It is going to be tough to be objective with all the Hogan stuff because you know how much shit lasted till mid - 96 but I am trying to watch everything like it is the first time. The match was almost strictly a vehicle to get Flair booed for the Hogan run in. Flair does an admirable job and when Hogan comes down at the end, he gets a big pop and the crowd is jacked. I was really frustrated with Sting no selling in this match and the SHerri turn was stupid as hell, did her a Flair decide that Sting would try to fly outside at one point right where she would be standing? Anyway it does feel like the end of an era as everything important with the company now is emphasized through Hogan.

Yeah pretty bad to come from the KOTR main event to getting Duke as your next assignment. It didnt take long for Duke to fall out of favor with the crowd because he comes out to almost not reaction and only gets one when he insults Jerry. Decent beatdown at the end by lawler but I was not excited watching this.

Was this song even a hit, I don't think I have ever heard it. Seeing this song after the Coolio one with Public Enemy makes USWA feel real out of date. Christopher cuts a real good promo backstage. Good studio beatdown handed out on Christopher.

Hearing Art again made me seek out youtube and thankfully there is a twelve minute video of his greatness on this PPV. God only knows how frustrated Randy and Gorilla were at the end of the night. The story of the Anvil turn was actually really clever but the match here didn't deliver and was disappointing given it was one of Owen's showcase moments.

Sort of sad to revisit one of my favorite matches as a kid and see it doesn't hold up as I had a lot of problems with this. First, Bret's promo was pretty bad before this as he almost had a I just kicked your leg out of your leg moment. Second, who the hell thought this commentary team would be good. Art asks if Shawn Michaels is a wrestler and is demanding to know if each guy played football. Thankfully he toned it down some once the match started. Gorilla was not as his worst here but didn't do great chastising Bret for going for the sharpshooter too early and yelling at the referee for counting Diesel's shoulders even though they were down in the figure four. The main problem I have with this though is how Diesel was treated. He may have been in over his head being in this marquee a match so soon but he did a decent job. His selling of the punches where he falls on the ropes is great. I thought many sections in this match were too even. Bret dominates the beginning minutes way too much for my liking and I don't think Bret should have been going toe to toe and actually gaining the advantage through punches against Diesel. Shawn takes the same great bump he took in the Razor/ Diesel title change. The ending did make Diesel look relatively strong as he layed Bret out with the Jack knife but I thought it was too little too late to save the punishment he received in the previous 20 minutes.
