Ricky Jackson

Ok, it's been 21 years since I've seen that match, so cut me some slack

Austin cost Hart the Rumble and then the WWF title on Raw against Sid in a cage. That pretty much escalated things enough

If Judy Bagwell's banned ass is out there somewhere lurking, fuck Lapsed Fan and fuck you. (Years old reference)

The Eighth Wonder of the World Cast: Andre the Giant HBO Doc Review https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/the-eighth-wonder-of-the-world-cast-andre-the-giant-hbo-doc-review Kelly, Pete and Johnny take a brief break from WCCW to review the Andre the Giant documentary recently broadcast on HBO. The boys discuss the doc in depth, their personal memories of Andre, and include additional historical information not found in the film. A good time was had by all so please enjoy this look at one of wrestling's greatest legends!

Golden Lovers vs Young Bucks was good but hardly great imo. That's the one for me

Hey, thanks for the plug. I should've created a thread here, but I thought this was more of an Easter egg or hidden track rather than an official show. Not sure how often these will drop. Basically whenever the mood arises

I've never once watched Asuka on TV or in person and thought "You know what? She's not really that over". It's not smoke and mirrors, she's over

Oh I'm sure it won't be a problem considering the material

I'm no fan of Mauro's commentary, believe me, but seeing him mark out like crazy while commentating is cool. Percy too https://twitter.com/WWE/status/984144841427664896?s=09

Preach on, brother

Episode 31 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-31 October 9, 1982 (WCCW 42) With Michael Hayes' arrival imminent, World Class bottoms out with a turd of a show. Don't get me wrong, the vignette chronicling Bill Mercer's complex relationship with Gary Hart/Mercer interviewing Hart and THE Checkmate at H & H Enterprises HQ is fascinating, must-watch stuff. It's just that the actual wrestling is turgid, featuring... -Brian Adidas working a "clopen" shift -Bugsy still refusing to wear men's sized shorts -David Von Erich perfecting the "David finish" World Cast: Nowhere to go but up!

I think they just booked a worked-shoot to work the smart fans. Postmodern 2018 pro wrestling

A Wrestlemania full of surprises and one classic match (Rousey tag). Charlotte vs Asuka was great too but I'm sad to see the streak end. I'm still a mark for shit like that

Cena vs Taker was basically the ultimate smoke and mirrors match. That's why it wasn't officially announced ahead of time. It wasn't supposed to be a "real" match, just a Wrestlemania moment, and better than Taker struggling through some long and sloppy match like last year

Ok, now it's the greatest Wrestlemania ever, forget the last three hours this clinched it

Best HHH match ever

Best match of the weekend

Randomly picked this match to honor Johnny V, and oh boy I'm glad I did. Where to begin? Well, Johnny Valiant takes an epic ass kicking from Bob, a shine that goes on for 14 MINUTES AND VALIANT DOESN'T REMOVE HIS RING JACKET THE WHOLE TIME! Next, the transition to Valiant on offense is Bob screwing up a hold and accidently knocking himself silly on the ropes. Yes, Valiant doesn't even initiate the transition. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Then we get a decent beatdown on Bob before the All American Boy rallies for the win. Great stooging heel performance by Valiant. RIP "Macho" (as it says on the back of his tights)

Update from the playlist I posted on page 1: Blassie vs Rikidozen from 1962 LA is awesome for those interested. Also, Bockwinkel and Whalen's post match interaction is gold

I kinda feel the same way, or at least I did as the show was going on and immediately after. I mean, it was obviously a great show with multiple great matches, yet I felt kinda underwhelmed after it was over. I've liked other Takeovers more for sure. Thinking about it today I really liked the show and feel more strongly about the matches. The Roddy turn didn't make any sense imo and the ladder and main suffered from excess, but that's the wrestling world we live in today. Maybe I'm burning out a bit on NXT

Oh Missy... Yep, totally love that poster. I remember it being in a copy of WCW magazine I had

Main card could be great, but after being burned two years in a row, I'm avoiding the pre-show this time. Instead, my pal Sean (Shrike02) and I are going to watch a playlist of old school stuff I've put together this morning before the main card starts. Feel free to join in https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV6RCTo_Cd0CxLuBAFyRpGlyK-7DE3oYg Last match is Backlund vs the late Johnny Valiant from The Spectrum

Great show as usual. What a run NXT has been on

Awesome squash match alert: Crusher Blackwell vs Frankie Williams with Vince at his best as well, also from 9/23/78

Good match alert: Larry Z and his wonderful moustache vs Stan Stasiak 9/23/78
