I'll admit to losing focus watching this one. Probably add it to the rewatch list. Guerrera ties Octagon's headband to the ropes which seems like a spot every opponent should do to him. Guerrera was putting him a nots at this point. The blood and violence really picks up in the third fall to go with the mask ripping. Guerrera doing the soccer goal slide on his knees taunt and then almost getting submitted from behind would have been a great finish to me.

Heenan actually managing Flair ringside. This was fun with really great crowd heat. Little use of rest holds in match with Flair just bumping all over the place for Piper. Ric gets a big pinfall even with the use of the ropes. Don’t see Piper lose to much like that. I wasn’t big on Flair going after both Piper and Hogan on his arrival as the Piper feud is put aside now to focus on Hogan at the next show.

Luger’s piledriver is called the Attitude Adjustment? Simmons gets the first fall via spinebuster. That was pretty quick. Simmons really had Luger on the ropes in the second fall but got too reckless with his tackle attempts. I did not like the second fall finish as Race’s involvement was too obvious with referee right there. Simmons was just so close here to winning multiple times. Definitely one of the best matches of his I’ve seen. Excellent performance by Luger and I liked the finish with Simmons hitting ring post after one too many big tackles. Better than I expected going in.

This opened the show?! They did a poor job explaining this one on the buildup. Leatherface should be taking notes from Cactus how to use a chainsaw. Scott Steiner is back. What a mess. Just way too much going on to follow. It's not a terrible match by any means but this was too excessive on what they were trying to do. Guys all bloody and the reaction the finish gets in me is laughing with Abdullah getting electrocuted.

Pritchard ends up hitting Embry twice by accident. Marlin probably didn’t do much in full match but he was throwing some rights. Embry and Pritchard end up brawling with Billy Joe Travis doing his best trying to be peacekeeper. Embry calls out Pritchard for liking the big gals. Eric should have known then about Tom. Wow, Pritchard actually acknowledged the Piper comparisons.

Not what I was expecting at first. Thought there would be more brawling early in match. Kawada strategy is to take Jumbo down to the mat and it works great. Kawada gets a bunch of headlocks on Jumbo. Each time Jumbo gets to his feet Kawada manages a counter into another headlock. Kawada just can’t hit the big move in the end to put away Jumbo. Going to say I still enjoy their January 92 encounter more but this was pretty good.

Kroffat’s knee is already injured as joined in progress. Fuchi must have been all over it from the opening bell. Furnas throws the towel in but Kroffat tosses it back out as he wants to continue. Showing good fight. Fuchi is great at continuing to go at the knee. Too bad this wasn’t full too see everything leading up to the referee stoppage.
