[1990-03-08] Entertainment Tonight: Superstar Graham & Bruno Sammartino
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
I think that in this video "wrestling" is equated with "the WWF". That would account for the numbers mentioned.- 12 replies

[1990-03-24-USWA-Championship Sports] Eric Embry and Devastation Inc.
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Pringle really shines here, very unexpectedly. Embry is damn good too, with the heels bringing the pain and the cowardice when they ought to.- 10 replies

Dandy playing a subtle rudo throughout and then ramping it up at the end was great. Lacked direction through the first two falls though.

Lawler knocks another one out of the park, this time running down Jeff Jarrett. Can't argue with that at all.- 11 replies

[1990-03-16-NWA-Power Hour] Louisville Slugger: Ole Anderson
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Ole is a great promo. I love how he uses his character and natural intimidating nature. Just he had shit to work with at this point so it's hard to love where this goes. Luckily Doom lost the masks so we can just recycle those.- 11 replies

[1990-03-03-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler vs Jimmy Valiant
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
I was thinking that about Valiant myself. There aren't many who can make the crowd boo Lawler in Memphis anymore. That has to be why Valiant is here. He's definitely not much in the ring, but they keep it simple enough and it works. Good to see a ref bump go against Lawler for once.- 10 replies

That's two guys now, Foley and DDP, who really picked up their game. It's cool to see where they came from, as long as it's not every awful step along the way to finding the right formula.

ICW is absolutely bizarre. But hey, at least they have the sense to keep a good amount of homophobia in store. And that guy's lisp seemed really forced.

Terrible match. Did I imagine it or is Atlas actually a babyface? Turning perhaps?

[1990-03-21-USWA-Evansville TV] Robert Fuller local promo
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Really loving Robert Fuller so far. I'm thining he's a guy who really gets lost in the mainstream shuffle for not having a mainstream run as himself.- 9 replies

I loved Estrada taking advantage of the shoulder he injured to end the second fall. Satanico fighting through it and avoiding Estrada's attempts at finishing him definitively long enough to catch him off-guard was a great, meaningful third fall. Satanico the tecnico may be better than Satanico the rudo.

Loved this whole thing. Lawler proving his connections then getting all sulky was all kinds of incredible. Also, Jerry Lawler is NOT angry. Don't you even think that for a second. Might get a good right hand for shit like that if you're not Dave.

[1990-03-03-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler and Chris Champion
dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Champion kind of lives up to the brainless comment by sticking around long enough for Lawler to hit him. Lawler is on a tear the last 2 weeks! So good too, but I agree with Loss that he needed a babyface who could keep up with him. Preferably one Lawler could have made jump through hoops for a while before the showdown.- 10 replies

Saw somebody eating the pie for sure once it came out. Poor Nate. Lawler is just such a rotten bastard here even the Memphis studio turns on him.

Great stuff here with Tenryu continuing to be jobbed out. Poor bastard gave his notice way too early.

I was wondering if Yatsu had given his notice as well. He gets run over without getting to do much at all.

I tried following this thing pretty close. Here's what I got... First fall goes fine until Pierroth hurts himself in a really bad ring malfunction. Looks like Estrada is avoiding Texano throughout. Rudos lose first fall off-camera and then the tecnicos cover for the unmasking of Pierroth while he is attended to. Dandy and Texano, being tag partners, try to convince Azteca to leave. He won't. Fuerza tries to help by just tossing Azteca out every chance he gets. Rudos take second fall anyway with Estrada halways wasting time on Azteca before he realizes Azteca should be gone, so then Estrada just stops and goes back to doing anything else. Azteca refuses to leave between falls despite both of his partners and the refs trying to get him out. Fuerza again puts him on his ass outside. Azteca comes back in and more arguing, Fuerza goes with it for a bit before legit slamming Azteca and pinning him so he can't get out of the count. Azteca is still in the way so Texano just tombstones Estrada, keeping with the Cowboys rivalry with Estrada from the start but just...backwards? DQ ensues. Azteca is still arguing with Dandy about why Texano didn't leave. Seems pretty obvious Azteca was the right choice, to everyone but Azteca. I thought Azteca was easily the weakest guy in the match also, despite his amazing headgear coming in. These guys having a legitimate argument over who should leave throughout falls 2 and 3 is mind-blowing to me. I dug Fuerza being scared shitless of going to the ropes as well, and Estrada doing that Buddy Rose floor bump was incredible. Estrada is a guy I need to see a lot more of. Angel Azteca seems like a real asshole.

Okay, so I wanted this to be as awesome as it should be. Only the crowd SUCKED. Seriously, nobody made a peep despite Perro absolutely mauling Hamada. Looked to me like Perro got pissed at the crowd. Throwng the chairs at them was a nice touch, almost Hansen-esque. Then we get the shitty first fall finish. Oh aand the crowd reacted the biggest they do all match to the ref getting kicked in the face. Fuck you. Apparently Hamada has no idea that finish is coming..or the ref because he started giving Hamada a 5 count on a chinlock? Fuck me, this crowd got killed by that finish too and Perro is doing everything he can to drag a reaction out of them. Including stealing a beer bottle and bashing Hamada over the head with it. Now Perro is just punching the fuck out of Hamada until he gets a reaction. While watching this I asked out loud, "how much pain does Hamada have to go through for you fuckers to react?" Crowd gets into it but it looks like we're out of time and Perro kills Hamada with the top rope stomp for three and isn't satisfied. Fuck this crowd!

dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
I thought they were way off time with each other on lot of spots and the match looked sloppy as shit. Not real high on Asai/Ultimo though, so that ma have something to do with it.- 10 replies

[1990-02-03-WWF-Superstars] Jake Roberts vs Ted DiBiase

Really well-executed all-around. I wish more turns were as well-carried-off as this was. -
Tenryu vs. Choshu is ridiculous kinds of incredible. I want this to be a feud now. Right fucking now. Anyway, action-packed match built around that, blast to watch.

One thing about commentary. Funk is using the same words he did pre-Cornette taking over, but his colleagues always seem to think that means he's bitter. Very strange. -

That first powerbomb should have ended it. Not a fan of the deathmatch style at all, so I have little else to add.- 17 replies
