    The first thing you notice is that Larry doesnt do The Stall that would send the Meltzers and Scott Keiths of the world into apoplectic seizures of hate. Zbyszko knows this isnt a fieldhouse in Ladysmith, Wisconsin or some such shit. This is the Tokyo Dome and he brings it. I love the fact that Zbyszko is now looked favorably upon, proving that the wrestling critics are worth less than zero.

    Gorky Park had one semi-hit here in the states ("Bang"). I think it peaked at like #38 or so. They did that Russian Peace Festival concert (whatever it was called) that heavy metal manager Doc McGhee put together (after trying to smuggle hundreds of pounds of pot into the States from Mexico). Musically, they were kinda just the typical Hair Band. BTW, it was never called Hair Metal until after the fad was over. Back then, we called it either "Pop Metal", "Pop Rock", "Glam" or "Light Metal". Im sure the babyfaces all got pictures with them. Pictures that would ultimately take up space on the Gimmick table, never moving, not even at the most remote, random house show. Kerry claiming that Anti-Drug is among the things the Von Erichs stand for sadly got a snicker out of the Sportatorium crowd. The little blond in the leather, who I guess is the band's American rep, gazes into Kerry's Dumb Jock eyes and you can hear her panties moistening.

    I'll admit that my knowledge of Japanese wrestling is slightly better than baseline. I had never seen Naoki Sano before (that I remember anyway) and he gave an immediate Eddie Edwards vibe to me. Im an admitted Liger mark and this match just kicked my ass. Liger makes Sano his bitch early with slaps. Sano retaliates like a fucking beast, beating the hell out of Liger and tearing the mask all to hell. I didnt know the backstory on this one but it brought the Hate. Liger nearly impales himself on the guardrail. I cant say enought about this one and I long for more of these two.

    I didnt think this was THAT bad. I was hoping for more though. I did love the two armdrags and that armbar that sounded like it just SNAPPED Liger's elbow.

    Im from the CWA/USWA/Jarretts territory, so it does kinda surprise me that Billy was so unknown and unseen around here. This was his first heel run in about 4 years and he'd keep turning back and forth for the next 7 or so. He and Jeff Jarrett were a pretty good team back in 1986/87 fueding with Downtown Bruno's guys like Pat Tanaka, Paul Diamond, Boy Tony, Big Bubba and Goliath. If you havent gotten those dvds from the Evansville Channel 7 tape (thats where me and my buds were in front of every saturday after American Bandstand), do it.

    For the record, this particular video is from about February 1989 or thereabouts.

    Lets not forget the accidental bump the poor photographer took onto the floor. He slipped on something (Renegades brand tobacco spit?) and just busts his ass.

    Fuller wasnt a bad little singer and guitarist here either. Dundee was being a dick there (or Bill just being Bill).

    I be yet another one that was shocked at how rabid the crowd was here for the Horsemen. I can only imagine what the response would have been for a TV taping like a week or so after the Clash. Jim Cornette points out a redhead in the front row, decked out all in black. That might have been his future wife, Heather. Not sure. But, I would bet that Corny and her had some really vile, perverted sex that night. Possibly like that one scene in Pink Flamingos where the chicken died.

    Was Andre doing anyl nitrate before the shoot here? He seemed way too cheerful

    That Browns jacket is just TACKY.

    The semi-racist jokes werent really a stretch for Lawler.
  13. ajtroma
    I wasnt disappointed at all in this one. Arn's on a Power Hour roll here. The Muta match was damn fun and this one was just ALL MAN. Buzz tries to vertically impale Arn through the ringpost and the whole damn ring sways. Sick

    I hope Lawler retired those tights. They were WAY too sheer for Lawler to be sporting (Missy Hyatt on the other hand...) plus he had a camel toe going. At least the Cartman-looking kid laughed and was a sport about it.

    What color was Gary going for here? Im assuming red but it did not come out quite right. I like that he just pretends it looks cool. Ive had to do that a time or two after errant dye jobs. Im now doing the occasional Just for Men, which Im sure Gary Young is no stranger to either

    Sherri's body was just stacked here! I mean, wow!

    Beefcake continues to be one of the most obnoxious wrestlers ever. I think that was George South getting his hair just butchered. I hope the money helped George's kids get that orthadonture done or someting at least contstructive. I HATE HATE motherfuckin HATE that Hogan-esqe "Bug your eyes out and puff your cheeks" face Beefcake does. The other guys on here reference Inspector Gadget, but my first thought was Secret Squirrel. I watched more Cartoon Express with the old Hanna Barbara than I did any Inspector Gadget or any of those other glorified, quasi-legal informercials for toys. Beefcake is just a real asshole in this whole thing, strutting like an idiot, attempting to chop Martel's fingers off with his oversized (compensate much?) shears, shredding a perfectly good coat and hat. Did Martel get any comeback for this? If not, then thats a steamy creamy load. I HATE Brutus

    I have never once seen any of that CWA (read about it for years) and this was quite the introduction. The gal looking lustfully in the camera at the end was humorous. Could have sworn that I saw a quick shot of girls in cages, Scorpions-style, so I guess thats a German music video motif.

    It didn't. Explain. Berserker and Fuji strapped Jameson to some wood. After unsuccessfully trying to set it on fire in the studio, they proceed to the roof. Berserker heaves the whole thing ("Jameson" included, even though its obvious its a mannequin or dummy of some sort) over the side. The audience pops. Here's the viking ceremony part. The attempted murder not included, damn.

    It went nowhere. Jamie left/got fired. We wouldnt see him again until PG-13 shows up
  21. ajtroma
    I remember a few weeks later that Hacksaw Duggan blew up Heenan's rental with a grenade. Did The Berserker nearly killing Jameson make the set?
  22. ajtroma
    The ropes were shockingly loose though.
  23. ajtroma
    Im about 99.9999 percent sure that this is Jennifer Jarrett.

    SoA was there a few months prior as Humongus. He's clipped off the bleached rat-tail. Here he would team occasionally with...The Warrior. New Jersey indy stalwart Jimmy Atlas comes in with the others from that area (Sandman & JT Smith) and becomes the most blatant Hellwig ripoff youve ever seen. That includes Renegade. It was so bad that the graphics for the MSC cards had a profile shot of Hellwig. I guess we were supposed to think Ultimate Warrior was in the 3rd match vs Tony Falk.

    Just for the sake of "WTF", I recommend the Memphis videos and appearances of Chilly B. Cool, Headbanger Ed, and the Dream Weaver (Del Wilkes). Plus Freddy, Jason and the rest of the Creature Feature show they had here at the time.
