[1992-06-13-SMW-TV] Interview: Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies
His hair is hard to not look at. Beginning of the promo the camera was not showing the top of their heads so I thought they were trying to hide it. But then when Lane does his promo we get to see his wonderful hair.

[1992-06-13-SMW-TV] Down and Dirty: Barry Horowitz
Dutch lets everyone know who he is and that we are not him. Barry is taken back by how many losses he has had in a row. Would have liked to seen more of Horowitz on SMW.

[1992-06-13-USWA-TV] Jerry Lawler and Ron Oakes feature
Tough to make some guy follow Warrior and Sting who were big stars at this time.

[1992-06-13-WWF-Superstars] WBF commercial / Randy Savage and Gene Okerlund
I don't get body building and the idea of people spending money to watch a PPV of it sure doesn't make sense to me. Vince does his hype job but the whole thing just seems silly. Moving on from Elizabeth being part of the feud is good since she isn't on TV anymore. Randy will do whatever it takes including breaking the rules to keep his Title.

[1992-06-13-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Ultimate Warrior
Warrior wants to sacrifice his flesh. He'll be a skeleton but the skeleton of the Ultimate Warrior! That made sense.

[1992-06-12-AAA] El Hijo del Santo & Octagon & Perro Aguayo vs La Parka & Blue Panther & Fishman
Was confused on the whole first fall decision. Had to go back and watch to see the submission. Thought it was a disqualification myself. Second fall was fun with Fishman was trying to get a chair from the crowd but they weren't too receptive to this. Aguayo ends up getting busted up but then annoys me but just walking around the ring trying to fire himself and the fans up with his team mates are being outnumbered in the ring and then get beat. That was just dumb. Third fall seemed to have a split decision. I don't see how the tecnicos thought they were winners though as they didn't beat anyone.

[1992-06-06-WCW-Saturday Night] Barry Windham vs Arn Anderson
Thought it was good for the most part. Barry took a big bump to the outside off a missed clothesline attempt. Looked like he was going to get counted out. As mentioned by others that disqualification ending was poor after investing so much time watching the first two falls. Don't like the third fall being decided by DQ like that. Better off just having the one fall if you are trying to protect both guys from a loss.

Lawler was great here. Enjoyed his Gilbert story about being more interested in watching Lawler wrestling matches on tape than Missy.

[1992-06-06-USWA-TV] Interview: Eddie Gilbert
Gilbert hits up the newsstand to get some wrestling magazines. I liked him trying to say he is not trying to be Lawler since he's better than him. But wasn't so sure about showing off the PWI rankings and bragging about being 6th in the world. Yeah, I'm sure there are some quality people ahead of him but it would have been most effective if he was actually ranked 1st.

[1992-06-06-SMW-TV] Interview: Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies
Funny to see all these hair comments as when watching couldn't take my eyes off Lane's hair. Cornette is happy at the thought of putting Fulton out of work and on food stamps.

[1992-06-06-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Papa Shango
Good to see Mean Gene gets his but I wasn't completely fond of his acting job. Think he should have been more freaked out and dropping to his knees would have helped since he's just an announcer.

[1992-06-02-WWF-Ottawa, ONT] Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels
Immediately thought this was the ladder match at first. Good match. Shawn wasn't completely relying on headlocks in the match. Sherri wasn't too involved in the match in my view. Figured with the title on the line she would be more aggressive. She finally gets up on the apron to distract Bret but he avoids a Michaels charge and gets the roll up. Shawn didn't seem terribly upset after losing. Will be interesting to compare this again to their Survivor Series match later in year.

[1992-06-02-NJPW-Super Heavy Crush] Jushin Liger & Tiger Mask III vs Wild Pegasus & El Samurai
Thought they hit the dives pretty early in the match. Tiger Mask's dive off the top rope to the outside on both opponents was impressive. Liked the finish where both Liger and Tiger go for stereo dives to the outside with Liger connecting but Tiger missing his. The suplex attempt exchanges seemed a bit off. Thought they got lost for a second before Samurai pulls out the win with a submission.

[1992-06-06-WCW-Saturday Night] Madusa and Missy Hyatt
Paul seems to really enjoy his exchanges with Ross. He seemed to be having a great time during this whole segment with Madusa was ripping on Missy. The trash TV stuff does feel ahead of it's time. Thought both ladies were looking pretty good.

[1992-05-25-AJPW-Super Power Series] Kenta Kobashi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi vs Doug Furnas & Dan Kroffat
As said above one of the best crowds for a wrestling match. Looks to be standing room only in the back. Anytime Kikuchi hits a move they just flip out. When he gets locked in a submission they freak out until he gets out of it. Fun match with a crowd that brings it to another level. Kroffat seems to be enjoying playing the bad guy here. Editing the first couple minutes off didn't hurt it all for me. Remains a lot of fun to watch after multiple viewings.
