[1990-12-16-NWA Starrcade '90] Barry Windham & Arn Anderson vs Doom (Street Fight)
I always like when Simmons whips someone with a belt. Windham busted open but he still hits a suplex on Reed. Windham has been missed. All four guys in at once street fight. Pinfalls only. Big pop for the superplex. Hectic type match. Double pin finish which kind of sucked but it was lots of fun otherwise. Time was perfectly fine.

[1990-12-16-NWA Starrcade '90] Lex Luger vs Stan Hansen (Bullrope)
Hansen still has his chew in this mouth. That’s a real crappy rope they are using. No bell either. Ross is bringing the football references. Not a fan of these four corner matches but bothe Hanse and Luger do a pretty good job. They reverse the finish where Lex originally did get the four corners and a new referee came down. Lack of blood hurt it for me though.

[1990-12-15-WWF-Superstars] Mr Perfect vs Kerry Von Erich
DiBiase is the special ring announcer. Finkel sells out! So there was a DiBiase/Von Erich feud? DiBiase remains ringside. He ends up hitting Von Erich. I didn’t know these guys had issues. Referee down. Discus punch. DiBiase helps Perfect to his feet. Perfect Plex wins in. That’s it for Kerry. Not much of a match. Interesting that Ted is still feuding with the Rhodes, things are stirring with Virgil and now he's costing Von Erich the IC Title.

[1990-12-15-WWF-Superstars] The Mountie vignette
He’s not a officer or a tour guide. He’s the Mountie. Nice using the horse as a prop.

[1990-12-15-WWF-Superstars] Cain the Undertaker vs Mario Mancini
It’s got to be Cain! Undertaker hasn’t got into his tattoo faze yet. Does the rope walk and a Tombstone finishes it.

[1990-12-14-EMLL] El Dandy vs El Satanico (Hair vs Hair)
Satanico attacks before the match and they still go through the ring introductions. Satanico dominates early but Dandy ends up pulling out the first fall. They could have easily just had Satanico win that fall so nice that they went in the other direction. Satanico hits a dirty looking low knee. Random clips of Octagon and Guerrera warming up backstage. Not needed. Some great reversals in third fall. I normally hate referee making decisions when they didn’t see it but it totally worked here playing off an legit low blow that caused Dandy to lose the second fall. I wasn’t as big on the first two falls but the third was great stuff. They replay of a different angle makes it more awesome of the finish.

[1990-12-09-AJW] Aja Kong & Bison Kimura vs Akira Hokuto & Suzuka Minami
The ring steps make it into the ring briefly. And here they are again but Aja throws them a side. I feel like I have been down on Joshi for must of 1990. This was another match that was just there to me.

[1990-12-09-AJW] Bull Nakano vs Kyoko Inoue
Match listing not making sense. We get the real match after a quick tag. Yeah, this felt just like a squash for the most part.

[1990-12-08-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Rip Rogers vs Brian Pillman
Rogers interacts with the crowd a lot. When he cheats such as holding the ropes and the crowd yells about it, he yells back at then. Nice bit of interaction. Rogers isn’t much of a threat but he makes for a good TV guy to put someone over. Pillman’s drop kick to Rogers on the turnbuckle was impressive.

[1990-12-08-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler vs Eddie Gilbert
Getting TV time for a match though Gilbert uses most of it for stalling early. Eddie uses the chain but Lawler gets his hands on it eventually. Steve Keirn saves Lawler at the end with a chair with “The Fabs” painted on it. Crowd popped for him hitting the ring. New face to join Lawler's side of the feud.

[1990-12-08-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Ted DiBiase, Virgil & Dustin Rhodes
Brother Love’s real guest is Ted DiBiase. Million Dollar Man wants to make an offer to Dustin. There’s nobody lesser than a Texan except maybe Virgil. Ohh. Disgruntled look from Virgil. Texas Tornado comes to Dustin’s aid. I couldn’t figure this one out but Kerry reminds us he’s Texan too. Yes, I was just caught off that Von Erich and DiBiase had interaction in WWF.

[1990-12-07-NWA-Power Hour] Sting and Black Scorpion
Little audio to this. Someone in a mask tries to attack Sting. Black Scorpion is talking over this but I can’t hear it too well. The magic tricks gave me a chuckle but most of this angle has been real poor.

[1990-12-07-AJPW-Real World Tag League] Mitsuharu Misawa & Toshiaki Kawada vs Jumbo Tsuruta & Akira Taue
Seen this but didn’t remember liking it as much. They really drew me towards the end. Misawa has really come on strong during the year. I felt some of his performances under the Mask earlier were kind of listless. Now he’s full of fire. Kawada has improved also and Jumbo is the perfect foil to try block each of their rises. Crowd was really into it.
