This is a great point. People are "cutting the cord" in record numbers. I'm actually considering doing so, myself. Yeah, my wife and I cut the cord in February and haven't looked back. Hulu has the 90 minute Raw (not that I watch it, but Johnny swears by it) the day after, in addition to the Network of course. Add in Netflix, Rdio, and Amazon, with the convenience of watching what you want when you want, and it's the best decision we ever made. If I want to watch sports I just stream from First Row Sports or watch at a bar with friends

Looks awesome and plan on purchasing it soon. I truly love this period and territory, perhaps more than anyone on this board, and look forward to the insights. Thanks for sharing.

I think they are practically manditory

I remember this first being rumored years ago when the George bio came out. Hopefully it makes it to the big screen this time.

Well, and also the general trend of ratings declines due to more and more people watching TV in alternative ways

You forgot Mildred Burke

Hey that's awesome. Thanks man

If Reigns is nominated, then his female counterpart in great modern WWE matches should be as well... Sasha Banks via PWO Reaction shows Also, Mick McManus via microscope http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/19675-mick-mcmanus/

Oh yeah, Larry Z was in several of them, including one where they are watching the Bruno episode of Tom Seaver's Greatest Sports Legends.

Don't forget about his obsession with the Dallas TV show in the 80s

Hmmmm...that reminds me that I have that match kicking around somewhere. I need to watch it

Ok, I re-mixed the track and uploaded it

Yeah I fucked that up. Sorry dude

I'm on my phone, so otherwise I'd post a link, but check out the song "Whoomp There It Is" by Tag Team for your answer

Like I said before, I'll take on all comers

This is just an announcement to let everyone know that three pods that I'm affiliated with are all returning shortly after brief absences. Marty Sleeze and I are finally recording Tag Teams tonight (Wrestlemania 3 themed show). Brainbuster will be back around Halloween with former champ Marty returning to challenge my throne. Finally, look for a new Titans, continuing our look at 1982 WWF, before the end of the month. Keep on the lookout fans!

OK, now I'm picturing a secret section of the Network featuring X-rated fare like "Big Show Meats the Divas" or something

The matches (not complete) http://wrestlingdata.com/index.php?befehl=konst&letter1=D&wrestler1=5569&letter2=B&wrestler2=5561&letter3=&wrestler3=0&letter4=&wrestler4=0&matchtyp=0&anzeige=matches

Two men once locked in perpetual combat, careers and lives intertwined, but mostly forgotten in the modern age. They were professional wrestlers, in the classic sense of two men in trunks pretending to fight. They were successful in what they did. They drew money. One was popular, the other was hated. They wrestled decade after decade, starting when Elvis became popular, TV was new and the NWA was supreme, ending when Michael Jackson became king, computers had entered homes, and Kayfabe and the NWA were crumbling. By the end they were the subject of ridicule, lowly "jobbers" losing every match they wrestled. But who were they? They wrestled each other perhaps as many times as any two wrestlers ever, and their lives had many parallels. -Both were from Europe. DeNucci from Italy and Scicluna from the Isle of Malta -Both came to Canada as young men. DeNucci to Montreal and Scicluna to Toronto -Both fell into wrestling by hanging out at gyms -Both initially wrestled for long periods under different names than they would become famous for. DeNucci as Dominic Bravo, Scicluna as Mike Valentino -Both made it to New York. Scicluna in 1965, DeNucci in 1967. While they continued to travel and preform in other areas for several years, New York became their home and by the mid-70s they were more or less a permanent fixture of Vince McMahon Sr's undercards -Both were significant stars in Australia during the 60s, a time when wrestling in that country was as hot as anywhere in the world -Both achieved success in the tag team ranks of the WWWF, holding the straps multiple times -Both, in the twilight of their careers, existed only to lose to established stars or young, up-and-coming talent. Night in and night out. Year after year. -Both, post-wrestling, drove a trucks for, fittingly, rival newspapers. DeNucci for the New York Daily News, Scicluna for the New York Times. They first wrestled each other in 1961, when DeNucci was Dominic Bravo and Scicluna was Mike Valentino. They last wrestled each other in 1982. They wrestled each other a lot over the years, hundreds and hundreds of times. Gone but not forgotten

Same thing in Bryan's book in the chapter intro parts written by a WWE writer. He's constantly referred to as "the WWE's Yes!Man". All the other nicknames are shoehorned in. Wrestlemania is always referred to by one of its nicknames..."The Show of Shows", "The Grandest Stage of Them All" etc.

Damn right. It's an awesome match.

Well, I think the plan was to strap the rocket to Sheamus, and he did end up beating Bryan in 18 seconds of course, but somewhere along the line it was derailed. Totally can't remember why without Googling though

Then my question is did they false advertise Sting?
