Not a bad promo, but as I said in the last thread, JYD vs. Zhukov just won't get it done in 1993, even for a nostalgia-based federation like this. Boris was a midcard joke by the time he left the WWF in 1990, and he hasn't exactly done anything to reestablish himself since. His gimmick is irrelevant, he's a terrible promo, and he's not exactly Ric Flair in the ring either. The Dog should probably be in SMW as an attraction, helping guys like Lee and Horner get over with the crowds by being the wise old tag team partner who brings the charisma while their partner takes care of the wrestling to the best of their ability.

 

I think Soup's missing the point a bit: USA Wrestling wasn't supposed to be fresh, new, and exciting; rehashing old angles with old wrestlers was precisely the reason for its existence. Even by those standards, however, they could have done better than this for a money feud. They didn't, of course, and that's probably why we don't see them again on this set to the best of my knowledge.
