Put this on this morning after shovelling. Started watching it for the first time. Well, I skipped the Lingerie Battle Royal and hype segments for that cause my girlfriend was in the room (I deserve all the Oh Really reactions in the world for that, I'm usually a completist.)
Good parts: It's fun to see a young Cactus Jack (who takes a backdrop on the concrete floor), DDP (well, he was already 32 at this point, which is how old I am now. I wish I had his hair though), and Madusa. Also literal underaged Jeff Jarrett? Also fun to see the other Guerrero Brothers not as old dudes. Bischoff said Eddie seconded them and there was a geeky guy who took their ring jackets that I could see someone dumbly confusing for Eddie but I don't think he was there?
Bad: Man, as soon as the show starts and I see Lee Marshall is lead PBP guy, I know this card will be NOT GREAT! This card has a few people way before their prime and a few people way past their prime and a lot of people nobody ever gave a hoot about that I'm surprised ever got a PPV check. Col DeBeers, Ricky Rice & Derek Dukes...egads. Just the whole vibe and energy of the card just screamed regional wrestling. THIS is the best that the non WWF/WCW PPVs could put forward as competition. Just them talking about "Texas Vs Tennessee" rivalries feels very bush league compared to a December 1988 WWF or WCW show. No one except JR and Verne Gagne wants pro wrestling to be comparable to college football. Crowd energy feels like it has the same vibe as when you're at a crappy house show where no one gives a fuck.
Swoop down and save me,Sting Kerry Von Erich.
