[1990-01-30-NJPW] Jushin Liger vs Owen Hart
First look at NJPW on this set. Owen Hart was very athletic here and looked impressive, but overall this match seemed to be lacking a cohesive story. Nice to see that the sharpshooter was truly Owen's move.

[1990-01-27-WWF-Saturday Night's Main Event] Hulk Hogan & Ultimate Warrior vs Mr Perfect & The Genius
This was a fun match even though the teams were uneven and I don't think anyone thought that Perfect and Genius stood any chance here. The highlight of this match was Perfect bumping like a madman and just bouncing all over the place. Hogan came off as a dick here by tagging himself in to steal the pin. This match did a great job of building to the match at Mania.

[1990-01-27-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Interview: Four Horsemen
Sting claims to be enjoying the Horsemen party life and gets cut off by Flair before he gets a chance to talk about their upcoming match. Woman cuts a good promo reminding Flair of her offer. Good segment here and I'm interested in checking out the Anderson vs Gilbert match that's not on the set.

[1990-01-27-USWA-Memphis TV] Angry Jerry Lawler
Lawler is pissed that people don't believe he talks to celebrities so he has pictures to prove it. Fun promo with Lawler making a bit of an ass out of himself and getting under the crowd's skin. The photos looked legit.

[1990-01-27-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Robert Fuller & Brian Lee
This was a lot of fun. Fuller puts Billy Joe Travis in the same category as Elvis and does a pretty decent job singing here. A star search is proposed so that Fuller can mend his broken heart but none of the fat hogs in the crowd should bother applying. USWA continues to be the most entertaining promotion so far in 1990.

Quick and to the point promo here in a setting that doesn't make much sense. Neither DiBiase nor Virgil are dressed to lift weights.

[1990-01-26-NWA-Power Hour] Ric Flair & Arn Anderson & Sting vs Great Muta & Buzz Sawyer & Dragon Master
Awesome crowd here that really makes the match. This was a wild match that did a very good job in building up the cage match next month. Sting worked really good with the Horsemen here who were very over as babyfaces. It's a shame that Flair turns heel soon since he worked as a great face here and was super over in that role.

[1990-01-21-WWF-Royal Rumble] Royal Rumble
As a whole this is a pretty good Rumble. Some strong stories in this one with Roberts/Dibiase and Savage/Dusty continuing their feuds and build to the Piper/Bad News match for Mania. Some other notable matchups in this are Colossal Connection going at it with Demolition and the former Strikeforce team colliding. The middle of this match started to lag put it picked up with the Hogan/Warrior confrontation. Warrior sprinting to the back after being eliminated was goofy. Unnecessary win by Hogan here, but still an enjoyable Rumble.

[1990-01-20-USWA Texas] Jerry Lawler vs Junkyard Dog
The commentary here was absolutely horrible. The heel commentator was just atrocious. Not a very good match either, Lawler was really heeling it up and using the dirty tactics here.

[1990-01-20-USWA-Memphis TV] Music Video: Jeff Jarrett
Entertaining to watch, I always enjoy the cheesy Memphis music videos. Jarrett is a new sensation just like INXS at this point in his career.

[1990-01-20-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Jerry Lawler / Interview: Junkyard Dog
Nothing too special with the promos here. Some racism from Lawler, but overall I feel like this didn't do as good of a job building interest in the match as the other promos we've seen from USWA on this set.

The promo is pretty pedestrian but its interesting to see the outdated technology present here.
