[1990-03-30-USWA Texas] Jeff Jarrett & Bill Dundee vs Robert Fuller & Brian Lee
Thought Fuller and Lee were feuding. Guess that is only in Memphis. Fuller and Lee don’t seem to be on the same page. Fuller uses some hair pulling to get the advantage. Heels now starting to work together with some tags. Fuller ends up nailing Lee in error and they lose. Fuller attacks Lee after the match. Well, they were feuding already.

[1990-03-30-USWA Texas] Jimmy Valiant vs Billy Joe Travis
Travis tries to sing the lyrics to Valiant’s entrance music which is great. Valiant makes out with a lucky fan ringside and Marc Lowrance too. Travis with some sweet uppercut punches. He has to adjust his own tights after delivering a backbreaker. A lot of fun.

[1990-03-25-WWF-Primetime Wrestling] Contract Signing: Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior
Jack Tunney in the contract signing for Hulk versus Warrior. “Look into my eyes Hulk Hogan. You see nothingness”. Warrior rants and Hogan’s response is “sign” pointing to the contract.

[1990-03-24-NWA-Worldwide] Interview: Ole Anderson & Minnesota Wrecking Crew II
Couldn't figure out who the masked guys were. Ole doesn’t like any of this nice guy amateur stuff the Steiners do. The Andersons will do whatever it takes to win.

[1990-03-24-WWF-Superstars] Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior promos
We switch things up with Warrior going on first. I really wonder how Warrior’s bizarre promos would get over with the younger audiences. Hogan is tired of hearing about Warrior injecting the Hulkamaniacs. He wants them to take the vitamins instead. I have been entertained by their promos but they are quite a bit out there as far as building your WrestleMania main event match.

[1990-03-23-EMLL] Jerry Estrada vs El Satanico
Thought there was some type of editing to JIP. First fall happens so fast. I actually missed it and had to rewind. Santico takes a good whack to the head on an Estrada dive and gets counted out. Believable finish for the second fall. Feeling that there is not enough venom for a hair match but things do get more aggressive in the third fall. There seems to be some type of commotion going on in the crowd. Wait, what that some legit fan that tried to stop Estrada from climbing to the top? Funny if it is. Everyone seemed to make it seem like no big deal though. I'll give this another watch at some point as I wasn't see this as great as you guys. I think I was expecting more blood type violence.

[1990-03-23-EMLL] El Dandy vs Angel Azteca
Arm drags galore which Dandy wins. The ring apron appears to be ice hockey boards. Dandy wins the first fall convincingly. Dandy drags Azteca around the ring by his mask. Dandy with a nice german suplex. Thank goodness the fans are smart enough to get out of the way early on these dive attempts as Dandy goes flying into the second row. It picked up in the third fall but the finish is confusing as referee raises both men’s arms. Good that there will be a future match with hopefully a clear cut winner.

[1990-03-23-USWA Texas] Steve Austin vs Chris Adams (No Referee in the Ring)
No referee except for the one on the outside. Adams can’t get the piledriver on the floor but delivers one in the ring. Austin ties up Adams in the ropes and gets a chair but ends up getting used on him. Adams does a DDT where it looked like he was going to do a suplex and the ref counts the three.

[1990-03-23-NWA-Power Hour] Eddie Gilbert vs Cactus Jack
Gilbert hugging a little Stinger at ringside. Cactus does his version of the Slaughter corner bump. Cactus wrestling! And doing a pretty good job at it. Good in ring action between the two. Ross telegraphs the finish early by mentioning how much time left in the match. Cactus does a reckless dive over the railing that almost hit a couple of young fans. Time limit draw in the end. Good match though.

[1990-03-19-WWF-MSG, NY] Ultimate Warrior vs Mr Perfect
They talk about Hennig’s perfect record. Didn’t he lose to Hogan already? Maybe hasn’t been shown on TV yet. Perfect stupidly does a criss cross with Warrior at the beginning and pays for it. They really got rid of all the various people who would be ringside at MSG shows. I don’t even see the commentators out there. Warrior with the sunset flip! Perfect did a weird sell of it. Must have been ribbing. Warrior’s arm came pretty close to dropping a third time on chinlock. Warrior Up and there goes Mr. Perfect’s winning streak again.

[1990-03-19-WWF-MSG, NY] Bret Hart vs Rick Martel
Didn’t realize this referee was still around in WWF in 90. I guess this was one of Bret’s singles runs. Decent start but match was nothing special. Time Limit expired? I think they meant count out. Was expecting a bit more here.

[1990-03-18-AWA] The Destruction Crew (Mike Enos & Wayne Bloom) & Tully Blanchard vs The Trooper & D.J. Peterson & Paul Diamond (Elimination)
AWA! Feel like a lot of groups these days wish they could get a crowd that big. Elimination match and two guys are out pretty quickly due to a double count out. Lame. Tully seems out of place here as much better. I thought Enis botched his elimination but with the irish reversal made sense on second viewing.

[1990-03-17-WWF-Superstars] Jesse Ventura picks a winner
Ventura dressed up in Hogan gear. He must have had to restrain himself from making too much fun of Hogan.
