Michael Reviews…Clash of Champions #8 “Fall Brawl ‘89″

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

NWA Clash of Champions #8

"Fall Brawl '89"

September 12, 1989

Carolina Coliseum - Columbia, South Carolina

 

-  Rummaging through my storage, I came across my 450+ tapes of wrestling that I have amassed over the past 23 years.  For personal reasons, I wanted to jump on this one because it is the only major televsion taping from my hometown outside of a Raw, Smackdown, Nitro, or Thunder.

Summerslam Main Events: Summerslam 1992

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Sorry I've been in the basement for a good bit but family vacations come before all else and I needed the Caribbean sun and the ABC Islands were more than willing to provide it for me.

I still will get all these Main Events done by the 15th because the Princess never the Kingdom down.

Anyway Summerslam 1992, it's one of the great WWF/E of yesteryear and it was a pretty risky move by Vince deciding to hold this sucker in England but a crowd of 80K+ proved the risk worth taking.

Both halves of the Double Main Event were excellent as well but which match was better?

WWE Classics on Demand
Legends –  More Ric Flair.

So I guess the first batch of matches was pretty well received. This next batch of matches is available to watch until July 27th. More Ric Flair, but it’s more stuff I’ve seen before, and not particularly rare or exciting. Next week’s batch, though, seems pretty interesting.

Hey, not sure if you want this or not, but I reviewed some of the content From the WWEClassics channel. If you want to put it on your website, feel free. If you like it and run with it, I'll send you some more, and some of the original content, too.

Sure, although it just makes me sadder that I’m not allowed to subscribe anymore. 

WWE Classics on Demand

DVD Wish List

Monday, June 7th, 2010

So in talking about the Hart and Soul DVD, there have been several complaints about match selection and the documentary itself.  I was curious what DVD sets you would like to see released, both those that are possible or probable and those that are just a dream.  For me I would love to see a Kurt Angle set, a Chris Jericho set, a Sting set, a Brock Lesnar set, and more sets for Austin, Rock, and Bret Hart.  Seeing any of these at some point wouldn't surprise me.  As for my pipe dream sets, I would love to see a Dean Malenko set, Scott Hall set, Greg Valentine, Tito Santanna, Don Muraco, Nick Bockwinkel, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, and a Raven set that covers WCW, WWF, ECW, and the indies.  Doubtful on any of these due to low sales probability and or bad blood.  So what's on your wish list?

I like the idea of “Best of RAW season 1 & 2” and stuff like that, actually.  That being said, I wish they’d utilize the library more.  A Clash of the Champions DVD is still a must, I think.  I’d love to see random compilations of the territories as well, to give newer fans an overview of what desperately scanning the satellite dish used to be like.  Instead of the “life and death” style World Class set, why not just a “Best of World Class” set showcasing 9 hours of what made the promotion great at times?  Or “Best of Memphis” or “Best of Florida” and the like?  Not everything has to be a dramatic documentary, as the SNME set showed.  Sometimes there’s still a market for the type of old-school compilations that people used to go out of their way to trade.  I mean, I love Bret Hart and Ric Flair, but 9 hours gets a bit tedious when you’re watching the same person over that length of time.

Awesome!

Most disappointing ending to an angle thread would be awesome.

Or it could be disappointing.

My pick:  The Four Horsemen in 1988.  They’re set up as unstoppable heels and you think something big is coming, but then they all just kind of split apart and Windham loses the US title and leaves the promotion.

MICHAEL'S IMPACT REVIEW #20
MAY 20, 2010
ORLANDO, FLORIDA - THE IMPACT ZONE

-  I hope this doesn't come a day short, but I wanted to at least get the report out there.  Blackhawks are looking real good; a little too good.  Let's cross the line.

-  We start with a Sacrifice recap video.

"10 CARD STUD"

-  Your hosts are Mike Tenay and Taz.

-  Tonight we find out the top 10 rankings.  Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff have a huge announcement concerning the main event for tonight.  Plus, Kurt Angle returns to Impact.

MICHAEL'S IMPACT REVIEW #19
MAY 13, 2010
THE IMPACT ZONE - ORLANDO, FLORIDA

-  Wow, two recaps in one week?  I guess it's the high I am coming off of from Tuesday night's win by Chicago.  I think this team may have a shot.  No, really.  I do.  Let's cross the line.

Scott says:  Suck it, Blackhawks.

MICHAEL'S IMPACT REVIEW #18
MAY 3, 2010
THE IMPACT ZONE - ORLANDO, FLORIDA

-  Bubba the Love Sponge gets fired from TNA for calling Awesome Kong, "black".  That is racially insensitive according to Total Nonstop Action.  The same people who have a wrestler named the Black Pope.  **sigh**  Let's cross the line.

-  We start with a video package from last week's show. 

"HOGAN/STING - THE SUMMIT"
(Is this anything like the Savage/Crush Summit?)

Michael's Impact Review #17

April 26, 2010

The Impact Zone - Orlando, Florida

-  Sorry this took a while.  I was finishing up with the Chicago Blackhawks and the Nashville Predators.  I can't wait for the Chicago-Vancouver series.  Last year when they met in the quarterfinals, it was pretty physical.  Even Luongo came out of the net for some fisticuffs.  Let's cross the line.

-  We begin with a video package showing all of the big things poppin' from last week.  Plus some post match comments of RVD talking about being World Champion, again.

"MR. MONDAY NIGHT"
