Classic Wrestling Review: 1990-06-24 NWA Main Event


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-03-07, we are going back into the way back machine again.  This time to 1990.  It is the beginning of summer and the Main Event is going to be joined in progress.  What is on the show I have no idea so how about we get to it shall we!
  • We came into the show with Z-Man throwing a horrible looking missile dropkick for the win  
  • Hey...did someone say something about getting FIRED UP because I think that is Tommy Rich doing commentary!
  • WE do not get guys like Ole Anderson anymore do we?  He just MADE you believe what he said
  • Sting was not the best interview but again you believe what he said.  That is missing in most shows anymore sadly
  • It is weird to see Scott Steiner in the ring right now.  Last night he collapsed at an Impact taping and is having a heart procedure of some kind.  I am sure Big Pappa Pump will be fine just scary and strange
  • I do love this time in WCW in the ring.  The rest sucked but man some of the best ever in the ring including these fours!
  • To think that this should have been Arn and Tully had Jim Herd not screwed Tully over.  I would have loved to see those matches
  • Rick and Barry are being very friendly it is weird.  Are they still doing the Rick Steiner is kind of mental at this point?
  • TOMMY SAID IT!  FIRED UP!!!!
  • The wild eyes of Arn Anderson says more than most guys these days say in a 20-minute promo!
  • WCW/NWA may have been down at this point but can you imagine having these guys today?  
  • That was an abrupt DQ, I had no doubt it was going to end up that way, but that was very abrupt
Because of what I assume was a Braves game this was a short show but man how good was that main event tag match?  I wish we had matches like this now instead it would have been all four in the ring with no tags.  All flips and finishers for 30 minutes to fans chanting fight forever instead of lets go Scott or booing the Horsemen.  But what do I know....

RESULTS
  • Z-Man def. Pete Sanchez
  • Recap:  Sting/Ric Flair (NWA World Champion)
  • Interview:  Sting
  • Rick Steiner/Scott Steiner def. Barry Windham/Arn Anderson (TV Champion) via DQ
