Mike Reviews WCW Beach Blast 1993

Happy Blasting Saturday Everyone!

Back with some more 1993 WCW, as we take a look at Beach Blast 1993. As far as I’m aware; Beach Blast marks the only major North American wrestling event that was built around someone trying to blow someone else up with a boat explosion. I think Gene Kiniski once tried to rig up Lou Thesz’s penny farthing so that it’d explode if it went below 2mph, but I’m not sure if that was ever officially confirmed.

Beach Blast is emanating from Biloxi, Mississippi on the 18th of July 1993

Calling the action are Tony Schiavone and Jesse Ventura

The commentary team are in full beach attire, which matches the beach styled set we have for the show tonight. Jesse Ventura of course has a bevy of attractive ladies with him, and that eats up some time as he heads down to ringside.

Opening Match
WCW World Television Title
Champ: “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff Vs Ron Simmons

Simmons had originally been one of half of Heel tag team DOOM with Butch Reed, and the two had managed to successfully win the Tag Team Titles in 1990. Ultimately the team split up in 1991 though, with Simmons becoming a babyface in the split and defeating Reed to bring that chapter of his career to an end at SuperBrawl I. following on from that win, Simmons became a fixture of the upper mid-card in WCW, coming to close to defeating Lex Luger for the WCW Title in the autumn of 91.

Simmons did eventually win the WCW Title from Vader in 1992, but his reign was a disappointment and he never really looked comfortable in the role, even though he was a naturally gifted athlete who had excelled at American Football prior to entering the wrestling business. By 1993 Simmons had dropped considerably down the pecking order and he would eventually leave the company in 1994, having a spell in ECW before joining the WWF in 1996 under the new name of “Faarooq”, where he remained a mid-card fixture until 2004 when he mostly retired as a regular performer.

This match has a special rule where Orndorff will lose the Title if he gets disqualified. The fans have fun in the early going by referring to Orndorff as “Paula”, which he plays up to big, and he spends so much time yelling back at them that it allows Simmons to clobber him and start the match. Orndorff bumps around big for Simmons in the early going, with Simmons even firing off a dropkick at one stage in an impressive display of athleticism for someone his size.

Orndorff is on the back foot for large periods of the bout, with Simmons targeting both his left arm and left leg at different points, with Orndorff selling it well, although Simmons’ attacks have been a little unfocused. Eventually Orndorff is able to lure Simmons out to the floor though, where he slams the challenger face first into the announce table before putting him back inside the ring for a chin lock. The crowd gets behind Simmons whilst he sells, and he makes sporadic attempts at a comeback here and there, timing that well.

This has been a reasonably well worked match from a purely mechanical aspect, but it hasn’t been especially exciting or thrilling in all honesty. Whereas previous TV Title feuds, like Steve Austin Vs Ricky Steamboat, had a special chemistry going on, it really feels like these two just don’t click as opponents at all. They are both polished wrestlers, but neither is really tailored to get the best out of the other. There’s nothing offensive about this match, but it’s just kind of “there” for the most part. The crowd mostly reacts when and how they are supposed to, so it has that at least.

Unfortunately the finish is a bit of lame one, as Simmons makes the big comeback and gets some near falls, with Orndorff only just managing to kick out at certain points, including an occasion where he grabs the ropes when it looks like he is about to be pinned. Orndorff goes for his Piledriver finishing move, but Simmons counters it with a back body drop, sending Orndorff over the top rope as a result. Throwing an opponent over the top rope was a disqualification in WCW at the time though, so the referee disqualifies Simmons, even though there was nothing he really could have done there and he didn’t intentionally throw Orndorff over.

WINNER BY DQ AND STILL CHAMPION: MR. WONDERFUL
RATING: **1/4

Thoughts: This was an okay match with a really lousy finish. The biggest problem with WCW’s “over the top rope DQ” rule was that it was never consistent. Sometimes a wrestler would clothesline an opponent over the top for instance, but a DQ wouldn’t be called because it was unintentional and the “momentum” simply caused the wrestler to tumble out. Essentially WCW wanted to have their cake and eat it too, with being thrown over the top rope only being a DQ when it suited them for it to be one, and this just happened to be one of those occasions

Match Two
Shanghai Pierce and Tex Slazenger Vs 2 Cold Scorpio and Marcus Alexander Bagwell

