What Worked

Eddy opens up the program, which can only mean it's all downhill from here. Of
course, he's matched up with the creme of all cruisers and luchadores: Adrian
Byrd. Eddy leads Byrd through a nice mat sequence early-on, playing the surly
tecnico nicely. Byrd gets some offense and Eddy comes back with strikes and
more high-impact offense, dusting off some of the heel shtick in the process.
Frog splash completes this four minute match. Nothing extraordinary here. I
would've liked to see Eddy work over Byrd's legs more like he did early on. I
would also like it if Eddy's turn on Rey weren't being played as such a
foregone conclusion.

Barry Darsow. Hacksaw Duggan. Might have worked if Darsow had dusted off the
Khruschev trunks. Might have worked if Darsow had ambushed Duggan during the
cancer speech. Does work because Duggan "shoots" in pre-match oratory, saying
that he has no interest in being part of that dog and pony show on Monday
nights, preferring instead to work on Saturday Night: where his real fans are.
He finishes with the Tiger Driver '91, which I thought was odd for such a short
match, but it's his prerogative.

Nice to see Brian Knobbs get Sheepherdered.

Instructive to see how far Mariel Hemingway has fallen.

Telling to see that WCW doesn't recognize that they might want to showcase
wrestlers on Arli$$ with more of a career upside than Pfohl and Poffo.

Kidman/Juvi was pretty hot. Nice to see Juvi counter a Kidman powerbomb here.
10 minutes, no blown spots that I caught, nothing to bitch about generally. A
solid main event.

What Didn't Work.

Too many recaps. Everything else pretty much worked in its own way.
