Speaking of bad hair/toupee, what the fuck is going on with Rocca?

Yeah, that's probably it For those interested in such things, 11/12/77 features a very early appearance of the legendary jobber team Johnny Rodz and Jose Estrada (the future Medicos in Puerto Rico). Wrestlingdata actually doesn't have an earlier date for them teaming together

Does anyone know what Rocca always calls Vince? Sounds like he is saying "General"

Johnny Rodz vs Frank Williams from 3/20/76 is like some kind of jobber dream match

BAD COMPANY

Episode 26 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-26 September 4, 1982 ((WCCW 37) JAY SALDI LIVES!!! (And Johnny Sorrow is pissed off) Last week we pretty much said goodbye to everyone's favorite back-up Tight End, but he's back, and he's got a lot to say about wrestlers from other territories and internationally! Meet Jumbo "Tsnuka", Bob "Blacklund", and "Rodney" Piper, some of the biggest stars in the world! Also on the show... -Bugsy "Mr. USA" (???) McGraw and a returning David Von Erich -Good Ol' Al bringing his usual ** game (or at least Kelly thinks so) -Perhaps the worst wrestling music video ever: "The Many Faces of the Great Kabuki" -A hopelessly mundane main event between King Kong Bundy/Bill Irwin and Brian Adidas/Sal Alavarez World Cast: Our hosts have been reviewing several decades old mediocre wrestling since 2013! *Be sure to keep the pod playing after the closing theme for a little bonus*

Glad to see people enjoying the All Star drop. As a long time fan of this era, I never thought I would see the day when PWO would go gaga over 70s WWWF. And this is just the "B" show stuff!

Yeah, loved that main event tag from the lone 75 show. I watched three episodes yesterday, and I forgot how good some of the matches on the TV could be. Since they had less time to work with, most of the non-squash matches are often worked at a much faster pace than a lot of long, plodding undercard matches from MSG and the Spectrum from the same time featuring the same talent. Even a bout between two guys lost to time like Frank Monte and Francisco Flores from the same 75 show is worthwhile. Rodz vs SD Jones from 11/4/78 is also good

I'm not sure how much of it is on this footage. The turn angle happened on Championship Wrestling, although they may have replayed it on All Star. Not sure how many of the awesome promos are here either. All the big matches happened at MSG, Spectrum and Shea of course

Cappetta was an easy target because of his nerdy demeanor. Back in the early 90s me and my friends used to razz the announcer for our local promotion mostly because he was nerdy, which of course is hilarious because we were the dorks going to wrestling shows when it was pretty uncool

Thanks dude

5/17/80 ep includes the legendary Bob Backlund vs El Olympico "exhibition match" we reviewed on Titans years ago. Everyone needs to see this

Sean suggested a thread so here you go. Drop day is Monday. Let's talk some WWWF!

"Tonight's final bout is for the Intercontinental heavyweight championship, scheduled for one fall or to curfew"

That is indeed great

I think with all the potential benefits of network exposure they would find a way to make it work as a two hour show. (I guess I'm totally out of touch, because this is the first I've seen anyone actually say three hours is ideal)

This interests me too. A lot of chatter about WWE on Fox in 2019 lately. This obviously would be huge if it were to happen. Any thoughts from those out there with more insight than myself on TV dealings and such? The future of WWE fascinates me, either with something like this happening or it being bought by a major conglomerate, or both

😆

Just binged the first round. Great stuff. Braun and Alexa are a perfect fit

Who wants to play Parv?

Legit LOL when Mauro wished Gargano "the best of luck in his future endeavours"
