The best part in this lies in the fact that Alex's attitude here is almost a 180 from how his real life rep was. I wonder if he did this in one take with a straight face?

I am perplexed by the talk of that bump "crippling" Joe. Could someone smarten me up please?

I never thought I'd live to see a world where Paul E. wouldn't be the gold standard by which all other carnies are judged. But when a guy who has most likely been jucing for most of his adult life can turn a TRT exemption hearing into an advisory role on the board that was deciding the exemption, I have to say that The Carny Throne is now sitting on the head of Chael P. Sonnen. What a performance.

Who would have ever thought that Woman's best period in the business(looks and performance) would come as Sandman's manager. The two of them were perfect together.

I'm not sure I can defend this per se, but I think I can rationalize it. Ian vs Axl was a blood fued born out of losing a losing team must split up match against the Pit Bulls. All of their matches had gratuitous blading, but no more so than I've seen in Southwest for instance. The matches progressed from barbed wire bat matches to fans bring the weapons, and this was the blow off to the feud. As far as the glass glued to the fists, not only did the previous show have Sandman vs Cactus in a barbed wire match, but this show had Sandman vs Cactus in a match where Jack had his fist wrapped in barbed wire, so for the blow off this is what they came up with to top it. I might add that when watching this unfold in 1995 it did not seem out of place with what was going on in ECW at the time. Again, this may be more of a rationalization than a defense, but I am not as repulsed by this as it seems like a lot of people are.

While I am in agreement about how the brutality is a bit off-putting, as a presentation from the pre-match promises, through the sight of Funk doing his best Onita imitation in the post-match promises, to me this is as good as garbage wrestling has ever been.

Going into this set, I thought my favorite tag stuff would involve the various Dangerous Alliance combos, but this match was incredible and is my favorite match on the set so far.

When the Dungeon of Doom was first on TV I thought it was the worst shit ever. Over the years I have learned to appreciate its campiness. I've been a huge fan since 85, an while the Benoit deal turned me off for about 4 months I've never stopped watching besides that. My tastes have changed enough over the years that there has always been something about wrestling that felt fresh and exciting enough for me to keep watching.

I loved this match as well, but I saw it different than Loss. I had just watched Will's AJ set prior to starting this, and it seemed to me that in the two year gap that Jumbo had aged noticeably and whereas he used to own Kawada (from my recollection anyway) Kawada had closed the gap and Jumbo had to fight his ass off to survive and collect the winner's share of the purse. I am fairly All-Japan ignorant outside of Will's set, so that may account for the difference in perspective.
