[1991-04-06-USWA-Memphis TV] USWA fans / Jerry Lawler vs Eric Embry
Lawler/Embry in Memphis is a great, great matchup. Free from the constraints on blood and violence they really beat the shit out of each other.

[1991-04-13-USWA-Memphis-TV] Eddie Gilbert and Eric Embry
Eddie's punches right off the bat were absolute gold. Then of course he gets beaten into a bloody pulp. I liked that he was still crawling after Embry and co. as we go to commercial.

[1991-04-13-USWA-Memphis-TV] Bill Dundee and J.C. Ice
JC Ice predictably double crosses Billy. And then Uncle Dave won't stop letting him know how disappointed and disgusted he is with this behavior. No wonder JC keeps acting out!

Piper and Savage leaving in disgust was a nice touch. Ted worked a nice squash here with some crisp offense.

[1991-04-13-WCW-Pro] Owen Hart & Ricky Morton vs Greg Sawyer & Joey Maggs
Owen with some generic agility stuff, but I would agree that you don't want him doing too much too soon. Odd that the thing that really made Pillman stand out was his intensity and Owen stood out for his execution. Yet WCW wanted to push them for their amazing aerial attacks. Okay, not odd. What is the word I am looking for? Oh, it's very WCW that they did that.

[1991-04-13-USWA-Memphis-TV] Eric Embry vs Mickey Jay
Great segment, Eddie getting fired up is always a treat and Embry is just so low down and dirty. Edit: Is this late 90s WCW ref Mickey Jay?

[1991-04-12-USWA Texas] Jeff Jarrett vs Tom Pritchard
USWA Texas is even more reliant than Memphis side on the traditional Memphis nonsense. Must have something to do with being on ESPN and having to tone down the violence/no blood. Either way, great work that gets drowned out (again) by shit booking to continue the feud.

[1991-04-13-WCW-Saturday Night] Ric Flair vs Brian Pillman
I don't worry about whether I think the 90 match or this one are better. I think they are both incredible and wish they had made Pillman a big time challenger for Flair so we got matches throughout the 90s. Top notch work from both and it's hard for me to think that nobody in the WCW offices took notice of how amazing Pillman has been when given the chance.

[1991-04-13-USWA-Memphis-TV] Jerry Lawler vs Eric Embry (Cage)
This here looked like an incredible cage match. Both guys throwing awesome, violent strikes, Embry bleeding, those chairshots looked brutal. I am with soup, this would be the one MSC match I would want in full that I've seen so far.

[1991-03-02-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Ultimate Warrior
I am all for no more Brother Love, despite some very high points of the segment. But having your top babyface beat the crap out of a completely defenseless interviewer, no matter how much of an asshole he may be, seems a bit over the top.

[1991-04-01-SWS-Wrestle Dream in Kobe] Earthquake vs Koji Kitao
Once Kitao realized Tenta was onto him, he didn't get anywhere near where the big guy could grab him. Probably smart given Tenta's Greco-Roman background.

Hogan really looks good. Crowd was NOT buying into Yatsu one bit.

[1991-04-05-AJPW-Championship Carnival] Mitsuharu Misawa vs Kenta Kobashi
Kobashi was always great working a side headlock. Definitely better than Misawa working any kind of hold for any amount of time. Just not a strength of Misawa's and I'm pretty sure he knew that given how often he didn't do it. But how else do you wear down an up-and-coming stablemate like Kobashi without looking like a complete prick?

Good beginning for bearer's interview segment. I like that just the idea of the Undertaker is scary to most of the wrestlers.

Why did they not put the number you needed to all for tax advice on the screen?
