[1992-07-18-WWF-Superstars] Razor Ramon vignette
I loved using the "cock-a-roach" line. And the way he delivered the "kick your face in the sand!" Great stuff.

[1992-07-18-WWF-Superstars] Update: Summerslam hype
Wembley sold out in 10 hours? That's pretty damn impressive if true.

[1992-07-18-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Big Bossman
Loved the promo. I am in agreement with Loss that Bossman was too good for the way he was treated. Was it because he wasn't a bit-time superstar, just a mid-level guy who could make anything work for guys on the way up? I'd figure that was a valuable thing to have.

[1992-07-17-CMLL] Lizmark vs El Satanico
It looked like the ref was saying that Lizmark's arm was keeping Satanico's shoulders off the mat. Too bad the slow mo replay showed him counting Lizmark out when his shoulder was up well before the ref's hand hit. Satanico is amazing and I liked this match a lot. I really dug the focus on Satanico's back as a way to stay ahead by Lizmark.

[1992-07-17-AJPW-Summer Action Series] Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi vs Stan Hansen & Johnny Ace
Not great match, but three things stood out positively for me. Hansen has a brutal running crossbody. They did make Ace look smart in not eating the Hansen lariat. If you are in front of it you are in the danger zone and him knowing that is a positive. And that look Hansen got on his face after the first lariat missed was amazing.

[1992-07-16-RINGS] Volk Han vs Andrei Kopylov
This is right up my alley. The legwork makes a ton of sense as the one thing your opponent leaves open when going after your legs are their own. Please tell me there are more matches from these 2 on tape?

[1992-07-12-WCW-Great American Bash] Big Van Vader vs Sting
Crowd was not super into Vader right away. I like Sting giving Vader a bunch of offense to make him credible before the shine. I loved this match as David vs. Goliath, with David getting a little too ambitious for his own good when he had Goliath on the ropes. Awesome stuff and probably my MOTY so far.

[1992-07-12-WCW-Great American Bash] Barry Windham & Dustin Rhodes vs Rick Rude & Steve Austin
I was a huge fan of Austin in this match too. He's a power wrestler who bumps like a junior and shows good technique. It's kind of a ridiculous combination. The match does get slow in spots, but that may be due to the time they give it. Great shine, great heat, the crowd ate up the hot tag and really got behind Dustin. Maybe not the best these guys had, but they were wrestling later on the show too.

[1992-07-12-WCW-Great American Bash] Interview: Bill Watts / Jushin Liger & Brian Pillman vs Ricky Steamboat & Nikita Koloff
Pillman looked super off here. He just was out of position or not paying attention about 33% of the time he was in the ring. Sleeze and I are 100% in agreement on Liger/Steamer. I was hoping and praying they had a singles match on tape somewhere because it looks like it would be AMAZING. I thought Koloff did well, especially against Liger. Oddly, Koloff was more entertaining than Pillman for most of this. Still a fun match that has great stuff in between the question marks. The interview with Watts was fine. At least we know, even if it is stupid.

[1992-07-05-AJPW-Summer Action Series] Kenta Kobashi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi vs Masa Fuchi & Yoshinari Ogawa
I don't know about better than the Kroffat/Furnas match. I love that match a lot. This one is right up there though. Fuchi is amazing in that he rarely does anything that is spectacular at all, but he's so good at everything he does you don't even notice. Kikuchi really brought it in this match and I loved the staredown with Fuchi. I know Kikuchi didn't get many wins over Fuchi, so I am always stoked when I watch one.

[1992-07-11-USWA-Memphis TV] Eddie Gilbert vs Ricky Morton
The match was really good and I loved Eddie's reaction to the special referee. Good detail work on the holds and Morton is way more versatile than anyone thinks he is. I would like to point out that they are recycling the Flair/Lawler World Title match from the 80s pretty blatantly.

I can't believe they wanted Razor to pay for his food. The nerve of some people.

[1992-07-09-JWP-Thank You] Mayumi Ozaki vs Dynamite Kansai
I loved this compared to the AJW style. Everything had meaning and room to breathe before the next major development came along. Loved the arm work after Oz realized there was no way she was going to beat Kansai at her own game. And Kansai's selling. As a BTW, if a person who knew how to kick did that to somebody on the ground like they meant it it's either the hospital or the morgue. Nasty kicks.

[1992-07-04-WCW-Saturday Night] Interview: Sting
I am loving Sting in this run as champ. He's energetic and fired up! And he seems pretty good at talking in character too. Tell me again why he couldn't cut it as champ?

[1992-07-04-WCW-Saturday Night] Interview: Bill Watts
Slater had some trouble getting his words in order. US Tag Titles are leaving, which makes sense given the lack of focus on the tag division.
