[1990-11-23-WWF-The Main Event] Ultimate Warrior vs Ted DiBiase
Haha a Tokyo Dome return match! Oh, but this one's pretty good. I really have no problem with these WWF style main events. Not my favorite style by any means, but they totally deliver what the people want to see, with the exception of the DQ finish here. also, Ted forcing the kids out of the pool, so cool.

[1990-11-10-TWA] Jerry Lawler vs Terry Funk
I'm never going to complain about a Lawler vs Funk match, but I agree, the Gilbert match was better. This felt kind of like an exhibition, which puts it behind the Gilbert match for me.

[1990-11-17-NWA-Pro] Arn Anderson vs Terry Taylor
The second of the series, which is cut short. Not as good as the first match, but works well in the larger story, as we're 2 for 2 on time limit draws.

[1990-11-10-NWA-Pro] Arn Anderson vs Terry Taylor
This is one of my absolute favorite style of matches, the TV title match. This was a good stiff match, just about a perfect match for TV. Arn and Terry Taylor had a series of matches in a row, and I'm seeing now that the other ones are on here. Awesome, this is right up my alley.

[1990-11-16-EMLL] Pirata Morgan vs El Faraon
This is my second favorite lucha match of the year. This was laid out really clear for someone like me and I was able to follow each fall and the progression of the match throughout the change in styles. Pirata Morgan really impressed me here, this was a great match. The brawling in the third fall was especially great, really gritty feeling.

[1990-11-14-AJW-Wrestlemarinepiad] Aja Kong vs Bull Nakano (Cage)
Pretty unreal match. The lights going out in had me wondering if that was part of the match or what, what a wild scene. This feels totally unhinged, the leg stuff was brutal, the weapons flying around, a nunchuck (!) and it wasn't just mindless violence for it's own sake, there was a solid story as well, the classic vet vs upstart. This was crazy.

[1990-11-01-NJPW-Dream Tour] Keiji Muto & Masa Chono vs Hiroshi Hase & Kensuke Sasaki
I'm always interested to watch Muto wrestle, just to see how hard he's working, and if I can tell the difference. He looked good here, everyone did, and Hase was the standout here of course. Like everyone else said, this was red hot and fast paced, hard hitting action. Like the real essence of exciting pro wrestling. Awesome.

[1990-10-27-NWA-Halloween Havoc] Sting vs Sid Vicious
This isn't that bad of a match really. Sting's ramp lariat is huge. I think Sting gives a good performance in the match, he works really hard and makes Sid look huge, but has fire and good offense to not look weak. The finish is just very confusing looking on TV, due to production mistakes.

[1990-10-27-NWA-Halloween Havoc] Stan Hansen promo
This version of Stan Hansen kind of undercuts the dangerous aspect of his character. He's able to convey how out of control he is, but the lack of seriousness does a disservice to him.

[1990-10-27-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Jerry Lawler
This kind of feels like it's playing off of that piece earlier in the yearbook, where it was Lawler talking about life on the road, maybe with Connie Chung or someone? Anyway, I would love to see a comprehensive list of all the wrestling hotlines ever. I imagine someone has made one.

[1990-10-27-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Halloween Havoc: Terror Rules The Ring commercial
This is cheesy, but not overly cheesy for what it is, and actually a pretty good video for WCW. Even a decent celebrity endorsement from Elvira. They could have just as easily had Ken Osmond or Jason Hervey but they did the right thing here. On another note, my mom used to rent Elvira Mistress of the Dark for me and my sister to watch on Halloween, like several years in a row when I was little. Very bizarre choice, since my mom was pretty strict with what we were allowed to watch.
