Look for the first 1981 show this coming week, a review of a Valentine's Day card from the Spectrum with some Good, Bad and just plain Ugly (aka "Pete's Protest")

That's how Jericho's career making heel run in WCW started

I listened and I agree, Grande would be a welcome guest. (just as long as he watches the footage and takes a spot after me in the speaking order )

I've never seen something that screams "GIF" more than Dave's Queen of England wave to the crowd

2014 RVD = 1979 Chief Jay Strongbow, without the Valentine feud I thought the Bryan-Steph-Brie segment was great

My guess is that, during a period when they were losing the promotional war, they scheduled their PPV's so that they would take place before WCW's in a desperate attempt to sway the buyer who only purchased one show a month

Still doing 1981. #27 will be the first 1975 show, #28 will be the first 1981. The plan right now is to do a 1975-1981-Special-1981-repeat rotation for the future Here's a preview of #28. May be a two-part show if we look at all the matches WWF (Spectrum, Philadelphia, 2/14/81) 1) Bulldog Brower vs Angelo Gomez 2) Larry Sharpe vs Steve King 3) The Great Yatsu vs Frank Savage 4) Hulk Hogan vs Dominic Denucci 5) Pedro Morales vs Stan Hansen 6) Killer Khan vs Rick McGraw 7) Sgt. Slaughter vs Bob Backlund 8) The Hangman vs Johnny Rodz 9) SD Jones vs Baron Mikel Scicluna 10) Tony Garea & Rick Martel vs Moondogs (Texas Death match)

Could only find these three instances for All Japan in 1972 where he teamed with Terry and Dory: Bruno Sammartino and Terry Funk defeated Giant Baba and Thunder Sugiyama by countout (29:47 minutes) by 2 falls to 1 Bruno Sammartino and Terry Funk defeated Giant Baba and Masio Koma (25:08 minutes) by 2 falls to 1 Giant Baba and Motoshi Okuma defeated Bruno Sammartino and Dory Funk by disqualification (15:12 minutes) by 2 falls to 1

The giggling is more athletic nowadays

Had a blast too. Here's a playlist to complement the show: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV6RCTo_Cd0DkwSC0tABPr2_PnP_04deW&feature=mh_lolz

Titans summer preview...

Next time on Titans...

Excellent piece. Wrestling writing at its finest

And DeNucci/Rivera vs the Blackjacks from 6/4/75 is a fucking awesome brawl involving chairs, the wooden steps and Albano dishing out ball shots.

Just watched Greg Valentine vs Jay Strongbow in a Strap Match from Philly 8/18/79 and it is a nice little bloody brawl.

Thanks man

Great minds think alike (special sneak preview)

The footage says otherwise IMO

One of the best near fall kick outs I've seen recently is from Backlund vs Killer Khan, 12/29/80 MSG. During the match (a very good one BTW), Bob kicks out at 2.9 after Khan hits him with a knee off the top rope. A few things made this kick out special. One, for long time WWF fans at the time, the knee off the top would have brought back memories of Bruno losing to Koloff to the same move, and the crowd reflects this, as there is a hush after Khan hits the move and then an audible gasp when Bob kicks out. Second, watching a ton of Bob for Titans, it is no exaggeration to say this was the closest near fall anyone had got on him in at least two years. In fact, Bob would rarely even give up a two count to anyone ever, so it was shocking for Khan to get a 2.9.

I didn't see it until years after it happened, but I really enjoyed Hogan-Michaels as a bizarre spectacle.
