Thunder Review

-Well, this Thunder was rather good in my books. The Hak and Kevin Nash match was very good, and the Bam Bam vs. DDP match was good too, but the Macho Man involvement is very confusing. It was nice to see Curt Hennig back to the ring. I'm surprised that Macho needed help to beat the Disciple. I only wish it was around 1989 for that match. Beefcake vs. Macho would have been a match back then. One thing I didn't like though, was the constant talk about Nitro and Slamboree. I know they need to do that a little, but every match was filled with it. That bugged me. But overall it was a good show, especially for a Thunder. This week's Thunder recieves a Tito grade of

B+

@Well, that's my Thunder report. I hope I did a good job. I'll have the Phat Daily Column ready for tomorrow. Take Care, and Happy Wrestling.
