I went into this one completely cold - except that Loss mentioned the Fantastics work in Japan on the PTBN Tag Summit pod so I had an inkling this would be enjoyable. I liked this a lot, I guess maybe because I haven't seen the DVDVR AJW set? These teams were fresh for me - loved a number of spots (the assist out of the suplex, the reverse tombstone, the planchas) and the general tag work (breaking pins, frequent tags). Easy **** for me.

Funny enough, this stuck with me too. Good showing for Cactus and I also liked the touch with Sullivan on commentary (Cactus certainly seemed legit to me from how they talked). Cactus Elbow at the end and then that facial they got of Mick as they went to commercial really got over his craziness.

I'm with Parv, Dave Brown and Lawler have great chemistry. First exposure to Dave for me and I'm loving him. Lawler is great ad-libbing these calls - although that one lady that shouted "BORING" was obviously not amused. The other thing I took away from this was - these guys loved to have their back to the camera and the audience.

Where does one find Mr. Steve Yohe's stuff? The offshoot around good wrestling writers is something I've always been interested in. Is there one place on the internet that houses a majority of them?

Pretty close on the booking. I have to say I'm flattered that my draft (and booking) was so well-received. Here's the link to both the results and the polls: http://placetobenation.com/where-the-big-b...-fantasy-draft/

Really interesting watching a face Arn here. I don't think he had GREAT babyface offense but Muta was on it seemed I thought Arn made him look great. Excellent false finish after Buzz hit the elbow with the ref distracted. I bought that as being it. Loved the knees up on the moonsault leading to a staggering Muta getting DDT and Arn winning the TV Title. Awesome finish. The Dragon Master, slagged so unmercifully by Parv and Chad, does nothing to dispel the perception that he is horrid as the only thing he did was wave at Arn when Muta had him on the guardrail. Oh that and forget to break up the final pinfall for his partner. Fun with the hot crowd and definitely cool to see. Buzz Sawyer challenges Arn ONE WEEK FROM TODAY (and I peeked and it's on the set - yes!) with crazy high-pitched grunts. This backstory really makes the Clash match make more sense.

I was super excited for this one going in and it lived up to expectations. Face Flair was great to start with Eaton taking some great bumps and just flying all over the place. Loved the neck work and Flair's final comeback was perfect - especially the suplexes to the concrete. After letting Eaton work him over, Flair put in the perfect amount of offense before the finish. I thought the back-and-forth was just beautifully balanced in this one. One piece that I thought was genius (and I may or may not be completely imagining this) but after Cornette first jabs Flair in the throat, Flair chases him around the outside before he lays down, clutching his throat. The ref is watching now - and presumably could infer what Cornette did and DQ Eaton - BUT Bobby jumps down and immediately chops Flair in the throat on his way down. Did I read too much into this? Most likely, but I thought it was awesome psychology to cover for the illegal strike and then, of course, continue to work the throat/neck for the rest of the match.

How about during Shawn Michaels/Kurt Angle match? #twobirdsonestone

LOFL at the 8mm guy popping in. Continuity!

Had to remind myself the Horsemen were faces here (for now) and I like Parv's point about the "Minnesota Flair" stuff when he does non-heel promos. Arn cannot dial it down a notch and delivers.

This. Very much enjoying her early 1990 stuff so far.

For as much of a dick-heel that Lawler is, he balances the line and doesn't make anyone else look stupid (to diminish the feud) even though King Cobra can't keep up. Loved that Eddie Marlin was self-deprecating AND called Lawler out for the exact reason he wanted a no DQ match. Dave Brown was great as well.

Cena has a ready-made arm injury (well, recovery) for Del Rio to work through. I would be pleasantly surprised if they write Cena off again after the match due ADR's work.
