I liked that they tried something different as far as main eventing a PPV with two technical guys on the smallish side. Agreed with the comment that it never felt like Bret was really in jeopardy which can kind of hurt a match that went as long as it did. Good match but wouldn't rate it that much higher than their match in June.

Pretty clean win for a heel at like Michaels at the time. But quite the turnover for wrestlers in WWF in 92. Hogan, Warrior, Piper, Von Erich, Sid, Slaughter, Iron Sheik, Haku, Barbarian, Roberts, Smith, Road Warriors all leaving. Guess guys like Valentine, Volkoff too. Probably others. Know some of them returned but got to be one of those years where a organization lost a lot of it's stars.

Match does not age well. Remember first time seeing it and thinking it was really good. Now just not a very good match. They tease Perfect walking out on Savage but it's past being believable. Not a whole lot of heat in match either. Would have been way more interesting to see Flair/Perfect vs Savage/Warrior at this point.

Was watching Bruno vs Killer Kowalski from 1974 on WWE Championship DVD. Kowalski bloodies up Bruno and really takes it to him. Every time he climbs to the top rope the crowd get really anxious. Finally Bruno has enough and just goes off on Kowalski. I was pretty taken back by the nuclear crowd heat on this comeback. It's just punch and kick but the MSG crowd goes nuts. We are past the time where crowds will react like this.

Can't imagine how this was considered a disappointment at the time because it's pretty great to watch now. Great start to this epic feud. What a way to start the match with the immediate backdrop by Kawada. He means business. One of my favorite matches of the year. It's cool to see tag partners battle it out like this and sets things up with Kawada goes his own way and these guys get more serious against one another.

The finish was cool with Roberts getting his by his own snake. Him putting the snake to his neck after the first attempt was a bit obvious but still good finish. Wish they went with a better match type and surprised to read the comments above that the wheel was rigged after all. The promos leading up were great. Too bad Jake didn't stick around.

Best match of all time? Best match up until this point? Pretty high praise here. I'll admit at not being the biggest Joshi fan but this was pretty darn great. If I did a rankings for 1992 would be interesting to myself where this one ends up because it definitely is near the top. My issues with Joshi tend to be I'm not personally invested in anyone but I can get behind someone like Ozaki. She was fantastic is this match with her heelish antics. Toyota doing the rolling cradle so late in the match was silly and almost hurt things for me but in the end I am able to overlook it due to the whole body of the match.

Didn't even look at set list when sending payment. Feel like this will be a very popular set in the threads as probably be a starting point for folks who have yet to get into yearbooks. Can't wait until it arrives. And congrats to Will on the new birth.