Pierce and Slazenger would eventually become The Godwinn’s/Southern Justice in the WWF. Scorp and Bagwell were becoming a solid mid-card tag team who could challenge for the tag belts when required. Pierce and Slazenger are using the music that Hector Garza would eventually have during the Monday Night War. Pierce and Slazenger are big gruff dirty Texicans, whilst Bagwell and Scorp are nice fresh faced good guys (although Scorp has recently had some pretty heavy legal issues), so this works well as a dynamic. Bagwell and Scorp get the babyface shine to start, although Scorp does mess up some kind of high flying move early on. They manage to cover for it though and the shine continues on.

The babyfaces continue to control things with standard babyface fare like arm drags and leap frogs, with the crowd digging it for the most part. It’s a very early in the card kind of bout. The commentary team focuses mostly on putting Bagwell over, so you can tell who WCW ultimately had planned to be the respective Michaels and Jannetty of this pairing when the team eventually split. The Heels eventually cheap shot Bagwell and work some heat, with Bagwell doing a good job of selling it all whilst Pierce and Slazenger are solid but basic on offence (although Mark Canterbury/Pierce does get a very nice powerbomb onto Baggers at one stage).

Jesse keeps slagging off lawyers on commentary, although I’m not sure why considering that he successfully sued the WWF around this time and made out like a bandit. I’m sure lawyers helped you out there Jess. Anyway, Scorpio ends up getting the hot tag and runs wild, looking good in the process. Things break down following that, with all four going at in the ring. The Heels get thrown into one another the Faces then put Pierce away soon after following a Scorp 450 Splash.

WINNERS: BAGWELL & SCORPIO
RATING: **

Thoughts: “Perfectly cromulent wrestling” as Scott Keith would say

Missy Hyatt is interviewing Paul Orndorff and The Equaliser, which leads to Orndorff saying that Ron Simmons should be fined for the DQ earlier. Equaliser is introduced as a heavy here, and he has the size for that at least, if not the wrestling ability. Ricky Steamboat is teased as a future challenger for Mr. Wonderful.

Match Three
Lord Steven Regal w/ Sir William Dundee Vs “The Master of the Dropkick” Erik Watts

Watts had been given a push way before he was ready and the fans had viciously turned on him, despite him supposedly being a babyface. Regal was getting into a solid groove as a snooty aristocratic villain. Watts is fighting for MURICA against an evil foreigner here, as WCW try everything they can to get the fans to cheer for the poor sod. This one is mostly a technical battle, with Watts doing an okay job of hanging in there for the most part. It’s not exactly thrilling stuff, but it’s a good example on Regal’s part of how to put a match together with an inexperienced opponent. The crowd doesn’t really care that much about it, even with the USA Vs The World theme they have going on with it. It’s mostly a back and forth battle, meaning that Regal doesn’t really work any heat on Watts and they mostly trade holds. Watts looks to have it won with a Step-over Toe-hold Face-lock, but Sir William cheap shots Watts whilst the referee is distracted by checking on Regal and that allows Regal to a get a tights assisted roll-up for three.

WINNER: HIS LORDSHIP
RATING: **

Thoughts: This was fine, if a bit duller than some of the other technical matches that Regal might have had during this period due to the fact that Watts was still green and not really capable of doing much outside of the basics. Watts would actually end up being an acceptable authority figure in TNA during the 00’s due to some solid mic skills, but he never really became anything above average as an in-ring performer. Regal would continue to climb the card following this and would close the year out as TV Champ

Jesse Ventura interviews a victorious Lord Steven, who brags about his win and says that he wants to be in the TV Title hunt, as His Lordship has promised the Queen that he’ll bring a belt back home. And with that, it’s time for crumpets!

Eric Bischoff recaps the Maxx Payne and Johnny B. Badd feud.

Match Four
Maxx Payne Vs Johnny B. Badd

Payne fired a confetti gun in Badd’s face, so Badd is looking for vengeance here. Badd has a protective mask on here due to having the gun going off in his face, and Badd actually shows some previously unseen aggression by attacking Payne right from the opening bell. I like that as it gets across the idea that Badd is really peeved and looking for revenge. Badd’s aggression ends up costing him, as he misses a charge in the corner and that allows Payne to take over, which is another nice storyline touch as it shows how Badd’s rage has put him off his usual game-plan and it’s effecting his performance.

