Ep 44: 1990 NWA's Capital Combat
NWA Capital Combat 1990 will forever live in infamy, and TLF hosts Jack Encarnacao and JP Sarro stand ready to lampoon and assess it appropriately.
Witness:
- The story behind the forced Robocop angle, and how the gimmicked cage Robocop bent with his hands actually managed to dilute other parts of the show
- The legacy of movie Robocop, and how casting him as a traditional, save-the-day superhero completely misses the point and genius of the film
- Reflections on Norman the Lunatic
- Big Johnny versus Big Evil, as Mark Calaway makes a rare WCW PPV appearance and flashes several glimpses of his trademark Undertaker move set against Johnny Ace
- Sid stands around – stone faced and in a tuxedo for no reason – while his 4 Horsemen counterparts lambaste Sting
- Why Bobby Eaton is under appreciated
- Junkyard Dog tells Jim Cornette he’s been sleeping with his mother
- One of the best Frankensteiners Scott ever hit
- The Corporal Punishment match between the Freebirds and the Rock N’ Roll Express, where whipping a man’s hide is legal, but entering the ring without a proper tag is not
- Captain Mike Rotunda
All that and so much more, as The Lapsed Fan journeys back to a true pro wrestling curiosity, and gives that trademark TLF treatment to Capital Combat 90.
