[1992-08-29-USWA-TV[ Tommy Rich vs Bill Dundee / Interview: Bill Dundee
Dundee goes right into that promo. Once he shakes Dave Brown's hand and then looks into the camera it just flows out of him.

[1992-08-29-USWA-TV] Interview: Jimmy Hart / Interview: Jerry Lawler & Jeff Jarrett
Pretty good interview by Jimmy. Agreed that he should have got more time on the mic in WWF. Lawler is not pleased with Hart's comments and defends USWA.

[1992-08-22-AJPW-Summer Action Series II] Stan Hansen vs Mitsuharu Misawa
Hansen works the shoulder on the mat and uses the guard rail outside for a shoulder breaker which was nice. Overall match wasn't much though. It's a nice moment for Misawa to finally win the TC but I felt the finish itself was flat. Misawa hits a forearm smash, takes a few seconds to recover and then makes the pin. Would have been more believable in a longer and more physical match. Plus Hansen pops right up after.

[1992-08-22-AJPW-Summer Action Series II] Jumbo Tsuruta & Akira Taue vs Steve Williams & Terry Gordy
Felt like Jumbo was a bystander for a good portion of the match with Taue taking a long beating. Williams and Gordy looked pretty dominant. Jumbo contributes more towards the end of match doing his best to fight off MVC. The finish was pretty surprising with him being taken out by the power bomb and pinned.

[1992-08-21-AAA-Sin Limite] Angel Azteca & Solar I & Super Astro vs Blue Panther & La Parka & Rambo
Azteca was sporting impressive head gear prematch. First fall was really good with the mat work though felt it ended a bit too soon. Second fall gave us some nice dancing. La Parka doesn't seem complete with his suit only have the bones on the front of it.

[1992-08-21-GWF] Manny Fernandez vs Butch Reed
Alright but a bit long. It was curious to see these guys as haven't seen much from them in the 90's. Thought the commentary was pretty good. Fernandez mistakingly calls somebody Bruiser Brody in his interview.

[1992-08-21-RINGS] Volk Han vs Dick Vrij
Han's takedown to start the match was pretty sweet. He moved really fast. I enjoyed Vrij's contribution cause he was getting the crowd involved. Good atmosphere to the match. Vrij looked like he was going to pull out the victory but went to the high kick too many times and got caught.

[1992-08-21-RINGS] Grom Zaza vs Shtorm Koba
No clue who these guys are but this was lots of fun to watch. The typical kicks and mat submission of these matches but these guys were also dropping power moves on each other.

[1992-08-20-AJPW-Summer Action Series II] Mitsuharu Misawa & Toshiaki Kawada & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi vs Jumbo Tsuruta & Akira Taue & Yoshinari Ogawa
Jumbo did look quite different. Thought match was great. There seemed to be a lot of agression from both teams. When guys interrupted pinfall attempts they wouldn't just kick their opponent once but repeated times after. Both teams where taking turns just pounding away like this. At one point Kawada was lifting Taue up to drop him chest first on guardrail but the fans in the front row bolted from their seats. Kawada then calls an audible and slams Taue on the empty seats instead.

[1992-08-12-NJPW-G1 Climax] Rick Rude vs Masa Chono
Rude pre match speech is fun to seen in front of a foreign audience. He kept it pretty clean though. Madusa looks like she is off to the prom after the match. Chono was the best fit for opponents for Rude from the matches shown on set. While I won't praise it as much as you guys, I thought it was a good match. Big pop for the finish with Chono winning. Seemed to be lots of emotion for that.

[1992-08-14-GWF] Chaz vs Steven Dane (Bungee)
Kind of scary when there was a scuffle before hand that could have messed up someone's harness. I would have liked a camera on the lift cage for the beginning but once they starting fighting I found the down below camera to work fine. This was still pretty interesting to watch from everyone involved. The group hug with mom after was funny.

[1992-08-15-WWF-Superstars] Update: More Summerslam hype
Nice hype job for Summerslam with various interviews. Diana was a bit too much. Beverly Brothers talk about being privileged. They are the one percent. Not sure how they got a tag title shot though.

[1992-08-11-CMLL] Atlantis vs Emilio Charles Jr
Excellent match. I do too think the second fall happened a bit too fast but really only a minor gripe in the end. The armwork by Charles was great. Atlantis had to leave the ring to try get his arm worked on. I like how he used as much of the referee count he could before getting back in the ring. Almost felt bad for Charles losing in the end since he was completely dominating and really should have won the match.

[1992-08-11-NJPW-G1 Climax] Masa Chono vs Keiji Muto
I expected more so it was disappointing in the end. Do have trouble getting into the New Japan Heavys matches that go long. I haven't been too thrilled with this G1 from the matches included so far.

[1992-08-11-NJPW-G1 Climax] Rick Rude vs Kensuke Sasaki
I can see the pluses of this match in that Rude got more of his offense in and didn't seem so one sided. Sasaki can be kind of tough to watch in longer singles matches at this point though. Seemed like they were exchanging rest holds at one point. The two knee drops off the top were wicked though especially the second one to the back of the head/neck.

[1992-08-10-NJPW-G1 Climax] Rick Rude vs Shinya Hashimoto
Felt like Rude barely got in any offense. When he did his hips swiveling taunt and then sold his sore back the crowd did pop big for that. Weird to see him not use the Rude Awakening.
