[1990-09-23-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Rick Rude and Bobby Heenan
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
I remember Heenan saying something about Rude never really wanting him as his manager. Rude apparently felt that Bobby stole some of his heat. You might take this as at least matching Bobby's performance in an attempt to seem like the alpha of the group. -
[1990-09-23-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Big Boss Man vs Paul Perez
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
Bossman and Heenan do some great work here. Bobby is incredible, but I imagine Vince thinks he's too old to keep doing crazy shit like that bump during the segment. His freaking out while handcuffed to the guard rails is so great. -
[1990-09-22-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Eddie Gilbert
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
Eddie shows a little bit of range in this, which I like. It still seems like a very Eddie Gilbert thing to bitch and moan about the car you won, then turn around and complain about it being stolen. -
[1990-09-22-Maritimes] Rip Rogers vs Big Stephen Pettipas
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
Pettipas wrestles way different than you would expect, but nothing too special. Rogers is really, really good. I'm in the same boat wondering why he's in Grand Prix. He's at least good enough to be on the WCW midcard if not a bit better.- 9 replies

[1990-09-22-NWA-Pro] Ric Flair & Arn Anderson vs Brian Pillman & Tom Zenk
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
I disagree on the Zenk hot tag, but I am pretty biased to do that. Pillman was a lot of fun against both Flair and Arn. Not sure I've ever seen a DQ for a move done on the floor. -
[1990-09-22-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Sgt. Slaughter
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
I thought Brother Love did great with this. I am in agreement that this was a terrible idea, but the execution seems to work for the people involved, including Piper. -
Bobby Eaton is so incredible. Scotty is good at this point, but not near good enough to have a match like this without a LOT of help.

[1990-09-21-EMLL] Rayo de Jalisco Jr vs Cien Caras (Mask vs Mask)
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
I'll echo a lot of the above. The guitar shot and strut, the well-timed comebacks, the crowd and Caras being a complete dick about taking off the mask. Not the most technical or spectacular match, but it works.- 12 replies

Satanico sure got hot quick after taking an accidental shot from Dandy. Nice chaotic end to things though.

Piper hardly killed the gimmick. The gimmick killed Tony Atlas really. What the Hell was the point of dressing a guy with the promo chops Atlas had like this exactly? Was this where Vince started to protect himself with the "You didn't make you, I made you" kind of shit he does all the time now?

[1990-09-16-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Interview: Dusty Rhodes
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
Dusty delivers big again with a promo. And you know, Dusty vs. Ted doesn't sound like a bad matchup in-ring at all. Even without the great promos involved. -
[1990-09-14-NWA-Power Hour] Louisville Slugger: Sid Vicious
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
So everywhere Sid goes he is going to rule the world? Not a bad promo, but I'm not sure there are any different Sid promos out there. -
Count me in on liking the Ace/Fulton interactions. I'm pretty certain I've never seen a bad Fantastics match in AJPW. Makes me wonder if they couldn't have bolstered the cruiserweight division in WCW a few years later.

Could have used at least 10 minutes less of the 3 (or 4) on 2 rudo beatdown. I guess we had to establish that the tecnicos are still tough.

Finish worked for what the match was, but Yatsu needed to be more assertive if he was going to be a foil for Tenryu.

[1990-09-14-NJPW] Big Van Vader vs Shinya Hashimoto
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
Vader and Hash beating the Hell out of each other can't be bad. It just wasn't overly good, but seems like there is more to come. -
The Brazos move around way better than their size would have you believe. Super Porky is a really fun character when not taken to ridiculous levels of camp.

Hase's ridiculous great blade job makes this. Muta shines, but not as much due to his own efforts as those of Hase.

[1990-09-05-NWA-Clash of the Champions XII] Ric Flair vs Lex Luger
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
Not as good as earlier in the year, but still better than the Sting match. I suppose they had to give this less time being the semi-main and all. -
I'd like to comment on the action here, however.... Goodbye Tony Falk!! I won't miss you!! Goodbye Craig Johnson! You were getting better but not good enough!

[1990-09-08-USWA-Memphis TV] Bill Dundee, Jerry Lawler and the Gilberts
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in September 1990
Again I thought this post-match beating went on too long, but it is Memphis I guess. It wasn't in any way badly done. Lawler's promo is brilliant as always and I so wan to see some Lawler vs. Gilbert footage.
