Paul E. vs Madusa:


yawn

-----

Johnny B. Badd vs Scotty Flamingo:

I don't enjoy watching boxing, but this was a decent matchup.  The
ring girl wasn't bad either.  And I won $75.00 to boot.  :-)

-----

Brad Armstrong vs Brian Pillman:

This was the first "match" of the night.  Pillman was out on a crutch
saying he hurt his knee, that he now knew how Armstrong felt at the
last Clash, and allowed Brad to hit him.  Naturally, as soon as Brad
turned his back, Brian attacked with the crutch.  Anyone *not* see
that one coming as soon as they started the interview?  A 30 second
match followed with Brian winning (still in street clothes).

Battle Bowl drawing:  

Dan Spivey (he's still with WCW, huh?) and Cactus Jack
    vs
Van Hammer and Vinnie Vegas (not sure if it was Vegas or not, actually)

-----

Watts/Sasaki vs AA/BB

This was somehow WORSE than I had feared.  Sure I knew Erik was going to
get the pinfall, but I was hoping for some decent moves from Sasaki--he
looked so good in the one or two matches I saw last month from Japan
on WCW.

-----

A good interview before the match with Hayes.  "Erik--you think I hate
you cuzza yer old man... let me tell you something--I'd hate your guts
if your last name was 'Hayes." (or something to that effect).

-----

A video of Z-Man and Johhny Gunn patterned after ZZ Top's "Sharp
Dressed Man" with executive-dressed bimbos drooling as they measured
Zenk's inseam.  Guess Gunn isn't history as was guessed at recently 
in this newsgroup.

-----

The biggest highlight for ME so far (I haven't seen the last 60 minutes
of the card yet, but it looks like a Sting/Rude time limit draw) was
the ghetto odds match.

Robbie Walker seems to have been replaced by some other person I
didn't recognize.  My first reaction:  "great... Robbie missed his 
flight or got injured or wanted money or something and they made a
last-minute replacement with someone who will somehow be LESS of
a wrestler than Walker".  Gawd was I surprised and glad to be
proven wrong!!! (sorry--that warranted three exclamation points)

They never gave an explanation why Robbie wasn't there.  Jim Ross 
just acted dumb (I'm assuming it was an act :-)

Not only didn't Ross and Ventura know the fifth man's name--they
even let him get the pinfall over one of the three (don't even 
recall which of Cactus, Atlas, and Barbarian got beat).  This guy
was doing flips into the ring, flips out of the ring, plancha dives
over the top rope to the padding-less floor (camera caught the tail 
end of this), FULL 360+ degree flips off the top turnbuckle (for the 
pin), a flip off the top turnbuckle (which missed, but Cactus Jack
sold anyway)...  if they don't sign this guy ("Too Cold Scorpio"
is what his name turned out to be) I say we start sending mail-
bombs to Bill Watts!

People on this group know I don't usually heap praise on a
wrestler (exceptions being The Lightning Kid and occasionally
Cactus Jack and Brian Pillman)--but this guy was pretty damn 
awesome!  They should have ended the card with this match.  I
almost hate to go back and watch the last hour now, but rest 
assured that the TCS match is going on my permanant tape.
