Man.. Look at the 4 star ratings that Flair & Steamboat are getting.. :o
Rick GarrardPosted on 02/09/06 at 03:45:04

amazing what happens when a guy like Flair goes from 0 charisma to what he should have.  I think Mascaras carried Steamboat from watching their match, but anything to boost Steamboat at this point is good.

It doesn't get much better than the Funker and the Nature Boy squaring off.  Awesome stuff as always Rick!

Heck yeah!  Awesome circuit!  I wish I could go back in time to this era and watch it unfold in real life, honestly.
