[1990-02-25-NWA-Wrestle War '90] Midnight Express vs Rock & Roll Express
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Excellent match here. This is a classic tag team match with two of the greatest teams in history. RnR dominates the beginning of the match as the Midnights struggle to come up with a game plan. The Midnights are able to get in control with a bodyslam on the outside to Morton and then spend the majority of the match working him over. There's some beautiful false hope tag attempts here and when Morton finally makes the tag the place comes unglued. This match is a real treat to watch. -
Entertaining promo from Tony Atlas where he rambles on about how great he is and only needs a woman for 2 hours. However, I found the Paul E. promos to be uninteresting.

First sighting of Paul E. on this set. The audio is distorted here so it is difficult to understand. Interesting to see Heyman wearing zubaz and a Hard Rock Cafe jacket.

[1990-02-24-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Lex Luger vs Rick Fargo
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Luger makes short work of Rick Fargo and then the Horsemen surround the ringside area. It appears that Luger is outnumbered but the Steiners come out to back him up. Last effort here to push the match for the next night. -
[1990-02-24-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Rick Steiner wears ROOS
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
This was the goofiest of all these commercials as Rick wore the shoes on his hands and walked like a dog. Very over the top. -
[1990-02-24-NWA-Worldwide] Fabulous Freebirds vs Brian Pillman & Tom Zenk
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
This is the finals of the US Tag Team Title tournament and we see Pillman and Zenk pick up the win. I don't really see the point of the US tag titles. -
[1990-02-24-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler vs The Destroyer
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Lawler is still steaming over the water incident and he makes short work of The Destroyer. This was a good end to the USWA stuff for this date. This show did a great job of putting over Lawler and makes me want to see his match with Valiant.- 10 replies

[1990-02-24-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler vs Ben Jordan
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Lawler loses it after having the bucket of water dumped on him and he takes his frustrations out on Jordan. Chris Champion comes out and tries to put a stop to it and becomes a victim too. Good job of making Lawler look like a madman here.- 12 replies

Great string of angles here. Fuller cuts a great promo and the Stud Stable splits up. After seeing this I must say that I would much look forward to seeing Fuller on his own rather than Brian Lee. Nice angle and music video to set up Valiant vs Lawler. Kerry has a present from Valiant which turns out to be a bucket of water. This incites Lawler and results in a very interesting show.
-
Nice little segment here with Lawler acting like a prick and promoting his cleverly title cassette "Jerry Lawler Sings a Whole Bunch of Songs".

[1990-02-24-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Jake Roberts & Big Boss Man
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Very fun segment here where Boss Man gets even more over as a babyface when he assaults Brother Love. Ventura on commentary is great here as well.- 11 replies

This was used to build up for Mania with the accusations that Hogan was trying to steal Warrior's spotlight, when in reality he saved Warrior from being crushed by Earthquake. Hogan says he will watch Warrior's back 24/7 and I have no idea what Warrior says in his promo.

[1990-02-23-WWF-The Main Event] Interview: James 'Buster' Douglas

Buster Douglas seems to be having a good time here even though the promo is a bit ridiculous.- 9 replies

[1990-02-23-WWF-The Main Event] Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
This was a great overall package with the match and promos. Savage really made this whole thing, especially when he talks about tracing Tyson's family tree to find out he was a Hulkamaniac. A nice watch in hindsight when you take into account that 8 years later we see a similar finish at Mania with Tyson.- 15 replies

[1990-02-21-USWA-Evansville TV] Junkyard Dog local promo
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Good promo from JYD for a match that nobody wants to see. JYD always does a great job of putting over how he can beat his opponent while remaining humble and noting how he can be beat as well.- 11 replies

[1990-02-18-NWA-Main Event] Ric Flair & Arn Anderson vs Rock & Roll Express
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Another good tv match here. This was structured differently than I would expect.Rock & Roll Express get a great bit of the offense here which I found to be surprising and there seemed to be a lack of the hot tag. -
Nice to see that they just showed the finish of this one as it doesn't seem like it would be a very good match at all. Good promos from JYD and Lawler though.
-
Nice promo from Lawler here where he puts over his world championship and argues that it is more prestigious than the WWF and WCW's championships because it isn't defended in just one organization. While we all know that isn't true, he makes a good argument in his promo here.

[1990-02-17-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler Loves Wrestling Fans
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
This segment was great like all the others. One woman stands up to Lawler and talks trash to him and he tells another woman that if she wears blue people will try to put mail in her. There's even a Lawler supporter in this one.- 12 replies

[1990-02-17-NWA-Worldwide] Midnight Express vs Brian Pillman & Tom Zenk
Laney replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Decent tag match but nothing special here. I'm not a fan of the Pillman & Zenk tag-team. Nice reaction for the sleeper hold being put on Cornette. -
Great promo to set up a tv main event. Pillman stands up for Sting and a challenge is made.
-
The Horsemen give Luger basically the same ultimatum that they gave Sting at Clash. I know that they are using this to turn Luger face, but he still looks like a shithead when he smirks through this whole segment.
