PWO is hip after all!

Yes I guess Gulak vs Riddle was pretty awesome too

Drew Gulak vs Eric Bugenhagen from this week's NXT is my working MOTY

Episode 58 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-58 May 21, 1983 (WCCW 73) A red hot main event between Kevin Von Erich and Terry Gordy for the American title highlights an otherwise humdrum episode of WCCW. But as experienced podcasters, the boys know how to make this shit sound awesome... -Yatsu shows no respect to Montreal LEGEND Butcher Vachon -The never-ending, globe spanning WAR between Chris Adams and the Mongol continues, and nobody cares -Pete's favorite wrestler Johnny Mantell returns, but he's no Good Ol' Al -And best of all, no Bill Mercer this week!

It wasn't really intended as a criticism even if it reads as such. I'm a big NXT fan. It served its purpose. It was just express line NXT that's all

100 mph spotfest- o- rama. Basically a highlights video as a match

Sky Pirates are my new favorite thing in wrestling

Yeah, I've found that super annoying too

https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-57 Episode 57 May 14, 1983 (WCCW 73) The boys return to the Sportatorium for a fun show from the WCCW crew, featuring... -A thorough discussion about Jimmy Garvin as a performer in the 1980s -Chris Adams goes for tea with Bill Mercer, wrestles, and makes the save in two matches! -What the heck is Butcher Vachon doing here? -Kamala is God damn CANNIBAL and he thinks Jose Lothario is tasty -And a major angle between the Iceman and the Freebirds!

Hell yeah. That MSG show has been one of my ultimate Holy Grails for years. You never know these days...

I love both guys but Bryan vs Styles wasn't even the best match on a show that is still going on let alone since 2017

That was a super fun

Wow, what a great match

Damn, it sucks if Rhonda is done after Mania because she's so friggin great

Barf

Any surprise predictions? Is this whole Cena deal a work and they're going to try and do a reprise of 2008?

Stacked card. Stadium setting. My usual group watch isnt happening this year, so I'm watching at home with my wife present (not a wrestling fan), enjoying some good beer and food. Should be fun

Put DeNucci in finally

Really good show. Loved the women's match

They're going with he "injured" himself training for the Rumble, no?

Guess those promo skills are maybe as good as they're ever going to be, as it sounds like Mania is it for Rousey in WWE, and that has always been the plan since she signed, per Dave

They mix them up because Vince Sr co-promoted with Kohler in Chicago in the early 60s and there was talent overlap

She's basically still a rookie. With time, she'll be fine True, I dont watch Raw or even bother to track down videos of her promos, so i actually dont know HOW bad she has been

93 and 94 are nothing special, but still, they happened during a time when the big shows felt more important because there were only 5 of them (and KOTR was new) and the Rumble gimmick was well protected, so I think they have aged pretty well, as has the era in general. They meddled with the formula in 95 and that Rumble sucked, but by then the WWF had already lost its way and would only get worse. PPV was watered down by having one every month, title changes became more and more frequent, gimmicks were lamer, etc. Then things became dark and violent, and that was fun for a few years, but whatever. Anyway, point is early Rumbles are awesome
