This is a lucha trios match! The personal vendetta between Volador and Misterioso was focused on as well here. It was mighty entertaining just watching all of these exchanges. Great lucha fun! -
This was extremely satisfying. All four pairings were a blast for the first 10 minutes and Regal was phenomenal with his mat exchanges. He threw some nasty forearms on Sting that the Stinger sold beautifully. This was a really good match. It was one hell of a gem in my book.

The best part of this was Mick screaming German at Vader. His ear of course is left behind there.

I think my Honky Tonk Man rendition was the greatest ever. I don't think I can be touched with regards to that.

Great tv match here. The pace is really fast and that's what makes this so good. The cutoff spots were brilliant and very impressive considering the speed of the match. Th near falls towards the end were tremendous and the crowd was really into it. The finish is blah but the post-match stuff was a neat way to kick things off in the Flair-Steamboat program.

This was tremendous. Vince is hysterical.

The match itself stunk but at least Jake took a good bump off a missed knee lift. The antics outside of the ring are what really made this entertaining. Sherri takes a bump as always then gets stretchered out. That was hilarious. Mascarita Sagrada does a fucking splash off the top of the cage! Jake no sells it which was bizarre and goes after Sagrada. Konnan makes the save and wins the match. Sagrada had one hell of a night.

This was spectacular. I actually think it's the most impressive match I've ever seen. I think what's really remarkable about this match is the timing of all of the spots. The way the match flowed from spot to spot was incredible. Espectrito uses some really aggressive and nasty looking holds to try and incapacitate the smaller Sagrada. He does everything he can to ground him and when he does it's usually successful. Sagrada's speed and agility is often too much at times for the larger Espectrito. He can't even manage to get settled back into the ring for a big portion of the first fall. The dives in this were unbelievable as well. Each one got a massive pop and rightfully so. In the final fall where they do the misdirection spot with Espectrito diving into Espectrito instead is the greatest timed spot I've ever seen. That is not an exaggeration. The closing seconds were really great as well and even with the possible botch of the finish they corrected it like nothing happened and still managed to end the match with Sagrada executing another brilliant move to finish off Espectrito. I will say though that possible first attempt at the finish was brutal with Espectrito getting spiked on his head. This is the best match of the year by a pretty fair margin. It's really a sight to see and one of the most impressive matches I remember ever viewing.

Rey Mysterio was tremendous in 1994 too. It was really amazing to see the differences in each pairing and when Rey-Fuerza got in it was very clear who the best guys were in this. The first fall is considerably long for lucha and mainly consists of the techinos getting the better of the rudos. Espectro and Estrada take a couple of standard rudo bumps but as always they're insane bumps. They switch the pairings up a bit towards the end of the fall and Rey is in there with Estrada. Estrada catches Rey on a moonsault and powerslams him for the pin. Fuerza and Espectro get rid of the others and the rudos win the first fall. The second fall is essentially lucha brawling in and around the ring with the rudos winning the battle. The highlights were Rey get viciously slammed on the concrete and a bloody Heavy Metal getting body pressed into the front row of chairs by Espectro. Every now and then the technicos would battle back with some nice hope spots but to no avail. The rudos win this in two straight falls. I liked this a good bit and this is a perfect example of how long Rey has been performing on a high level.

Brian Christopher was an excellent FIP in this. Funk was hysterical throughout the entire match conspiring with Eddie Gilbert on the apron early on, assisting in Koko's cheating tactics, and hiding under the ring to help Eddie in the last minutes. I loved how he was eliminated as he must have forgotten that the piledriver was banned in Tennessee. This whole match is Memphis as hell which I love and it's lots of fun. Don't count on it being a classic but it's a novelty and the epitome of Memphis wrestling.

I'm not so sure WWF should have put this on tv but Tatanka found it to be really important so that's what matters here. I personally thought it was a cool segment but doing this kind of stuff in front of a live crowd is always a risk considering annoying hecklers. I'm probably thinking on it too much because there wasn't a lot of background crap from fans. It was a good segment anyways.
