[1991-06-22-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Jerry Lawler
Only time I've seen fans/ringside personnel running away like that is when Stan Hansen gets pissed off after losing to Tenryu via roll-up and starts tearing up ringside. Love seeing everyone just scurrying out of the way when that chainsaw starts getting close. Leatherface is a way better worker than I expected. I will agree that the tease of Lawler getting his revenge on Embry is brilliantly done.

Seems like a pretty good idea for a more wrestling-friendly shootstyle.

[1991-06-18-AJW] Aja Kong & Bison Kimura vs Bull Nakano & Kyoko Inoue
I liked seeing Aja finally come into her own as a badass here. It doesn't look like she's ready to beat Bull in a singles match, but she's way closer than she's been. Bison always looks really weak to me even on her own, but you put Aja and Bull in the ring at the same time and it stands out. Never cared much for Kyoko and I don't here.

The idea of a Liger vs. Fuchi match is so amazing.

[1991-06-15-WWF-Superstars] update: Andre the Giant/Earthquake recap
At least they have an excuse now to let Andre use some kind of support to walk. Had to be hard on the guy.

[1991-06-15-WCW-Saturday Night] Interview: The Hardliners
I think it was after they had beaten up on Ricky with the boot. Either way, murdoch is still a good promo and I am liking this angle in comparison to most of WCW at this point.

[1991-06-14-WCW-Clash of the Champions XV] Rick & Scott Steiner vs Masa Chono & Hiroshi Hase
Where to start? This definitely was an upgrade over all but the Pillman/Horsemen tag in terms of action. Crowd was huge for it. Imagine if it had been for the Steiner's belts, you know, the WCW ones these fans care about. Question 1: Why do the fans in Atlanta give the first 1/64th of a fuck about Japanese tag belts? Question 2: How is it Scott understands what a hot tag is supposed to work when he's a babyface like this and not when he's the heel in Japan? Question 3: Where are you getting your info from JR? If there is a leader of this team it's Chono. Seven days of the week and any you might make up. Moving on, Scott with one of the most misjudged top rope moves in a big match of all time with that attempted break-up of the STF. Finish is fine, and I'm all for seeing Dick Murdoch come in and punch the crap out of everything that moves. But this is what you had to resort to as far as challengers to the Steiners? How long is this conceivably going to last given the age of Murdoch and Slater? Are there other, younger tag teams on the horizon that will be built up for the end of this feud? Recent history suggests no. The fact that this is the least of WCW's messes at the time says a ton.

[1991-06-14-WCW-Clash of the Champions XV] Johnny B. Badd and P.N. News
The toned down version of Johnny B. Badd is far easier to see going somewhere. Yeah, he still looks like an effeminate heel, but you could actually buy him as Adrian Street meeting Little Richard a little bit here, unlike the first time. Pepa and Spinderella were a complete waste. I have to say I respect their acting chops for their little pretend PN News isn't completely awful routine. And my recollection is that PN News was awful in the ring from listening to Parv and Chad go through old WCW PPVs.

[1991-06-14-WCW-Clash of the Champions XV] Paul E. Dangerously and Jason Hervey
I found Heyman's smashing of the phone over Hervey's head to be cathartic. In a sea of awful Dusty nonsense, we finally get a shining moment of heroism. From Paul E. And since J.R. and Tony are so shocked and appalled by the violence, there is a slow-mo replay. I liked this more. Probably going to Hell, but it's so worth it. And did it look to anyone else like Paul E. didn't take as much off of that shot as he could have? Also, pleasant.

[1991-06-12-NJPW-Fighting Connection] Jushin Liger vs Norio Honaga
I liked this match as well and thought it was the right match for the circumstances. Honaga trying to match up to Liger and missing the dive completely was awesome both in concept and execution. Did anyone else get the "master of the Diamond Cutter" vibe off of how many ways Honaga has gotten his lariat/neckbreaker deal in this series? I liked how Liger was ready for all of Honaga's shit early too, skinning the cat, rolling him up when he went for the mask ripping. It made more sense that Honaga would keep it more on the level when all of his heel bullshit wasn't working. I dig the baseball slide-into-sunset flip deal too, very interesting take on the move. It kind of ties into the way Honaga overcomes his lack of athleticism compared to other juniors. He's always finding ways to even the playing field, Liger was ahead of the game on his big one (cheating) and didn't go overboard, so Liger got the win.
