[1990-04-14-PNW-TV] Scotty the Body Arm Wrestling Challenge
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Piper showing up was really fun, and I liked Raven here. Madril was actually pretty damn entertaining as the narrator. -
Haynes being a dick to Cossie doesn't make him a heel to me. Terrible announcer, even if Raven makes him look passable. I think that the "valet" was just out there to hold the hat and then showed her heelish persona by drooling all over the now-evil Billy Jack.
-
Haynes turning on Oregon is pretty incredible. After watching the Portland set I wondered how he could ever go heel in Portland. Also, him turning on Rip Oliver and his son is all kinds of poetic. The promo could have been executed with a bit more...professionalism I guess. But I don't think Billy Jack was ever the best promo, so I'll give him this one.

[1990-04-14-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Ric Flair and Lex Luger
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Great stuff by the Horsemen. Luger was pretty damn over as a babyface and this had to help with that. How will WCW handle Sting coming back with Luger already positioned as the heir apparent anyway? -
[1990-04-14-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] "THINK IT OVER, CREEP!"
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Poor, poor Sting. The guy goes from for sure next World Champ to....this. No questions where his career started it's downward spiral. -
[1990-04-13-WWF/AJPW Summit] Randy Savage vs Genichiro Tenryu
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Loved everything about this. Sherri was incredible throughout the whole thing. Savage and Tenryu worked a great match for the time they were given, but Sherri completely stole the show.- 19 replies

[1990-04-01-WWF-Wrestlemania VI] Steve Allen and the Bolsheviks
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
This was funny. Good on the Bolsheviks for playing up their end the way they should have. -
Great promo by Jake and post-match was perfect. Starting to think Ted had something to do with how great this feud was for where it was on the card.

Good shoot-y striker vs grappler to start. Then we go into ECW style arena dragging. That made me pay attention for sure. Both guys get bloodied up and try to put each other away with big, stiff bombs. Then when they both stay down for the count, some asshole comes out to call them pussies and tell them how they should still be fighting. My guess is this guy is some kind of hero of bloodbath type slugfests, and I hope he is or he's got no business being out there. The restart takes way too long and it's probably because both guys are legitimately gone. Good desperation slugfest as both guys are tripping over themselves for maybe a minute. Then they both get dragged to the back while the asshole tells us how great either his promotion or those two guys are. Strange, strange stuff, definitely one that sticks with you.

[1990-04-01-WWF-Wrestlemania VI] Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
I agree with the comic book come to life as well. Too long on some of the spots but I get what they were after. Good enough for being a Hogan/Warrior match. -
Buzz is awesome with his crazy grunts. I want Sullivan's idea of them as tweeners who just mess with everyone.
-
Why is Jimmy Valiant madness so much easier for me to accept than the Hogan/Warrior stuff? But it is, so yeah.

[1990-03-31-TWA-Spring Spectacular] Jerry Lawler vs Kerry Von Erich
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Lawler had to do something to make this dog work. I did like Kerry not coming off as a complete musclehead.- 10 replies

[1990-03-17-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Heenan Family
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
You cold tell Haku loved working with Bobby. Heenan of course cuts a great promo that is actually focused. -
[1990-03-03-USWA-Memphis TV] Music Video: Southern Rockers / Jimmy Valiant spot
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Jimmy Valiant is pretty stoked to be champ. Southern Rockers are...kinda iffy, but if they only had a few matches to pull from I get it. -
[1990-03-30-USWA Texas] Jeff Jarrett & Bill Dundee vs Robert Fuller & Brian Lee
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Jarrett's hot tag was actually really good. Good tag match from a team that no longer exists, now in both sides of the territory.- 10 replies

[1990-03-31-TWA-Spring Spectacular] D.C. Drake vs Larry Winters ('I Quit')
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Opening made Drake seem very much like a fifth rate Stan Hansen. Press box stuff was great until Drake just.....left? Then the match drags and drags until it mercifully ends.- 10 replies

[1990-03-31-WWF-Superstars] Jesse Ventura makes up his mind
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Jesse plays it perfectly Jesse here and doesn't pick. Good stuff. -
[1990-03-17-WWF-Superstars] Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior promos
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
So I started to not bother listening because...well, Hogan and Warrior promos. HO KHOGAN is about the only thing I catch because it amuses me.- 10 replies

[1990-03-19-WWF-MSG, NY] Ultimate Warrior vs Mr Perfect
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Perfect gets points for trying. Warrior....should go away? Yeah, that with no question mark. -
[1990-03-10-WWF-Superstars] Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior promos
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Random thought during Hogan/Warrior promos #2. What happens if (and I think this was about the time time capsules were a big deal) some fan from this time who worshipped this feud put all the promos and no match footage into their time capsule? How do future generations react to the epic battle of words between HO KHOGAN and the Warrrya?- 12 replies

[1990-03-03-WWF-Superstars] Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior promos
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
So I started halfways zoning out during these and letting my mind just go wherever. Because it's easier than trying to make sense of this stuff. Who did more drugs? These two during this feud, Juventud Guerrera, or the Eagles in the 80s?- 10 replies

[1990-03-31-WWF-Superstars] Wrestlemania VI Report w/Gene Okerlund
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
A couple of those undercard matches looked really throwaway to me. Steve Allen was the highlight here. -
[1990-03-31-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Interview: Sting ... he works out!
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Repeating the same exact promo on an exercise bike in no way makes me more excited to see him back. Not that it's a bad promo, but he did it once before.
