or more. In the 90's a lot of the great workers from the 80's were getting injured,getting old like Steamboat or Flair or the landscape changed in 95 or so and smaller guys who were great workers were getting shots in the states like Guerrero,Misterio,etc who never would have gotten a chance to shine in the past.

Holy cow was this a match. Very similarly worked if he was wrestling Wahoo or Garvin. This was stiff. Being pro shot really made this match blow away the one from earlier. I loved Flair's mat work. How he worked over Tenyru's leg. If Flair would have done this in the title change with Savage that would have put that match in a much better light. Their were a couple of missteps, but nothing that hurt the bout much. Flair was great at jawing with the crowd. Even the 3rd fall finish came across as good and put the title over. Tenyru looked so desperate to get Flair in the ring before the 10 count and win the title. Just great stuff from 2 legends.
