incredible bullshit between Lizmark and Felino in the background of the second fall comeback win. this one's begging for someone to steal it.

some highlight sequences from El Hijo del Santo/El Dandy/Silver King vs. Negro Casas/El Satánico/Apolo Dantes, including a more hectic than usual finishing run to one of these

insane accidental double leap from MIKAMI

a masterful ruse. the second exclamation is why he's the best to ever do it.

nice of Jun Akiyama to watch his Low Ki tapes too. wish this one stayed in the rotation and got perfected.

beautiful work from Los Guerreros del Infierno, not only with a cool triple team, but once again debuting a brand new way to hit someone in the groin

he's the best. they're the best together. incredible use of a well known bullshit stooging spot to make him even more annoying, tee up a hope spot, and then make him that much worse after the cut off.

more wonderful goofy bullshit from the best wrestler in the world and one of the most committed wrestlers of all time

the main event of one of the most important shows of the century happening in front of kids yelling "KICK HIM IN THE GUT" is already great, but the real MVP is the guy behind one of my new favorite heckles ever, yelling "GET HIM YUL BRYNNER" at Low Ki

ideal Gage vs. Briscoe spot

awesome finishing stretch, adapting the famous Onita/Pogo spot into a bullshit WWF Hardcore Title match (compliment/insult both at once, classic complisult) and using it as the best Van Daminator set up ever

rare style Gore in, shocker, Rhino's final match before neck surgery.

already the greatest table thrower in wrestling history, Genichiro Tenryu adds a new wrinkle in nailing stupid ass Taiyo Kea in the neck with the edge of one too

love the mat-level camera, which is especially helpful for watching El Hijo del Santo dribble Shocker's bloody face off the ground like he's trying to crack it open and find the secrets inside

insane editing choice in the middle of a Ki/Daniels/Danielson/Scoot match, cutting away from a move to this RF mark pic w/ Corgan. it's from an old VHS rip of an RF Video Best of the Indies 2001 comp, so it's likely from the original cut too. fascinatingly weird.
