[1991-11-22-CMLL] Los Brazos vs MS-1 & Pirata Morgan & El Satanico
Great trios match. Satanico can make anything interesting and is opening matwork was inspiring. I thought everyone here looked really fresh and it was the perfect mixture of comedy, wrestling, strikes, and dives. The finish to the first fall with the triple sunset flip was amazing and topped by the leaning tower of Infernales to end the second fall. The final fall felt really dramatic and featured great selling on the submission moves and an insane dive by porky. Awesome Brazo's trios.

[1991-WWA] Los Brazos vs Pirata Morgan & Emilio Charles Jr & MS-1
Pretty heavy schtick match but a fun one at that. There were a couple of instances in the butt spot where the execution was way off but I sort of knew what the match was all about at that point so I went along with it. Nothing consequential but a good breather between a very serious wrestling disc so far.

[1991-11-21-AJPW-Real World Tag League] Mitsuharu Misawa & Toshiaki Kawada vs Kenta Kobashi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi
I like how this set up the feuds of Kobashi vs. Kawada/Misawa to come. They showed a lot of fire here and mixed in some interesting stuff like the crab Kikuchi puts on Kawada. The huge moonsault to the knees that Kobashi takes and their double team moves trying to hang on. Greatly enjoyable match.

[1991-11-19-WCW-Clash of the Champions VII] Arn Anderson & Larry Zbyszko vs Ricky Steamboat & Dustin Rhodes
If asked to close my eyes and think about US tag team wrestling, this match pops immediately in my mind. So much classic stuff like Steamboat's return, the Enforcers freak out, all the short cuts they take through the match, Steamboat showing more fire and viciousness than usual, and then a great hot finish that had the crowd go rabid. Perfect stuff for the time allotted. I could watch this match on a loop and be happy.

SOA cleans trash in his wrestling uniform. Embrys laugh is quite awesome and fits how ridiculous this is. SOA states that is the type of trash he wants to clean up around here.

Thankfully it seems like these are over as Slaughter has his country back which he decides to announce to a group of kids.

[1991-11-16-WCW-Pro] Terrence Taylor & Richard Morton & Thomas Rich vs Big Josh & Dustin Rhodes & Tom Zenk (Cage)
Glad we get the cage match conclusion to this series even though the heat was lackluster and the action at time felt a step back from the two matches. I question the decision to have Zenk as FIP and the finish with Dustin giving a dropkick was anticlimatic. Still glad we saw this whole mid card feud.

[1991-11-16-AJPW-Real World Tag League] Mitsuharu Misawa & Toshiaki Kawada vs Stan Hansen & Dan Spivey
This match ruled. Perfect length and pace. Hansen started off as a complete bad ass attacking Misawa and then going into a slap exchange with Kawada. They work him over and SPivey holds his on. Misawa comes firing back on all cylinders and the crowd is losing it. His victory feels really well earned and a big victory for him. Super stuff.

[1991-11-15-AJW] Manami Toyota & Akira Hokuto vs Toshiyo Yamada & Kyoko Inoue
I like all involved but couldnt get into this one at all as it seemed aimless for most of the time and did indeed have a lot of slop like others have mentioned. Really disappointing and long. This disc overall has been an enigma of good to great matches that come out of nowhere and then backed up with disappointing stuff.

[1991-11-13-WWF-New Haven, CT] Ric Flair vs Bret Hart
Really good stuff between these two besides Lord Al and Mooney on commentary. Flair looked motivated and added some new touches like the test of strength, the punch battle, and the work on the leg to set up the figure four. The finish was cheap but worked for me here and kind of played up what would happen at Survivor Series. Really good stuff and Flair looking like Flair.

[1991-11-10-WCW-Main Event] Terrence Taylor & Richard Morton & Thomas Rich vs Big Josh & Dustin Rhodes & Tom Zenk
Good continuation of last weeks match including an awesome finish where you think Big Josh has got one over on the York Foundation again and then shows concern for his former friend Thomas Rich costing him. Terry Taylor and Morton being a prick on the apron were both highlights. Good indicator of some of the really good WCW tv stuff coming up in 1992.
