PTW episode where Perfect turns baby They did a good job on short notice all things considered. But I mentioned this in the past here a good alternative wouldve been to have Crush as Mach's partner. He wasnt even on the PPV so having em in this spot wouldve been good for his face run here as he was over like rover Have em go over at SSeries due to Perfect messing up and go from there with the split heading in 93. Plus they couldve called back to this a year later when the Mach/Crush feud got underway I think they could have used Bret as Savage's partner and used it to build a Flair vs Bret singles match as the main event at the Rumble where Bret should have won the title after Perfect's interference backfires, instead of rushing it on to him clean at a house show. After losing the IC title at Summerslam, Bret wasn't really locked into any particular direction until the short-term title decision in October. I think it would have been fully believable for the babyface Savage to call on the help of the other top babyface in Bret.
I know Flair got injured by Warrior, but really didn't need to rush the title off him the way they did. Even injured, Flair could still have just been a fixture on TV and have built for the Survivor Series in that way, especially as he wouldn't need to put the title on the line at the Survivor Series anyway, and then see what physical condition he is.
If you do it this way, you can have Perfect's interference costing Flair the title at the Rumble leading to the Flair vs Perfect match being at WM9 instead of rushed on Raw and you can keep to heat on Razor vs Savage as a potential future singles match at WM9 after they collide again in the battle royal at RR 1993. It also means that they wouldn't rush Razor into a title match at the Rumble, with the loss effectively demoting him to Nowheresville and the pointless Backlund squash at WM9, and you get a real potential clash title bout at RR93 with Bret vs Flair going 30 minutes or so (they had a 60 min match on the house show circuit in January 1993) and reduce the battle royal to maximum 25 candidates as a result of the limited time, so you don't need to expose how weak the roster is becoming.
Yeah, no need to rush at that time. I like the idea of a Bret/Flair feud. Bret having matches with Flair but Ric always eking out a win - either by count out, DQ, or cheating. Then they have one last match at RR93, Perfect tries to interfere on Flair's behalf but it backfires and cost him the belt. Bret is the new champion, and you have the Flair/Perfect feud ready to go. If Flair really wanted to leave that bad, I'd do the loser leaves town match at WM9. Bret's first title reign would have benefitted from a good feud with Flair.

20-man Battle Royal from SNME 27/4/91 The Weasel family might have won, but that’s okay here because Hulk Hogan didn’t.

The entirety of Starrcade '91.
Pretty good show all in all - always loved the Battlebowl concept, although I preferred it when they took it down to one ring in '93.

Edge vs Foley @wm22. I know Foley is kind of unhappy with this one? But I felt he did a heck of a job getting Edge over here as a ruthless heel(like HHH in 99/2000 he needed the help)

I always thought he enjoyed the match with edge, it's definitely a good one.

HHH vs Austin @ No Mercy 1999
Hot match with great action. Finish was clever too and since they knew Austin's neck was even worse? needed to happen.
