Flyin' Brian vs. Ricky Steamboat

[6.0] "This was the debut of Ricky Steamboat's Slam Jam theme song, and it has surely got to rank up there as one of the most hilariously awful themes ever - it sounds like the intro to a sitcom! The match was good, though. Pillman did well using some underhanded tactics to gain the advantage over Steamboat, forcing Steamboat to use his veteran cunning to cause Pillman's plan to backfire. I would have liked to see the match get more time to develop, but for a TV opener this was solid."

[7.0] "Very good old-fashioned heel/babyface dynamic here, with both playing their roles to perfection. Steamboat's selling of the leg was good and you felt he was really desperate, only managing to squeak out the win by the skin of his teeth."
