[1994-01-04-NJPW-Battlefield] Rick & Scott Steiner vs Keiji Muto & Hiroshi Hase
First time seeing this and thought it was great. Agreed that Steiner looked like a star. Love the Screwdriver move. Rewinded twice after the match to watch the move again. Probably want to try pin your opponent after delivering one of those though. Was WWF pretty much done with the Steiners at this point? Got a good laugh at the end of this match with Mutoh comes off the top rope to try break up the pin fall but takes Hase hooked leg to the face.

Sparky rolls his car very fast into the garage area.

[1994-01-01-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Razor Ramon
I always liked the Arena interview set up. This must have been the last year WWF was doing these. IRS got a pretty good haul with Razor's gold chains, Undertaker's Urn and Tatanka's headdress.

SMW Ongoing Thread
Excellent. Ordered this one. I really have began to appreciate SMW more and more thru these yearbooks. Looking forward to this overall set.

The Wrestlemania 29 Early Spring NY Weather Disaster Prediction Thread
I think they will be fine with weather. We are not talking about ice/snow by this time when show is ready to go. They will have roof around ring to handle any winter time weather. Me, I am looking forward to this show as probably my best chance to watch Wrestlemania live in this area. Yeah it will probably cool for those in person but will be fine for me.

General thoughts on 1995
Really enjoyed this yearbook which was kind of unexpected for me compared to the other years. I wasn't fully paying attention to wrestling at this time so it was good to see a lot of this stuff for first time. I like that there was more wrestling on this set compared shoot wrestling on the other sets which I tend to fast forward through unless it includes Vader. SMW/USWA was a standout for me on this set. WWF stuff was better than I remembered.

[1995-09-18-WCW-Nitro] "They Call Him Mr Wonderful"
Didn't pay much attention to WCW in 1995 so when watch this on yearbook set was just blown away. This is a fantastic entrance them and easily in my top 10 ever. I must have watched this 20 plus times on repeat. All the music seems to sound the same these days so I really appreciate themes like this that are different.

Gimmicks you'd like to see developed
Would like to see a wrestler who completely mirrors the style/copycats their various opponents. Whoever they wrestled would be a battle about hitting the same finisher to win. I know we have seen instances where guys steal each other finishers (seems like this would happen with the Rock) but this would be someone trading same move for move, reversal for reversal with their opponent. I'd probably even have him mimic the wrestling attire and mannerisms of the other wrestlers. Would have to be a heel, someone getting in the head of their opponents, creating doubt in the babyface's mind that their finisher could be used against them. To pull this off the wrestler would have to be physically and technically able to pull off different styles so would be tough.
