soup23 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Some quick thoughts on rankings that intrigued me based on where I have stuff ranked through the end of August. #100 - Ric Flair vs Lex Luger (NWA Capital Combat 05/19/90, Cage Match) Great rating for this match and one that may be lifted by me. I would only categorize this match as good but I will feel bad if I end up leaving it off my top 100 because I think they had to overcome a lot to make the match watchable. #96 - Steve Austin vs Chris Adams (USWA Dallas Sportatorium 08/03/90, Come As You Are Match) I will be having this way higher as it is my USWA MOTY up to this point and I liked how they used the gimmick effectively even though it looks so hokey with them coming out for the intros. #87 - Manami Toyota vs Akira Hokuto (AJW 08/19/90) Will be surprised if this ranks for me. As much as Lex and Flair overshot the potential of their matchup this match had a wonderful story that was squandered by spotty selling and the wrestlers insisting on getting their shit in. This match infuriated me. #33 - Mitsuharu Misawa vs Jumbo Tsuruta (AJPW 06/08/90) #32 - Rick & Scott Steiner vs Nasty Boys (NWA Halloween Havoc 10/27/90) The ranking on these two matches back to back made me smile. #17 - Riki Choshu, Kantaro Hoshino, Kuniaki Kobayashi, Kensuke Sasaki & Shiro Koshinaka vs Animal Hamaguchi, Super Strong Machine, Tarzan Goto, Hiro Saito & Masanobu Kurisu (NJPW 06/26/90) Kind of surprised to see this drop to #17 even though it is surrounded by great stuff. This match is clinging to my #3 spot currently and if it drops out of the top 10, I am in store for some amazing stuff in the last 4 months. #2 - Lightning Kid vs Jerry Lynn (PWA 10/90) Amazing showing for these guys and Lightning Kid in generally. I can't wait to get to his matches later on in the year. #1 - El Dandy vs Angel Azteca (EMLL 06/01/90) Was there ever any doubt? It is going to take a lot for something to knock this out of the top spot for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only categorize this match as good but I will feel bad if I end up leaving it off my top 100 because I think they had to overcome a lot to make the match watchable. Agreed to a point where I would have believed the Luger injury was a storyline had I not learned that it wasn't. Luger was gutsy, but I really think Flair put on an outstanding performance. And Luger had a staph infection and is climbing the cage over and over while Flair is working over his knee, which I thought was impressive. #96 - Steve Austin vs Chris Adams (USWA Dallas Sportatorium 08/03/90, Come As You Are Match) I will be having this way higher as it is my USWA MOTY up to this point and I liked how they used the gimmick effectively even though it looks so hokey with them coming out for the intros. It's definitely a hokey match that shouldn't work. I thought Austin's bumping really carried it, and it was the best match of their feud. #87 - Manami Toyota vs Akira Hokuto (AJW 08/19/90) Will be surprised if this ranks for me. As much as Lex and Flair overshot the potential of their matchup this match had a wonderful story that was squandered by spotty selling and the wrestlers insisting on getting their shit in. This match infuriated me. I can definitely see that point of view. It didn't infuriate me. I think I saw it as a better version of Kawada/Kobashi -- there's a great match somewhere in there fighting to get out. #33 - Mitsuharu Misawa vs Jumbo Tsuruta (AJPW 06/08/90) #32 - Rick & Scott Steiner vs Nasty Boys (NWA Halloween Havoc 10/27/90) The ranking on these two matches back to back made me smile. #17 - Riki Choshu, Kantaro Hoshino, Kuniaki Kobayashi, Kensuke Sasaki & Shiro Koshinaka vs Animal Hamaguchi, Super Strong Machine, Tarzan Goto, Hiro Saito & Masanobu Kurisu (NJPW 06/26/90) Kind of surprised to see this drop to #17 even though it is surrounded by great stuff. This match is clinging to my #3 spot currently and if it drops out of the top 10, I am in store for some amazing stuff in the last 4 months. The last four months of the year are definitely a turning point for the yearbook. The match quality picks way up. I look at that as a case of the promotions that actually picked the right people and were patient starting to reap the rewards. #2 - Lightning Kid vs Jerry Lynn (PWA 10/90) Amazing showing for these guys and Lightning Kid in generally. I can't wait to get to his matches later on in the year. I'm really excited for other people to get to this match. Can't wait to see other reactions to it. #1 - El Dandy vs Angel Azteca (EMLL 06/01/90) Was there ever any doubt? It is going to take a lot for something to knock this out of the top spot for me. We'll see how everything looks on rewatch when the decade is done, but it has a chance of being my MOTD. I loved it that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenjo Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Matches in blue are either not on the set or in one case incomplete. I think the Yearbook did a great job of covering most things worthwhile, but there's always more. This is the 2nd Yearbook I've finished after 1992. That was one of the great wrestling years so the quality of the 1990 list could never compare to that. Matches from just outside my top 100 in 1992 could make my 1990 top 60 as a comparison. Nevertheless 1990 was still a fine year with plenty to see from NJ, AJ and EMLL in particular. Seeing all the high end Lucha for the 1st time was the highlight of the set for me. And finally a Dishonourable Mention to a strong WOAT contender: Zeus vs Abdullah the Butcher (WWC 7/7/90) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I've been watching some supplemental Lucha from 1990 and have added 4 EMLL matches to the list. I know I'm not the only one who thought it was the strongest promotion in the world for this year. All are available on Youtube. In case you don't know, the awesome http://www.thecubsfan.com/cmll/events/index.php has full results and links to the matches that are available online. Octagon vs Fuerza Guerrera vs Huracan Ramirez (Mask vs Mask vs Mask) (EMLL 12/14/90) Fuerza Guerrera vs Pantera II (EMLL 5/4/90) Solar I & II vs El Hijo Del Gladiador & El Supremo (EMLL 5/25/90) Solar I & II vs Hombre Bala & El Supremo (EMLL 5/4/90) Edit: Added some more matches and expanded the list back to a top 75. Atlantis, Angel Azteca & Javier Cruz vs Satanico, El Dandy & Emilio Charles Jr (EMLL 4/13/90) Angel Azteca vs Emilio Charles Jr (EMLL 1/12/90) Jumbo Tsuruta & Akira Taue vs Stan Hansen & Dan Spivey (AJ 11/21/90) Angel Azteca, Javier Cruz & Americo Rocca vs El Dandy, El Texano & Chavo Guerrero (EMLL 3/16/90) Edit: Added more matches and we now have a top 80.
