We get a good comparison of how Hogan and Flair returned within the week on the set. Flair wins easily.

[1993-02-27-SMW-TV] Ricky Morton vs Bobby Eaton
Holy shit that kids mask ruled! Great run to the ring to get started. The messed up leapfrog was great because Eaton came right back with the knee attack that looked sweet. I'm sure it was called before, but what a nice recovery. If it wasn't a called spot before, Eaton is da man. Good match, then some interference, we get a brawl and some chaos.

[1993-02-22-WWF-Raw] Interview: Hulk Hogan, Brutus Beefcake & Jimmy Hart
You know if it wasn't Brutus Beefcake the story of a wrestler's downfall, injury, comeback, and redemption on a "Multi"-Millionaire is a simple story to get behind. But Brutus is just the goofy Hulkster sidekick, so whatever. I also love how Hogan sells that he just thought up the name Mega Maniacs on the spot, that's what we'll be brother.

[1993-02-22-WWF-Raw] Interview: Hulk Hogan
Weird listening Hogan talk about the tabloids in 93 and watching how his personal life unraveled on reality tv and in the media in recent years. If I were a young Hogan fan I would of have been psyched after this interview.

[1993-02-21-WCW-Superbrawl III] Vader vs Sting (Strap)
Vader is what a world champion should look like. Brutal stuff with a great struggle. Loved Sting's spinning back chop and kick to the face. Vader's ear getting ripped up was painful looking. I like the tease finish with Sting tripping over the ref (does Nick Patrick get paid for a non-sanctioned match?), and the finish was well done. Easily WCW #1 so far.

[1993-02-20-SMW-TV] Tracy Smothers vs The Nightstalker
End of Smothers v. Nightstalker match. Dirty White Boy runs down with a garbage can and uses scissors to shred the Confederate Flag. Nightstalker Adam Bomb with the powerbomb for the win. DWB handcuffs Traci in the ring while Nightstalker holds door to the lockerroom so no one can help. DWB sets the flag on fire in the middle of the ring and beats down Smothers before Rock-n-Roll and others make the save and put out the fire. Effective segment.

[1993-02-20-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Brutus Beefcake
Sit down interview with Vince. A recap of the sailing accident, parents death, and divorce......man poor Brutus. There are two reasons for Brutus being here: God and Da Hulkster. Brutus says they are his " Sword and Shield". Beefcake states that IRS and DiBiase can't handle the tag team of God+Hulk. You know God is taking the fall for that team. Vince really sells this as the comeback story of the year.

Not really sure how the blood(?) got there as I didn't see any from Beefcake, but the briefcase shot was nice.

[1993-02-14-AAA] Rey Misterio Jr & Winners & Super Calo vs Heavy Metal & Picudo & Psicosis
I liked this better then the first matchup. Rey getting destroyed is always fun. The dive sequence and finishing run were really great. Winners has to be Charlie Sheen's favorite Luchador and his dive at the end (front flip over rotation and splat on his face on the guardrail) was painful.
