[1991-01-05-WCW-Saturday Night] Brian Pillman vs Rip Rogers
Good match despite the ridiculous 180 they did on the stip. They only tried to pin each other for the first 5 minutes, when id didn't count. Then when it counts there were exactly 0 near-falls leading to the Pillman win. Beautiful. The Pillman dive from the stands was sweet, as was his signature bump (although that was a little scary).

[1991-Monterrey] La Fiera vs Jerry Estrada (Chain)
Great brawl, but I will second (15th?) the awful finish. Can't blame them for wanting to not be in the ring any longer than they had to be though. That suplex spot gone wrong to the apron looked particularly nasty. Impressive dive with the chain involved as well. Strong start to 1991.

[1990-12-29-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Eddie Gilbert
Eddie refusing to wrestle on TV because of the bounty is incredible. He looks so hurt and upset by it. The bounty on Lawler, whether it was Eddie's doing or not, definitely got a different reaction.

[1990-12-29-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Arn Anderson vs Tom Zenk
Seems like this is the kind of deal a TV champ would have had to know how to do. Drag a young (hopefully promising with some prospects for the future) guy to a far better match than said young guy was capable of. Probably one of the reasons Arn was one of the better TV champs WCW ever had.

[1990-12-26-NJPW-King of Kings] Masa Chono vs Lou Thesz
If I was impressed with Bock at 56 doing what he did, Thesz at 74 is amazing. No way you'd expect anywhere near what we got here.

[1990-12-26-NJPW-King of Kings] Nick Bockwinkel vs Masa Saito
For a guy who was 56 and 3 years out of wrestling, Bock looked really impressive. I like that they kept it basic and worked everything in a really gritty fashion. Definitely my kind of match.

Not great, but glad I got to see 2 legends mix it up. Casas' outfit was something else.

[1990-12-22-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Eddie Gilbert
Eddie IS Jerry Lawler now. I love how this stuff about Eddie being the New King (and all of his rhetoric) plays into Lawler's accusation months earlier. It's great that all of Eddie's crowing just proves Lawler's point that Eddie is just some punk kid who really, really wants to be Lawler. The fact that Eddie is actually a better heel Lawler makes it even better.

Man, now I am torn between wanting to see the Fabs and MX in Memphis. Can I get both, with some kind of 3 man stable thing instead? Anyway, good to see Corny in Memphis.

Good to know where the "Kane" thing they used years later came from anyway.
