I wrote down the same Patera quote when watching the match last night. Fantastic match. Loved the heated ending and post-match brawl. And what's this? The TDM between the two from later in the year is even better? Oh yeah.

Some of the MSG refs in the 79-83 footage we are watching for Titans are hands down amongst the worst ever. As in totally clueless to the business bad.

Only thing I can add to this is when I visited Ireland and the UK in 2000 I was shocked to discover, while in an HMV in Dublin, that you could BUY copies of late-80s/early-90s WWF PPVs and CHV's, whereas in Canada you could only RENT these videos and would never find them for sale in any stores.

First televised MSG show was June 30, 1973 on HBO. Through the 70s only certain MSG shows were televised though. 3 in 73, 3 in 74, 8 in 75, 7 in 76, 8 in 77, 6 in 78, and 9 in 79. Also, I think only 4 or 5 matches per show were televised. I think a random mid-60s MSG show was televised in the NY area.

Great stuff, man. Need to see some of those Valentine matches.

It's from 11/88 not 10/88. It's on dailymotion.

Also, $1 for anyone who can name all the audio clips I used in the pod.

Thanks for all the praise guys. The answer to the 6-man team question is Big Josh, Dustin Rhodes, and Tom Zenk btw. (cross posted on Facebook )

Who's next tonight, Pedro Morales? Bob!

So, should we expect to hear "Real American" on Raw some time in the next few weeks?

The band Hogan was in during the 70s was called Ruckus. I've seen a picture of them before, but couldn't find it online. Apparently he was also in a band called Koco: Also, this:

I think a Super 8 through history thread is in order.

7/26/87 in Toronto doesn't exist according to Cawthon. Here is what he has for that date: See that one James? The closest Toronto cards to that date were: and No Savage or Steamboat. Pretty weak cards actually.

Good thing I voted for myself.

Ugh, I was wrong. Swede is in the Battle Royal on disc 6.

I love the finished product on PTBN. Great job Brad! This was fun and I had a great time.
