Eddie really kills it as the heel champ. There is not one thing about him that is actually likeable. Morton does a good job of getting the fans behind him without any work in the ring, which is his strong point.

Not to nitpick, but Fargo didn't seem to be calling the match down the middle at all. Either way, the Dogs are no longer champs. Jarrett did fine in his portion of this, he gave Jerry the meat of the promo and that works just fine for me.

I loved Casas' mat counters. Just amazing stuff. Using the sharpshooter to win the first caida after not letting Dandy get the same move earlier was a nice figurative slap in the face. The foul kick was such a brilliant move and used at the exact moment the referee wasn't looking. Loved Dandy's comeback and the roll-up to win caida 2. Dandy coming out with not one but two (take that Casas!) running dropkicks to start Caida 3 was awesome after the way Casas started Caida 2. Pierroth contributed to the match at ringside, bitching and moaning whenever Dandy kicked out. Dandy using the Casita on Casas was an amazing finish.

This was all kinds of awesome. I look at it as two guys who are hard to get along with (and therefore heels) except for the fact that their personalities just happen to line up with each other. The way they did the characterization of Buddy as the womanizer and DWB as the headhunter in school worked really well for both characters. Super fun stuff even if it didn't (awww) go anywhere.

Glad the Dogs are back from their vacation. Fargo brought everybody's mood up and he should. He's a legend and always plays well in Memphis. Looking forward to arena clips!

Christopher is downright hateable here. I guess the upshot of him being a dick to eh homeless guy is that he is negating the whole reason for hiring somebody to do that stuff. He is still spending the same amount of time on cleaning as he would otherwise by being such a micromanager.

This match is really, really sloppy and all over the place. There is a ton of action to be sure, but the multitude of blown spots killed me. That and the sheer non-sensical Hokuto kicking out of all those suplexes and the diving enzuigiri. And I am so sick of Toyota's dropkicks. Stop at two and they look impressive. Keep doing them over and over and it gets to be so overdone. Not saying it isn't impressive, just could do without 8 straight dropkicks from one wrestler.

Didn't like Vader bumping that much either. I did enjoy the structure a lot and thought Scott did really well in peril for a while. The finish was out of nowhere for sure, which I suppose is good to keep the illusion that it can happen more often than it does. I think garretta hit on the reason Vader/Bam Bam never came to WCW as a team. Doc/Gordy were the headliners.

I tend to agree with Graham Crackers in that these matches hide a lot of the flaws of both the style and the workers. You just watch the crazy spots and as long as there is some vestige of a story towards the end and the right people double-cross each other it works. When you get to one-on-one or two-on-two things tend to not work as well.

I liked this match better than the others. Liger's matwork all had purpose: to kill Samurai's arm. And it worked, right until Samurai rolled him up with his legs. Not only that, Samurai sold the arm really well all the way through. My favorite juniors matches are the ones that don't stick to the formula, and this one was really great besides that aspect so I loved it!

I liked Fujiwara being one step ahead on the mat early. And the headbutt was sweet. I was surprised Vale didn't come in with kicks after that. The matwork went on a little long for me despite being good. If Vale wants to win he knows that's not going to do it. The finish was great. When Vale finally starts coming in with big kicks he gets a big advantage and the surprise KO. I just thought Vale should have switched tactics sooner given how much of a drubbing he was taking on the mat.
