[1990-WWA] El Hijo del Santo & Yoshinari Asai & Gran Hamada vs Negro Casas & Blue Panther & Fuerza Guerrera
Quite the talent line up here with 6 good to great workers. And they did just work as well with no screwiness, which is what I like to see. The Santo vs Casas exchanges were poetry in motion. The pre mask Ultimo took a few minutes to get up to speed before improving later on. Hamada looked good as well in this high quality encounter.

[1990-CWA] "We Are Dynamite!"
I'd never seen this before picking up the yearbook, and about 15 times since. Awesome late 80's music and really catchy song. The video was fantastic as well. It was worth getting the comp before the wrestling had even begun. I still can't figure out what the 2nd line of the chorus is, or parts of the 2nd verse. Anyone got the lyrics?

[1990-11-06-EMLL] THRILLER
A Halloween themed music video set to Michael Jackson's Thriller featuring El Satanico, Ponzona, and 3 versions of green monster Espectro. Needless to say it was totally insane. My personal highlights were the invisible tits grab early on and then later Satanico molesting a tied up Ponzona (whoever he was).

[1990-02-10-USWA-Championship Sports] Kerry Von Erich and Gorky Park
Please no reminders about Rocky V. Seriously when I got the Rocky box set I took out that one disc and threw it in the trash so I'd never feel tempted to rewatch it! I must confess that I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the turn of the 90's Russian Rock scene. But so were 99.9% of the people who have ever watched this. Gorky Park are legends I'm sure.

[1990-04-28-ICW-TV] ICW Teen Report: Super Duper Mario
Did Mario's brother ever become a wrestler? I remember that I used to want there to be a wrestling fed based on the characters from Mortal Kombat rather than Super Mario Bros. Great to see Dawna's first ever TV appearance after graduating high school. She was presumably related to someone in ICW?

1990 Drinking Game
Take a shot for every racist comment from the WCW announcers. Down the bottle whenever Tony Atlas gets a new gimmick.

[1993-10-05-ECW-TV] Sabu vs Tazmaniac
I loved Sabu being chained like a madman and then let loose when the match started. That was a fun way to put over the gimmick. He was all about doing crazy shit so this fitted right in. I fast forwarded through the rest of the match though because he's such a fundementally bad worker.

My 50 favorite matches
I was wondering if I was the only one who was so crazy about this match. The whole thng is Bobby Heenan gold, with the final fall and postmatch being ridiculously awesome. I remember wearing out the old VHS tape.

[1993-07-10-WCW-Saturday Night] Lost in Cleveland
I loved the subtlely inserted morality tale about the down and out alcoholic getting off the booze, cleaning up his act and becoming an upstanding member of society in the previous week.

[1993-06-19-WCW-Saturday Night] Exploding Boat
Even though I'd seen it before I was still half expecting to see the Hoff or Pamela Anderson appear on the beach. I think this was the last time they used Cheatum. I wonder what became of him? Actually I don't want to know. The crazy thing is how much money they must have blown making these segments, because they were shot like movies. No promotion knew how to waste money better than WCW.

[1993-11-02-ECW-TV] Madusa and Sensational Sherri
OMG I'm so shocked! This was the most controversial moment in the history of television to date!! Outside of trash TV has anyone every heard 2 women speaking like this to each other? I know wrestling is a crazy self contained world but this was so retarded.

Superbly done squash as Vader debuts in UWFI. He looked like an unstoppable monster and it would take the promotions top stars to have a prayer against him.

[1993-05-11-ECW-TV] Terry Funk vignette
Had this been in WCW they'd have had a close up of Eddie's "Brother" laying on the ground with a look of terror as the tractor approaches, before cutting away and doing a squelching sound effect as Funk does an evil laugh. The budget didn't quite extend that far here so they did it Ed Wood style, which is even better.

[1993-04-26-WWF-Raw] Smoking Gunns vignette
Billy Gunn introducing himself is the most homosexual moment on this set that doesn't feature Shawn Michaels.
