Semp is fantastic on this show.

 

Only through WWF and Japan so far, but the Pee-Wee Herman and Wrestlefest talk could be Best Of Volume 2 contenders.

God I would have loved a "Masters of the Maze" match because I have no idea how that would work

Interesting show as always. Thanks so much for your efforts.

 

You were mentioning Sam Houston in WCW, well there is a TV match with Ric Flair from right before Flair left which I remember thinking was odd at the time because I'd never seen Houston before and never saw him again. I also remember finding the match really exciting, but I'd have only been nine when I saw it and I've not seen it since so I'm not sure how it would seem today. Funny that it's stuck in my mind for 25 years though.

 

Incidentally, if you want to track it down, Cagematch have it as the Main Event taping on 5-1-91.
