Seems like most enjoyed this segment but I think it is getting undersold as on the spectrum of campy WWF fun and Hennan getting humiliated, I would put this on part with the "wet weasel" stuff. Bossmans mom whacking him with the purse got the biggest pop out of me in the yearbook so far and I loved the delight the crowd had.

TOns of stuff going on in this one. Macho's promo seemed a little subtle in the fact that he wasn't as "Macho King" as we have seen before. No scepter and his outfit looked like something from the slim jim era. He gives another good promo here. I also liked seeing the celebrities actually look comfortable in doing their spots to promote the show. One thing about this show is that on paper Valentine vs. Quake and Bulldog vs. Warlord look like filler matches so to speak but really besides the Bravo vs. KVE match, everything on WM 7 has gotten a bit of hype and made sense making them more than filler matches in the bigger context. This has been one of my favorite builds to a WM and it is a shame that they hastily booked the Coliseum making this show forever seen as a financial disappointment.

Nice set of matches. That Eaton vs. Flair match really is a match that resonates with me. I think it is not well known but I certainly think one of the 2-3 best tv matches in WWF/WCW between 1990 and the 1994 yearbook. It also is a great match of "what could have been" with Flair still looking like the quiessential man and Eaton showing he could have really been at the least a great upper mid card singles guy that should have had lots of chances to shine in 1991 after Lane/Cornette bolted. Interesting that you were lower on Kobashi/Hansen. I have seen that match around 10 times and still think it is utterly fantastic and at worst the 3rd match of 1993. I also figured it would work better for most on a rewatch style based on the type of match it was. Haven't seen Taue vs. Kobashi in a while but am looking forward to it when I get to 1996 considering I am really starting to contemplate Kobashi as the GOAT based on the stuff I have rewatched of him.

I would say the short list would consist of: 1. Hansen 2. Bockwinkel 3. Savage 4. Steamboat 5. Rose I think after this you get a mixture of guys I could see a little case for including Tully, Dibiase, Martel, Backlund, Gordy, Martel, Valentine, and even Slaughter but I wouldn't put them above the top 5 I listed. Posted originally before Loss responded but Hogan crossed my mind to. I do believe if you include the Japan stuff the US wrestlers did Hansen is the definitive fourth with the Tenryu series in 1988, the Hansen/Tenryu tags in 1989, Jumbo match in 1986, the Baba series, Backlund Series, Hennig series, Colon series, and the classic Andre match in 1981.

Really liked the main event and lesnar's selling was damn great. Pretty good PPV overall.
-
Cena vs. Ryback - certainly rybacks best match. Good dramatic spots and the finish leaves a lot that can be done.
-
Ive got to say Im impressed/surprised with the reaction Show/Orton has gotten
-
Orton vs. Show - A match I think some may think was too slow and plodding but it was great and made a ton of sense. I also thought for sure Orton was losing after the RKO so I loved that we got him bringing back the punt to put Show away.
-
Shield vs. Hell NO - Fun match with a ton of action and a great nearfall and save with the spear. Shield's finisher looked pretty damn good and I am glad they have the gold.
-
Del Rio vs. Swagger- Best match of the night so far and they were working pretty stiff. Finish was great and kept everyone strong then took a turn into Looney Tune territory.
-
Sheamus vs. henry - some interesting strategy with the strap and I liked Sheamus walking on the outside. Not enough strap shots though and I don't like Sheamus winning. Pretty good match but a tad disappointing overall.
-
Ambrose vs. Kofi - Kofi annoyed the hell out of me tonight with his jumpy offense but the booking went about as good as possible so no complaints here.
-
Miz - Rhodes was pretty fun with some body control work from Cody. Not bad for 5 minutes. Jericho vs. Fandango was pretty good and I liked the finish with Johnny Curtis trying to overcompensate and getting caught.

Really interesting promo with Jarrett wanting revenge but both Lawler and Gilbert not wanting to give up their shot at the belt. I don't know really where this is going.
