Aww, this was fun. That Ki Krusher through the table really ought to have been the finish, or at least not included if Ki wasn't going over, as the end of the match was really anti-climactic after that. However, you can't fault the effort here and this was the right match for this audience.

This felt very training-school to me, particularly in the early going; almost as if they were doing stuff because "that's what wrestlers do at the beginning of the match". Having said that, it got more exciting later on. I have always wondered, though, how guys were ever supposed to get better when they were wrestling equally inexperienced opponents each night.

Not much to add, but I really enjoyed this match. A very well laid-out match.

While it was nowhere near the level of quality, this reminded me of those Lightning Kid vs Jerry Lynn matches from 1990. Kid reached WWF 3 years later and Lynn turned up in WCW for a while 5 years later. This comparison makes it even more striking that Danielson didn't have a run in a mainstream promotion in the entire period to be covered by PWO 2K. I think a recurring theme of this project will be how incredible it really was that so many great wrestlers were not picked up by WWE in their prime.

I thought the show was quite decent. The tag match was really well worked and Strong/Almas was a good match too. Nothing blow away and I'm not sure where NXT goes from here, but an easy watch.

I agree that this was a great match. I especially liked the early exchanges with DIY having to make a herculean effort to get on top of the Authors. It was brought down a bit in my eyes by the synchronised offence and reversals towards the end, which felt a bit contrived. Other than that though, it's hard to imagine the AOP having a much better match than this. ***3/4

Great stuff as always Pete! This was the first Yearbook I watched and it was a really great year. I actually thought WWF was pretty good in 92, at least in the first half, much better than the 1990 stuff I'm watching from them at the moment. I also thought Warrior was a lot more tolerable in 92 that at any other time in his career, although I completely agree that he was not someone the WWF should have been looking to build around at this time, so all's well that ends well...if you can call WWF's 93 "ending well".

1) Satoru Sayama y Gran Hamada vs. Perro Aguayo y Baby Face (4/13/80) Very fun, all-action match. Hamada and Aguayo were particularly great. 2) Centurion Negro vs. Gran Hamada (2/14/82) Great mat work, well built. 3) El Canek vs. Don Corleone (2/14/82) I really liked Don Corleone's offence in this one. 4) Andre the Giant & Cien Caras vs. Alfonso Dantes, Herodes y Sangre Chicana (1981) Andre's spots were really fun, as was the rudos bouncing off him. 5) Tatsumi Fujinami vs. El Canek (6/12/83) Fine match, but not massively memorable.
