[1996-02-11-WCW-Superbrawl VI] Ric Flair vs Randy Savage (Cage)
Mean Gene talks about Savage walking the Razor’s Edge. Big hint towards future happenings of WCW in 96. Flair takes out the referee early which is questionable when you are chasing the title. That might be the quickest referee recovery ever. Dusty with the “she handed the shoe to Flair”! Elizabeth has turned on Savage which is big I guess. Hogan takes his aggression out on Arn and lets Flair escape the cage.

[1996-02-10-CMLL] El Dandy & El Hijo del Santo & Silver King vs Negro Casas & Apolo Dantes & El Satanico
Well, well. Check out this line up. Satanico with a much different look. Him and Dandy doing their same good mat work. Santo and Casas look so good together in the ring. Wasn’t as good as I would expect with the talent but did enjoy seeing Casas getting the straight up pin over Santo in the second fall.

[1996-02-05-WCW-Nitro] Randy Savage vs Chris Benoit
Benoit gets to hang with Savage for a few minutes. Woman attacks Savage. Hogan comes to the aid of Savage. Heavy boos for Hogan when he says he wants to put an end to Ric Flair. Nature Boy attacks Hogan from behind. Giant nails Hogan with a chair. The Zodiac looked to try to block Giant from inflicting further violence.

[1996-02-05-WWF-Raw] Billionaire Ted skit
The Ted Turner look a like sure got into playing up Ted. It really is sad to see WWF playing up being the small guy being run out of business when that was their whole act during the 80’s to take out others.

[1996-02-05-WWF-Raw] Bret Hart vs The Undertaker
This had to be a big match on WWF TV with Hart versus Undertaker. Diesel makes his expected appearance and takes out Undertaker. Big Jacknife powerbomb and Undertaker is out cold. Bret takes exception to this interference and slugs it out with Diesel after the match.

[1996-02-05-WWF-Raw] 1-2-3 Kid vs Hakushi
I was such a big fan of Hakushi. He’s much better as a heel in WWF though. Kid with the Butterfly Suplex off the top rope for the clean win! Excellent action between the two but I felt like Hakushi could have contributed more to WWF during this era. But Kid looked really good. He needed a longer run in WWF once he turned heel.

[1996-02-05-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels & Diesel vs Davey Boy Smith & Yokozuna
Michaels and Diesel still on good terms with each other. I hate those hats HBK fans wore in 96. Yoko’s weight is really getting up there. Yoko does his unconscious Summerslam 93 bump to the outside. Cornette is not happy with Yoko on this loss. Bulldog and Owen beatdown on Yoko turning him face. Hard to push Yoko at this size as anything but a heel.

[1996-02-03-NJPW-Fighting Spirit] Jushin Liger vs Black Tiger
Felt very average with the guys involved. Just never got to the level you would expect. Even Liger’s top rope DDT is poor compared to the 90-91 version.

Who took the best backdrop?
Hamada! I'd go with the Rockers as they would get some serious height against the heavyweights in WWF. Pat Tanaka also gets my vote with his flippy 360 sell on the back drop.

[1993-02-28-AJPW-Excite Series] Stan Hansen vs Toshiaki Kawada
Right off the bat they are brawling all over the place. Hansen hits a great shoulder charge through the ropes to Kawada on the outside. Love those overhead camera shots of Kawada looking like he is out cold. I think Kawada sells the Lariat from Hansen the best. Excellent match and so physical between them.

[1993-02-27-WCW-Saturday Night] Interview: Ric Flair
Welcome back Ric Flair to WCW. Poor Missy gets cut off by Flair’s security which is funny looking back to 90-91 yearbooks. Good call on the returns of Flair and Hogan to their organizations. Flair cuts a much better promo compared to Hulk.
