Isn't the rating due to interest in Vince and the scandal?

Stampede is of course notorious for clipped matches, so match recommendations aren't really the way to go. I grew up on 1986-89 Stampede, so if you can find a good run of full shows from then, especially 86-87, you should have a fun time. You've probably come across this, but if not this playlist has a good sampling of full shows, although frustratingly not in chronological order

Welcome to PWO Brynn!

Pretty much what Reel stated, a few clips and a couple Baba matches. There is/was also a 1969 match vs George Steele that was a Hidden Gems upload on the Network a few years back. As a long time Bruno lover, warms my heart to see all the love here

Two Titans of comics two weekends in a row. George Perez passed away last night

Danielson vs Okada seems like a no-brainer dream match if it's possible

Just finished Night Force, the Wolfman/Colan book from 82-83, which reunited the Tomb of Dracula team at DC (minus inker Tom Palmer). I really wanted to like this. It has its strong points, such as lead character Baron Winters, and the initial seven-part story arc, combining horror, adventure, science fiction and Cold War espionage, is pretty good, but the remaining 7 issues are nothing special. In fact, I would avoid the final 4 issues completely, as the book goes off the rails and the series ends with a whimper. Finally reading 60s Doom Patrol and it's really fun. Also finally reading Jason Aaron's Thor run from the beginning and I love it so far. Still on the Dick Tracy train, and to add to my classic newspaper strip reading, I'm ambitiously attempting to go through Li'l Abner from the beginning. I know Al Capp turned out to be scum, but I've been intrigued by this strip for years and finally have the means to read a large chunk of it if I want. We'll see how it goes. Also reading Roy Thomas-era Avengers, 70s Phantom Stranger and about to dive into Kubert's Tarzan, which I read bits and pieces of many years ago but never the whole run

My compliments to whoever came up with that as a name for the podcast. Brilliant

I think Michaels and Goldust worked a ladder match at Exhibition Stadium in TO in the summer of 96, maybe other places

Has this been around for years and I was just not aware of it?

Yeah, after thinking more about the whole thing, my pro wrestling brain is probably clouding my better judgment lol

Seems like a work to me, but the overwhelming consensus in the media is that it was a shoot, which is strange in a modern world so quick to scream "fake" at everything and embrace insane conspiracies as truth

One my favorites to watch back in the 90s. Pretty underrated as a major star and as a wrestler imo. Great character stuff and great matches. RIP

Yep, that was right before the blowoff I believe

Call me crazy, but I was a big fan of the Tye Dillinger vs Eric Young feud in NXT from 2016-17. Just solid progression over several months, climaxing in a satisfying cage match blowoff
