    Brilliant

    1975-Fall 1982 main event scene in New York is probably my all-time favorite wrestling. Undercard is also strong at times, but not so much 75-78. Add in the crowds/atmosphere/commentary/promos, there is so much gold

    Not surprising, but his NY Times obit claims WWE was where his "career exploded" and basically implies that it was minor to major leagues professional advancement when he went there in 1985

    Probably the best ever, really. He excelled in every possible way that we measure greatness in wrestling, all over the world and for so many decades RIP

    It seems like there was a lot of ass kissing of Hogan by PWI in 94. The worst example being when instead of getting the traditional plaque for winning Wrestler of the Year he was given this giant ass trophy that I don't recall anyone else ever receiving

    This brings me back to how disappointed I was almost every year in the 90s when i bought the awards issue and saw Bret didn't win Wrestler of the Year. I guess maybe 94 was his best chance, but I remember being pissed he didn't even place in 97. Then Montreal happened and I didn't care anymore lol

    MSG vs Adonis is definitely an all-timer. I remember a Philly match between them being very good as well
  9. Ricky Jackson
    Yeah, that's an underrated great match. That 3 match series between Bob and Sarge in Philly is probably my fave from Backlund's reign. Haven't seen the 2nd match in years. The cage is a classic. Those two had great chemistry

    Legends' House 2.0

    Ricky Jackson replied to MLB's topic in WWE

    Billy Jack Haynes in a Legends House type situation would be the greatest thing ever put on TV, wrestling or otherwise

    He had also been temporarily fired in late 86, right as his big feud with Piper was heating up, so yeah, things must've been pretty bad
  12. Ricky Jackson
    Yeah, I haven't watched WWE since pre-pandemic and really still have no interest in watching anything they produce, but I've got to tip my hat to them for booking an angle with such impressive staying power, critical praise, and, to top it off, being responsible for turning things around business wise and delivering consistent big crowds and ratings

    I'm almost positive there was a thread about this years ago but I can't be bothered to find it Czarface is pretty much exclusively wrestling and superhero references in their songs

    I was confused earlier. I thought this week's shows were in Saskatchewan and next were in Alberta. But they are going AB-SK this week and then SK-AB next week, doubling back, which is kinda screwy
  15. Ricky Jackson
    It's Saskatchewan week for AEW! Wild

    Brian Pillman wrestled on exactly one AWA show, against Ric Flair in an NWA title match in May, 1990. To make this even more strange I believe this match came about because WCW borrowed the Destruction Crew for a few shows, to wrestle the Steiner's under masks as the Minnesota Wrecking Crew II, and this is what AWA received in return

    Didnt Jungle Boy start wrestling at a ridiculously young age?
  18. Ricky Jackson
    Not every match needs a million finishers and 2.9 kickouts. A nice contrast to Omega-Ospreay
  19. Ricky Jackson
    Perfect finish, even if it caught the crowd by surprise
  20. Ricky Jackson
    Blows my mind Sting is still doing this Jericho too I guess. First saw him live in Jan 92
  21. Ricky Jackson
    Yeah that was lame as hell
  22. Ricky Jackson
    Kenny Hogan
  23. Ricky Jackson
    Love it, like a 70s mag cover
  24. Ricky Jackson
    I'm here for the last few matches guys. First live wrestling since All Out 2021 I think

    Richard Land just tweeted about some previously lost/unknown WWF Cap Centre footage from 4/12/1980 that popped up recently. Nearly 20 minutes, featuring part of Pateta vs DeNucci and Santana/Putski vs Samoans, w. Gorilla on commentary. Really nice quality too
