Yeah after seeing the abomination of the Heartbreak Hotel on the 1994 yearbook I have enjoyed the Brother Love segments and him getting pushed around is always a highlight. Jake was always my favorite as a kid along with Hogan and its nice to see his stuff hold up around the time I started watching unlike whiny Hogan. -

Getting Douglas for a cheaper price if true seems like an actual sensible economic move cashing in on relevant news. The match as a whole is a more tightly focused WM 5 main event match with Savage really working hard with great shots, bumping, and antics. I hate seeing the elbow be kicked out of but I guess by this point you just have to accept that as standard business. Savage dancing around at the end of the match even got a chuckle from my wife who is a tough audience to please in regards to wrestling.

Another good WCW tv match. I was not as keen on this as some of the other stuff we have seen simply because I thought the shine segment for the RNR went on too long but the spots they did were fun and when the Horseman finally got control they did a number on Ricky. Good to see all of this great wrestling going on paid off to a good rating.

Flair showcase match #3 and it is wonderful. The commentary between JR and Cornette is very good and I loved Ross commenting on the strategy of Flair realizing that Pillman has more fight than he had imagined when Flair kept trying to pin him down. They really went back and forth with each other and it was smart to make this non title so the crowd and audience really bought into Pillman having a chance. Woman was a little out of position on her spot but the finish worked well with Flair having the tights. Luger coming out at the end and decking the Horseman was a great moment inciting the crowd.

Finished up show with Alan and Dean and greatly enjoyed and was surprised at how quickly the 2 hours 45 minutes flew by. I was especially happy to hear Bill Travis get a mention and am glad that Loss continues to ring his bell because he really has been a pleasant surprise on the 1990 yearbook so far.

Real fun seeing the roots of death matches being fought out. There was a lot of laying around in this match but I sort of welcomed that especially compared to the superhuman no selling that has become par the course in death matches. The first powerbomb looked like it broke Kurisu's neck. Fun match.

First time matchup and sometimes wrestling history is funny because this is only 7.5 years until Survivor series but that feels like a lifetime from now watching this match. In contrast, it definitely doesn't feel like that much has changed since Cena first won the belt 7.5 years ago now. Basic matchup that eventually breaks down into a brawl. More here for historical purposes than as a standalone great match.

Can imagine bruno answering questions against a kid with a Nintendo on the line.
