We get a fireball to continue the feud. Snowman was throwing some haymakers in this match.
-
Wonder what them women were doing that came up into the camera angle?
-
This feud just keeps on going. I am so ready for savage to be positioned with someone else.
-
I liked the promo from the Birds even if they looked dated.
-
What type of superheros are these. Sting looks like a star but everyone else doesn't. Ross tries to hype up that the record book will show a Rocky King win but that seems hollow.
-
Thunderbolt being the surprise is a letdown and he looked broken down physically even here.
-
While the other two feuds keep ratcheting up the intensity this feud seems to be stumbling to the finish line. Percy is too cartoony for me and does he not have a key to the handcuffs he brought?
-
Really good action and another angle that is heating up in Texas. The cane shots looked pretty vicious.
-
I match where you know what the foregone conclusion will be but the way they milked it and Tatum added so many touches really helped put it over. My wife was really interested in this match and that is a rare occurrence.

Man I want to see the Dandy/Atlantis match because the heat when they are together was off the charts. I really enjoyed the arm work in this match and especially enjoyed the finish of the third fall. Childs description is accurate in that they didn't seem to be aiming for a classic with the structure of the match but the talent was so good at this point that it ended up close to being one.

Matt - For sure check out the 1990 Texas Borne stuff and I will check out 1993 Doink as Borne has really opened my eyes so far in 1990. I had been really indifferent to him but his Maniac character and intense brawling and promos has been fantastic so far.

As of right now: 1. Lex Luger - Someone who my perception was really hindered by his reputation among most internet wrestling fans. Watching his stuff for the podcast as well as the 1990 yearbook shows that he was a very good wrestler early on his career and utilized power moves and selling in his matches effectively. 2. Ric Flair - About a year ago, I was burned out on Flair. In fact, the only match that really hit me on the All Japan set was the 83 match with Jumbo. I just thought I had seen too much of the guy and couldn't appreciate new wrinkles he brought to the table. Again my podcast watching rekindled my love for Flair especially the Starrcade Garvin match which I think is just wonderful and intense as hell. The 1990 and 1994 yearbook glimpses of Flair as a babyface give great depth to Flair characters you are traditionally unaccustomed to but fit Flair wonderfully. He also in 1990 had many very good matches with a variety of opponents and styles. 3. Bull Nakano - Honestly, maybe the best worker I have seen the least amount of footage from. Her 1994 was really good and I can't wait to see her in 1990-1992 era as the true ace of the promotion. 4. Jerry Lawler- Lawler is captivating to me in 1990 having great interactions with Snowman, Jimmy Valiant, Ben Jordan, and Nate the Rat. While we haven't seen a traditional classic match from him in 1990 his elevation of interviews and promos has me contending him as a WOTYC for the year 6 months in. 5. Mitsuharu Misawa- For a while I would call him the GOAT. Now, after seeing him struggle in his early years, I am backing off. However, I did love his performances in the 5/1990 Jumbo six man and the 6/8/90 match with Jumbo. No one right now makes me think and ponder more than Misawa matches.

I was so let down that we didnt get the new Orleans entrance live for JYD. One of the worst matches of the year but really couldn't ask for much more from JYD at this point. This was a really stupid finish. El Gigante continues to be worthless as they position him on the ramp and he lets Arn run right by him doing nothing. The Sting/Flair confrontation was well done though and the challenge for the Bash is extended. -
I did like the overall theme that the Horseman were getting beat left and right given credence to JYD's chances. From the clips this looked good and I am anticipating watching it in full for the podcast down the road. Orndorff in WCW always felt right to me.
-
Real bad booking. A lot of luster seems to be off of Lex and there is no reason for Sid to go down like this even in surprise fashion.
-
Interesting concept for them to try but I agree with the majority that this is a lesser match although still good. In fact this is probably the Midnights worst major showing of the year which shows how good they have been so far this year.
-
One of the better Kerry promos in my opinion. Still amazing to think in two months he will be IC champ for the WWF though.
-
Glad it was mentioned that Lawler at least in this promo gives Kerry props for his physical nature. The same jokes we have heard before were being presented to a new audience.
-
Snowman has finally beat lawler and became champion.
-
I am in the Loss/Peter camp and thought this really bordered on being a great match and would be with some editing of about 3-4 minutes. The inconclusive finish was predictable and actually came off more organically then most of those do. This match did have a lot of restarts but the sequences in between with the brawling and stiff shots made up for the odd structure in my mind. I really liked this New Japan card as a whole.
-
Another good brawl from this show. This match in some ways reminded me of Fujiwara/Choshu 6/9/87 with the jumping in the aisle and overall short, intense feel of the match. Loved the double juice that both guys brought out. This might be a sneaky top 100 contender for me at years end.
-
I really liked this a lot and it was something entirely different from what I expect a Liger junior match to consist of. First two rounds were pretty good mat wrestling and then Liger SNAPS and it just becomes an intense war with Aoyagi trying to hang on.
-
Atlas against Flair at the clash would have been interesting. I have liked these promos well enough but without getting any rebuttal or in ring action its tough for me to really relate to them.
-
You can ask him anything or call just to hear his voice. 95cents a minute does feel cheaper than the going rate though.
-
I think the clips was from the 6/1 match but the promo from Dundee with him thinking about marrying Tessa was a new development.
