We get the excedrin headache # 9 joke in this match. Brawling looked a little off to me but it may just be that I am so unaccustomed to see Steamer in that type of match. I loved everything Fuller did in his match and the post match and it felt like a pretty big moment for his career. I don't see how it was so obvious him and Borne were in collusion though.

Fascinating match to watch in retrospect. In as many ways as I was shocked by how bad the Misawa/Kobashi match earlier was even at that stage in their career, I was equally amazed by how good this was in certain sequences. I especially loved the beginning and the kick sequence on the outside and the beautiful dive by Kobashi. I also thought the ending run was really nice. The middle 18 minutes were filled with some uninspired work but also some neat stuff and at least you could really tell that both workers were trying really hard. Tough match to rank but enjoyed it quite a bit.

Fuck Averno is a perfect name. 00's really seem like a weird beast in that more stuff than usual will have to be revisited to see if it holds up especially in regards to the US indy stuff of the early decade.

How well known is this match? I had literally never heard of it to watching it here and it is fantastic and includes many of the elements I really love about pro wrestling. Taking someone I have never heard of (Kurisu) and making me look for more because of how awesome he was. Taking someone I usually hate (koshinaka) and making him likeable. Giving us another glimpse of Hoshino. Choshu and Animal doing there thing. Tarzan looking like a bastard. I could go on and on but part of the beauty of this match was watching the sequences develop.

Think this is tough to articulate. If you ask how many of the current WWE viewers each week have heard of Brody and watched a match, I think the percentage is closer to that 10% but that is not including a lot of fans including you and me Parv or even someone like my dad that if he was asked in a random poll on the street if he likes pro wrestling he would say yes, even though he hasn't watched since the attitude era.

Thanks for the comments shoe. I had the MX heat thing as a bullet point just forgot to mention it. It is real interesting to watch them work this way because both here and in 1990 the match so engaging by how smart they worked without a manager, but the crowd heat suffered. The Baltimore crowd did help this card a good deal I think being right there with the performers even on the main event when they thought Luger had won. I would have the Windham/Dusty match much higher if Dusty would have toned down the hulking up and the claw segment would have been edited down a couple of minutes.

I was disappointed to see Pringle go back to be even more straight laced a month after his big angle. Jeannie's promo had some great moments and also some moments where you could see her trying to remember what to say. The jobber match was good and may honestly be some of the best in ring Austin we have seen. Real good pull apart with all 4 competitors at the end.
