[1996-02-19-WCW-Nitro] Ric Flair vs Randy Savage
I would've called this a great match but the finish hurt it. I'm guessing Hogan missed his cue cause Sullivan ran around the ring twice for what looked like no reason. Savage was outstanding in the match and so was flair when he sang "I've got the whole world in my hands". The post match promo with Savage going after Bischoff was great.

[1996-02-18-WWF-In Your House VI] Shawn Michaels vs Owen Hart
It's pretty funny that TNA used this angle with Kennedy but wasn't as successful as this was. Good match that told a good story. Loved the powerslam to the ground by Owen. Vince's fascination with HBK at the time was a little weird though.

[1996-02-15-CMLL] El Hijo del Santo & El Dandy & Dos Caras vs Blue Panther & Apolo Dantes & Emilio Charles Jr
Pirata Morgan is still wresting in IWRG with his sons and the fake Caras brothers. He was in AAA for years feuding with guys like Perro Jr. and the Black Family. He's still pretty awesome. As for Faraon and Javier, Faraon disappeared in 92 and Javier Cruz in 95 although Cruz returned in Guadalajara in 2004 for a short time. I know Emilio wrestled in CMLL till about 2008.

Comments that don't warrant a thread 2010-2011
Personally, I'd like to see Booker in the booth. Him and Scott Stanford would be great. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing him vs Sheamus over the King moniker.

[1996-02-15-CMLL] El Hijo del Santo & El Dandy & Dos Caras vs Blue Panther & Apolo Dantes & Emilio Charles Jr
What is the deal with the 2 straight falls matches? I liked this mostly for Santo and Charles. Emilio was in a whole different realm from his partners. I agree about the Dos Caras carrying Dantes thing. That was awesome. Loss, You've never seen Emlio's Los Guapos matches from the early 2000s?

[1996-02-12-WCW-Nitro] Hulk Hogan vs Arn Anderson
Yeah it amazes me how little heat Hogan had during the match. The match was fine and the finish was memorable.

[1996-02-12-AJW] Manami Toyota & Mariko Yoshida & Kaoru Ito & Yumi Fukawa vs Takako Inoue & Kyoko Inoue & Chapparita Asari, Tomoko Watanabe & Kumiko Maekawa
This felt like watching one of those ROH scramble matches from the early 2000s. Real fun match with some great performances from Asari and the chick that teamed with Toyota in the navy blue that took the Airplane spin at what looked like 50 MPH. However, I still have a hard time watching some of this joshi. The screaming bothers me and the shitty way they run the ropes and do double clotheslines.

[1996-02-03-NJPW-Fighting Spirit] Jushin Liger vs Black Tiger
The thing I liked about this match was Tiger getting increasingly upset at the ref during the 2 counts. Like Loss said, it was a good match but nothing great.

So will TNA release him so he can induct Arn to the hall of fame?

[1996-02-05-WWF-Raw] Billionaire Ted skit
When I watched these a couple years ago for the first time, I thought they were just some good natured jabbing. However, watching them now, they are very mean spirited. It almost makes me feel sorry for Ted Turner. Then I remember WCW was killing WWF at the time.

[1996-01-22-AJW-Champion Legend] Manami Toyota vs Yumiko Hotta
This is the first Toyota match I have ever watched and I came out of it impressed. Very stiff match and the heat was great. I agree the screaming was annoying. It was like watching a women's tennis match.

Seriously Shameless
Memphis managers/Heels saying that Jerry Lawler killed Andy Kaufman. It was bad when guys like Jimmy Hart and Eddie Gilbert said it in the 80's but when Eric Embry and Nate the Rat said it in the 90's early 00's it was worse.
