Marlin explains how the rules of this barbed wire match is different. Going to be wearing gloves with barbed wire wrapped around it. I’ll have to see the execution of this one. Gilbert doesn’t think women should be in professional wrestling. Eddie ditches the glasses and shows more intensity. He’s not above hitting Miss Texas with the barbed wire glove either.

Tojo with a weak kendo stick shot. Gilbert barely noticed. Least he didn’t have to sell it. Gilbert gives Gilbert a couple whacks in return. Embry beating up referees. Miss Texas brings in some barbed wire. They wrap it around Gilbert! Eddie is a total mess. Crazy stuff. Embry tells Dave Brown that Lawler is done and now he was trying to get rid of Gilbert. Now we get a barbed wire match between the two.

Hogan smartly checks both caskets on stage to see if Undertaker in there. Hulkamania will live forever. Hulk will bury Slaughter six feet under. When Hogan was face to face with Bearer they were standing at almost a 45 degree angle. He ends up sticking Paul Bearer in one of the caskets. Paul didn’t seem too distressed about it.

As far as 91, I think USWA has done a poor job of these stipulation matches since we still get hiding weapons and strict referring. But then later in match the briefcase is totally in play. As others have said as a straight up tag match it is pretty good. It's not the brawl you expect for a street fight and it took a few minutes to look past that before I could enjoy it for what it was.

Honaga doesn't like masks. He always seems to be ripping at them. Thought this was great. Was really into Honaga in this one. He's aggressive and I like that he goes for all kinds of rollup pinning combinations. Back and forth at the end was excellent. And just when it looked like Liger would get his Super DDT off the top rope, Honaga hits him with a low blow. Total desperation move that worked in this instance.

Match had a great start with Liger trying to jump over the ropes and getting hit in midair by a dropkick by Casas. More highspots including Casas having his face rubbed into the floor when he missed one on Liger. I knew they couldn't keep that start up but still ended up being a good match.

Honaga had was doing a bunch of roll ups and Benoit finally caught on to him and dropped him with a suplex. Just felt like Benoit would put him away at that point. The clothesline finish didn't bother me as much at first as I kind of looked at it that he caught Benoit off guard. But watching Liger/Honaga later doesn't help it hold up that Benoit got pinned like that.

Owen takes a suplex to the floor on his butt. Hart works over the arm early moving through submissions. He gets a crossface chickenwing on briefly but moving off to armbar. Liger runs through his own submissions and then we go right to the flying moves. Liger’s top rope DDT is awesome. Much better than their 90 match.

Sherri’s hair is a mess. Money makes DiBiase the better man. Camera shot up Sherri’s dress. Sherri is a sport as she is up on apron and takes an inadvertent knee from Dibiase and falls to the floor. She throws better punches than must guys today. DiBiiase/Bret having a great match but Sherri gets too involved for Piper’s liking. He heads ringside to confront Sherri. He finds a broom under the ring and spanks her with it. Then pretends to ride it and chases her away. Bret hanging with DiBiase is a good step towards his singles push.

Warrior has had to learn to live in this normal universe of ours. Poor guy. Col. Mustafa has joined up with Slaughter. Sarge bumps early. Paul Bearer arrives ringside with a casket. Undertaker pops up from casket and we get a stare down. Warrior shows some fear. Heels beat on Warrior until Hogan shows up. Belt shot by Hogan has no effect on Undertaker. Warrior takes shots at Undertaker too. Taker looked strong with being able to take blows from both Hogan and Warrior.

More aggressiveness from Pillman in a match. Camera angles didn’t feel right when they went to the wide shots. Thought it was good match. It is Arn’s turn to interfere in a Pillman match. Eaton makes the save though to big pop and levels Anderson with a clothesline.
