Randy Savage vs. Ric Flair

This isn't the title change from late 92 is it?
I don't think so, I think its a random match from Raw or something.
It's a title match, but no change happens, it's a decent match, but the thing about the tape is that a lot of the matches have lame finishes, this match included.

Oh well it's still Flair/Savage so it should be decentish.... is Bret/HBK any good? Is it exclusive to this video or also featured on other colliseum videos- there seems to be a Bret/Shawn match on pretty much all of the 91-93 WWF Official comps....

My questions are regarding the Stone Cold/Coach/JR debacle:- Why did Austin leave at the last minute? Was he only informed of the conclusion of the angle just before Taboo Tuesday or was he attempting to have the bookers change it?- Did Austin really injure himself moving furniture? That seems a bit suspicious, given the timing and the context of it all...- Wouldn't a wrestler cause breach of contract by walking out on the company? Have WWE ever acted on this with any superstar?- Is there any word on Austin's current relationship with WWE or his movie deal?

I believe Austin was informed of the plans to job him to Coach over the weekend prior to Taboo Tuesday and the preceeding Raw. His reluctance to go through with the angle led to the drastic Raw rewrite on Monday, and the bringing in of Goldust and (the obviously unprepared) Vader on such short notice. Austin did legitamately hurt himself moving furniture, but many believe that he used the accident as an excuse- overplaying his injury, and that if he had been happy with the situation he would have gone through with the match anyway...As for a breach of contract, I'm not sure if Austin is under contract anymore, doesn't he just work on a per-appearence deal, similar to the Rock?

You have a bunch of dates wrong there, did you just guess them? Savage vs. Flair specifically isn't the title change from Prime Time in September 92, it was actually from a TV taping in June 92

For the Bret Hart-Yokozuna main event of Wrestlemania 9, were there any angles/face offs/clashes between the 2 wrestlers prior to the PPV?All I remember from the build up for this match is Bret Hart conducting an interview saying he knows he is the underdog but he is going to give it his best shot etc etc.In the main I recall most of that Wrestlemania build up to be the return of Hogan for the Hogan/Beefcake vs Money Inc matchBut surely there must have been some build up for the main event, and if not, that must be some kind of record.

I remember a contract signing, where Yoko overturned the table, than Banzai Splashed Bret.
