I don't think Toyota would have detracted anything, although as it is the teams were just perfectly fit. Just glad Yumiko Hotta wasn't around to fuck something up. Oh, that's right, she was on the undercard fucking up Plum Mariko's brain with a fucking near criminal kick on the blind side of Plum's head. -
Wait a minute, now that I think of it, the match I'm refering too involves Fukuoka I think, and that's the one which Hotta really came close to ruining because she treated Fukuoka like a jobber. I guess Hotta had to be more cooperative here, I don't remember the specifics though. Still, that doesn't change one bit of what I said about Hotta.

Many years ? Isn't Rey Rey really banged up at this point ? Aren't his knees shot ?

Johnny Cash didn't write and recorded songs to be judged by French guys in 2011 listening to it on an iPod while cycling through Paris. Yet, Johnny Cash's songs still sound awesome.

Just what a Dome Show match is supposed to be. Two guys beating the hell out of each other, nothing fancy, but damn it works. (Fun facts : Tenryu screwed up way more things in that match that Ultimo did earlier in the night, and while Ultimo actually did way more impressive stuff afterward and totally got back into the mood (and along with Liger got the crowd into a frenzy), Tenryu's screwing up over and over ended up totally deflating the crowd at points, especially with that awful powerbomb spot which they had to re-do as it was the finish. It sure looks as if they weren't on the same page at all at times, but Tenryu looked pretty *bad* at points here while Choshu was the one bringing it. Yep, not a strong showing for Tenryu at all and certainly both Ultimo vs Liger & Muta vs Chono were much better matches, hell I enjoyed Hellraisers vs Steiners a lot more too)

There's not many joshi worker I actively can't stand, but Hotta sure became one of this very restricted club when I watched shiloads of early 90's joshi some time ago. I was never a big fan, but man this girl took a nosedive on my scale. My recollection of this match is "Thank god for Inoue, and thank god for Oz & Dyno, they are so good they can't get dragged down by Hotta who I thought sucked ass here". Hotta kicks hard, and usually with no notion of protecting her opponent, and that's about it. She's a terrible mat worker, she's mediocre at everything else, she's sloppy and dangerous, she's selfish, she acts like she's a big star and doesn't give shit to whomever she works with to protect her gimmick. I can't stand her. She was involved in a number of great matches because she was surrounded by the best of the best in a era where the level of work was ridiculously high, but that's about it. I'd be happy to never have to watch anything involving Hotta ever again, really.

This is going to be ugly...

Greatest match ever. Great work, great booking, great heat. Just perfect.

Yeah, bad finish for a good Rumble match. Backlund going the distance (before it became a total yearly gimmick which I hate) was great (and again, French announcer Guy Hauray gave probably his best performance ever making fun of him during the whole match, my father and I can still drop his favourite line from this match 18 years later), you got Flair and Perfect going at it, Lawler debuting, a rather great debut for Giant Gonzalez (well, ok, he sucked, but 15 year old me thought this was cool as hell), you got oddball guys like Tenryu and Carlos Colon. Really good Rumble match I thought.

Great debut, just amazing production to launch a guy in the promotion. The Narcissist, as goofy as he sounded, was the perfect gimmick for Luger because that's what he basically was. I was so disapointed when they turned him patriotic face later in the year, I thought Luger was destined to be a heel WWF champ. Ironically, WCW did a much better job with the Narcissist gimmick in late 99 and 2000, which made Luger fun again after years.

Choshu not only was a way bigger star than Bret as an active performer in the 80's both in NJ and AJ, but was also a great booker for NJ in the first half of the 90's and drew shitloads of money booking the rise of the 3 Musketeers and Tenryu vs NJ. He lost his touch with the UWF-i feud, and the Sasaki push, but Choshu really was magic for a good 10-15 years.

Am I the only one seeing the irony ? So do you think that ECW match were Benoit had the tantrum in was scripted or called in the ring? I have no idea what you're refering to, I never watched WWECW. I'm saying how ironic is this that Chris Benoit of all people was supposed to pre-planned his matches beforehand in WWE because WWE produced guys can't work a lick, and that his memory slipping means he actually had to work like he always did, on the fly. Benoit supposedly trashed the notes DDP brought him for their PPV match in WCW, and at this point of his career, he's working on the fly because *his memory slipped*... Man.

He got fired roughly at the same time Cornette and Mantell were. I think it was just after Bischoff and Hogan came in.
