[1990-12-17-PWA] Lightning Kid vs Jerry Lynn
Another bloody brawl with some high spots mixed in. At one point it looks like Waltman takes a back bump from the top rope. That was a sick bump. This wasn't as good as the 1st one, but a heck of a hate filled fight.

[1990-06-30-CWA] Bull Power vs Otto Wanz
Man this was just great. Vader just beats the hell out of Wanz. In the later rounds Wanz makes a comeback. Vader injures his knee and Vader sells it big time like he blew his quad out. Man this was so great in it's simplicity in telling the story, but chalked full of drama. I also loved that the announcer was yelling at Vader for breaking the rules.

[1990-06-30-CWA] Dave Finlay vs Steve Wright
I thought Wright's carny mat work was really cool, especially in contrast to Finley's rough house tactics. This was a good match, though some of the rules confuse me.

[1990-06-30-WWF-Superstars] Update: Get those letters in to the Hulkster kids!
They really are milking Hulk's return. Sure it's hokey, but this is a nice piece of business.

[1990-06-30-NAWA] Ricky Steamboat vs Matt Borne / Ricky Steamboat vs Robert Fuller
Steamer is tremendous in selling the leg. Heck he even looks pained in the interview. Fuller is such a stud on the stick. No pun intended.

Holy mother of God was this amazing. Everyone had a moment to shine. I loved the 5 on 1 spots. The pacing here is off the charts. The crowd is going nuts here. I loved all 3 finishes. Just a great chaotic wrestling match.

[1990-06-23-WWA] Terry Funk vs Stan Hansen
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that the thing that is most remembered about this match featuring 2 of the best is Funk's plunge into the water.

[1990-06-23-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler, The Snowman and Leon Spinks
Spinks on the mike was so bad. Back in the day Spinks was huge. He even had a doll of himself. Sometimes Lawler is too good on the stick.

Where The Big Boys Play #28
In regards to Meltzer always comparing the ratings to Braves games their are 2 reasons for this. First off Braves games were by far the most pushed thing on the station (calling the Braves America's Team). It's kinda similar to when ECW and Roller Jam were on TNN at the same time. Roller Jam was pushed more, but ECW got better ratings. Also during baseball season wrestling would get bumped around for the game. So in essence they are bumping the higher rated show to show baseball. Secondly, it's 1988 and their is nothing really to compare wrestling ratings to. I mean for the most part TBS was showing Andy Griffith, Brady Bunch, and Leave it to Beaver or 1st run shows like the New Leave it to Beaver.

This is pretty creepy. You almost think Warrior kidnapped this kid and brainwashed her in his basement. The way he looked at her was creepy.
