Is a Tenryu show on the docket? Whatever happened to the Tenryu comp, by the way? I must admit that it was weird in a wrestling fan dorkiness kind of way to hear Naylor, Will, and Chris Hero on the same show.

Since neither team would be good at being the bullies, it would be awesome to see them try to out chickenshit heel each other.

Sounds like it could be a heck of a match. I wish they would do matches like this more often. Also wish they would have matches like this at Survivor Series. Thanks for the recap.

I'm more like Savage now that I am older, but there was a time I was more like Flair. All about the good times, parties, and among other things, the women of the night. There are times I miss that younger lifestyle I once had. Like when I haven't had "real" fun in six-months because I've been a miser with my money because of bills. But there are times I'm glad that lifestyle is over. I don't have to worry about rides home, coming up with explanations about my whereabouts, or all of the overdraft fees my bank penalizes me for. Flair has always been consumed by the frat boy syndrome. He has to be the party. Not just the coolest kid at the party, or the life of the party, but the party itself. Randy was apparently just fine with being the guy who holds up the counter or leaves an indentation in the wall he leaned against all night while sipping on the one beer he's had all night. His standards of material things, social identification, and resume of women he slept with in comparison to Flair's is like trying to compare the winter in Michigan to the winters in Florida. After a second and third read of Flair's comments, I get the impression that Flair holds two regrets about Savage's passing. One, I get the impression Flair is envious of the lifestyle Savage had, which is one he has never climbed the fence to explore before. Maybe he thinks his life would be better if he had been more mature with his money and personal life. He'd have a stabler relationship with his children. Would probably still be married to his second wife. Two, and at the same time, he also has regret that Savage never dipped his toes into Flair's pool. That he wasn't one of the boys, not like Arn, Tully, or any of the West Texas boys. Flair's fondest memories involve any number of men's men that Flair partied with, like Harley, Wahoo, or Blackjack Mulligan. Space is also reserved for wild parties, angry hotel managers, and the amount of cash that was put into his hands that poured out into things that made him feel alive. Maybe Flair thinks Savage didn't "live" enough. Nothing wrong with that to me. Just one man thinking back on another man's life. Savage got a good review in my opinion.

Yup, same here.

How forgiving are Mexican promotions? From the report I read on DVDVR, Averno did not make a good last impression.

I doubt you would be willing to only part with specific issues because it would leave a hole in your collection. While I appreciate the thought, I'm not going to invest into something like that because I don't know where I would put them, shipping prices would be insane, and I might dislike them instantly.

I thought CMLL had their big names under written contract though?

Thanks Bix.

I do not own a single WON Newsletter, nor have I ever read a full issue. I am interested in purchasing some. I have no real interest in nowadays stories, gossip, and/or rumors. I am instead interested in past issues. What are some key issues I should get? I feel like I am venturing into puro again.

I bet you have some awesome stories, man. How long have you been a teacher? Thank you. That was and is awesome on so many levels. Well, only one technically. But a few if I stretched it, probably.

I've never heard of this match before. Was it recently unearthed?

Did Lynch ever advertise in magazines? Or was he just a known trader through people who subscribed to the WON?

Is there anyone younger than Bix or I? Interesting to see how some of the members here got into the biz of taping and trading. A lot of the things I've read recently have flown over my head. I used to get all the wrestling magazines when I was a kid, like 8-12ish. I had this one that was from Germany. It covered all American and Mexican wrestling. Wish I still had it. Anyway, from what I have heard, tape traders used to buy advertising space in the magazines, or is that inaccurate? I never recall reading anything about that or I would have probably begged my dad to buy something for me.

Owen Hart vs. Dave Finlay according to SLAM! is 8-26-90. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/Result.../hart-owen.html
