[1996-11-02-USWA-TV] Wolfie D and Brian Christopher
Wolfie and Bill together after the feud they had was just wrong. Luckily, Bill turned back babyface shortly after this.

[1996-10-27-WCW-Halloween Havoc] Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage / Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper
The ending to the match was disappointing. Did they really need to have Giant come down? Dibiase and Nick Patrick were enough I thought. Plus it made Savage look weak again. No wonder he joined the NWO a couple months later. As for the Hogan/Piper thing, it was good for 5 minutes till Piper started to ramble.

Gay jokes
Instead of gay jokes, now it seems they are pulling the race card.

From the September 18th 1989 Observer: Someone needs to find that song and put it on one of the Schneider comps or something.

Is this the last time Sting talked for a year or so?

[1996-10-23-UWFi] Billy Scott vs Kenichi Yammamoto
I enjoyed this but probably not as much as Loss. It was kinda slow to get into but the Dueling Belly to Belly suplexes ruled. The thing that hurts it is the dead crowd. I know that's what they are known for but it's still annoying.

[1996-10-20-NJPW-Super Grade Tag League] Jushin Liger vs Great Muta
The final 5 minutes of this might be my favorite thing about this set. Liger as Muta was just awesome.

The JR stuff would have been alright if it didn't last the whole match.

Clash of the Champions
Favorite Clash Matches: Steiners vs Hughes/Vader Midnights vs Fantastics Vader/Rude vs Sting/Flair Barry Windham vs 2 Cold The first match was just all Steiners throwing Vader and Hughes around like cruiserweights. Haven't seen Vader/Rude vs Sting/Flair in a while but I remember really like Rude in that match. My favorite moment was probably Harley Race and Paul Orndorff turning on Barbarian because he was friends with Cactus Jack. That or Doc/Gordy taking out the Puerto Rican team.

Gay jokes
Apparently Michael Cole dropped a gay slur on Josh Matthews on Twitter today. I'm surprised Cageside Seats isn't all over this story. A podcast should be made.

[1996-10-13-JWP-The Ryogoku Big Project] Devil Masami & Kyoko Inoue vs Dynamite Kansai & Aja Kong
Devil has a Jaw only Inoki would love. My god, what great facial expressions she has like Loss said. Kyoko continues to impress me in this match. She plays a great FIP and Kansai/Kong just destroy her. Good match.

[1996-10-13-JWP-The Ryogoku Big Project] Great Sasuke & Tiger Mask IV & Hikari Fukuoka & Hiroumi Yagi vs Super Delphin & Gran Naniwa & Candy Okutsu & Commando Bolshoi
This is why I love the Yearbook concept so much. I would have never even heard of this match if not for this set. Great match the blended so many styles: Memphis, Lucha, Puro, Joshi, Comedy etc. I really liked the Joshi girls. Especially Bolshoi. She hit her moves great and I loved the spot where I guess it's Candy stretched her mask for a rope break. I like that it didn't overdue the comedy but wasn't serious about it. Nice find.

[1996-10-11-WAR-Osaka Crush Night] Genichiro Tenryu vs Great Muta
This was such a great match. Probably the best I've ever seen Muta look. He was such a prick here and Tenyru played his role great. Just a fun match.

[1996-10-06-AJW-Ultra Whirlwind] Manami Toyota vs Aja Kong
I gotta agree with Loss. Toyota looked pretty bad and slopping in this match. It's like she gets worse as the year goes on. And the deal with the tin box was just stupid.

[1996-10-11-WAR-Osaka Crush Night] Rey Misterio Jr vs Psicosis
I didn't even know Rey and Psicosis wrestled for WAR after they went to WCW? The first match was better but I liked this one. It felt more like a WCW crusierweight match on Saturday Night than a exhibition.

Interesting notes/tidbits/BS found in the PWT Wrestling Observer scans
I'm reading some old Observers from 1989 and Dave brings up how some fans at the World Class tv tapings kept booing Eric Embry and Chris Adams and they snapped and kicked out those fans. Did any of this ever make tv? Dave's JYD type hatred for Embry is a little weird.
