The 1990 Rumble kicked into a higher gear than the previous two rumbles. The presentation was better – almost every participant had a “hype” vignette, brining more importance to the match. Not that there is any benefit to winning the Rumble besides the actual victory itself.

 Entrance themes were still sporadic. Koko, Marty, and Jake had entrance music played – the other 27 participants did not.

Managers were banned from ringside last year but are allowed this year.

Ongoing feuds, and the beginning of new feuds were present throughout the Rumble: Dusty Rhodes/Randy Savage, Roddy Piper/Bad News Brown, Demolition/the Colossal Connection, Tito Santana/Rick Martel, and the first Hulk Hogan/Ultimate Warrior face-off.

Hogan won the Rumble. The Rumble set up three matches for the 1990 Wrestlemania: Dusty/Sapphire vs Savage/Sherri, Roddy vs Bad News, and Hogan vs Warrior.

This is the most depressing Rumble so far when it comes to the number of wrestlers who have passed on: 13 out of 30 participants have left us: Bad News Brown, Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes, Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, Jimmy Snuka, Dino Bravo, Earthquake, Jim Neidhart, Ultimate Warrior, Rick Rude, Hercules, and Mister Perfect. The count increases to 20 when you include the non-wrestling participants: Howard Finkel, Joey Marella, Bobby Heenan, Sapphire, Mr. Fuji, Virgil, and Sherri Martel.

Rating: 7 out of 10. The best of the Rumbles so far as 1990 is when the bout begins to feel like a Rumble and not a battle royal (if that makes sense).

KINGINBLACK #OUTNOW

LA LOM at A&R Music Bar, Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 14, 2024

Bathed in red, then orange, backlights, the men of LA LOM were anonymous silhouettes as they introduced themselves with “Café Tropical” and “Danza de LA LOM.”

Soon, more-traditional lighting, white spots in front, primary colors in back, shone upon the Los Angeles League of Musicians, who brought music best suited for sun-drenched expanses of sand or grass to the early-falling darkness of mid-December Columbus, Ohio.

In the back sat Nicholas Baker, coaxing rhythmic patterns inspired by Santana, Los Lobos and Toubab Krewe. He was a percussion section unto himself, playing shakers, beating congas and cymbals with his hands and employing sticks, maracas and brushes on his drumheads.

Alternating between electric, four-string and double bass, Jake Faulkner was Baker’s rhythmic partner and LA LOM’s onstage cheerleader, hyping the audience that crammed into A&R Music Bar Dec. 14 with fist pumps, off-mic screams and wordless gestures of praise for Baker and guitarist Zac Sokolow, the band emcee whose surfing-south-of-the-border leads are the nominal words to the band’s instrumental music.

Conjuring sonic homages to the Shadows, Los Straitjackets, the Latin Playboys and Southern Culture on the Skids, though without the unique personality - not yet anyway - of Hank Marvin, Eddie Angel, David Hidalgo or Rick Miller, Sokolow nodded to his influences as he continues building a bridge to his own style.

So it went across 80 minutes of three- and four-minute offerings from 2022’s LA LOM EP, 2024’s the Los Angeles League of Musicians LP, covers and recent singles “La Tijera” and “Alacrán.” There were ballads such as “Rebecca” and raucous numbers like “El Casabel” that had the sardines in the audience pogoing and chanting to Faulkner’s raised-arm cues.

If there’s a knock on LA LOM, it’s that the trio tends to have a sameness in tone and style, leading to flatlines among the huge peaks. Yet the young trio is clearly at work at blazing a path that, when realized, is going to leave sonic scars in the ground it treads.

They’re on their way already.
