[1990-05-26-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Interview: Ric Flair
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
This is totally bizarre. What is Flair talking about high fiving Michael Jackson? This stinks. This is when WCW starts falling from the great start they had earlier in the year.- 10 replies

Hmm, this is some kind of juxtaposition between the Memphis angle. Kind of bummed Rocky King was just being used to get JYD over, I would have preferred to see him involved somehow.

[1990-05-26-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Lex Luger in the hospital
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
Lex looks very relaxed in his hospital bed, like he's laying on a beach towel. -
UHHHHHHHHH

[1990-05-26-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler and The Snowman
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
To echo PeteF, this is the best studio brawl I've ever seen and it doesn't look for a second like they're working. -
Wow this is better than the previous segment. It feels very tense and I'm not quite sure what each guy is going to say next and honestly Eddie Marlin feels like the real heel here.

[1990-05-26-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Koko B. Ware
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
That nasty old bird around the food is gross. -
Kabuki and co continuing to wrestle around the pull a parts in the middle is such an awesome touch, I thought that was so great. This is a pretty emotional match, seeing this as the start everything that carries the company through the decade. Just a great dynamic of old veterans vs youngsters. You can really feel the youth and speed starting to get the best of the veterans, but they respond with punishing offense to keep them in line. Taue looks really good here and makes himself stand out here. I really like the rolls being played here, Misawa seems like the leader, Taue the muscle, Kobashi to take the beating. Yeah, great match.

[1990-05-25-USWA Texas] Steve Austin vs Chris Adams (Barbed Wire)
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
Austin looks good, the gashes on his back are nasty and really do a great job of inadvertently selling the barbed wire as dangerous. I really loved the finish here, Adams up in a slam just about to be dropped on the barbs but he manages to reverse it into a kind of crucifix pin. Really good, best of the feud so far.- 12 replies

[1990-05-25-USWA Texas] Kerry Von Erich vs Matt Borne
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
Alright, some good brawling and some hot discuss punches from Kerry, this was good. And especially good was Percy Pringle somehow getting involved, albeit inadvertently....- 9 replies

[1990-05-19-USWA-Championship Sports] Interview: Matt Borne
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
Learning that there's a Percy heel turn coming makes all these interactions pretty interesting. I'll be keeping a closer eye from now on. Good promo by Borne too, I don't know, it alarmist came off like a face promo to me.- 9 replies

Really cool footage of street vendors here, and brothers, can you even imagine how delicious those tortas are that the lady was making?

It feels like Austin is improving every promo, very cool to see the improvement and evolution.

[1990-05-19-NWA-Capital Combat] Rock & Roll Express vs Fabulous Freebirds
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
Wait what is this about whips? This is a strap match of some kind? This is as a result of the freebirds whipping the rnr with the belt on tv right? This is another match I've seen several times and I don't remember anything about whips or belts. -
[1990-05-19-NWA-Capital Combat] Junkyard Dog and Jim Cornette
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
Funny promo. I was thinking this was the "north cackalacka and south cackalacka" promo but that's a different one I guess.- 12 replies

[1990-05-19-USWA-Championship Sports] Bill Dundee and John Tatum
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
Tatum has really stood out in this feud. I've really enjoyed him and he really comes off unstable, and actually pretty nuanced. There's some delusions of grandeur and jealously and rage, it's very good character work.- 10 replies

I thought Percy was the real star here. Very reasonable and honestly I thought Kerry was ready for a heel turn.

[1990-05-19-NWA-Capital Combat] Sting, Robocop and the Four Horsemen
drew wardlaw replied to Loss's topic in May 1990
The strangest part of this to me was the camera work and the kind of interrupted transmission feed we got with Gordon. I mean, I get what they were going for I guess, but it doesn't make much sense.- 15 replies

The ponytail is off now and Sid is silent in a tux. Not much else to say here.
