DWB is such a great promo. I love his intensity and aggrression even when it comes to body language.

[1990-06-30-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Bobby Heenan & Mr. Perfect
That Heenan promo was a tad too homoerotic. Perfect could cut a damn good promo in his way. He didn't have much flash, but he got across the right idea for the character.

Great matches for how short they are. Could have done with much more.

[1990-06-26-NJPW] Riki Choshu & Kantaro Hoshino & Kuniaki Kobayashi & Kensuke Sasaki & Shiro Koshinaka vs Animal Hamaguchi & Super Strong Machine & Tarzan Goto & Hiro Saito & Masanobu Kurisu
Thing for me about this match was that everyone looked really limited with a few exceptions. But they worked the 10 man tag aspect of ti well enough that you never got too much of the limitations. Everybody got to really play to their strengths and to me it was one of those "sum > parts" kinds of matches because of how it was worked.

Terry throwing river mud in Hansen's face was pretty awesome too.

[1990-06-30-CWA] Dave Finlay vs Steve Wright
I also got the heel ref vibe here. Seemed like he was on Finlay's side most of the time. Regardless, very fun clash of styles match with Wright adapting to Finlay's style by the end.

[1990-06-22-EMLL] Espectrito & Piratita Morgan vs Mascarita Sagrada & Aguilita Solitaria
Espectrito is so fun to watch. Sagrada is pretty damn impressive as well. I also loved the athletic feats aspect of this as each time somebody came into the ring they basically used the ropes to jump their entire height or more.

[1990-06-17-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Interview: Jake Roberts
Jake continues to be one of my favorite promos in 1990. He has such a great sense of what his character is and uses it so well.

[1990-06-12-NJPW] Riki Choshu vs Animal Hamaguchi
Animal is new to me, but he comes across really well here. He's clearly not at Choshu's level but doesn't care one bit. Great little sprint and I agree that Choshu is best when he doesn't need to recycle his 5 big spots over and over in longer matches.

[1990-06-12-NJPW] Big Van Vader vs Stan Hansen
A little long, but I can't help but see the logic in garreta's thinking. Both guys know they can't plow the other over, so they do a little more weardown type stuff before going back to trying to beat each other senseless.

Liger going off on Aoyagi was priceless. Took a bit to get there, but it makes for a very entertaining finish.

[1990-06-15-EMLL] El Dandy & El Satanico vs Atlantis & Angel Azteca
Dandy walking away from Azteca in frustration was absolutely brilliant. His avoidance of Atlantis was pretty good stuff also. Not a ton going on here, but they make it worth your while.

[1990-06-30-AJPW-One Night Special] Toshiaki Kawada vs Kenta Kobashi
I thought Kobashi was looking really gassed out towards the end. The opening sequence was so well-executed. I liked the mini brawl a lot, shades of things to come. The legwork in a Kawada vs. Kobashi match is necessary, I tell you. It HAS to happen. I wonder if the booking wasn't intentionally trying to slow walk Kawada away from being a junior at this point. A little more heavyweight style stuff added in to all the juniors spots, start phasing some of those spots out gradually.

[1990-06-23-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler, The Snowman and Leon Spinks
Spinks promo is all kinds of hilarious, as is Lawler's reaction to it. Doesn't seem real heelish for Lawler though.

This si the kind of manipulative that anyone selling anything strives for. Just amazing stuff with the way the video was put together and the sad version of Real American.
