Random to see Wahoo here on WWF TV. Did Tatanka legitimately team with Wahoo at any point? Decent emotion shown by Tatanka here. I wonder at what point did they decide to turn him heel.

I don't get why Dustin threw Parker inside the ring. He could have just beat him up outside the ring if he felt like. Decision ends up being a no contest so didn't cost Pillman a loss but still was pretty dumb to me. Good match for what it was. Too bad Schiavone wasn't doing commentary when Jesse regarding the manager licenses as Jesse would have went off on him.

Weird double commentary track that gets in the way. Physically, Baba has no business in the ring with these guys at this point. But I cannot help but watch his matches anyways. He is the ring a lot to start this match. His Boston Crab attempt his not the best. Stan does better. Ha, Kobashi does the rolling cradble on Baba. That was quite the sight. This match ends up going a pretty long time but not in a bad way. Baba follows up Inoki from earlier in the set. That was a surprise.

Sato's top rope dive is crazy for someone his build. He pulls it off great. Thought he had match won on that third powerslam. Post match chaos ensues after the finish. Good match but yeah I prefer these guys in the tag matches. And some more after match stuff as just when I was getting use to Sato with hair.

Digging the crowd response right off the bat. Headbutts all around. Tenryu with some nice little kicks to Onita’s face on the apron. He is really just taking a pounding in the face and head and gets bloodied. Goto interrupts pinfall after the powerbomb and Tenryu’s response is fantastic as he just knocks him out of the ring and smacks the crap out of Goto. Onita can’t get enough momentum and now Goto goes after Tenryu with a chair outside the ring. There is very little standing in the apron waiting for a tag here. All four guys involved nonstop. Goto and Anita do a lot of quick tags when Tenryu slowly making it back to his corner. Tenryu finally tags back in only for Goto to interrupt again and it’s more anger from Tenryu. But Goto is ready this time and he returns the favor with some help of a table. Onita and Tenryu go back and forth to a great heated finished. Onita can’t get Tenryu up first time with the Firebomb and drops him straight on top his end. Good job Tenryu had his hands in place for that one. Second attempt works. What I love about these yearbooks is coming across a match like this that haven’t seen before. Tenryu and Onita were awesome here. Match had action from the very beginning with no down time. One of my favorites matches on set so far.

Steamboat really took it to Vader early with the repeated chair shots. Race doesn't help his man by distracting the referee for a very long time. Harley makes up for this by beating up Steamboat outside the ring. Vader should not be attempting sunset flips. Patrick let Race get away with way too much here. Not the best officiating.

I appreciate what they are trying to do here but I'm not as high on it as the rest of you. Hey this is still good and they succeeded on keeping me watching through the end. The pinfall definitely surprised me as I thought a draw was going to be the obvious finish so that was a plus for me. Arn's arm work to start didn't make sense when Regal had his leg wrapped up. Arn finally goes to the leg towards the end but it had me thinking what took so long to do that. Regal was better here. I can't imagine this type of match would happen in WWE these days.

I remember when I saw the original match listing for set and seeing Vader Public Workout that this could be alot of fun. Really good Vader promo to start. I can't imagine how jobbers use to feel when the saw they would be facing Vader at TV tapings. Vader looks incredibly deadly. You would think Flair would have no chance in a cage.
