I was just about to ask if anyone knew someone who actually bought that jacket. At least around this time there was early Goldust to outdo HBK in the flamboyance department.

This was at a time before the Undertaker took months off after ever storyline beating.

I think the Rock had a few matches beforehand and this was his TV debut. It's a really nice introduction for a rookie with two helpful veterans to work with.

I'd heard about this plenty of times but never seen the footage. What struck me is how positive the fan reaction was, not just the 'Smart Marks' but the whole crowd.

This show was notable for having the final televised appearances in AJW for Akira Hokuto and Bull Nakano. Neither match warranted inclusion on the Yearbook, and Hokuto would debut for GAEA in September. In the WWWA Title collision we have the bridesmaid of the time Yumiko Hotta, falling just short once again. Compared with their bouts from previous years this was a disappointment. They took quite an interesting approach with Toyota standing up to the kicker and going toe to toe. It was Hotta that ended up bleeding from the forehead and the nose. Very stiff and it looked sure to end up being a good one. It would have done if they had just ended it with a finisher instead of both kicking out of the others marquee move. It was a sign of bad things to come stylistically, and I thought it so fitting that this mistake ruined the match. A perfect example of bad Karma. They must have blown about 5 moves in record time. It was terrible beyond belief and killed it ending on such a downer. Come to think of it their 6/17/90 match was like that too, falling off a cliff.

I love Bret's interviews like this because he talks about wrestling in the same terms that they do in Japan. It's still real to him, dammit!
