In this very first episode of Immovable Objects, we review NWA/WCW's  Capitol Combat 1990, a show most (in)famous for the highly promoted but  disappointingly brief appearance of Robocop. We cover every match, every promo, the context in which the show took place, Dave Meltzer's live  and in-person thoughts from ancient Observer issues, and so much else, as we go on many unrelated tangents! Enjoy!

*****The first ten episodes of this show were recorded WELL in  advance, so please disregard and/or be amused by references to stuff like how it's snowing out or whatever was going on in the real world at the time*****
