Well this turned into a real cluster. Feels like this program has run out of steam, and their effort to keep it going with Pringle and Chris has actually had the opposite effect; it's taken too much focus from what had been a hot issue. Part of the problem is Kerry's vast limitations at this point but they also don't appear to know what to do with Borne post-turn either.

These guys have great chemistry together. The finishing sequence looked really great and Atlantis looked like a star getting two quick wins in succession like that. Dandy and Satanico are great in this.

JYD is blown up after the first sequence of the match. Way to come in for your main event run in good shape, dude. This isn't good, but by no fault of Flair as he works hard, but can't solve the riddle of how to work with JYD, and then the shit finish on top. If I didn't know any better, I'd think Ole was trying to bury the Horsemen. But really, none of the heels looked good on this show, and it makes things flat heading into the GAB, hot ending with Sting and Flair aside.

I was going to comment on how this felt different from previous RnR/MX matches but then Loss explained why. Good on them for not sticking with the formula and trying something new. For the first time with a new layout, this isn't bad at all, and given the workers and minds involved, I'm sure with a few matches to work out the kinks, they could have made this match work too, especially with a better finish. Seriously, can the MX beat ANYBODY at this point?

Okay, so my falling asleep during this match wasn't just me being tired. I did like parts of this as it was nice and violent, but too long. Just as an aside, but did Hansen in 1990 have, from a kayfabe standpoint, one of the best years ever? He headlined shows for WCW and New Japan, won the US title, wrestled Hulk Hogan (just after his first peak) in the main event of a show that did huge business at the Tokyo Dome, all while headlining all year for All Japan and getting a run as Triple Crown champ. Even beyond his ring work being mostly superb, that's a damned good year.

I think it was Paul Diamond. Diamond was one of the trainers at Michaels' school at the time.

It would be nice to get a sense of the programs that Atlas is involved with here, but knowing ICW and how rarely they kept people around from taping to taping, there might not have really been any programs. Still, Atlas should be working for a territory or promotion where he can actually do something rather than these generic "I'm the man" promos.

Percy does a fine job as a heel manager insulting Chris Von Erich, but man...knowing how Chris' story ends, less than a year after this, it really makes what he's saying here sting a little more. Not Pringle's fault, he had no idea what would happen, but it's still hard to watch nonetheless.

Orndorff and Sting seem fired up, and sometimes being high energy can carry a promo far. Still doesn't have me caring one iota about the Clash, though.
