[1990-08-19-NJPW] Big Van Vader vs Riki Choshu
I Loved this one. I was very glad though that Vader's eye didnt swell all up to a sickening degree again.

[1990-08-17-USWA Texas] Steve Austin & Percy Pringle vs Chris Adams & Chris Von Erich
Yes, you can certainly see the metaphorical comparisons of Chris and the entire Dallas territory but Im going to be positive (kinda) here. Chris might be a pioneer. You can now, on any weekend, go to random indy show within driving distance of your home and see tiny, unathletic, no-need-to-be-in-the-ring, "workers". Blaze the path, Chris.

[1990-07-21-USWA-Memphis TV] Cowabunga vignette
You fly far enough under the radar and you dont get caught. I couldnt even defend this stuff back in the day. Just glad it ended fairly quickly. Those sexual misconduct charges tend to stop things like this cold.

That shot of Slaughter pointing an automatic weapon right at the camera will never see the light of day again. They shouldnt have done it in the first place.

I wonder what the GI Joe people thought of this run. Anyone know? In return for this information, I'll spare you my Fox News jokes.

[1990-07-07-NWA-Great American Bash] Midnight Express vs Southern Boys
I'd never seen this one. Actually, I think the only match from GAB 90 I'd ever seen outside of highlights on the WCW tv was Lex-Callous. They showed the last few minutes late one night between movies on "Main Events You Should Have Seen" (it was probably after "Smokey and the Bandit". It was TBS back then after all). I was REALLY expecting to have this blow my ninja mind, but overhyping did it in. Dont get me wrong. This was a very very fun match but for a first timer, it didnt live up to the hype. Much like sex.

[1990-07-07-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler and Downtown Bruno / Jerry Lawler vs The Snowman
I, swear to God, also thought it was "Kick Butt". I've been wrong for 23 years. With help from the Pro Wrestling History website, the first challenger for Snowman after Lawler was....Jeff Gaylord. There is NO WAY IN HELL the tape of that match didnt hit the bulk eraser in the production room. If it does exist, it might be worse than the Abby-Zeus match.

[1990-07-04-USWA Texas] Bill Dundee vs John Tatum
Bill Dundee is one of the scummiest, sleaziest, carniest people I've ever met so its hard for me to take myself out of that mindset to watch him as a babyface.

[1990-07-04-USWA Texas] Steve Austin & Jeannie Clark vs Chris & Toni Adams
Jeanie not only doesnt put her long long hair up in a ponytail, but she's still wearing her earrings for this match. Clearly, she's in way over her head and hasnt been in a real fight. The gloves were hot, though. The match itself was just pure tease, sit in a long chinlock until the crowd is either yawning or dying to see the Blonds roll around. Austin waited seemingly for hours for Toni to jump on top of Adams. I think he even waved her over to the fallen Gentleman. So yeah, it not only appeared that the July 4th show didnt draw, but also the Two Acts of Violence against women pissed off the TV station. Sometimes, things just have to end.
