    [1991-01-30-WCW-Clash of the Champions XIV] Interview: Stan Hansen

    Great hype for a match we all know can't be what they are hyping it up as. Even so, Vader vs. Hansen anywhere is at least good.

    [1991-01-26-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler, Bill Dundee & Fabulous Ones

    The hanging bit was really well-done. All of the promos as well. Top end Memphis really delivers on a lot of levels that the bigger promotions just don't.

    [1991-01-30-WCW-Clash of the Champions XIV] Sting, Bill Apter, Jim Ross and Dusty Rhodes

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    One of the posters above captured my feeling on this. Dusty is back home. Love ya big Dust! Anyone else think these WOTY and other awards were just WCW-booked hype at this point?

    Terrence Garvin can go away anytime.

    Sid was the story for me here. Who knew the guy could work?

    [1991-01-18-USWA Texas] Eric Embry vs Gary Young

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    I thought brawling into the darkened portions of the Sportatorium was a sketchy decision at best. Why highlight how small the crowd is? Fine match, but that was what stood out for me.

    [1991-01-11-AJW] Manami Toyota vs Akira Hokuto

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    It looked like Hokuto's arm was injured they way she really wasn't using it. One of the better joshi matches I have ever seen, loved the laser focus on the story instead of trying to go big at the end.

    The Fabs! Cornette! YES!!! Don't care how long it lasts, just gonna enjoy it while it does.

    [1991-01-11-AJW] Aja Kong & Bison Kimura vs Bull Nakano & Kyoko Inoue (Hair vs Hair)

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Normally not a fan of the "big girl using weapons over and over" joshi stuff, but they made it work for me. I'm a blood and guts guy when it comes to wrestling, but this kind of stuff does not do it for me enough to put it in the top tier of matches, even with the great Aja vs. Bull dynamic.

    [1991-01-13-UWA] El Hijo del Santo vs Brazo de Oro

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    I like the Dandy/Satanico matches more, but I do think this one had something good going for it. Brazo's pacing is so perfect for being the big guy, bruiser type worker in the match. You know who is in charge based on how fast the wrestlers are moving. Brazo keeps things super slow and methodical, never letting Santo get to his more accelerated pace if he can help it. Just slowly beating the tar out of him. Then Santo gets to his up-tempo offense and he's struggling to keep it up so Brazo doesn't go back to his methodical beatdown. Very good work on showing the difference in styles.

    [1991-01-19-WWF-Royal Rumble] The Rockers vs Orient Express

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    This match was absolutely shocking for me. I loved it, but one thing kept going through my head. Did they plan all of this? Did they let anyone KNOW they planned any of it? Did Vince chew their ass afterwards for all of that...wrestling?!? that was going on? All told, great tag match and I wish there were more of these in the WWF.

    [1991-01-15-AJPW-New Year Giant Series] Toshiaki Kawada vs Akira Taue

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    One of my favorite AJPW matches of the 90s. I know they get "better" and all, but something this simple can be just as incredible to watch when well-executed. And these guys are already at a level that rivals some of the best Stateside brawls I've ever seen.

    [1991-01-19-AJPW-New Year Giant Series] Jumbo Tsuruta vs Stan Hansen

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Nothing special, but still worth watching if you ask me. Both are all-time greats, they just rarely seem to come up big against the other.

    [1991-01-06-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Interview: Ultimate Warrior

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Warrior kind of stays on script here. He at least aims his comments in the right direction even if they are hard to understand due to Warrior-speak. Is it possible the guy wanted to stand out so much he refused to use normal words way past the point of sanity?

    [1991-01-17-NJPW] Big Van Vader vs Tatsumi Fujinami

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Fujinami brought the fire late. I thought early on Vader was a little too giving with the Fujinami slaps. Mostly well-executed if not overly inspiring up until Vader's eye started bleeding.

    [1991-01-05-USWA Texas] Jerry Lawler vs Terry Funk

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Awesome brawl. Loses a bit at the end, but that hardly matters when you have Terry Funk as a madman and Jerry Lawler just punching each other in the face. I mean, who gets tired of seeing that?

    [1991-01-05-USWA Texas] Jeff Jarrett vs Eddie Gilbert

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Loved this. The dueling limb work and attention to detail make this match for me. Finish was your typical Memphis fare, so it's no surprise by any means.

    Bobby Heenan RIP

    dawho5 replied to flyonthewall2983's topic in Pro Wrestling
    RIP Bobby Heenan. Easily one of the best performers wherever he went, even in a dying WCW.

    [1991-01-05-WCW-Saturday Night] WCW Hotline Commercial

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    I'm wondering how much money this little scam made for pro wrestling in the early 90s. Must have at least been some for every major company to have them.

    [1991-01-05-WCW-Saturday Night] Interview: Lawrence Taylor

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Taylor is not a great promo, but that's hardly a surprise. Ross does well enough leading him through this. WCW is looking REALLY lost to start 1991. The best we see in the first week is a match you know means nothing to anybody in the front office.

    [1991-01-05-WWF-Superstars] Ted DiBiase & Virgil vignette

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Virgil's face throughout this thing was great. Almost as great as Ted was.

    [1991-01-05-WCW-Saturday Night] Paul E. Dangerously and Missy Hyatt

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Paul made Missy look pretty beefy selling that slap. Ross acting as the disapproving parent seems like the right role for him.

    [1991-01-05-WWF-Superstars] Update: Royal Rumble update

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    So Warrior doesn't care about Savage despite apparently having a title match with him BEFORE the Slaughter match? That seems like a bad idea. Also, Sherri needed some mic time there. She brought so much to the act.

    [1991-01-05-WWF-Superstars] Brother Love: Hulk Hogan

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Pritchard and Hogan do have good chemistry. Hogan is clearly the number 1 guy again, no bones about it here. He beat Warrior in the Rumble last year, remember?

    [1991-01-04-AJW] Akira Hokuto vs Bull Nakano

    dawho5 replied to Loss's topic in January 1991
    Hokuto's fast start makes sense given her opponent. As does the later wearing down strategy with holds when the opening presents itself. Bull finally being vulnerable is a nice payoff, but ultimately these things didn't connect for me in watching the match. I did think Bull's selling down the stretch was really well done. Hokuto taking that tombstone was beyond stupid/crazy/brave.
