Posted June 21, 201114 yr comment_5474626 Brian Costello v. Mitch Snow The ropes look dangerously loose in this. Really loved the rope running spots in this as Snow does this timber drop down spot and they build to a great monkey flip. Then Costello goes to do the same thing and gets the old drop down fistdrop which is one of my favorite "gotcha" exchanges in wrestling. Cool moment with Costello cutting off a top rope attempt from Snow with a pretty sick looking belly to back. He briefly takes control but runs into a nasty punch from Snow off the ropes. Costello takes a sick dropkick and Snow goes up top again with Costello pursuing behind quickly to hit another suplex. Snow backflips off and hits his "Slam Jam" finish. This was shockingly good. This goes almost exactly five minutes to the second but I fucking loved it and fuck it I'm nominating it even though I doubt it will hold up to scrutiny. Adrian Adonis v. Art Washington Really short squash Kevin Kelly/Madusa promo. Nick Bockwinkel v. Curt Hennig We have this nominated already. Curt Hennig promo. Another good Hennig promo from the era. Steve O v. Kelly Kiniski This was interesting as it had almost an exhibition feel to it. Lots of roll ups and general mat exchanges though they all looked pretty good. Kiniski ends up working heelish as the match goes along and actually tries to use a Boston Crab leaning on the ropes ala Hansen in his AWA title win v. Martel. Anyway for a match that ultimately didn't mean shit and had two totally colorless guys this went pretty long but also never felt really boring. Some sloppy stuff toward the end, but Kiniski did take a cool bump toward the end at least.
