Lorenzo Parente vs. Jim Wehba
(Larry’s thoughts… Many observers felt that the trend of making a match for a television show like Raw was so new and inventive. Granted,
today’s creative team probably had no idea that this had been done before, but scanning through the St. Louis results will demonstrate a few
moments when Muchnick changed or made a match on TV to further an angle. Because it was not over done, it meant something when it
happened and usually led to a big gate. In fact, some of the 90-minute programs and usage of mid-level talent against stars very much resembles
what happened on WWE television at times in the 2000s.)
