Never know...

SuperTape 3

Your Hosts-Sean Mooney and Lord Alfred Hayes

The whole theme to this tape is both Mooney and Hayes are ''pilots'' with them in front of a plane green screen. Oh boy lets get to it...

Mr .Perfect vs Kerry Von Erich- This is from a Maple Leaf Garden show from the Fall of 90. Bad match here as these two never seemed to click. Match ends at about 8 minutes  when Tornado is counted out with Perfect getting the W. Von Erichs brief IC Title run would come to an end by December. Bad way to start the tape.

Jimmy Snuka vs Barbarian-Worst match of the tape by far. Barbarian has em in the bearhug seemingly all match it felt like. The Toronto crowd you could tell was begging for this match to end. Barbarian with the win after hitting a big boot with him then putting his feet on the ropes for the pin. This was 15 minutes of pure torture.

Tugboat vs Earthquake-Battle of the future Natural Disasters! Another match here that was bad but seeing Quake hit a dropkick is still awesome all these years later. Match ends when Dino Bravo comes to the aid of Quake which causes a DQ.

Now we get to the selling point of this whole tape...The profile on LOD.

Demolition vs LOD/Ultimate Warrior- This 6 man tag was a big marquee match for the company during the Fall of this year(1990) as it was the main event on a lot of the house shows.Basic 6 man here with the heels being in control with the faces making the comeback in the end.Warrior  with his signature shoulder block and splash on Smash for the win. Nothing to write home here. Still wish LOD/Demo had a proper feud.

LOD vs Demolition (Smash/Crush)-Another bad match full of submissions and non selling.Ax was done by this point as he left right after SSeries 90 so we are left with Crush...ughhhhh. LOD with the win after Hawk hits Smash with a flying clothesline from the top. Some ''profile'' huh? 2 matches and a couple promos.

Next up is the ''call of the action'' segment.This is just Lord Alfred doing solo commentary over a Shane Douglas squash. Pointless and a waste of time. Next...

Marty Jannetty vs Paul Roma-The feud from SSlam 90 continues! Decent match here but Roma and his chinlocks does bring it down a tad.Roma with the win after Herc sweeps Jannetty allowing him to fall on top for the win. Definite best match of the tape so far but nothing spectacular either.

Big Boss Man vs Ted DiBiase-This was a feud that started ay WM 6 and went till the early Summer that year but never had an ending as DiBiase went right into his feud with Dusty Rhodes.These two blended well I thought and with that we got a decent little match here.The finish is weird as Boss Man hits an atomic drop on the money man and for some reason the bell rings? No idea there. Virgil comes in post match to attack Boss Man but he eventually clears the ring with his trusty nightstick. Weird ending aside this was decent.

Next up is a 5 minute segment called ''WWF's outrageous hits''.Just a montage of the wrestlers hitting jobbers with their moves.Another pointless segment.

Mr. Perfect vs Jake ''The Snake''Roberts-Last match of the tape here.Decent technical match here but nothing more. I don't recall these two facing each other much so this was a nice treat.Jake with the win  by DQ after Bobby Heenan interferes. They love DQs don't they? Post match Perfect gets a DDT while Lucifer scares off The Brain. Not a bad way to end the tape as even though it's only 10 minutes long, they still blended well and in turn gave us a good ol' fashioned wrestling match.

Final thoughts-While the last 3 matches are watchable,The 1st half of the tape is REALLY hard to sit through.Even if you are a fan of the era(like me) this is one tape I cant recommend.Verdict-Pass
