Is there any story behind the random Vader vs. Ken Shamrock match in FMW in 97?

On your question about upload time. I download my podcasts at home and then listen to them at work. So as long as it's available by evening, I'm good.

I watched the G-1 with Vader/Mutoh for the first time in years today. It's insane seeing Mutoh just get absolutely buried in pillows after he wins.

Question for you guys. Would there be any interest in me recapping the Apter mags I'm getting on here as I read through them?

Yeah, he really is just a piece of shit.

What is that from?

I think Tanahashi/Okada will be fun.

You guys had an almost giddy excitement for this one.

This one was probably your best episode yet.

My father in law had it done last year and had neck surgery done this year. He said the neck surgery was a breeze compared to the shoulder.

I think, timing wise, it's not the worst thing for him. He was trending down the card and this might save him from that.

They usually chop it up as well. I would watch the important matches and the matches that are good. Things like Elgin/White or Evil/Makabe you can just skip. Those guys are going to be mid-tier finishers at best and won't play into the tournament at all.

Don't watch everything. Just pick and choose the matches you really want to see and anything you hear is good.

Let's go in a slightly different direction with this. I say his guest appearance on Boy Meets World is one of the best a wrestler ever did.

I know he isn't as bad a worker as he is often portrayed but holy shit do I hate Greg Gagne. He's such an arrogant fuckwad in interviews and documentaries.

It's the nature of the beast and everything being 2 out of 3 falls.

Yeah, he had congestive heart failure and you're usually on borrowed time when you have that.

I know his WWF career kind of bombed but him attacking Gorilla was tremendous.

5/11/1984 - this one doesn't have winners noted: Main Event: Chris Adams vs. Jimmy Garvin Stipulation: If Adams wins then Sunshine gets 5 minutes in the ring with Precious. Wahoo McDaniel and Barry Windham vs. Harley Race and Crusher Blackwell Blackjack Lanza vs. Ken Patera in a lumberjack match High Flyers vs. The Grapplers Baron Von Raschke vs. Dick The Bruiser Crazy Luke Graham vs. Ron Ritchie Marty Jannetty, Ted Oates and Jerry Oates vs. Roger Kirby, Scott Farris and T.G. Stone 11/29/1985 - this person wrote all sorts of shit in here. Notes the Rock N Rolls are the new tag champs. Has a note WWF had 2,000 at a show. Notes this show had 5,000 and the next show is 1/1/1986. Midnight Express will be there and Magnum TA will face Tully Blanchard. Main Event: NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Ric Flair © vs. Dusty Rhodes ends in a double DQ Billy Jack Haynes and Rock N Roll Express d. The Russians Note: Person wrote Morton over Krusher Magnum TA d. Arn Anderson Note: Program lists it as Arne Anderson Jimmy Valiant and Superstar Billy Graham d. Midnight Express Note: DQ when the racket was used. Buddy Landell drew Terry Taylor Tully Blanchard d. Art Crews Crusher Blackwell d. Mr. Goto Note: Person crossed out Mr. Pogo

Got my first programs all from the St. Louis Wrestling Club. The person was even nice enough to circle the winners of the matches for him. Here's what I got: Friday, March 30, 1984: Main Event: Harley Race retains the Missouri Heavyweight Title against Wahoo McDaniel Blackjack Mulligan, Blackjack Lanza and Bruce Reed d. Crusher Blackwell, Ken Patera and Crazy Luke Graham Jimmy Garvin d. Chris Adams Dick the Bruiser d . Scott Farris Note: the program says Cy Jurgenson which the person crossed out and wrote Scott Farris One Man Gang d. Hacksaw Jim Duggan Dick Slater d. Buzz Tyler Fabulous Ones d. Don White and T.G. Stone The Grapplers d. Ted Oates and Les Thornton

They seem to be signing a lot of guys just so no one else can use them.

Chikara treats a gauntlet as individual matches as far as their point system goes.

My joke was Cassidy of Unusual Size for his TNA name.

Yeah, Ron pushing the company line on comics they want to push really doesn't do it for me. I really wish Fez would pop up somewhere and do some interviews about wrestling. I would love to know what he saw when he was growing up and going to the matches in CWF. I bet he saw some great stuff over the years.

Yeah, I listen to the old shows sometimes. It really was great until Fez lost his mind.
