Ricky Jackson

He was scheduled to wrestle Landel in Philly just before he died in 92

Buddy teamed with Snuka in Philly against Albano and Ray Stevens 11/25/82 and was shockingly good considering he was I believe 62 years old. It's on youtube, or was the last time I checked

Everyone should watch Bruno vs Graham from 8/1/77 MSG, a glorious bloodbath with Monsoon as ref. Maybe it will dispel some negative stereotypes about both men, for those unenlightened

Please do

Harts vs Killer Bees is the only thing close for me. Gotta be Strike Force vs Islanders

I understand being skeptical, I was myself when this project was announced considring the less satisfying aspects of the GWE. But the analysis on these pods, including the pod blasts, has been top notch. Really, a good archive of opinion that you won't find elsewhere

3/4 Titans reunion on the latest For Your Consideration, baby! http://placetobenation.com/for-your-consideration-8-the-clash-of-the-titans/

Hogan coming out to Eye of the Tiger is always awesome

Yeah it's an all-time classic NWA title match

Great match. Nothing mind blowing, but this is presumably the first of multiple encounters in the next year or so between them, so things will only get more epic. That said, I really liked this match. I thought it had a good flow with nothing wasted. The closing stretch was well done and the crowd was fully invested. No tricks, just an old fashioned "scientific match" with a clean as a sheet finish. The bump at the end was nasty and could've been disastrous. Instead, it added a dose of "real" to the match, the unplanned kind, and fortunately for everyone involved served to make things feel more epic and not tragic. Excited to see what these guys will do against each other in the future. ***1/2

I think they're just playing on the rumours out there and wouldn't read too much into it.

I have no opinion of the E and C show because I only caught a tiny bit of it, but I have to say I'm totally fine with Network belt-tightening in regards to original content as long as it means more uploads of cost-free old school footage

Are we sure this is from Jan 1, 1980? Hogan was working for WWF at that time and actually wrestled a TV taping in Allentown on that date. I think this may actually be from late 1981

Party like it's 1999!

Sounds cool. This is more interesting to me than ranking wrestlers actually

Vince, you old bastard, you've still got it

Great Khali saves Battleground!!! Hahahaha

Randy Orton reinventing himself as the King of gimmick matches nobody wants to see

Right, commentary is in Hindu. Never mind

Punjabi

Crap finish

Ok, we get it. Now stop bitching about it please

Great tag!

Going into this one pretty cold. I haven't seen anything from Smackdown since the women's MITB rematch, whenever that was. Looking at the card it should be a good show, with a few possible standout matches. Tye Dillinger vs. Aiden English (pre-show) Jinder Mahal vs. Randy Orton Punjabi Prison match The Usos vs. The New Day John Cena vs. Rusev Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. Natalya vs. Tamina vs. Lana Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Baron Corbin AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens Sami Zayn vs. Mike Kanellis
