Work in this was really good and besides Arn/Tully and maybe the Andersons, Flair/Barry is probably my favorite Horseman team. They seem to compliment each other really well. Finish was stupid and El Gigante has reached his shelf life in my eyes.

Thanks for the kind words JazeUSA.

This is a great tv match that showcased the best aspects of Windham and Pillman. Barry was relentless on the arm/shoulder work and him having to result to pulling the tights to get the victory was super. The post match with Pillman coming back was awesome. They created a big issue feud with just this match and the callbacks to wargames.

Sad that the MSC is no more right now but they did a good job of creating a community atmosphere and highlighting the assets of the new building. Some of these fans comments would be touted if they happened today. Lawler vs. Embry clips looked good and the match seemed more heated than the cage match we just saw in Texas.

Damian is one of the most feared members of the WWF locker room. I think the snake fearing stuff was such a crutch to start an issue that they kept going back to the well. I admit that it still worked for me as hokey as it is because Jake had an edge to him that most babyfaces in the WWF didn't this time where he would use the psychological advantage of his friend Damian.

After watching a ton of NWA lately, this match was pretty refreshing for me to see the ace of a promotion have a competitive match but certainly dictate the action and feel dominant throughout. Kawada had a lot of nice moments in this but Jumbo was always able to weather the storm and eventually pick up the victory. Jumbo especially stomping to the back clearing his head was awesome. Great match.

Low tech version of their match but good stuff overall and it was refreshing to see how much they had improved and gained confidence in themselves in just one year. Kobashi is still fiery but a little more focused and restrained. Misawa has taken the biggest leap from a junior wrestler that could look frantic and be inconsistent to someone who has enough confidence in his ability to work a match in this fashion that is 80% dominated by matwork.

Too short to be anything substantial but a great, holy crap these guys wrestled match and Hogan looke really sharp considering he was just in a beefy brawl the night before. Good technical stuff but Yatsu really lost a lot of his substantial stature from 1989 to here.

I would never call Jericho vs. PUnk a MOTYC but it was a good match. I have really liked this show so far though as all the matches have been good minus Kane/Ambrose and the crowd has been hot.

This was weird as hell and I either have never heard about it or have forgotten. The 3 minute staredown was something to behold.

I like Dusty as an interviewer and can't recall him doing it before. I always liked how they built Windham's potential and athletic ability throughout his career even when he was a heel. I would have liked to have seen where this stuff was leading as this was an interesting start that could have been a cool angle.
