When the heel is holding the ropes during an abdominal stretch and the ref kicks his arm away, always cracks me up.

Match was alright, lots of limb work than a quick finish. Went longer than I expected. Brad Armstrong said they were "moving like cats out there." Morton hits Pillman's knee on the ringpost then puts Pillman in the figure four on the other knee. I like the intensity while in the hold by both guys. A few minutes later Pillman is running the ropes fine. He uses the same pin he used to beat Liger at the PPV, Morton had trouble getting into position.

Rip Rogers is wearing some amazing sunglasses and is still upset about not getting paid for all his squats. Tim Horner is apparently loved by these fans and gets a hug from an old lady in the front row who looks a lot like my grandmother in 1992. People in the crowd appear to be holding foam lightning bolts, was this a gimmick actually being sold? I feel like Horner should be wearing white trunks & boots, the colorful gear he has on really doesn't match his personality. Match was fine, the finish was surprising. Not just a sunset flip, but Rip was holding onto the ropes for dear life before losing his grip and getting flipped over and pinned.

Poor scheduling on USWA's part, having the Dirty White Girl come out to speak at ringside right before Eric Embry's match. DWG does a horrible promo, Embry comes out and harasses her. Embry's glee after pushing himself onto the DWG was weird, he almost seemed like a bit of a simpleton who really thought she liked him, instead of the sleazy dirtbag he's supposed to be.

Amazed that I recognized Nailz's voice immediately. I probably haven't seen anything with Nailz since it originally aired 20+ years ago. Looking back, it's interesting how this feud went from the first promo in March all the way until the first match between Nailz and Boss Man at Survivor Series. Today, this would be a two month program, if that.

More talk about clubbing seals! Was this a hot news topic in 1992 that I'm not aware of? How far in advance did Jake know he was leaving? I've been wondering how much of him pushing the line in these promos was because he was on the way out and a little more willing to say things that he otherwise might not have.

First thing you see is an ad for Super Wrestlemania on SNES. I got that game not long after it came out and hated it. The followup, Royal Rumble, was probably my favorite video game as a kid. Loved Flair and McMahon. Vince's reactions to the stuff Flair was saying was hilarious. "Let me assure you McMahon, the temperature in her pool is second to none." !

I watched this match a week ago and have been struggling to comment on it since. There just wasn't much to be said. It was a fine match that lasted longer than needed and never got to the point where it grabbed my attention. Solid, but I don't need to watch again.

Bischoff is treating this like he is doing a report for 60 Minutes or something. The Liger/Pillman clip was strange. The action that aired was a crucifix into a pin attempt, they could have shown 10-15 other things that were more exciting. It also seemed to cut out some of Ventura's commentary, why that was the clip that was shown is a mystery. I liked DDP here.

Skinny Bob Holly sighting! He benefits from some Ron Wright interference. Bob Armstrong is dressed like my grandpa. Ron Wright plays the helpless old man card, one which I've seen people use at my job before so it was nice seeing Bob Armstrong put him in his place. You know Wright will return with someone to manage.

The world title feud was between Koko Ware and Kamala?!? Oh my. Ware apparently agrees to double duty, a Moondog interferes in his first match and accidentally decks Kamala with a garbage can. Kamala, it can be presumed, tears a door off the hinges backstage and storms down to ringside with the door, which ceases to be a door after colliding with a few Moondogs. More wild USWA brawling, the Moondogs continue to collect enemies.

Okerlund is one of the best at interview segments. Him and Flair are both on top of their game, with Perfect cackling in the background. I distinctly remember these WWF Magazines with the doctored photos, including a followup issue that had the original pictures of Savage next to the 'shopped Flair ones.
