I have always hated the overly sterile feeling these syndicated shows had. WWF was horrible about that as well. It was the flavor of the day though. That and those motherfucking hideous chroma key backgrounds.

Michael St. John is a complete bumbling fool. Have I made that clear enough? Paul Neighbors (Jerry Jarrett's unintelligent, untelligable cousin/ring truck driver/Jarrett ranch hand/personal slave) keeps doing those damn annoying "Milking an Invisible Cow" hand gestures. There's no point to a Cage if the seconds can pass things UNDERNEATH or scale the cage easily enough to interfere.

This was actually very well produced, if slightly (okay way too) comic book for my tastes. A plastic bag works fine, but I guess thats an Immitable Act so they go with a casket. I didnt remember this going as fast as it did. This really had a break-neck pace once the Warrior gets stuffed in there. I know there was a trick there somewhere (like a trap door or a panel out of camera range) but Ive never figured it out.

I've read that Jackie is in real bad shape. He might not make it this time. I've never really thought about it, but if there was no Fargo, then obviously no Fabs. No Fabs means no Rock n Roll Express, Fantastics, RPMs and all those knock-offs. So no Rockers, which means Shawn Michaels' career would be so much different. If no Fargo, then no Lawler. No Lawler means, really, no Jarrett Promotions as we knew it. No Memphis Wrestling would have meant I wouldnt have gotten addicted to this stuff at a really early age. I wonder what my Obsessive Nerdishnes would have been without wrestling. Probably, a Tarentino-esque Exploitation movie nerd. I would hope to be more like Joe Bob Briggs, but Im just not that cool. If no Wrestling, then a lot of my lessons in life (from watching how people act, react, business ethics, art, etc..) wouldnt have sunk in. Wrestling has shaped me more than damn near anything really. Sad but true. So Fargo kinda Grandfathered a lot of well...me, really. Even if he kinda aped Popeye... When he does go, I hope he does the Famous Fargo Strut right through them Pearly Gates.

They taped the show much earlier than usual that Saturday. Thats why the crowd size is so dinky.

I remember Owen in a couple WCWSN matches (against Joe Cazana & Mark "Killer" Kyle) as well as syndie/other TBS shows matches with Rip Rogers and Keith Hart (who they called "Keith Stark" for that one).
-
They re-aired that syrupy, maudlin "Thank God for Kids" video while Lawler's sexual predator/rape case was happening. Made me laugh inappropriately.

Common sense would say "Cut. Terry lets do another take here. And you know Tojo, dont you?" However, there are times you just let the thing keep rolling as Terry Funk's brain fart here is the Wrestling Promo Equivilant of a Slot Machine Hitting That Big Jackpot and gold just keeps coming and coming and coming out.

This is the fairly infamous match where the Steiners win the championships from the Birds that Michael and Jimmy hadnt even won yet. Yup, taped before WrestleWar, so the Freebirds have one of those Negative Day Title Runs.
