[1996-06-24-WWF-Raw] Ultimate Warrior commercial
This is in bad taste especially when you read in Bret Harts book about Warrior and the Make a Wish kid.

[1996-08-19-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels commercial
Very Memphis in the beefcake dept of the music video. Also the "Fuck" music was a nice touch.

[1996-04-19-WAR] Rey Misterio Jr vs Psicosis
Very spotastic. I miss their Lucha matwork that would build to spots. It seems the ECW effect has bitten them.

Maybe if they cut down the amount of Divas they have and give them some video packages that distinguish themselves from one another maybe the majority wouldn't feel like alsorans.

I wonder how these did in the ratings. You'd think they would be real channel changing stuff.

It had it's funny points, but we still get some VKM toilet bowl humor with farting noices.

[1996-03-02-WCW-Saturday Night] Ric Flair vs Sting
I've always liked this matchup and they always deliver a good match. Crowd was really into this, and the match gets digested better when the fans cheer the face, and boo the heel. Sure, it's very samey to their other 500 matches, but I like their other 500 matches how they are. This was really building into something nice when Luger came out. I mean they had to be building to a Sting/Luger feud until the NWO showed up. At least they were going a slow build type to it.

Super hot chick with tons of charisma. I think Sunshine might be the only other valet type that trumps her in charisma.

Forgotten Good Workers/"Hey I Thought This Guy Was Supposed To Suck?"
I think Loss it on the head about Pillman badmouthing Dustin to Dave. You see Dave in 92 really underselling Dustin's matches. A prime example would be calling his bout with Arn on the 1/4/92 WCWSN show 2 1/2*. Then again sometimes it takes Dave a while to warm up to a worker. It seemed it took him years to get Regal's greatness. When he 1st won the T.V title from Steamer at Fall Brawl he gave that bout less than 2*.

This is a perfect example of Shawn being too much Shawn that Bret would reference in his book.

[1996-01-08-WCW-Nitro] Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage vs Ric Flair & Arn Anderson
Decent tag match which I would have enjoyed more if the crowd didn't shit all over Hogan as a face. It's hard to get behind a face who is being booed by the crowd. Work was done well with Arn and Savage really sticking out here. I loved Arn's blind DDT on Savage as the transition to Savage going into FIP. Giant is booked strong here in the postmatch, plus they further the Dungeon of Doom/Horseman feud.

Dave Meltzer stuff
The AWA Set is going to help Martel's rep a lot. His stuff from Portland is chocked full of great stuff too.

[1996-01-15-WCW-Nitro] Ric Flair vs Sting
Another solid bout between the 2. Flair's selling of the superplex us pretty great. It's funny how Sting and Savage are booked compared to Hogan. Sting has lost 2 big matches in a row, but also is a dumb babyface who the fans like. Savage has lost 4 in a row to Luger, but is at least smart. Then Hogan who has all the momentum but the fans don't care for him at this point but he's smart. At least their is a pecking order to the booking.

[1996-05-27-WCW-Nitro] The Mauler vs Steve Doll
Interesting 1st segment that the live crowd really doesn't know or is in utter shock on how to react to it. Step 1 begins.
