[1990-01-27-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Midnight Express & Fabulous Freebirds vs Rock & Roll Express & Dynamic Dudes
Looked like Douglas got pelted with a drink coming out to the ring. How expensive would the hotline bill be to listen to the play by play of Lance Russel on a Sunday Night? Good match but didn't break any new ground with these teams. Feels good to have the RXR/MX back though and I look forward to the next chapter in their feud. Douglas/Ace look to about be at the end of the road here.

[1990-01-27-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Ted DiBiase
Real quick promo from Dibiase in the gym gearing up for Jake. Looks like I failed to remember how hyped Jake/Dibiase was going into Wrestlemania.

[1990-01-26-USWA Texas] Jeff Jarrett vs Billy Joe Travis (Guitar on a Pole)
God bless Loss for this USWA TX stuff with the longer tv matches as it is paying dividends already. This was a great brawl with huge bumping by Travis. I really want to see the Dundee/Travis match now seeing how good Travis works in these type of matches. I thought for a second Lawler might turn on Travis when he had the guitar in his hand and kept directing traffic. The post match beatdowns was a wild scene.

[1990-01-26-NWA-Power Hour] Ric Flair & Arn Anderson & Sting vs Great Muta & Buzz Sawyer & Dragon Master
What a match. Great heat and the face Horseman trio has the crowd going into a frenzy. As disappointing it was to see Flair turn heel in 1994 vs. Hogan, from what I have seen so far this year, I will be even more saddened in 1990. The FIP stuff he did here was good and not a role you often see him in. Sting also looked amazing and hit every move well. The shoulder tackle inside the ring with the crowd jumping and losing it will be tough to forget as the year progresses. January 1990 WCW has been amazing.

[1990-01-22-WWF-Miami, FL] Randy Savage vs Roddy Piper
Piper and Sherri are always great interacting with each other and this match featured a lot of graphic sherri shots including a close up on her ass when her dress came up. Someone alert Doc Sarpolis of this. The action after Savage teased running to the back was pretty bad but the airplane spot was cool and finish was predictably fun. Loss idea for WM 6 match ups sounds like a good alternative.

[1990-01-21-WWF-Royal Rumble] Ron Garvin vs Greg Valentine
Kind of side with Kevin on some of the later pinfall attempts. I can appreciate them in the context of learning the style of the match or to break up a submission attempt but to continuously go for a pin without any context is strange. I also think Garvins stooge faces in the figure four was stupid but otherwise this had more gritty intense moments than you are used to seeing on WWF tv and PPV from this era. I loved the way they laid into each other and the match was very good despite some obvious flaws in my opinion.

[1990-01-21-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Interview: Ultimate Warrior
I thought Warriors analogies worked well here especially the writing of the wall for the history books one for Hogan. Will be interesting to see if as this program advances if Warriors mic work is above average because the only promo I can recall off hand is the completely bonkers one from Wrestlemania in the locker room.

[1990-01-20-USWA Texas] Jerry Lawler vs Junkyard Dog
I thought this was surprisingly loads of fun and really showed Lawler doing is best to make something out of JYD. He knew he was going to have to do about 95% of the work to get this match over and he is game. I enjoyed Marc outsmarting Terrence into admitting Lawler was using the chain.

[1990-01-20-USWA-Memphis TV] Music Video: Jeff Jarrett
Really trying to get over the sex appeal of Jarrett here with him removing the towel and what not. I laughed at the car Jarrett was driving and the appearance of him leaving his house considering what his living arrangements probably were at the time if he was out on his own. Apparently live is going good at this point of time for ol Double J.

[1990-01-20-USWA-Memphis TV] Interview: Jerry Lawler / Interview: Junkyard Dog
Nothing too memorable but an effective job of hyping up their upcoming match together and good reintroduction of JYD to the territory.

Guess Dave is more savvy as Lawler gives him credit for since he must have made a copy of the promo tape from JYD.

[1990-01-20-AJPW-New Year Giant Series] Genichiro Tenryu & Toshiaki Kawada vs Jumbo Tsuruta & Isao Takagi
I enjoyed Tenryu's demeanor and him gradually going over the edge and then flipping his shit but I struggled to connect to the match as a whole. Kawada brought nothing to the table and Takagi is just not as good as others to take the punk beating from Tenryu. It is kind of alarming watching these first few matches of All Japan on how risky it may end up being for them to thrust Misawa/Kawada into the spotlight in 6 months time. They each have shown moments of brilliance up to this time but neither has struck me as a consistent worker yet or extremely reliable in big situations.