Payne is fine whilst working heat, keeping it mostly simple, with Badd doing a decent job selling everything. Payne tries to win things with the Payne Killer (Fujiwara Arm Bar) but Badd is near the ropes and is able to break the hold, which then leads into aloha-Payne so that Badd can get a sunset flip. Payne gets sent to the floor following that, which leads to Badd heading out with a dive, as this continues to be a more intense Badd than we’d usually see. Badd comes off the second rope with a head butt to a standing Payne following that, and that’s enough for three.

WINNER: JOHNNY B. BADD
RATING: *1/2

Thoughts: This was pretty short, so I’d struggle to go any higher rating wise, but it was fine for an undercard grudge match, as Badd actually wrestled differently than usual in order to get the storyline over and did a good job at it. Payne was mostly just “there” for this one, but he didn’t do anything actively wrong either. The match was more about Badd seeking revenge whilst Payne was the target of Badd’s rage

Match Five
NWA/WCW Unified Tag Titles
Champs: The Hollywood Blondes (Flyin’ Brian and Stunning Steve) Vs The Horsemen (“The Enforcer” Arn Anderson and “Pretty” Paul Roma)

The Blondes were entrenched in a feud with The Horsemen, with Roma subbing in for Ric Flair here, who is going after the singles belt later on. There’s a lot of stalling in the early going, with The Blondes taking the Larry Z approach of playing to the crowd and trying to avoid direct conflict with the babyfaces. When they do actually start wrestling; it’s decent accent, as all four of these folks can go to one degree or another. It’s very much an old school Southern Wrestling tag match, and the crowd seems to dig it, especially when the babyfaces get a chance to shine on the Champions and bump them around a bit.

It’s a slow burner to be honest; with the challengers getting an elongated control segment on the Champs in the early going to establish them as being capable of winning the belts, with both Steve and Brian being happy to sell in order to make it work. Brian pretends to injure his knee at one stage, but Anderson even has an answer for THAT as well, as they are trying very hard to make the challengers look good and on the level of the Champions here. However, some Heel chicanery leads to Steve attacking Roma outside the ring whilst Brian distracts the ref, and that’s FINALLY enough for the Heels to work some heat after a near 10 minute babyface shine (and the match itself goes something like 25 minutes total).

Roma does a decent job as the babyface in peril, selling well and making the occasional attempt to either fight back or tap out. The atmosphere feels like it dips a little bit at points, but in general they keep the heat from the crowd reasonably consistent. Anderson gets a hot tag after both Brian and Roma miss duelling dropkicks, and an Anderson DDT to Brian looks to end things. However, Steve cheap shots Anderson and that’s enough to give us our second heat segment, as they are going all in with the standard southern tag formula here. Anderson does an excellent job of selling his portion of the heat segment, with the crowd getting behind him as he tries to fight back. There are quite a few hot tag teases, with the timing on some of them being top notch.

Eventually Anderson manages to suplex Steve from the apron to the floor, which Ventura points out should be a DQ seeing as Steve went over the top to the floor, which leads to Schiavone having to scramble to explain it away somehow. You know; if you had an actual proper set of rules and stuck to them consistently, then your commentators wouldn’t have to scramble like this to explain why something that was a DQ earlier now magically isn’t one because the booker decided that this one wasn’t. Just saying. Anyway, not even THAT leads to the babyfaces getting the hot tag, as they once again foil Anderson in his quest to tag out. Anderson keeps plugging though, and eventually he manages to evade Brian and make the tag to Roma.

Roma runs wild on the Heels, with both of the Champs taking some big bumps in order to make Roma look good. We get some near falls, with the challengers getting two from an Anderson Spine Buster. However, Brian cheap shots Roma quickly following that, and that leads to Steve getting a tights assisted three count on Roma for the three count. I must say; I get that long shine, long heat into a snappy finish is the calling card of this style of match and I enjoy it well enough, but after the heat segment on Anderson had gone on for so long I think the match really needed a slightly longer finishing stretch, as the last 15 minutes of the match were basically “babyfaces get battered, make a brief comeback, then they lose”, and that’s not especially satisfying for a 25 minute long match.

