Tournament Semi final
Mal Sanders(Euro Middleweight Champ) v James Mason(Brit Middleweight Champ)

Less than 300 in attendance here in a small boxing ring. Very slow start to this one, with Ye Olde Handshake. Sanders gets the upperhand and winds up the crowd. Durng the match, Sanders undos all the turnbuckles and blames James Masonm who gets his first warning. This backfires as he gets rammed in the stomach at the unprotected corner! Mason sets up Mal for a ball shot but the ref stops him. At 10 minutes the pace quickens with Sanders taking over with a running lariat + a double axe handle off the top gets a near fall. A mistake by Sanders allows Mason to hit a cross body from the top for the win. Worst match of the night.

*** match of the night.

Top Faces: 1. Brookside 2. Bushwhackers 3. Mason 4. Jannetty
Top Heels: 1. Benoit 2. Skinner 3. Mal Sanders 4. Doink
Best workers: 1. Benoit 2. Tekure 3. Brookside 4. Bushwhackers 5. Mason

Observations:
Why were the first round tourney matches 30 minute limit, and the final 15?
Why did all the faces beat the heels?
Why has Doink got a new mask?
Why didn't Luke and Butch wrestle that well in '93?
Tekure + Billy Benoit looked hot prospects to me.
Mal Sanders had grey hair and did a Ye Olde Handshake 4 times and undid the turnbuckle pads 9 times.
