I remember that one. I love how Shawn is trying to steal the show...good for him! In there ith 3 of his idols. Reminds me of the WCW Saturday night match from a couple of years after with Flair and Austin vs. Steamboat and Sting....im going to go watch that now. I watched that match just last week. It's a good one! I'm in the middle of SVS 88 right now. At the tag match now. This was a favorite of mine as a kid. I remember being shocked with Mr. Fuji turned on Axe and Smash oh yes one of THE most sucessful face turns in history.Vinnie had no choice here either.bringing in the POP to face Demolition after attempt 2# at The Road Warriors failed was a disaster......Demolition had been getting roundly cheered since WM4 and POP had no personality.

Pieces of WrestleMania 9
Undertaker vs Giant Gonzales: What can be said about this one that hasn't been said. An absolute classic from bell to bell and I wish it go more time. Brilliant near falls at the end..... ok not really. Horrid match and it wasn't Taker's fault. The Giant just moved so terribly and sold so slowly and clownish it was a horrible thing to see. Why Vince even went with Gonzales/Undertaker 2 at SummerSlam '93 I'll never know. That match was slightly better from what I remember but not by much. Could have killed off the Gonzales character on TV or whatever...
Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna: Hadn't watched it in years and was surprised how short it was, coming in at just under 9 minutes. Both the IC Title match and Tag Team Title match were a lot longer. Good match while it lasted though, but nothing memorable besides Bret slapping on the sharpshooter
Yokozuna vs. Hulk Hogan: I never heard a bell. Therefore it wasn't officially a match. Therefore the belt should have stayed on Yokozuna!! I understand sending the crowd home happy so they should have just had Bret retain or hell, had Savage do the run in. At least that would have made a little sense seeing as how Yoko beat Savage up a few times before then. And then we'd have gotten Bret/Savage at Summerslam..
Lex Luger vs. Mr. Perfect: You can't have a bad match with Perfect but this was nothing memorable. Felt like they went trough the motions. The post match brawl was pretty good though as was Perfect's little botch on the prematch interview

Watching Rumble 89' now. Race and Haku are putting on a pretty good match. Hennan is classic running between both of their corners.
On a side note, they even did stupid stuff during the "Golden era" seriously, that pose down between warrior and rude was such a waste of time it was ridiculous. Forget having them face off, lets have them pose in the ring for 10 minutes!

Survivor Series 1993: All Americans(Luger/Taker/Steiners) vs. Foreigners(Yokozuna/Borga/Quebecer/Crush): Avoid this match. With the talent in the ring I had hope that it would deliver at least an enjoyable match but the match was slow and only kicked into high gear when Taker got in... for all of 1 minute. And Borga sucked more than I remembered.
Hogan vs. Flair November 1991: AWESOME match. Never seen those two guys move so fast ever. Everything clicked and the crowd was standing on its feet the whole time. I still wish this could have been the main event to WrestleMania 8
Sting vs. Vader Slamboree 1994: Nothing spectacular, fairly slow. Interesting "Sting must die" chant at the beginning.
Diesel vs. Razor Ramon from Superstars 1994: Quick match. Nothing of note besides, spoiler alert, the title change.

I haven't seen it in years so I'll let you know what I think once I get there from going through all the anthologies.

Seemed kinda scattered and slow especially the first 5/10 minutes. Undertaker and Yoko stole the match despite how relatively little time they had in it.

Isnt there a piledriver on the concrete in the Haku vs Race? I loved tht match. My favourite Rumble. I know it was attempted at least. A piledriver on the concrete was ALWAYS teased in the 80's. Just rewatched it, and Race does indeed hit a piledriver on Haku. Guess he wasnt told about the tough Tongan heads.

Raw Anthology Disc 4(Late 1994) matches
Bret Hart vs. 123 Kid Diesel vs. Lex Luger HBK vs. Razor Ramon Owen Hart vs. 123 Kid
All of those were great matches that I'd look out for if you haven't seen them, especially Bret/Kid and HBK/Ramon. Most were very long especially by today's TV standards.