WINNERS AND STILL CHAMPIONS: THE BLONDES
RATING: ***

Thoughts: I believe the original plan was to switch the belts here at Beach Blast, but WCW thought that was too obvious due to news leaking of The Horsemen having the Titles at recent TV taping’s, so they decided to delay the change to a later date. However, that led to a hiccup that we’ll cover another time. The match itself was well wrestled, although I think it might have benefited from having 5-10 minutes shaved off it in order to make them get to the fireworks factory a little snappier

Eric Bischoff and Missy Hyatt hype up the next match, with Hyatt being excited at the thought of two men wrestling for 30 minutes.

Match Six
30 Minute Iron Man Bout for the vacant WCW United States Title
“Ravishing” Rick Rude Vs “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes

Rude had been stripped of the belt due to injury, which had led to Dustin winning it in a tournament. Rude had subsequently cheated to regain the belt, but the controversial nature of the victory led to the belt being held up for this match. Yes, we get ABEYANCE here in 1993 WCW! Rude had a great Iron Man match back at Beach Blast 92, so he’s got a lot to live up to here. I have to question putting two long matches back to back like this, as we’ve had the Tag Title match go 26 minutes and now we’ve got a 30 minute match to follow it. That’s a heck of a lot of minutes for two matches. It’s not the best example of match placement to be honest. They could have easily put the Tag Title match on earlier too. Heck, it could have worked as the opener actually.

Dustin controls things for most of the early going, with him mocking Rude’s trademark hip swivel at certain points to some cheers from the crowd. Rude manages to turn Dustin inside-out with a clothesline after about 7 minutes or so though and that gives us the cut off. Rude looks to be targeting the mid-section of Dustin during the heat segment, including busting out a bear hug, which doesn’t make a tonne of sense when you consider that Rude’s finishing move is a neck breaker, so maybe it would make more sense to work over the head and neck area? Dustin sells it all well at least, and Rude shows good intensity as he tries to work Dustin over with a collection of holds, including a sit out camel clutch at one stage, which does at least hurt the neck area along with the back.

Dustin eventually starts fighting back around the 10 minute mark, targeting the leg of Rude, which leads to Rude actually tapping out at one point. However, I don’t think tapping out was established as a method of submission in Pro Wrestling yet, so the match continues and Dustin doesn’t get a fall in his favour. Rude lays around on the mat for a bit but eventually fights back and the Rude Awakening gives Rude a three count.

Rick Rude 1-0 Dustin Rhodes – Rude Awakening on 13 minutes

Dustin is really on the defensive following that of course, which allows Rude to work him over some more. The crowd gets behind Dustin as he sells a Rude hold, so they’re mostly still invested in this one at least, which is a pleasant bonus. Dustin manages to catch Rude with a piledriver at one stage, but Rude kicks out and Dustin ends up taking an accidental spill to the floor, meaning we get more of Dustin getting worked over. Dustin starts fighting back on the 20 minute mark, but Rude soon takes over again, because heaven for-fend that we have something to get exciting about in this match. Rude does loudly swear at Dustin at one stage, so we have that at least. Dustin manages to survive a sleeper hold, as the crowd is still almost inexplicably into this match when you consider how much of it has been dudes sitting in holds. Dustin finally starts making a comeback around the 26 minute mark though, and he catches Rude with a Bulldog to level it up.

Rick Rude 1-1 Dustin Rhodes – Bulldog on 26 minutes

The closing 3 minutes are mostly Dustin hitting Rude with a series of moves in an effort to pick up the win, but Rude is able to kick out each time. The crowd gets into the near falls, even thinking that basic stuff like elbow drops and clotheslines might do it for Dustin. I do like how Dustin is trying pins off of everything, as it shows his desperation and after 30 minutes of wrestling there’s a chance you could pick up the win with a basic move if your opponent is knackered enough. Dustin gets a DDT with seconds to go, but the timer runs out and the match is a 1-1 draw, although the suggestion is that Rude wasn’t going to kick out

DRAW
RATING: **1/2

Thoughts: This one didn’t really grab me, and it wasn’t close to being as good as Rude’s previous Beach Blast Iron Man exploits. The match felt like it meandered too much for me, although the wrestling from both competitors was solid and the crowd mostly stuck with the match throughout. I found myself getting a bit bored of it at points, but when they turned up the dial it was reasonably entertaining, so I’ll go middle of the road with my rating. I’m not sure the feud needed to be stretched out further though, and they should have just ended it here by crowning a Champion and allowing both wrestlers to move on to other things

Dustin looks at the belt forlornly following that, but he would eventually manage to win it again.

