[1990-08-26-NWA-Main Event] Midnight Express vs Rock & Roll Express
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
1990 is making me into a Bobby Eaton fan for sure. Could have used a lot more in this match, but it wasn't a BAD match. -
[1990-08-31-NWA-Power Hour] Louisville Slugger: Sting & Black Scorpion
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
I was wondering if it stood out to anyone how obvious it was that Ole was voicing the Black Scorpion. Anyway, kudos to Ole for more awful booking. Was his intent to dig the NWA into a massive hole they could never quite recover from? Because it seems like it worked. -
[1990-08-29-USWA-Evansville TV] Eddie Gilbert and Dirty White Boy local promo
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Gilbert is such a great talker. Why the big 2 never found a half decent use for him I don't understand.- 10 replies

[1990-08-25-USWA-Championship Sports] Jeff Jarrett and Devastation Inc.
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Good stuff from everybody, which is really surprising. Craig finally manages to act like a horrible thing that happens is...horrible. That's amazing! Akbar does really well too, and I'm not usually a fan of his work.- 9 replies

[1990-08-25-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Interview: Four Horsemen
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Flair can sell me on just about anything I'm sure. No way I would have believed he could sell me a rematch with Luger for the U.S. belt is important, but Flair does it incredibly well. Imagine what he's be able to do with solid booking. Not that he's going to get that ever again in WCW. -
[1990-08-24-NWA-Power Hour] Louisville Slugger: Ric Flair
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Flair is in the middle of so much stuff right now. Ole's booking is mind-boggling. -
[1990-08-27-WWF-Summerslam] Hart Foundation vs Demolition (2/3 falls)
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Didn't care for the way they booked the finish. I barely know who Demolition is and I can tell you who is in the ring at all times. The early match conversation between Vince and Roddy didn't sell me at all on Ax and Smash looking alike. -
[1990-08-31-AJPW-Summer Action Series II] Jumbo Tsuruta vs Kenta Kobashi
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
I think Kobashi got a lot of respect from both Jumbo and Hansen for going balls to the wall 100% of the time. They both tend to give him way more than he should get when they get the chance.- 10 replies

[1990-08-27-WWF-Summerslam] The Rockers vs Power & Glory
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Marty looks golden here. How he never took off is a mystery to me. -
[1990-08-27-WWF-Summerslam] Mr Perfect vs Kerry Von Erich
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Perfect's selling of the discus punch was pretty amazing. Loved the Perfect/Brain stuff post-match as well. -
DWG getting hers despite cheating to get Tessa out of town was a nice touch. Vicki was pretty scary and I imagine she'd give ol' Billy a good fight.
-
Yeah, the cage match so there's no interference! Of course, once we mention that there somehow manages to be interference anyway when it happens.

Really want Lawler vs. Taylor to pan out now. Some great promo wars AND wrestling matches could ensue there. So it probably won't happen.

[1990-08-18-USWA-Championship Sports] Interview: Chris & Toni Adams
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Good setup for a convoluted match. Toni's idea for getting Jeannie in the penalty box was pretty good too.- 9 replies

Chris in the ring is horrendous. But you gotta give him points for trying I guess. Austin is coming along so well. Pringle is one of the highlights of this feud for me now. He's really good at playing the cowardly heel manager. Heel beatdown again...hooray?

Yeah, these heel beatdowns just go on and on and on and on and on...and on....so there is literally NOBODY backstage to come out and help?- 8 replies

[1990-08-18-USWA-Championship Sports] Jerry Lawler promo
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Lawler is really great in ways you just don't see him very often. Probably on purpose, saving these kinds of promos for when they are most effective.- 8 replies

That Evansville feed would have been awesome to have if any of these matches half lived up to what they ought to be.

[1990-08-11-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Interview: Sting & Lex Luger
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
I'm guessing Lex wasn't feeling all that motivated after all the BS he went through just or Sting to come back on top. Ole's run as booker is not looking too good. -
I liked this a lot more than Toyota vs. Hokuto. Bull and Aja as massive beasts beating the shit out of the junior partners was a lot of fun. It meandered in spots, but this is way more my type of wrestling.

[1990-08-19-AJW-Survival Shout in Korakuen] Manami Toyota vs Akira Hokuto
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Great legwork on Hokuto after the opening. The rest lost me.- 12 replies

[1990-08-18-NAWA-TV] Interview: Robert Fuller & Stud Stable
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in August 1990
Fuller as HTM would have been too good. Probably overshadowed a lot of the babyfaces in Vince's eyes. Usual great stuff from Fuller here.
