We don't have very much of prime Jimmy, his Boogie Woogie man stuff was probably in-ring post-prime. If you want the clips of this Lawler vs. Valiant match from 1981 he looks like an all time great brawler

Do we think it is complete matches, or just short clips?

I would make a semi-serious argument that Trevor Lee has had a better in-ring career then Ted DiBiase

4th best? There are like 20 Alvarados, and I think you have to get into the teens before you find someone Goldberg is better then, and I like Goldberg.

Sadly that Pierroth mask match is so badly clipped in the third fall that it is hard to follow what is happening in the match. We can only hope that a watchable version of that match surfaces some day.

New pod with author and book publisher Jon Snowden about Tetsuo Nakano vs. Masakatsu Funaki from UWF reborn. Fun talk about the history of shootstyle and MMA https://redcircle.com/shows/be34c05b-8483-4797-af55-5ec4bd254611/episodes/a62a51ce-e58f-4d1c-986c-2a85feebdfc9

Are Allie and Justice even feuding? I wrote up the Sami Callihan vs. Danny Havok match in my book, and that ends with Callihan slicing Havok's wrist to set up a move off of a scaffold, but that was the culmination of a violent feud. I mean Magnum TA tried to jab out Tully's eye with a broken chair leg, I mind it much less in that context, but something in the middle of a random tag with no backstory seems like a bad idea
