This stinks. I was getting stoked when Sullivan talked about them being the guys turn the limo over, but then it quickly falls apart. I would have preferred a nice relaxing conversation on Funk's Grill.

Aguayo looked huge here, I liked the spot on the first fall when they're brawling in the crowd and you can't really see anything until a row of chairs pops up and crashes down on Hamada. I always like a ground game vs high flyer story, but with the confusion of the ref bump, me not knowing if it was a 2/3 falls match, the dead crowd, and hand held camera it didn't hold my attention too well.

First off, nothing gets me STOKED like the Midnights strutting down the ramp in those robes to their post-disco synth theme. As a side note, Coast to Coast AM used to use that song as bumper music, so frequently I would wake up in the middle of the night after falling asleep with the radio on to the sound of Beautiful Bobby about to give a right hand to some chump. 1990 was a really great year for WCW tag team wrestling, and this is the big one that starts the year off. This is also the swan song for MX vs R n' R proper. I always go back and forth between this and the MX vs Southern Boys match from the summer. I generally choose this one, but we'll see. Honestly, this is my favorite MX vs R'n'R match. I've seen a decent amount, but this was the first one that I saw, and I can't deny my nostalgia for it. I love seeing what can be done within a very traditional formula. You've got Cornette throwing hands and flopping on the apron, Eaton delivering awesome right hands and high impact offense, Sweet Stan delivering some patented karate maneuvers, Morton taking one of the best beatings of his career (like someone else said, the hope spots are absolutely heart-wrenching, and Gibson showing tons of heart. To make a musical comparison, it's maybe like 80's King Crimson or something, adding a lot of depth and skill to a very pop oriented formula. Just a great, feel good match, and one of my all time favorites.

Hahaha Wilson Phillips to start disc 5. Honestly, I just now realized that all these songs are from 1990.... Anyway, back to back huge angles. Dave Brown is very nonplussed by the whole thing, and who can blame him? At this point he's like a veteran police officer who has just seen it all. Kerry comes off as such a dumb jock here, it's awesome. Like pure stereotype, with the relaxed fit jeans and mid-drift shirt. "Happy birthday." This might be my favorite Lawler promo so far actually, I love when he just turns it on and gets serious, then all of a sudden it's Nate with McDonald's. Great segment.

I'm a big fan of that 6 man from November 85. Cool start to their NWA stuff.

I just rewatched this a couple weeks ago and it didn't feel like Piper was going into business for himself. To me it just felt like he went off on a rant and got lost along the way.

Lots of good tv in 1992. 93 too but I've seen less of it. There's a Windham vs Arn 2/3 falls match in like June or something that is unreal.
