We get ourselves a nice Jackie Fargo video segment. I so enjoy King trying to make legit sense of him being a heel in WWF on Memphis TV. He’s bad! He means business and he loves the folks in Memphis while not caring much for those New York cityslickers. I so love this feud and it must have been so fantastic for those Memphis folks to be watching it live at the time.

Again I think it’s pretty impressive that this stuff led to Razor turning face so soon after. Kid can’t beat Razor this time so smartly just runs off with the money bag instead.

Criss cross! Bruno would have appreciated that one. Absolutely love this match! They do they whole referee reversal finish which I loath but I’m just so high on this match I end up not caring. Marty had such a strong run in 1993 through early 94 in WWF. It’s not any breakthrough comment but damn was Doink so awesome during this stretch. This is probably my favorite WWF match of the year so far. Doink is such a missed opportunity for WWF at this point. He could have been such a solid uppercard guy. Why this warranted two out of three falls I don’t know but I don’t care cause we got a great match. WWF Raw was delivering some excellent matches.

There was some serious volleyball infractions during this game. Harley is funny. Cheatum the shark! This is so campy ridiculous. Cheatum plants on a bomb on the boat of Sting/Bulldog. I love how Vader and Sid are in wrestling gear on the beach. Bulldog hits a vicious flying clothesline on Sting to protect him from getting blown up! Quite the field trip for those kids to be able to play volleyball on a deserted island.

Big pop for when Flair tags in and finally returns to WCW ring action. I’m immediately stumped why we never get a singles Flair versus Austin feud as just feel like they would have been great natural opponents for each other during Flair’s face run. Has Flair ever beat anyone with a flying forearm??!! So the good guys win the first fall. I hate that finish with Flair/Anderson winning two straight falls but because of the DQ on second fall the titles don’t change. Really needed to give Austin/Pillman at least one fall with them being the hot tag team.

Jesse having trouble with the name of the building they are wrestling in. Probably my favorite Scorpio match. I thought he would get too excessive in ECW and hated his hitting big moves and never going for covers during those matches. Barry reigns him in and we get an excellent match. Windham just looks great and when Scorpio starts to fly the crowd are so into match by that point. I liked it being a clean match with the better man Windham getting the victory. He didn’t need to cheat and really added more to him being one of the best guys in 1993.

Love me some big elimination tag matches. I enjoy that these NJPW/WAR matches always seem to have Tenryu start off with either Hash or Choshu. No holding off or waiting around until they match up. Loved Hashimoto going cray with the repeated knees while holding Tenryu in a facelock and then hitting a big DDT. Big surprise with Tenryu getting eliminated so early. WAR guys hung around for a while but it got a bit too one sided in NJPW’s favor with Tenryu gone so early on.
