I've seen it written (probably Meltz) that Flair was BOTH the highest drawing champ (1980s) and the lowest drawing champ (early 90s)

That is one of the worst things ever written, wrestling or otherwise

Haha...totally!

You haven't lived until you've close listened Dick and Kal, man

I watched it the other night for the first time after listening to the show and thought it was a very good match, but execution of the finish (I didn't buy the ref having his back turned for the interference spot) knocked it down a notch for me.

Never mind my post if it's limited to just those 3 options

Hmm...works on my phone but not on my laptop. Thanks for sharing

Vince as promoter and commentator for sure. Booker would be three, but im not sure how to lay that out as a HoF case for him. Performer would be four if you want to be generous.

That's just a link to the main Youtube page

RIP Verne was an amazing wrestler when he was young. This match with Thesz from the Chicago Archives is awesome

You can't not like a song where the singer rhymes Amarillo with pillow

Cool stuff. I think we need to do an all-Sheik show someday

If you like your rings orange, your crowd noise piped in, and your stars cutting promos for shows they won't appear on, this territory is for you!

Usually I stream these shows illegally, but I'm going to purchase Summerslam because I want the full crystal clear HD experience for this extravaganza.

Yeah, I stumbled on this a while back. My favorite track is "Axaboomba". Here's a link to a review http://www.lostturntable.com/?p=2438

Very interesting info. Thanks for sharing man

No conspiracies. Just talent. In fact, I'm issuing an open challenge for anyone around here to meet me on Brainbuster. I'll take on all comers.

WWF actually was a member of the NWA until 1983

MSG Alley Fight with Patterson, 5/4/81

Titans of Wrestling #46 drops next week! The Fabulous Four return to 1981 with a vengeance. Sgt. Slaughter vs the World! Vince Jr! Fuji and Saito! Blood! New tag champs! Super 8! Allentown! Dick and Kal! And new jobbers! Bonus hype video! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2m34k9_1981_sport

Thanks guys. Yeah, I'm actually really looking forward to getting to 87-89 and all the great teams and match-ups. 85-86 has some good stuff but it's kinda the appetizer before the main course for me.

WM 27 was essentially built around Cena and Rock with Miz as Chris Jericho in WM 18

I meant "booked" in the manager sense of scheduling his bookings/appearances in NYC and around North America, not "booked" in the sense of coming up with angles and match ups for him

Backlund has great matches against Patterson, Koloff, Rhodes, Hogan, Khan, Patera, Rose, Hansen, Larry Z, Arab (Iron Sheik), Valentine, Muraco, Adonis (haven't seen, but that's the consensus), some would say Inoki, not to mention later vs Bret Hart...I would say that's a wide variety.