The announce team give us the backstory for the NWA World Title.

Semi-Main
NWA World Title
Champ: “The Lone Wolf” Barry Windham Vs “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair

The NWA and WCW World belts were separate at the time, with Big Bazza winning the big gold belt from Great Muta back at SuperBrawl III. That match was awful, but Windham had rehabbed his reign somewhat by having good matches with Arn Anderson and Scorpio at Slamboree and a Clash of Champions respectively. Windham had refused to re-join The Horsemen, thus planting seeds for this clash here at Beach Blast, with the two having a violent brawl on television, which ended up with the two fighting in the street. Full marks to them in trying to make this one mean something at least. We get a classic example of WCW being WCW during the entrances as Flair’s music cuts off before he makes it to the ring, meaning that he has to enter to silence for half of it. Windham’s cheerful and upbeat music really doesn’t suit his scowling Heel persona at all.

Despite being a babyface, Flair still bumps around a lot in the early going, even taking his customary flip bump to the floor, which isn’t a DQ even though Flair flew over the top rope to the floor. I’m sorry to belabour the point so much, but WCW has annoyed me so I’m going to be a pedantic wanker and keep bringing it up whenever I see an example of their inconsistent booking. I quite enjoy the wrestling on display from both competitors here, as the match is worked at a quick clip and it has some good ebb and flow to it. It’s more a case of a tug of war, with the momentum switching regularly between the two wrestlers. It feels like a genuine contest between two people trying to out wrestle one another, and that’s always good in a World Title fight like this.

Windham does manage to get a little bit of control at one stage, as he works Flair over with slams and strikes. However, Flair starts fighting back with some trademark chops and ends up knocking Windham over the top to the floor. However, I’ll give them a pass on that one as the ref didn’t get a good look at it due to being in-between the two at the moment Windham headed over, so I can buy that it wouldn’t be a DQ for that reason. Windham manages to give Flair a body slam out on the floor following that, but Flair counters the 10 punch with an Atomic Drop back inside, as they continue to trade momentum in this contest. Windham tries to put Flair away with a Superplex, but Windham is too hurt to follow up right away, thus giving him an out for not winning with his finisher.

Windham misses what looks like a leg drop from the top rope following that, which gives Flair another chance to fight back. I have to give both wrestlers credit, as they are WORKING here. There has been some momentary occasions of sloppiness, but in general they’ve been wrestling well here. The crowd heat hasn’t been amazing, which is the main downside here, but I’ve dug the match in general and I like how they’ve fought it in a back and forth manner throughout. Flair eventually starts targets Windham’s leg and he manages to apply the Figure Four in the middle of the ring. This leads to a pretty abrupt finish, where Windham lays back to reach for the ropes, but his shoulders are down and that leads to referee Randy Anderson counting him out for three, meaning that Flair leaves Beach Blast with the NWA World Title.

WINNER AND NEW CHAMPION: RIC FLAIR
RATING: ***

Thoughts: This was good and I enjoyed it, as I felt the back and forth nature of the bout where they traded momentum worked well for what they wanted to do with the match. I must say though that the finish didn’t really work for me, and it honestly looked like the match went home early because Windham genuinely didn’t realise he was being pinned. It was a pretty flat way for Windham’s reign to end, but at least he’d managed to have the Anderson and Scorpio matches before bowing out. It really felt like there was more figured in with Windham doing the big sell job before losing, but I guess it shows that a match can end at any time, which isn’t a terrible thing to teach the fans

Flair heads over to Jesse Ventura for some promo time, where he makes sure to put Windham over as a Champion before saying that he’s the only real World Champ, which seems to be setting up a feud with WCW World Champ Vader, but they didn’t end up unifying the belts for another year. This was a decent promo from Flair and it teased future matches that we could get.

Eric Bischoff and Missy Hyatt hype up the Main Event.

