Wrestling Culture Episode 21
Another great show that got me pumped for the set. Will brought the opinions and venom, Kris brought history and perspective, Dylan brought sound arguments, and Dave directed traffic and inserted his trademark inappropriate jokes.

[1994-05-14-WCW-Saturday Night] Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat
I prefer the Spring Stampede match but this was great also. I thought this lost a little steam at the end and that the overall selling was less than the SS match. Flair did better working brawling spots into this. Crowd was pretty terrible even in the ending run. Overall I think both of these matches are good bookends on their 1989 feud.

[1994-05-14-USWA-TV] Eddie Gilbert celebration
Yeah I don't know if there was stuff played up that we didn't see with Gilbert proving loyalty but the way it worked, Lawler looked stupid and Jarrett looks even worse turning in a week. Have mixed emotions like Loss, the work is fine and everyone plays their role well, but it was too quick and felt desperate. I also thought that the Dream Machine/ Lawler feud was fine and actually felt pretty fresh in Memphis as does Doug vs. Christopher so as much as I like Lawler and Eddie it just feels so rehashed.

[1994-05-14-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Bret Hart
Yeah the Owen reasoning here was suspect but the Diesel portion was well and officially kick starts their feud for KOTR.

[1994-05-07-WCW-Saturday Night] Interview: Ric Flair & Arn Anderson
I have enjoyed Flair in the Steamboat series since the emphasis on Hogan got downplayed. Wonder if they had more plans for the horseman to combat Hogan.

[1994-05-06-UWFi] Kiyoshi Tamura vs Naoki Sano
Very good shoot style match, I always have a hard time describing these matches because of the jockeying for position but I do think in many ways it is a style that is pretty easy to see what is a good representation and bad representation and this clearly aired on the side of good.

[1994-05-05-FMW-5th Anniversary Show] Genichiro Tenryu vs Atsushi Onita (No Rope Exploding Barbed Wire Cage Death)
Brilliant way of using the cage to turn the momentum in the match. The only time that it didn't completely turn the time was when Tenryu in the end got frustrated and threw Onita in it basically sealing the match for him. Great match that if it featured less charismatic competitors would have been pretty bad but with these two, it worked masterfully.

Much better than the previous promo with Paul E doing a good job conveying the history.
