[1990-10-30-WWF-Fort Wayne, IN] The Rockers vs Hart Foundation (2/3 falls)
No announcing as match never aired of course. Hart Foundation slightly heelish in match with complaining to referee. Bret was in control but Jannetty blocks a sunset flip. Good first fall. Things going fine until Anvil hits the corner and the top rope breaks off. Bret goes to the headlock as there is lots of discussion going on with the referee what to do. Still think there is some good action after but the Hart Attacks does look weak with Bret not able to get any momentum coming off the ropes. They fix the rope for the third fall. The criss cross spot didn’t go as planned. Bret seems deflated and not even trying now. The finish doesn’t look right. Too bad The Rockers didn’t get a run with the tag belts. Also, not sure why they didn’t try to do the match again. Good match still and Bret has been too harsh about it. Though part of the problem with it was his performance in the third fall.

[1990-10-27-NWA-Halloween Havoc] Sting vs Sid Vicious
The running lariat from Sting down the ramp into the ring was awesome. Sid leaves the ring in a title match but does come back. Flair and Arn ringside. Sid wins by just falling on top of Sting when he was doing a bodyslam. Something is up. It was a bogus Sting! Referee can now tell the difference and the match resumes. Sting with the small package to win. Interesting booking to that finish.

[1990-10-27-NWA-Halloween Havoc] Ric Flair & Arn Anderson vs Doom
Teddy Long slaps Flair in the face. Flair shocked at that one. I expect Teddy will get his in return. Flair almost took out the camera doing the corner flip. Horsemen pick on Simmons. Crowd doesn’t know who to cheer for which hurts the heat for the match. They do pop for Arn’s DDT. Count out finish. It’s a good match but I think Doom should have worked more as the heels.

[1990-10-27-NWA-Halloween Havoc] Rick & Scott Steiner vs Nasty Boys
Sags means business right away trying for a top rope suplex. Scotty reverses and gets a big belly to belly. The Steiners don’t like to pin their opponents. Almost cost them with Nasties using a chair. Big clothesline by Rick on Knobbs. Nice looking spike piledriver by the Nasties. Sags takes a big whack to the head with a chair. I thought Scott broke Knobbs neck with the Frankensteiner. This was really enjoyable match. Nasty Boys are the ideal opponents for the Steiners.

[1990-10-27-NWA-Halloween Havoc] Midnight Express vs Ricky Morton & Tommy Rich
New look for Ricky Morton. Dressing up for Halloween. Rich filling in for Gibson who is injured. Midnights have their fans in attendance. Eaton goes to the top rope but seems to not know for sure what move to do Morton on the outside. Camera angle showed move missing completely but Morton sells like he got hit. Nice, rocket launcher on to Morton who was on the ramp. Eaton does a Diamond Cutter type move. Eaton hits the Alabama Jam but instead of pinning wants the ref to do the TKO count. That is cocky. Morton finally makes the tag to Rich. Not much of a crowd response though. Southern Boys show up dressed as Cornette. Rich ends up using Cornette’s racket to pin Lane. Midnights haven’t had the best winning record of late.

[1990-10-27-NWA-Halloween Havoc] Sting and the Black Scorpion
Sting doesn’t want Sid to make the mistake of letting his butt overload his you know what. I don’t. Sting is excited. He’s all over the place actually. Black Scorpion shows up. He grabs some young female fan and decides to do a magic trick. That was awful. Ross, “I can’t believe what we have just seen.”

[1990-10-27-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Bill Dundee / Jamie Dundee promo
Dundee all in black. Clips from past monday nights match. Jamie Dundee gets the pinfall for the win. Bill gets handcuffed to the ropes. He’s forced to watch Jamie get beat up. They blur out the bleeding of Jamie. Bill is worked up! Really good promo by Dundee. I don’t know much about the International Group he is feuding but this made me want to see Bill beat them up.

Match has already ended but Gilbert and Jarrett still brawling. Other wrestlers struggle to keep them a part. Gilbert says he doesn’t want to talk about Lawler but then compares himself to Jerry.

Gilbert moves back to talking about Lawler’s World title. Eddie gets into it with Dave Brown. Dave totally calls out Eddie.

[1990-10-27-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Jerry Lawler
Lawler now has his own 900 hotline. Bit cheaper than some of the other hotlines going around. He teases that he makes comments about other wrestlers on his hotline.

Model wants to apologize again to Roberts. He then blames Jake but still feels sorry. Model has a walking cane for Roberts. Jake needs help finding his way to stage. Nice sweater Jake. Love pokes fun at Jake by moving around all the time. Model comes out to make fun of Jake too. In the scrum, Roberts ends up DDT’ing Brother Love. We get to see Jake’s freaky eye. Great segment.

[1990-10-26-EMLL] Atlantis vs Kung Fu
Don’t know who Kung Fu so him losing the mask didn’t mean much to me. Atlantis jumping on the ref after winning shows how much is means to him to keep mask though.
