Didn't even look at set list when sending payment. Feel like this will be a very popular set in the threads as probably be a starting point for folks who have yet to get into yearbooks. Can't wait until it arrives.

 

And congrats to Will on the new birth.

Fuck. King. Awesome.

 

This is where I am officially jumping on. It's been the one I've been waiting for.

This is the first yearbook that's come out where I actually sat and looked at the listing semi-properly

and holy fuckballs @ these.

 

I'm still juggling whether to get this or '94 first. Any idea which one you guys got planned next?

 

And congrats to Will and wife for the new little helmet.

I would recommend starting here. It's the beginning of the decade, and walking to it will probably make you appreciate '94 even more when you get there. Just my opinion.

I placed my order right away, and I'm really excited for this. 1990 was the first year I started watching wrestling as a kid, but I only watched WWF that year for the most part (I think I caught a couple of episodes of USWA on ESPN, and I watched part of the September Clash on TBS, because I was flipping through the channels and saw Terry Taylor and thought, "Hey, it's the Red Rooster, but with normal hair!") so this will be stuff that is mostly new to me, and the WWF things on there will be stuff I haven't seen in 22 years. I'm going into this with mostly a blank slate and I'm really looking forward to checking this stuff out.

Yeah, I'll get this before '94. '94 has more Mascarita Sagrada, but no Cowabunga. Should place an order before December.

Took a closer look at the match selection. First yearbook to not have either SMW or ECW on it. Interesting to see what will be included besides the regular big promotions. Seen no Abrams UWF so that will be new for me. Very little shoot wrestling. USWA seems to be well represented. What is the difference between USWA and USWA TX? Was that the old WCCW promotion?

Yes, in 1990, the USWA was essentially two promotions. You had the USWA as you know it running out of Memphis. Then, there was the USWA running out of Dallas. The booking didn't overlap at all, but some of the wrestlers worked both places.

 

There is a season set out there for 1990 USWA, but ...

 

Well, this is probably better to link to than explaining it again.

I don't have access to that fancy portion of the site.

Well I hope I was as first order batch. Anyways, still looking forward to this showing up in my mail box.

Awesome! My set has arrived!
