I'd say death is pretty well the end regardless of place and time. But stuff like jail time I don't think we'd have to stick to. -
WWC selects Savio Vega, who shall be known as TNT.

Savage working through his embarrassment was really good. I don't have the sentimental connection to it due to not being a fan while their love story was going on, but it does have more appeal than anything else going on in WCW or WWF at the time.

It did amuse me that Missy got top billing right after Luger, Sting and Flair, just no mention from the announcer. A wink is as good as a nudge, right? Eh guvnah? PN News rapping about Ric Flair makes me sad.

I'm fine with that. I have to add something like 10 guys even after the draft is over to bulk my roster all the way up.

Lawler is pretty much the King of everything in the clip. I like that the way they have been portraying Embry makes you question whether or not he actually did leave Lawler in a pool of his own blood. My guess is no, but it's neither here nor there. Leatherface does indeed surprise in the depth of his love for the chainsaw. Poor guy, all he wants to do is cut people in half.

The tag match was some kind of oddball mix, but it worked. Doug was throwing some pretty good punches there. Tar and feathering is a bit much, but the Anthonys really do save it. Might even lead to some memorable matches.

I'll echo the sentiment about Colon going over clean and being mobbed by fans being a great way to end the set. I will not ever agree that Steve Strong in a 20 minute match was a good idea. Colon got what he could out of it, but it's just...not good. I get that there had to be some time after the leg work and the figure four sequence, but this dragged a lot for me.

I'm good to go whenever. Just gimme a day and time. Far as I can see, I only have a few guys I really want that are going to hold a lot of name value in the fresh face draft. Picks are not at a premium for me. Plus, my entire roster is made up of PR guys and guys I have use for.

I'd agree that after 87 it seems like more flavor of the month heels/babyfaces vs. the usual suspects matches that are good to really good, but just don't reach the quality of matches on disc 2 or 3. It's not like anything is bad, just a definite drop in quality. For me any time Chicky Starr showed up I was still usually pretty happy with things. The first Batten Twins match as heels also was just a jump up in match quality.
-
To point out how fantastic this disc is. I am a huge fan of the Invader 1 vs. Ron Starr street fight match, amazing stuff throughout. But I take no issue with you putting those 7 matches above it at all. There is just THAT MUCH good stuff on disc 3.
-
Strong isn't anything special, but he's carry-able. Abby does a lot of the work here and that's for the better. I like Abby as a babyface as much as I like him as a heel in PR, which is to say a lot. He's got such a great connection with fans as both. Strong hits a couple of pretty good lariats and ends up looking pretty good coming out of the match. One thing I will say for him is that either he gets that he doesn't need to throw in a ton of flashy offense or just plain doesn't have it. Either way it works in his favor.

Early match was pretty standard PR stuff, really putting over the gimmick. If there is one thing that makes me think PR was a territory that was run in a smart way, it's that all of the high profile gimmick matches I have seen really make sure the gimmick is front and center. The kick sequence from TNT is awesome and I love how he doesn't use them as a crutch. Not that I don't think they should finish somebody off now and again because they look all kinds of awesome and hurty. Finish is...fucking OW! Crazy, but very good, use of the stip for the finish.

Yeah, compared to the previous tag this was a downgrade. But we still got good stuff like that barrage of awesome punches by Super Medico. And Rufus R. Jones dance escape was pretty good, made better by the Battens' accusations of him cheating afterwards. They are so much better as heels.
-
A longer heat would have meant less battens bumping around and stalling for the shine. And I'd say that is easily the thing they are best at. Great opening with the Battens looking far, far better than they did as babyfaces. They put so much energy into getting their asses kicked. Profe's trip of Perez is a manager spot that needed to show up everywhere. Nope, just leaning my elbow on the apron, nothing going on here. Finish is a bit wonky, but seeing Profe get chased around the ring does add something. Not as much as a real finish, but the work after the hot tag was still pretty good. Heel Battens are the best Battens.

If you like great worked punches, this match is for you. Chicky has been alright with the punches so far on the set, but this match is just so above and beyond anything I've seen yet. And Embry, well, he's always been good with the punches that I've seen. I loved how committed Chicky was to the handshake here. I'll agree with Elliot that the finish was so very Chicky Starr. Please tell me these two feuded into 1991 and it is on youtube. I can see myself binge watching a bunch of 1990s Chicky Starr on youtube regardless of the opponent anyway.

Rain does make a good point. I can also see the side of the issue lowblow is coming from, trying to keep things balanced and fair. Could be this is one of those times where the rules need to be looked at as a guideline and not set in stone.
