[1990-02-24-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Jake Roberts & Big Boss Man
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Yeah after seeing the abomination of the Heartbreak Hotel on the 1994 yearbook I have enjoyed the Brother Love segments and him getting pushed around is always a highlight. Jake was always my favorite as a kid along with Hogan and its nice to see his stuff hold up around the time I started watching unlike whiny Hogan.- 11 replies

Warrior Wildness... wtf is that? Warrior match finished seem fine. I could find more comic relief in this Warrior promo than in the others because it was coherent just a complete mess.

[1990-02-23-WWF-The Main Event] Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Getting Douglas for a cheaper price if true seems like an actual sensible economic move cashing in on relevant news. The match as a whole is a more tightly focused WM 5 main event match with Savage really working hard with great shots, bumping, and antics. I hate seeing the elbow be kicked out of but I guess by this point you just have to accept that as standard business. Savage dancing around at the end of the match even got a chuckle from my wife who is a tough audience to please in regards to wrestling.- 15 replies

Oh man i want this match in full. What we get is pretty damn good with a nice finishing run and Lawler picking up a win.

[1990-02-18-NWA-Main Event] Ric Flair & Arn Anderson vs Rock & Roll Express
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Another good WCW tv match. I was not as keen on this as some of the other stuff we have seen simply because I thought the shine segment for the RNR went on too long but the spots they did were fun and when the Horseman finally got control they did a number on Ricky. Good to see all of this great wrestling going on paid off to a good rating. -
[1990-02-17-USWA-Championship Sports] Music Video: Bill Dundee
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Really reached into the vault for this one. Kind of strange song choice also and I couldnt dig it as much as other music videos for it being a generally great video or for the lack of unintentional comedy aspect.- 13 replies

Flair showcase match #3 and it is wonderful. The commentary between JR and Cornette is very good and I loved Ross commenting on the strategy of Flair realizing that Pillman has more fight than he had imagined when Flair kept trying to pin him down. They really went back and forth with each other and it was smart to make this non title so the crowd and audience really bought into Pillman having a chance. Woman was a little out of position on her spot but the finish worked well with Flair having the tights. Luger coming out at the end and decking the Horseman was a great moment inciting the crowd.

Finished up show with Alan and Dean and greatly enjoyed and was surprised at how quickly the 2 hours 45 minutes flew by. I was especially happy to hear Bill Travis get a mention and am glad that Loss continues to ring his bell because he really has been a pleasant surprise on the 1990 yearbook so far.

Luger smirks were kind of annoying but at least he was fan happy slapping babyface all of a sudden. Ole does good promos for the group and Flair tripping and his reaction was another great moment for him in the first two months.

[1990-02-17-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Interview: Sting
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Sting wearing the sungalsses for therapy was odd. He gives a pretty good promo here where we didn't need a riled up babyface vowing for revenger when he was going to be out for 4 more months. Kudos to Sting for playing his role correctly. -
Ass being used startled me. Pillman saying he knew the difference between the lady and a tramp was a great moment heightened by Flair's face. Good set up for match later on.

[1990-02-17-NWA-Worldwide] Midnight Express vs Brian Pillman & Tom Zenk
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
My least favorite WCW match so far. I guess Michael Cole's heel persona was from watching Chris Cruise tapes becuase we get the same smarkish commentary from Cruise here. Zenk has looked adequate so far but this match was way to one sided and short to suceed in the long run. -

Jerry in three different segments on a program and all of them are great. Another typical 1990 USWA Saturday morning. The King is the greatest.- 12 replies

Lawler crusading against things in the wrestling business is 2 for 2 on the enjoyment scale. Lawler mounts a good argument about his validity.- 12 replies

Lawler really has had a wide variety of opponents in the first 45 days. Lawler ranting and then getting pinned quickly by JYD was enjoyed by me. I also love dave and Lawlers rapport around this time.

[1990-02-17-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Ted DiBiase, Slick & Akeem
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
i also love the overlapping of these two storylines and the payoff at WM 6 was good. Was shocked at how good this promo was considering me and my brother still bust out Slicksters WM 6 promo if we need a good laugh.- 11 replies

[1990-02-12-FMW-Battle Brave] Atsushi Onita vs Masanobu Kurisu (Barbed Wire)
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
Real fun seeing the roots of death matches being fought out. There was a lot of laying around in this match but I sort of welcomed that especially compared to the superhuman no selling that has become par the course in death matches. The first powerbomb looked like it broke Kurisu's neck. Fun match.- 17 replies

[1990-02-17-WWF-Superstars] Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior promos
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
The closeup on Warriors promo was real disturbing and fuck if I know what he was talking about. Hogan got a little too meta also but at least stay focused enough that I could understand some semblance of what he meant.- 16 replies

[1990-02-11-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels
soup23 replied to Loss's topic in February 1990
First time matchup and sometimes wrestling history is funny because this is only 7.5 years until Survivor series but that feels like a lifetime from now watching this match. In contrast, it definitely doesn't feel like that much has changed since Cena first won the belt 7.5 years ago now. Basic matchup that eventually breaks down into a brawl. More here for historical purposes than as a standalone great match. -
Jarrett stumbles through an ok promo. Dundee shows him hows it done once again talking about how he can overcome his height disadvantage. We then go to KVE and sadly this is one of his best promos on the set so far. Terrance is really getting run through the coals in this feud.
