Feel like I am lower on this than everyone else because I am very unforgiving on how quickly Muto blew off the leg work. I have no problem with long mat work in the middle of the match as long as it is interesting and tells a great story. It was interesting here and a good cool down after the hot opening. The struggle and jockeying were well performed but then Muto makes his comeback hitting his backspring elbow, kip ups, dropkicks, and huge dives to the outside. The moves are impressive but the logic is lacking and I disconnected from the match. I would still classify it as a good match but I really wish the logic holes would have been filled because this had the structure of a hidden great match.

This match has the following things going against it: 1. Luger being legit sick and looking miserable. On the way to the ring he tells the cameraman to get the fuck out of the way. 2. One of those huge thunderdome, cheap looking cages that are hard to integrate into the match. 3. One of the dumbest finishes in history with a complete cheap feeling, Ole gaining control of the cage, El Gigante coming out to no response, and the Horseman hanging out right next to Gigante with him standing there picking his nose. With these overbearing parameters it truly is amazing that this is a very good match. Flair was wonderful and his blade job and bumping were sick. I really have to give credit to Luger because as sick as he was and as fucked over he might have felt, he still gave a courageous performance. Sting attacking Luger at the end was a good visual moment but I agree with Loss that a lot of traction was lost for that match up with the result of this one. This may be one of the most interesting matches in wrestling history to evaluate.

Fuck this crowd because this was great. I thought all 3 out of the 4 men were great in this match and Z - Man was also good. The FIP work on Pillman was gripping and the way the MX worked the match was genius. A really good tag match that shockingly may be the worst MX match on PPV in 1990.

Cant add much to Loss and Peters excellent description but this really was something special and as a 15 minute segment had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The two things I would like to reiterate is how awesome Eddie Marlin is and the uniqueness of the camera angles in making it look more like a shoot.

A damn good match. One thing I am surprised about knowing the history coming up between Dandy/Azteca is how good the exchanges between Dandy/Atlantis are. I really wish the 6/8 title match between the two would surface up. The shoulder injury was played well here and I liked the pinfall reversal to end the final fall.
