    What does "Samhain" even mean? Never mind, I googled

    Time for a new thread, or I guess start using the old TNA one again Why?

    Similar fate for the Eagles, tough defense on the road. Also sad to see their 12-0 all-time record against the Jets finally have a blemish

    Plus the "vanilla" part only works if the guy can't talk

    The novelty of Hogan finally going heel + big WWF stars joining WCW + a cool gang vibe = the feeling wrestling was at last moving away from kid friendly, inoffensive presentation and was generating a buzz for the first time in forever. With all that in the air, and how fun it was to follow week to week, I didn't really think too much about Hogan's technical heel performance, other than from a Kayfabe perspective it was illogical he suddenly went from invincible Superman to cowardly wimp overnight simply because he was now a bad guy. But I guess it's not really suprising to find heel Hogan lacking because lot of the 90s boom stuff doesn't hold up watching in a vaccum

    I was definitely skeptical that this would be anything other than a shallow, surface level take on the story. Nope. This looks like it could be awesome

    Eh, the Eagles had multiple potentially great seasons derailed by QB injuries when I was younger (on the other hand, they won a SB with a backup QB). Anyway, we'll see who the better team is Dec 3

    Fly Eagles Fly

    I think he means the one that is, you know, not a democracy

    AFAIK, the MLG shows were never televised like MSG, Philly, Boston, etc. That is, in their entirety on a cable channel. The matches were shown on various different shows, including TNT, Georgia Championship Wrestling, All-American Wrestling, and (especially) Prime Time Wrestling, plus on numerous CHV tapes (the bigger matches). In Canada, matches were occasionally shown on Maple Leaf Wrestling (Superstars), but I believe that mostly ended in late-86. It wasn't until the 24/7 era that the MLG shows were available as full cards

    Rose really should've gone to Crockett when Piper put in the word and I believe there was an offer. Not sure exactly when this was, but I would guess maybe 1980-81 when he was at his peak in Portland and he didn't see the need to mess with a good thing

    Jay Strongbow and Greg Valentine had two in the summer of 79

    Hmm, I dont think I've seen the Oct Bob v Pat, only the Nov match that I remember being a letdown. Need to get around to that, it sounds great

    Yeah, 1982 Philly tag is surprisingly awesome. Rogers holds up his end for sure
  16. Ricky Jackson
    Not a work, just people with giant egos and too much money living Peter Pan lives in public. Of course it's totally fucked up
  17. Ricky Jackson
    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
  19. Ricky Jackson
    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
  23. Ricky Jackson
    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
  24. Ricky Jackson
    MSG vs Adonis is definitely an all-timer. I remember a Philly match between them being very good as well
  25. 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
