I can't speak for everyone, but you should provide at least a basic description of what each episode is about if you expect someone to click on the ep

World Cast of the Champions V: WWE Extreme Rules 2013 (Seriously) https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-of-the-champions-v-wwe-extreme-rules-2013-seriously May 19, 2013 During the recent PWO pledge drive one man stepped up and donated, by far, more $ than anyone else. To show their appreciation to that man, one Shawn Emily, the boys agreed to review a show of his choosing. Shawn chose a show close to his heart, one he attended live in St. Louis. So the boys hop into the Delorean and set the date for 2013. Get ready, folks. Get ready to go EXTREME! Get ready for WWE Extreme Rules 2013!!!!!

I think right now it's a waiting game until the TV show starts to build up more interest and stimulate ticket sales. It's all well in good when they run a few major shows in a year, which makes each one must see. Once it becomes a weekly thing it's no longer an event and even the hardest of the hardcore won't keep coming out, or at least enough for constant sellouts, without something new to capture the publics attention. Still, I expect those shows to eventually sell out unless the TV completely fails to attract interest

Just lock this thread. It's going nowhere except for right vs left bs and is barely about wrestling

Another biased Canadian here, but the Victoria Pavilion in Calgary is a super-underrated historical wrestling venue imo. Built in 1919 and still standing, according to wrestlingdata it first held a show in 1931, last in 2013, and has hosted 1,309 shows in total. The home for about forty years of Stu Hart promoted/Stampede wrestling shows featuring a who's who of legendary performers, not to mention all the stars who passed through in the 30s and 40s pre-Stu

Oh man, I so want that story to be true

Episode 75 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-75 September 24, 1983 The boys review a strange, sweaty night in the Sportatorium, highlighted by... -A TIME LIMIT DRAW TO OPEN THE SHOW. HOW ORIGINAL -The John Mantell superpush continues unabated, with newcomer Coca Samoa(n) the latest victim -Terry Gordy and the dreaded ORIENTAL SPIKE -Look out, the ropes are slippery tonight! -And a main event more fitting for 1982, Kerry/Kevin vs Mr. Ebony/Mongol

Why wouldnt the Savoldi family be there? They were part of Vince Sr's inner circle just like Gorilla

Just watched ep 5 last night. It was definitely the high point of the season so far and one of the best eps in the run

Episode 74 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-74 September 17, 1983 Jam-packed show this week. First up, Pete and Johnny provide a quick breakdown of the Adrian Street doc that recently dropped on the Network. Then, the boys review the Sportatorium show, featuring more Mercer being Mercer, a dream match between Kerry vs Mr. Ebony, and a battle of the big boys between Brody and Gordy. And to top it off, they give a bonus review of Von Erichs vs Birds from the 9/5 Labor Day Star Wars! This show has it all, folks!

Around 1965, Bruno had the original WWWF belt stolen from his parked car as he ate in a restaurant

Yeah, that's pretty much what I assumed was going be the main event, although I agree establishing the world title in the main event slot is important, even in 2019

Haha, you found the thread I should've included Whipper Watson as a choice

Orange Cassidy was still the best thing of the night

Ladder match finished up pretty well I thought. Probably best match so far. Main needs to deliver big time

Orange Cassidy is still the best thing about this show

Love Orange Cassidy

Just watched the TNT special and I'm hyped. The overall presentation smokes WWE imo. It's like comparing the NFL to a poorly written comedy film about football. Getting together with friends to watch this on PPV. Should be really fun. Hoping we get bloodbath with Cody and Spears.

The only thing Orton was better at than Piper was shitting in Divas bags

Episode 73 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-73 September 10, 1983 The boys are finally back in the Sportatorium, and they review a rather mundane WCCW show. Yet, one not without its highlights... -Bill Mercer will now be carded for smokes and booze -JOHN Mantell with a MAN-sized victory -Kevin pays a young fan a visit, but were his motives pure? -The first chapter in the Adams vs Garvin rivalry -And Kerry vs Hayes in the main event; a matchup more overdone than Kevin vs Bill Irwin

Here's the All Star thread, Parv https://forums.prowrestlingonly.com/topic/41233-all-star-wrestling-on-the-network/ Let's get some 70s talk going again to counter the sad weekly WWE death march

I'm a little behind on the Gems because I was out of town for a few weeks, so I just finished the 4/19/85 PWUSA show. No love for Backlund vs Larry Z or the Birds vs Flyers/Tonga Kid? I thought those were really good matches. Bob v Larry was worked especially well, with Larry having to toss Bob over the top rope for a dq to save the title he was on the brink of losing. That's a much better use of the rule than the dumb babyface tossing the heel over. Sarge vs Kamala was good too, but basically just a bridge to the next match between them, which I think was a Boot Camp match in a cage. I really want to see that one, and hopefully the show surfaces, because I've really been digging the PWUSA shows and matches from the Meadowlands we've been getting

Episode 72 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-72-labor-day-star-warsharley-race-tribute September 5, 1983 Just when you thought the show had joined the podcast graveyard like so many others before it, the boys are back yet again, returning with a jam-packed, double-sized episode! First, from the famed collection of Pete Schirmacher, the boys review 2 and 7/8 matches from the Labor Day Star Wars show broadcast on Ft. Worth TV, including an awesome Country Whipping match between Kerry Von Erich and Michael Hayes. Then, better late than never, they pay tribute to all-time legend, Harley Race. AND, as a special bonus, Pete and Johnny break down JCP's Boogie Jam card from 1984 that recently dropped on the Network! World Cast: Good things come to those who wait

Oh, it's all going to change when it goes to 2 hrs on USA, I'm sure. It will be interesting to see what they believe needs to be changed to draw ratings
