The line between a bullying delusional heel and burial is a tough one for me to distinguish. I can see how insulting something about a person that is generally seen a positive attribute (muscles in this case) could be effective for a heel to do, since it shows him to be jealous and petty. But at the same time, attacking what might be the face's only positive attribute and calling them stupid can be counterproductive. I don't know, after seeing the Mike Awesome promo after this it really makes Awesome look bad. -

I really wanted to see Warrior seek council from his lawyer.

This is my favorite match from the company so far. Honestly, I can't tell when it's Memphis and when it's Texas, so it's all just "Memphis" to me. I thought Terrence Garvin was a lady from the crowd and he and Billy Jo were kissing at one point, so it was just everyone kissing all over the place. Great less is more match here, fully entertaining and great and completely useless from an in ring perspective, which is a compliment.

Awesome roll reversal. Great use of experimenting with the rolls within a traditional match structure like this. Ricky's scrappy punches are great. There's a great shot at one point where Morton is laying on the mat and his hair is spread out, an it looks like he's laying in a pool of Predator blood.

Like other peoe I have no memory of this. I hope there's some matches on here from them.

I've heard El Dandy is one of the best in the world in 1990 so it'll be cool to watch the upcoming matches of his. It's a cool aspect of lucha that it seems like the alignments are common knowledge that's presented to the audience rather than implied by actions and promos. So with that said, I guess El Dandy is becoming a rudo here? I picked up on that but honestly I was just confused and thought I missed something before reading this thread. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with understanding lucha. It just feels SO foreign to me. But I've watched luchadores in Mexico and the U.S. and stuff so I don't know. It is very stylized and maybe that combined with the cultural barrier just makes it more difficult.

This is my favorite lucha match so far. The pacing and arm work felt a bit more comfortable to me. The 2/3 falls still throws me off because they aren't really built like American 2/3 falls matches are, so that's still a struggle, but I feel like I'm learning. Jerry Estrada seemed out of his mind at times, and I've heard people say that he was s guy who really struggled with things outside the ring, but he was good and took some gnarly bumps. Cool.

I've been doing a re-watch of '97 WCW and WWF on a week-to-week basis since sometime last year. And I *just* saw that segment a few months ago. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it went down on a PPV - SuperBrawl or Uncensored maybe? Somewhere around that time frame. ... ... ... Modern wrestling needs a new Mean Gene. Absolutely unafraid to push buttons in interviews, telling fans to get their parents permission to subscribe to his YouTube channel, plugging his Twitter feed, constantly making crass comments on the air, and just generally wandering to ringside every now & then to catch a "scoop" as soon as a match is wrapping up.

I can see where you're coming from, but I'd say their partnership with the Komen group is worse. Those people trying to bully others about breast cancer is about as scummy as it gets. I forgot about the Koman stuff. Yeah I think I agree with you.
