I like these NJPW five on five matches. Some big heavyweights on Vader’s team including Yokozuna! Savio Vega involved too. TNT felt more Kwang than Vega though. Thought Chono was eliminated early but he continues to wrestle. Looks like this is two out of three falls and not an elimination match. The big guys were bumping all over the place. It was good but not being the full elimination match was a tad disappointing. This had potential to be much more.

Stalling before with Embry running off as Lawler takes down his strap. Eric tries to use a chain before they even lock up. Referee very suspicious and checks him over a couple times but Embry hides it. Embry hides it in his mouth even. This is most of the match with Embry being sneaky as he can. This referee was getting easily fooled when a wrestler would point outside the ring and he would go investigate.

A handicap match between Slaughter, Adnan and Mustafa versus Hogan and Warrior. It maybe a three on two but on paper Hogan and Warrior look like the strong favorites. There will be a special guest referee who is introduced as Sid Justice, out wearing his wrestling gear. Slaughter and company seem happy with the choice. Sid lets the core know he is not a member.

Hashimoto’s early matwork and pace of match can test your patience but he is able to draw you in over the course of the match. With Vader you get two guys just slugging it out. Crowd was into it and there was some good close pinfall attempts. Thought finish came about a bit too quickly though once they really got going.

I couldn't believe this was put on last on the show. Missy doesn't even make it into the cage as the Hardliners drag her off including dropping her by mistake. Very quick match with Steiner immediately isolating Dangerously and pinning him. The fans are flying for the exits. I can see why this PPV is considered one of the lowest.

Crowd wants Flair. We get some close up shots of them screaming it. Thought match was good with Luger trying hard out there. Cage barely got involved though. They needed to have a great match to try to put Flair out of mind but the fans weren't having it. Ending was flat with Race and Hughes coming down to be in Luger's corner. They don't do anything though and Luger wins the belt.

The lack of crowd heat dragged this down for me. Not the type of match I was expecting, also mentioned by Ross on commentary. The good was Morton going right after Gibson's surgically repaired knee. Just adds to fact that these guys use to be tag team partners for so long but it means nothing to Morton at this point. Part of me wished for role reversal with Morton doing the selling but by the end Gibson does a strong job of selling the knee. Each attempting to dropkick one another on the ramp was a cool spot.

I don't like scaffold matches much. Some match to start off the show. Match is awful with very little happening. Eaton grabs the flag walks over to his side and then returns. Match just continues until guys start climbing down the scaffold. They've had enough and Gary Cappetta randomly announces Eaton/News as winners.

Super quick match as they do a couple teases in the ring about pushing one another into the mud. Guys get involved and Miss Texas is gently placed into the tub of mud. Weak stuff. They weren't going to be able to much with the set up of the mud.

Curious but did the WCW fans consider this to be an angle/storyline? It is interesting to see them discuss it the way they did and wish Flair the best in the future. Ross and Heyman are shocked. Luger keeps the title shot at The Bash and Windham has been chosen as his opponent. Ross and Heyman treat it has a big match to have signed.
