I didn't mind the post-match promo. It set Sting apart from Flair. Sting is a humble guy who will give credit where it is due (regardless of face/heel). Flair would have gone on and on about how Sting couldn't get the job done. It makes sense. Match is perfectly fine, but they rushed Sting back to get the strap on him so I get it being short. -

I think it was mentioned in another thread involving this build. WCW needed to assure their fans that there would be no screwy Horsemen interference ending here. So much so that they forgot to hype the actual match. That was pretty much left to Flair and Sting. Sting seemed more interested in being a good company man and hyping the stips more than the match.

Kawada still seems like he's trying to break the juniors mold here. He's got more heavyweight things he can do, but ends up going back to his juniors highspots against Jumbo down the stretch because they are what he has left to do. It ends up costing him the match, which may or may not be good booking. More likely it's just Kawada didn't have what he needed yet to carry off a finishing sequence without going back to where he had been. Misawa is still half Tiger Mask. He's got some of the signature Misawa traits, but he also seems like he's trying to figure out how to go about distinguishing himself from the mask. I liked the later part of the match where he goes wholesale into using elbows to stop Jumbo's comebacks. You can see he's finding something there. Jumbo is great, letting Misawa and Kawada have enough to look good, but giving back in spades when it's his time. Yatsu is just....there. He doesn't seem to want to let Kawada do much at all besides hit him a few times. Kawada seems like he gets a little pissed off about it.

That kick to the back of Tessa's head was extremely well-executed. And highly uncomfortable. Tatum continues to be the biggest douche of 1990, which is quite the accomplishment. Oh yeah, I even said verbally (despite being the only one in the room) "there is no need for a ref bump, let alone two."