Main Event
The Masters Of The Powerbomb (Sid Vicious and WCW World Champ Big Van Vader) w/ Colonel Rob Parker and Harley Race) Vs The Man Called Sting and Davey Boy Smith

This one was set up by an infamous mini-move where an evil little person called Cheetum blew up Sting and Davey Boy’s boat at the behest of the Heels somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico. No, I’m not making that up. After only just escaping murder at the hands of a vertically challenged villain, Sting and Davey decided the appropriate recourse was to have a wrestling match with the two men responsible, as opposed to calling the police and having them incarcerated for aiding and abetting a felon.

Well three of these guys are good and one of them is Sid, so hopefully a 75% good quotient will be enough to keep this one watchable. Sting hammers away on Sid to start, with Sid selling it all in his usual goofy fashion, only to pop up and drill Sting with a choke slam. Well, that was sure a frantic way to start us out. Both Faces get thrown outside of the ring but come back in with top rope axe handle smashes to pop the crowd. Bulldog was actually the guy going after Vader’s WCW Title at this stage due to going to a DQ with him at Slamboree, so he gets to do his shine with him, delivering the big vertical suplex for an easy pop.

Obviously Vader helped out by posting there, but you still need a lot of strength to pull something like that off. It’s a testament to both men doing their jobs well that they managed to make it look so effortless. The Heels do manage to cut Davey off following that though, and work him over. When Vader’s in its good and when Sid’s in I spend every second hoping he’ll tag out to Vader. I must say that standing on the apron whilst Vader did the wrestling was a good use of Sid actually. Sid aggravates me further by tagging in and delivering my least favourite rest hold in wrestling, the nerve pinch.

Sid is so grotesquely muscled and overly tanned here that his skin starts resembling a saveloy sausage the longer the bout wears on (the Brits amongst you all will get that reference) and he makes sure to flex whilst doing the nerve pinch, as having chicken enhanced physique and gurning like a moron is all he can really bring to the table. Eventually Race tries to hold Davey so that Vader can squish him, but Davey dodges and Race ends up taking a bump to the floor. Sting gets the hot tag following that and runs wild on the Heels. However, a Sid cheap shot allows Vader to cut him off and we have a second heat segment.

Vader and Sid are drawing some decent heat from the crowd actually, with Vader quickly settling back into the routine of laying a whupping on poor Stinger. Sting’s face paint has almost completely melted whilst the two Heels are drenched in sweat so it must be boiling in that building. Sting manages to dodge a Sid elbow and tags in Davey, who runs in to a boot to the mid-section and gets immediately cut off. What was the point of that? Did Davey tag in too soon or something? It’s not long before they go to the finish though, as Vader comes off the top with the Moonsault for what I think was the first time. Sting breaks up the pin however and Davey rolls Vader up straight after for the three count.

WINNERS: STING AND SMITH
RATING: **1/2

Thoughts: If Vader was going to successfully hit the Moonsault then it really should have been the finish, as nothing was topping that. Davey being up so quickly in order to get the winning pin was silly as well, as Sting broke up the pin attempt and Davey rolled Vader up something like 10 seconds later. The first victim of Vader’s Moonsault should have needed medical assistance, let alone popping up 10 seconds afterwards in order to do a roll-up. Thankfully they had Sting break up the count at least so Vader’s new MDK move didn’t get kicked out of. The match itself was fine, but felt more like a TV Main Event as opposed to a Main Event of a pay per view. Still, the crowd was with it and it had the desired effect of setting up Davey for another Title shot, so I’ll give it a pass

In Conclusion

Beach Blast is one of those shows that benefits greatly from being part of a streaming service as opposed to being a standalone event. If you paid £20 for it on it’s own, then it’d be touch and go as to whether it would be worth the money. It’s not an actively bad show, but there’s nothing great on it either and it felt more like a Clash of Champions level event rather than a pay per view. Lots of solid wrestling, but nothing spectacular, and when pay per views weren’t as common as they are now, I could see some being disappointed by this show due to how unremarkable it was.

However, 31 years removed on a streaming service like Peacock/WWE Network, Beach Blast is a decent enough use of three hours. The wrestling was mostly fine and the crowd got into most of the major matches, so it ended up being a reasonably easy watch for me. Some of the booking was annoying (such as the inconsistent enforcement of the over the top rope rule) but in general Beach Blast was a solid evening of wrestling and there wasn’t really anything bad on it. It’s middling at worst and okay at best, so maybe look at the matches with the best reputation and see what you think?

Mildly recommended show
