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.

Post match: Sanders says he ain't coming back to cheers from the crowd.

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.
