I still ride for Foley turning on Dreamer as my favorite turn.
Partly because it truly felt out of no where and partly because of the god tier “anti-hardcore” promos that came from it.

The first time I ever questioned the “longer = better” trope that early newsletters/early internet pushed about matches.
At the time, two of my favorites having a 60 minute world title match that bored me to tears seemed impossible.
SSeries 92 is their superior PPV match.
I will always remember walking into this show, blown away that they actually painted the walls of the arena for this.

My advice to people in Vegas this weekend:

As the kid say, Iyo was bumping like rent was due (did I do that right).
Learn to bump kids. You make the shit your opponent does to you look like they really killed you and if you win or lose you either got beat by a killer or beat a killer.
Sabu fucking ruled. If you were a tape trader in 93-94 you definitely sought out the Lightning Kid/Sabu match. There’s no telling young people how awesome it was when the Sabu comp arrived in the mail.
