The Skyscrapers, the tag team composed of Sid Vicious and Dan Spivey, take on the Road Warriors in a Chicago Street Fight...but neither member of the Skyscrapers is Sid or Spivey? Ole Anderson blows up in his match against the Steiners in approximately 2 minutes. Sting is injured but makes an appearance and is awesome, Ric Flair and Lex Luger are wrestling...again. But the Midnight Express and Rock'n'Roll Express are wrestling...again. It's a pretty fun show that made for fantastic conversation!

Professor Degree and Blade Daily are talking Royal Rumble 1990! Is the Ultimate Warrior one of the least coordinated human beings to ever live? Why does Haku keep helping Jimmy Snuka?! Did Bret Hart ever actually get eliminated?!! There's a lot of shenanigans but it's a damn fun watch!

Brett, Blade and Degree are in the hizouse talking about Capital Combat 1990...the PPV by WCW not whatever terrible things are happening in actual America right now. Sting with Robocop! El Gigante is ready for laser tag! Mike Rotunda is a literal Captain of a boat! And there's the usual antagonism and ill will!
