Williams, Muta, Rhodes & Windham as final four. Couple Japanese photographers at ringside are a pretty good tell who wins this. Crowd is super hot for Muta, and somehow this didn't lead to anything other than a big win for him going into the Tokyo Dome and a long, not so hot match at Superbrawl. Muta skins the cat like HBK and wins by eliminating Windham with a couple dropkicks. Pretty anticlimactic. Should've resulted in something much bigger.

For only an eight man Battle Royal, this was ok. Granted many of the competitors were competing in their third match of he night, but I thought it was cool that Muta wins the thing. It was also an ironic twist that he had to eliminate his lethal lottery partner, Barry Windham, to do it. For the end of the night, this was a good way to end the show. ***

What we saw here was nice, but the point of an eight-man battle royal escapes me. As I've said before, the Lethal Lottery should have been its own pay-per-view, a sort of bizarre world Crockett Cup, with the teams battling tournament-style for the prize.

 

Good action between Dustin and Barry, and Jesse turned out to be right: Dustin was so consumed with beating the hell out of Barry that it ended up costing him the match.

 

I'll be interested to see exactly what Muta's win leads to, since he didn't have a full-time stateside run that I know of at any point in '93.

 

If they have to do this again next year, get it away from Starrcade. A title match, a Lethal Lottery tag match, and Battlebowl involving the same wrestlers on the same card is simply overkill.

 

Dumb spot of the match (that we saw): Barry trying to come off the top tope twice. Didn't Mulligan teach him anything about how to survive in battle royals? Yes, he hit the superplex, but he's damn lucky Dustin wanted to punish him enough to slam him into the ring instead of knocking him out.
