	Taco santana vs. goy boy -- if this is the match of the 90's,
	give me HH vs. UW. i expected speed, wrestling, high flying --
	these guys looked like they were on qualudes.

	Did anyone else notice that when UT TBed snake, the snakes head landed
	on UT's knees. snakes head never touched the ground. i checked this
	several times on the tape

	IMHO -- the BEST match of the night

	When flair gets big-elbowed(tm) into the audience barrier, he went down
	unbloodied, flair flopped to the ground, put his hands to his forehead
	and came up bloody -- OOOHHH YYEEAAHH

***** whole lot of stuff about dud 8 man tag deleted, wish i could say the
	same for the match -- likewise tatanka/martel and hart/skinner

	we replayed this about 5 times -- it looked to be hellwig.
	i hate to say it, but that makeup actually does obscure his face.
	he moved like hellwig, kinda looks like him, and comparing with
	a past film, it looks like hellwig -40-50 lbs.
	almost certain it tain't KVE. the texas torpedoe doesn't have those
	moves, has about the same shoe size as hogan and is more elongated then
	UW.
	Maybe it was 
	(last chance 
	(Dare i say it 
	Steve DiSalvo??	(NAHHH)
