Oh how I miss the NWA from that era and the watching the different stars around back then. There were always tons of compelling feuds and the live house shows were great and came around almost every month. Great piece to bring back memories for those of us fortunate to have watched this as it happened.
This is a sweet deal man. I never knew I needed to read anything like this!
I'm too young to have watched anything from any company in 1990. I've just kind of heard that the NWA was doing some great stuff nobody was watching. Forgive me if this is asking for a spoiler, but is there anything going on in this time period that a totally virgin (read: modern) wrestling fan absolutely needs to see?
Thanks, I appreciate the comment and the subscription! For 1990 specifically, there's definitely some great stuff happening in the NWA, mostly with Sting, Flair, and the Horsemen. You also get some ridiculousness, like RoboCop showing up. You'll get guys like Mick Foley, Steve Austin, and Undertaker rising through the ranks. If you’re into Japanese wrestling, All Japan has one of the all-time great changings of the guard and stellar in-ring action. There's a lot more to get into, but I'll be sure to recommend stuff to check out in the articles.
Yes, agreed. I was a huge Cactus Jack fan and followed him from early on. He was a trendsetter for his time. He didn't ever seem to get the recognition he deserved back then by the WCW promotional management. It was gratifying to see him come to WWE and find massive success.

Oh wow, I always knew Mick Foley as the guy with the sock puppet from WWE. I never knew he had another persona as Cactus Jack.
Oh, yes. He had a very awesome career, pre-WWF/E
