Rumble 95. Razor vs Jarrett was pretty good. Wouldn’t mind having Razor in that gear as an elite. Feel like Taker will just have boring ass matches this whole year. Pam Anderson looks so good here. Tag match was pretty decent. Bret and Diesel kill it again. A lot of over booking here but it all worked. The Runble was odd. Michaels going the distance would have been better had the time between participants had been longer. Liked seeing Bulldog and Shawn as the first and final two. The downside is this match showed how little substance the roster had at this time. For the new generation, a lot of random old timers here too. Overall decent start to the year. Ramon, Jarrett & a few others should have been made pull double duty. Roster was wafer thin but Vince deployed his talent all wrong in 1995. Yeah it felt very off. Much more filler than actual talent. Should have cut the Undertaker and IRS match and thrown them in the Rumble.

Wrestlemania 11. I’ll be honest, this has always been one of my least favorite Manias with only 27 maybe below it. Luger and Bulldog should have faced off. Even if just a match to show respect. The Blu Brothers were garbage. Razor vs Jarrett wasn’t nearly as good as their Rumble match. I love King Kong Bundy, but this has to be Undertakers second worst Mania match. I love Owen and Yoko as a team. The story made perfect sense. The match as good too. Backlund proving to be Bret’s only bad opponent during this time, for the second time. Diesel vs HBK was fun but I feel like it could have been much better. Should have closed the show. I love Bam Bam. I’m happy he got the payday and a main event. I usually love celebs in wrestling. It wasn’t terrible, it just felt unnecessary. The event wasn’t as bad as I remembered with two really good matches on the card. I really want elites of Bam Bam and Michaels in their attires.

RVD vs 2 Cold Scorpio - Living Dangerously 1998
fun match from two show offs looking to out flex one another. they do the old move for move standoff (that I'm pretty sure was started with Dynamite and Tiger Mask) until Scorpio takes it to the outside and turns it into a brawl. RVD gets the w but Scorpio lays him out after

In Your House 1. While I’m not really into the house give away gimmick, I’m surprised how much I enjoyed this event. Both Bret matches were great. Loved the knee injury fake out though I wish he revealed it in the match. Yoko and Owen vs Smoking Gunns 2 was great. Razor vs Jarrett and Roadie was good for what it was. Didn’t know that’s how Savio came in. Mabel looked strong against Bomb. Sid is great in his gimmick and the match with Diesel was surprisingly good too. Also into babyface Bigelow. Good event here.

PTW 7-13-92 - Matches include Tornado/Kato, High Energy/Beverly Brothers and Virgil/Martel. At this point it looked like we were getting Taker/Berzerker, Shango/Warrior and Flair/Savage at SSlam but how things would change quick...
7-20-92 - Beverly Brothers/Disasters,Bret/Martel for IC belt(HBK interferes to start that feud) and High Energy/Money Inc. Also the announcement of Warrior/Savage at SSlam. Crazy to think the week prior they had Shango cut a promo on em then this week it's all scrapped. For the best though in the end.Flair's promo on being screwed out of the match is great.

This would have made a great HOF 4-pack back when Mattel was still doing those; Warrior and Savage in their wrestling gear, Flair in his suit, and Perfect in his suit as well.

Ok so KOTR 95. This event is a disaster after such a good show before it. I have no doubt fans have rebooked this in their head ever since it happened. I appreciated them giving Savio a strong showing but Mabel looked like a chump taking so long to put Savio away. It should have been a squash after Savio worked three matches. Sid should have won the King Of The Ring this year and it feels pretty obvious. Would have had him beat Shawn in the finals with the tournament looking something like this:
Undertaker Mabel Sid Savio
HBK Kama Bam Bam Jarrett
Undertaker Sid
HBK Bam Bam
Sid vs HBK with Sid winning.

In Your House 2. The event itself was fine. The Kid and Roadie had a solid match. Mabel and Mo vs Razor and Savio was ok. Razor seems to be floating around at this point. Mabel still doesn’t look as dominant as he should. I skipped all the Jarrett concert crap. His match with Michaels was really fun though. Yoko and Owen just work so well as a team. Luger proving his WWF run was essentially that he can’t win when it matters. Bam Bam vs Godwin was an ok big man match. The lumberjack match was enjoyable but Sid looking like a coward and then losing to a big boot felt flat. I wanted more from these two. Definitely a step up from KOTR.

vader vs sting - starrcade 1992
sting is a pretty good choice for vader's best feud of his career considering the matches these two had, and this is the best of the bunch. vader the monster vs the mega over babyface sting, the story tells itself. sting never makes too much progress on vader, letting vader keep his heat till the end so the sting comeback is that much more of a feel good moment

Summerslam 95. Honestly a one match show, though Undertaker and Kama wasn’t bad. Thank god Glen Jacobs got better because it had to be hard to have a bad match with Bret in this era. Luger coming out, Diesel attacking him, and then Luger helping Diesel is hilariously bad. Seriously, Luger is booked like a ing idiot his entire run. Mabel yelling “I’m going to be the first black champion” is a bummer too when you think about how we’ve only had two black champions and this was 25 years ago. Seriously, I’m two and a half years into this watch and I’ve never witnessed anyone booked like a bigger loser than Lex.
