[1990-08-18-WWF-Superstars] Update: Mr Perfect accepts Kerry Von Erich's challenge for Summerslam
Kerry Von Erich challenges Mr. Perfect for the IC Title. It was brief but Kerry made sense. Texas Tornado name did seem pointless. Jesse is pissed that he could get a title shot so quickly.

[1990-08-18-AJPW-Summer Action Series II] Mitsuharu Misawa & Toshiaki Kawada & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi vs Jumbo Tsuruta & Akira Taue & Masa Fuchi
Taue with the big clothesline on Kikuchi. Fuchi tagged out early after the start. He’s taking a break on the apron. Kawada loses the slap battle to Jumbo. Kikuchi ends in Jumbo’s team corner. Fuchi smartly positioned him for the single leg lock and was able to get a good view if Misawa/Kawada tried to break it up. Jumbo levels Kikuchi with clothesline. Misawa unleashing the forearms to everyone. Lots of quick tags towards the end. Finish was great between Taue and Kikuchi. Lots of close falls. Taue hasn’t got the proper finisher yet though. Excellent match.

[1990-08-17-USWA Texas] Steve Austin & Percy Pringle vs Chris Adams & Chris Von Erich
Von Erich and Pringle are treated like equals in the ring. Adams tags in Von Erich just to pin Austin. He tags back out once Austin kicks out. Adams does the offense moves, tags out, Von Erich can’t pin Austin, tags back out immediately. Chris is prety useless. Von Erich actually gets the pin over Pringle but can’t even celebrate he he gets attacked.

[1990-08-11-AWA] Team Challenge Series Recap / Survivor Battle Royal
Arena is really dark so hard to tell how many fans were there. This challenge standings seems ridiculous. Larry Z talks about Sting and Warrior ducking him. I think every outside group is taking shots at Sting and Warrior. The crowd is very quiet . Lee Marshall messed up the introductions. Battle royal with 30 second entrance times. Guys are getting eliminated very quickly. They miss the Bloom/Enos elimination which was probably the biggest spot in this match. DeBeers under a mask. That was probably the worst battle royal I’ve seen. Larry’s team wins the million dollar championship. Just depressing to watch.

[1990-08-11-USWA-Championship Sports] Jerry Lawler promo / Devastation Inc. and Jeff Jarrett
Akbar got the USWA to suspend Lawler. Jerry will take care of Akbar once the suspension is lifted. Lawler wearing a PWI tshirt. Hair versus Hair match for Jarrett and Gary Young. What happened to Iceman? Jarrett proposes that he will put his hair up but if he wins Young doesn’t have to put his hair up but instead have Lawler’s suspension be overturned. They completely book themselves out the backdoor of the hair match.

[1990-08-11-USWA-Memphis TV] Dirty White Boy & Dirty White Girl and Bill Dundee & Tessa / Interview: Eddie Gilbert
Dirty White Boy does his promo with his back to the camera a lot. They keep having to switch cameras. Dirty White Girl makes it through her promo. Tessa talks about being bigger than DWG. The girls need to keep being separated. Courage to give these ladies so much talking time on live TV. Dirty White Boy wants Lawler and Dundee to accept when they lose. Cage match coming up. Have to wonder why USWA-TX didn’t allow Anthony to talk much.

Cowabunga seems a bit winded doing his promo. May want to cut back on the pizza.

[1990-08-11-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Ultimate Warrior
Warrior knocks over Brother Love’s podium and breaks his glasses. Unacceptable. Warrior wants Love to see all his Warriors. He’s talking about visions. Random shots of fans wearing Warrior masks. Those look cheap.

[1990-08-04-USWA-Championship Sports] Steve Austin, Jeannie Clark & Percy Pringle and Chris & Toni Adams
Jeannie has some hot pictures. Pictures of Chris Adams with different women. He’s having an affair! There is a yellow sticky covering part of Chris on one of the pictures. Toni has had enough and slugs Jeannie. Pringle grabs her by the hair though and Jeannie fights back. We have a detailed investigation with pictures of Chris Adams meeting up with some woman. Damning evidence. Toni is wearing one of Michael Jackon’s jackets. Poor Toni! She’s crying looking at the photos and demanding Chris show up. Chris says this was a complete set up. Toni smacks Chris and storms off. Clips of Jeannie versus Toni. Adams ends up stripping off Jeannie’s top. Again, Pringle holds Toni so Jeannie can lay in the punches. Chris Von Erich comes to Toni’s aid and attacks Pringle. Austin easily beats up Chris. Pringle tears up a picture of Chris and Toni. Austin and company want to talk about the upcoming divorce of Chris and Toni. Jeannie talks about being the star of the show. Six man tag now with Pringle and Chris Von Erich added to the mix. Chris’ publicity photo looks bad. And Von Erich gets beat up again. This just isn’t fun to watch. Chris Adams thinks Jeannie is goofy.

[1990-08-04-USWA-Memphis TV] Eddie Gilbert vs Bill Dundee
They are wrestling for number two contender for World title. We actually get a couple minutes so I’m getting into the match but we get the usual DQ finish. Tatum in Gorilla costume attacks Lawler and Dundee. Gilbert is swinging away with baseball bat. Eddie Marlin makes an appearance. He’s been absent for a few months. Tatum seems to be recovered from his neck injury.

[1990-08-04-WWF-Superstars] Sgt. Slaughter vignette / Nikolai Volkoff Boy Scouts ceremony
Slaughter is packing heat. He is declaring war on Volkoff and those maggot fan supporters. Volkoff with Boy Scouts of America. Nikolai gets a medal of honor for World Peace. Next stop Nobel Peace Prize. Pledge of Allegiance. Jesse says if you can’t speak the language get out. Leader of immigration reform.

[1990-08-04-FMW-Summer Spectacular in Shiodome] Atsushi Onita vs Tarzan Goto (No Rope Barbed Wire Electric Current Explosion Death)
First two explosions go off early. Referee is wearing swimming goggles. Onita’s back is getting messed up in the barbed wire. Onita just powerbombs and DDT’s Goto to death. That will put Goto down. Onita is emotional after. Alright in my book.
