    Maybe it was more a comment on how the promotion felt about Marc Lowrance? More heat put on what has been an entertaining angle so far. Austin shows great poise on the microphone and continues to look like a future star. Lowrance mentions that Jeannie may keep tear gas in her purse to keep from getting raped, which is a good idea, what with hanging out in the same building as Bill Dundee every week and all.

    Poor Tessa. She has John Tatum beating her up and Bill Dundee forcing herself on her. Any rational woman would have left treadmarks getting the hell out of wrestling by this point.

    Good work out of Von Erich here. I know his promos have often been highlights on this yearbook for the wrong reasons, but he does a good job here at showing how badly he wants to get his hands on Borne for what he did to his little (and I do mean little) brother Chris.

    This seems like a promo Lawler cuts if he thinks he's eventually dropping the belt to Von Erich. Either that, or he's burying the poor guy.

    Matt Borne should have been thrown in jail for child abuse for what he did to poor Chris Von Erich. The youngest Von Erich really has absolutely no business being anywhere near a wrestling ring, as he isn't even a passable promo here, but with his bloodlines, it was inevitable.

    I guess wrestling promotions advertising during other wrestling TV programs is a practice that goes back quite a ways.

    Marc Lowrance has added a goofy sort of professionalism to the often times wildly unprofessional Texas branch of the USWA, and that will be missed. I know this will pick up some more later when Kerry Von Erich leaves for the WWF, but this feels like another step towards the old World Class territory dying up for good.

    Great promo by Michael Hayes. He still had a lot to offer in a verbal capacity in 1990, even if he's shot as a worker. Funny segment when the Rock 'n' Roll hit the ring and Cornette immediately starts kissing their ass to save his hide. Fun segment that makes an otherwise unimportant low card tag feud have a little bit of meaning.

    What Ole and Arn don't seem to be understanding is that RoboCop isn't just a cop...he's a Robotic Cop. I mean, it's right there in the name, RoboCop. Good promo by all involved. This is "out of his mind" Flair, and that's probably my favorite incarnation of his. Nice to see the NWA focusing on getting the Horsemen back to full strength.

    Ric Flair rockin' the pony feels...wrong. And just to hammer home the point, the ponytail comes out during the match. Good, short TV match that is more about setting up the angle than anything, but Flair bumps his ass off to put over Luger. And hey, Barry Windham's back. It's a damn shame he wasn't anywhere to be found for the first four months of the Yearbook but I'm glad to have him back.

    So I watched the Tatum/Dundee match and the lucha trios match, and was settling in for a night of Yearbook watching...and then I saw the Warrior and decided now would be a good time to finish this week's episode of UWC Championship Wrestling (cheap plug). I'm honestly just trying to find out what was Warrior's appeal? How was this weird dude with the face paint who didn't make much sense when he talked popular? When I was a kid, I was the only Hulkamaniac in my group of friends. Everybody else liked Warrior. I didn't understand it then, and I still don't understand it now.

    Fun lucha trios match. There's some teasing of an Atlantis/Dandy split, but Atlantis looks like the heel, whining about two accidental shots when they won the match.

    Tessa looks like she is straight out of a Whitesnake video. Tatum is pretty great at being an unsettling douche, and I want to see how this plays out. Interesting that Texas is running two storylines using women at the same time, during a period where most promotions only had maybe one or two women at most under contract.

    So on the biggest WWF show of the year, the show where they blow off all of their biggest storylines from the past year, the show that an entire year's worth of booking culminates towards...just over half of the matches had storyline buildup? And that's supposed to make your point? And what was the storyline between the Rockers and the Orient Express? I do not remember those two having done anything going into this show.
  15. Cox
    This was a ton of fun. Both of these guys would wind up having careers of various success, but I don't know that they had a ton of matches better than this one. This is like Low Ki vs Bryan Danielson + a ton of old school hatred. Just two dudes trying to maim each other, but using state of the art moves to do it. Not that it would have saved them, but it says something when these two guys are having matches like this right in the AWA's home territory, and neither one of them can get a shot there. Looking forward to seeing these guys bring the hate even more in the future.
  16. Cox
    Too bad that Flair/Zbyszko match never happened. Good promo out of Flair.
  17. Cox
    When did the Lawler show go off the air? I wonder what an episode of this show looked like in 1990, with Lawler still a heel.
  18. Cox
    This feud is a pretty big sign that Bad News was on his way out, as you don't spend two and a half years being pushed as a fearless Harlem street brawler, only to be made to look like a pussy who is afraid of rubber snakes, and come back from that. Jake is doing his best to make this a compelling feud, and I liked the little touch with him apologizing to Okerlund, but there isn't much he can do to make this look good.
  19. Cox
    I continue to like these, but continue to wish he was building towards an actual program, rather than just talking about himself. It's too bad he wasn't in an actual territory, like either side of the Memphis territory or Portland or somewhere, maybe even the AWA, because I suspect that would have been a better use of him.

    As somebody who lives in New Jersey, I have to say, that is NOT a Jersey accent. That is a Staten Island accent. Not saying that there aren't New Jerseyans with awful accents, but that isn't our particular regional dialect. And NOBODY here ever says Joisey, dammit. Anyway, this segment. It's pretty much everything you'd expect out of a teenage Staten Island chick interviewing a blatant Super Mario ripoff gimmick, with hints of Italian stereotyping thrown in for good measure. All this was missing was Super Mario saying "That's a spicy meatball!"
  21. Cox
    Heenan is trying to keep this program grounded in our universe, but Warrior has no interest in such things.
  22. Cox
    There is a lot to dislike about WWE scripting their guys, but it's too bad they never scripted Warrior. There might have a lick of sense in his promos.
  23. Cox
    Fun tag team match. It's weird that the Harts, in line to get tag team title matches around the horn with Demolition, can't beat the Rockers, who lost to the Orient Express at Wrestlemania, but the WWF pecking order doesn't always make sense.
  24. Cox
    I suppose that means we now have one fewer member of the Vince Haters Society. Ole Anderson weeps.

    Corino is one of those deceptively tall folks; he's actually 6'3", but he doesn't look like it because he's never had much of a body.
