    If you thought this was sleazy, you should have seen some of the ads that were on USA Up All Night.

    Most of these Dallas matches were just the standard house show matches you'd get. This one is like a spot show in the remotest part of the territory that Lawler would still be willing to make at this point. So like, Malden, Missouri or something.

    I forgot to mention that this was the episode of the NEW Prime Time that Vince "took out of Bobbys bag" a box of Patriot Defense Condoms. Vince: "I guess you have the same problem Saddam Hussein had. You dont know when to pull out".

    You could see Bobby clearly loading the barf into his mouth. He wasnt peaking his head behind the curtains for effect. I did laugh at Alfred, unsuccessfully, trying not to break up.

    You can tell when Jim Ross clearly hated something back then. Instead of the rather bluntness or euphemisms with bowling shoes he'd be known for in later days, here he totally would really give off such a condescending phoniness. It didnt help anything. We know it sucks. You know it sucks. At least try, dude. Solie would try. Russell would try.

    Diamond Dallas Page has never heard a cliche he hated. This man was so tacky, obnoxious, and downright hack.

    To me, El Hijo Del Santo is just too damn cool and cant do any wrongs. He's like my Mexican Liger.

    One thing of note here is the debut of referee Scott Bowden. Jerry Calhoun quit over personal issues with Lawler (best left unsaid here). Just yet another departure and further proof the Glory Days of Memphis were gone.

    Pretty sure they were changing bookers at around this point. Embry got the book and systematically tried to kill off all the local heroes. All the babyfaces that were around at this time still detest Eric.

    Why is it that it was shit like this that the wrestling haters at school saw and would bust my balls over?

    Great match but the hell of it is, WCW never did a rematch between the two.

    Sid nearly killing Pillman and then GOING FOR ANOTHER ONE shows that our buddy Sid is a true idiot. I'd never seen this one before tonight and it was very good. Not 1992 or 1987 good but its probably number three on the list. I think Arn had a herniated disc, but not sure. Rick Steiner trying to do a figure four was rather comical. Pillman? Jeez, what else can be said. Just tremendous.

    The Cruel Connection bodysuit always about made my eyeballs bleed. I guess George's Gladiator gear ripped or something. Most of my friends thought El Gigante vs Flair was just ludicrous. I had to agree.

    Walker & Thompson were, for a week, known as "The U.S. Male Revue", which if that isnt a name for a traveling strip show, I've never heard one. I figured Walker would be a bigger star than he was (he did make it to WWF for like 4 months) with his David Coverdale head on Ultimate Warrior body. Thompson would continue his Essential Services Gimmick Motif a few months from this by becoming a Firebreaker. Austin and Jarrett had fine matches here and I wonder if looking back, Jarrett would have treated Austin differently. I mean, really, Jeff. You were making the same money Austin made per week at the gimmick table before intermission was over. You had to be a snot, didnt you, Mr. BMOC? Bit you in the ass, didnt it?

    This had to be an inside rib on someone.

    I'd forgotten this one as well. Now that I see it again, Im shocked this type of video wasnt ripped off repeatedly until it became a cliche.

    This was all just WAY too much fun. The fans, literally, carry Hijo on their shoulders to the ring. I'm surprised Lawler never pulled that now that I think of it. I loved the little kid wearing a The Cure t-shirt in the second skit. Im a mark for masks being soaked with blood from the inside.

    I have only a vague memory of what Max Andrews even looks like. I dont think he ever once showed up in Memphis. And thus begins the run of J.C. Ice Baby. I never understood his appeal. I remember going to spot shows and the college aged girls would be screaming "Fuck Me, JC, Fuck Me!!!"

    Eddie's back after a quick trip to Canada (at least thats where the Apter mags said he went. The CNWA? Something like that) and Lawler and the crew pull a pretty convincing little story out of their collective ass to tie this whole Lawler-Fabs-Funk bounty-Gilbert mess together. Thats the split-second thinking-on-your-feet creativity I love from Memphis wrestling. Amidst the brawl, Lawler rips Eddie's very new looking, super trendy Guess t-shirt, which were NOT cheap. I bet there was mild heat there for that one. In the dozen or so folks that came to break this up was Eli the Eliminator. I'd forgotten his little two-week run here. Jerry Lynn had some serious hair back then.

    I remember reading an issue of Sports Illustrated in a waiting room that just took a mighty shit all over this special.

    I think every promotion by this time copied the Royal Rumble (with some other clever name) at least once. Michael St. John is a blithering idiot. Or course, after he leaves, we here in Jarrett-land have Corey Macklin inflicted upon us. What we all did in a previous life to deserve him, I'll never know.

    IIRC, the Chicago Pro show was matches recylced from a couple weeks prior that was seen on the other shows. Dont hold me to that. I do remember there being repeated matches from syndication on TBS and vice versa.

    The whole production here was so ham-handed that my skin just crawled.

    If you would have told me in July of 1990 that it would be friggin Sgt. Slaughter who defeats the Warrior for the gold, I'd have laughed in your face.

    As good as this stuff was, I really dont think it did shit for the gate.
