Pringle is acting sort of like a babyface again, which is weird. Austin lies about what happened in the match. There will be a MIXED TAG MATCH next time around. Both come across as overly coached when they do promos, but they also both come across as believable in some ways.

 

Austin gets in the ring to face Chris Germany and looks really good. It would be hard to see this guy and not see the potential at this point, even if he did have a lot to learn. He makes quick work of the guy, but isn't satisfied there. Jeanne is getting some "Go Home Slut!" chants while she slaps Germany a few times.

 

John Brazille is out to offer them the contract. The moment they sign, Chris and Toni run out and all four are brawling all over the place. This is good stuff that did a great job of making me want to see the mixed tag match.

If Pringle had to slide back into PBP (I wonder if Johnson was covering the World Cup for someone), then honestly, I'd rather hear him do it straight than try to be Michael Cole.

 

Austin dispatches with Germany in really effectively quick fashion, and John Brazelle breaks up a post-match attack and gets them to sign for a mixed tag match against Chris & Toni Adams. Chris & Toni then attack and finally it looks like Chris gets to look effective against Austin, as they run Austin & Jeannie off. Really compelling build to this mixed tag.

 

"GO HOME SLUT!"

I was disappointed to see Pringle go back to be even more straight laced a month after his big angle.

 

Jeannie's promo had some great moments and also some moments where you could see her trying to remember what to say.

 

The jobber match was good and may honestly be some of the best in ring Austin we have seen.

 

Real good pull apart with all 4 competitors at the end.

Pringle was asking questions to Austin that a heel announcer/interviewer shouldn’t be. Good promos by both. Austin and Jeannie want a piece of both Adams.

 

Austin delivers a nice release German. Flying shoulder tackle win it. Jeannie had a nice looking right hand. She was just laying them in.

 

Austin and Jeannie sign their part of the contracts before Chris and Toni Adams show up. They run off Austin and Jeannie and happily sign the contracts for a match next week. I'd be scared of just signing these contracts. What if promoter had something actually drawn up like you giving your house to them and you went ahead and signed it without reading as thought you were just signing some random paper as part of an angle.

Austin and Jeannie are getting better on the mic, but they still have trouble veering away from their talking points. I can't really explain it, since most guys have in their minds what they're going to say before they say it (or have it scripted for them), but it's not quite as off-the-cuff as it should sound for them yet. There's still a ton of potential for both of them, though, and of course we know what Austin turned into. I didn't watch '92 WCW, so when I get to that yearbook it'll be interesting to see how much they let Jeannie talk as Lady Blossom, if they do at all. My guess is that Heyman does all the talking, and considering how good Jeannie is here, that's a shame.

 

The brawl was heated, and it was interesting that the girls got to fight in the ring while the guys duked it out on the floor. I understand that the girls are the draw, but since they really can't work much, maybe it would have been best to start with all four in the ring. I noticed that Toni has enough ring savvy to move out of the way of Jeannie's slap so she hits Austin instead, which is nice to see.

 

Toni's still a better interview than Chris, all things considered.

 

I liked how Braselle threatened to throw Austin and Jeannie out of the Sportatorium if they didn't sign the contract. He's a Jack Tunney in training, only not as stiff on camera.

Alright! Mixed tag match coming up. Austin looks good in the squash match. Jeannie looks high in her promo, but maybe she always looks like that. I actually prefer Mr. Pringle more straight laced. Jeannie throws some really stiff looking punches. Adams and my main girl TONI come out and we've got a Pier 6. Good segment.

Austin and Jeannie are out for an interview with Percy Pringle. After seeing Pringle all crazy and deranged last week, I’m not liking him back as an interviewer and especially so soon. It sounds like we are missing a match from the Yearbook as Pringle is talking about Jeannie wearing a black wig last night. Austin says that because Jeannie has been unjustly accused of interfering in his matches he decided that it was best she didn’t come out with him last night. He was all on his own for the match, but Chris Adams comes out there with his bimbo, tramp wife holding his hand all the way to the ring because he’s too scared to face him by himself. They have the match and Adams pulls something out of his tights and gets the upper hand. Jeannie, the innocent genius that she is, then comes to the ring and helps him get back on top. He says that it doesn’t matter how you win, just as long as you win and accepts Chris and Toni’s challenge for next Friday night. Jeannie tells Toni to don’t ever think that she’s a coward as she’ll take her on any time, any place! She says how she’s been getting lots of fan mail from all the ladies husbands telling her how much they love and adore her, and how beautiful she is. She has travelled the world and all these women could never compare, as she is far superior than them. She tells Toni that if she wants her next Friday night she’s got her, and if she wants to fight, they’ll fight, before blowing a kiss and winking at the camera! Austin then tells John Brozell to bring the contract out and they’ll sign it after he beats this punk.

 

This punk is Khris Germany. Some horrible punches to open from Austin, but followed up with a beautiful release German suplex. This is a quick squash that only goes 43 seconds with Austin getting the win following a shoulder tackle. After the match he throws Germany to the outside and slams him on the floor. Pringle on commentary says ‘this is just a little bit too much’, but what on earth is a heel doing saying that? The crowd start a ‘go home slut’ chant directed at Jeannie, and Austin holds Germany so that she can hit him. Jeannie again lays the punches in and isn’t holding anything back. I really liked the way that after she threw a punch she would turn to the camera, wink and give the thumbs up and then punch him again! She has got an abundance of charisma that lady. John Brozell comes down with the contract and tells them to cut it out. The two of them sign the contract for the match, but as soon as it’s signed Chris and Toni run out to attack them.

 

We have a really hot brawl as a prelude to Friday. You can sort of tell that they’re focussing on the women as they’re the ones who are getting it on in the ring. Jeannie accidentally hits Austin when Toni moves as he was holding her, then Chris nails Austin with a chair, and for once the Adams’ aren’t left lying in the ring as Austin picks up Jeannie and carries her to the back. Chris and Toni sign the contract and Toni tells Jeannie that it’s over for her. Chris says that the match is official and they’ll see them in the ring next Friday night. John Brozell also makes mention that the USWA will not be held responsible for what happens to the girls in the match.

 

Fantastic segment and Jeannie might well be improving at a quicker rate than Austin. I’m a bit perplexed that some people are claiming that the Germany match is the best in ring we’ve seen of Austin so far? Not sure how you can claim that on a match that goes 43 seconds, not to mention how god awful his punches were at the start. The release German was lovely and a nice shoulder tackle, but best we’ve seen? Come on! Only a short promo by Chris Adams as the end, but probably the best and most animated one he’s cut in this feud and Toni continues to be great. I’m really not sure what’s going on with Percy Pringle. I thought it was bad enough that he was out as an interviewer, but he was clearly playing babyface on commentator. Has he turned or was he just doing what he wanted?

Austin throws some godawful looking punches here.

 

Jeannie winking to the cam between each slaps to that poor jobber is priceless. She was absolutely great in her role. Post match angle was quite the chaotic mess again with tons of heat. Joey Styles would have lost his shit calling this...
