  1. Footage from the Zembo Mosque?
  2. I don't mean heat wise, but perception wise going into the show
  3. Sabu vs Taz was kinda the "real" main event, similar to a Hogan vs Rock situation. They had been building that match for well over a year
  4. They're still in Toronto. That chant, or Bret Hart honestly, doesn't mean shit outside of Canada in 2016
  5. http://placetobenation.com/titans-of-wrestling-73-the-stampede-territory-part-7-109-1016-1987-tv/ Kelly and Travis are joined by their old friend Rick Lee, a DJ at Jack FM in Vancouver (who graciously allowed the show to be recorded from his studio at the station), to reminisce about their days as young wrestling fans in Calgary. At the same time, the boys examine two TV shows from October 1987, during one of the last hot periods for the territory Discussion includes -A look at the legendary heel stable The Karachi Vice -Heaps of praise for Brian Pillman and Owen Hart...and Hiro Hase! -Jim Davies as an extremely poor substitute for Ed Whalen -Makhan Singh's hatred for the state of Montana -And much, much more!
  6. So very sad and horrible. RIP
  7. At least you're getting this now. Vancouver has been shut out since 1998, Calgary since 97
  8. There was no ban
  9. That's a good idea, and we actually discussed this on the show last night. Marty and I will put a top 20 or so together soon

  11. http://placetobenation.com/tag-teams-back-again-episode-22-love-and-rockers/ Sick of all the talk about politics and doom and gloom in 2016?

  12. Honestly I think the ship has sailed on them uploading more Stampede footage any time soon, but I hope I'm wrong
  13. http://placetobenation.com/titans-of-wrestling-72-the-stampede-territory-part-6-622-727-1979-tv/ Kelly and Travis bid a bittersweet farewell to the 1970s as they examine the final two episodes pulled from the WWE Network. Highlights include: -The wonderful mess that is Duke Savage -Stu Hart lacing up the boots to kick some ass one more time -Yet more awesomeness from Big Daddy Ritter, Dynamite Kid and John Foley -Awkward head shavings, a ladder match, more thoughts on Ed Whalen, and much, much more! Once again here is the link to the Stampede footage. Would love to hear peoples thoughts about it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV6RCTo_Cd0DBHLku6tpAj-ypzT3GFUj3
  14. The truth is that Backlund had been on top for almost five years and the fans were clearly tired of him by at least as early as the summer of 82, and there was no need for conspiracies to replace him. Snuka's arrival as the hot new star played a part in Bob losing favor with the fans. In a way it's comparable to Austin and Hart in 96/97, except Bob declined the heel turn
  15. I've floated the idea of doing 77-78, Superstar as champ and Bob's first year on top. 75-76 is pretty much off the table
  16. I've always maintained that the end is the towel being tossed in for Bob, which has a nice symbolism to it
  17. If only Brian Last and Jim Cornette hadn't just done this on the 6:05podcast about six weeks ago... Who?
  18. Well this will probably be the unfiltered, CWC version of the cruiserweights, so it will likely be pretty good
  19. Good points. I would say that I think "getting yourself over" in the sense Parv meant it is more directed at those who are constantly bragging and hyping how great they are throughout a given show, and not just about being charismatic and engaging.
  20. Our own Marty Sleeze reporting live says this is false
  21. Do you have a link for Fuji vs Strongbow? I poked around youtube briefly but it was late. I've seen you talk about it before but haven't watched it. Happy to do so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrf8-b3KdGY&list=PLV6RCTo_Cd0BXlaewfw9iR2lIqGUQqfdl&index=1 It's the second to last match on this card, the first one ever televised from MSG
