It’s my birthday and what better way to celebrate than with a Wrestling Observer Flashback!

And not only that, but it’s a Wrestling Observer Flashback…FLASHBACK. So yeah, a reader with too much time on his hands pointed out that I had skipped the 10/15 issue from 1990 for whatever reason. So let’s head back to 1990 and see what was going on that week!
