Would love to see the Heenan match too because it was the Brain's last match. It was from Nassau Coliseum but I don't think it was taped

I think 1992

We watched the Bruno match for the Pro Wrestling Super Show last year. 2 part Fuji spotlight http://placetobenation.com/pro-wrestling-super-show-49-the-wrestler-mr-fuji/ http://placetobenation.com/pro-wrestling-super-show-50-mr-fuji-the-manager/

He's not a hall of famer but he did have a pretty solid career as a wrestler. From the late 60s until around 1982 he was a high midcarder/main eventer in Portland, New York, San Francisco, LA, and the South. A decade off and on as a WWF tag champ and a year long reign with the US title in San Fran in 76-77 among other accomplishments

Loved Fuji. Always brought a smile to my face

We're going to be recording on Tuesday, so if you haven't voted yet please do!

Watch this Angels vs Girls match and let us know what you think. We both loved it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-T2uq8W6LY&list=PLV6RCTo_Cd0DxIZcvvV8-Je015bl3aKxw&index=2

http://placetobenation.com/tag-teams-back-again-episode-19-sayonara/ Kelly and Marty continue their journey through 1988 WWF, with stops at Wrestlemania IV, MSG, Boston Garden and the Spectrum, along the way taking time to bid adieu to some of their favorite tag teams. Bonus mini Summerslam/NXT review at the beginning! (Desperate attempt at relevancy) Tonight we examine: Jumping Bomb Angels vs Glamour Girls 3/5 Boston Bulldogs/Koko B. Ware vs Islanders/Heenan 3/27 Wrestlemania IV Strike Force vs Demolition 3/27 Wrestlemania IV Strike Force vs Demolition 4/25 MSG Bullldogs/Ware vs "Islanders"/Heenan 5/21 Spectrum Demolition vs Strike Force 6/1 Oakland Strike Force/Ultimate Warrior vs Demolition/Mr. Fuji 6/4 Boston

I sure as hell hope they would turn on it

My GWE list, and my philosophy on wrestling in general, reflects the belief that Great Matches are only one piece of what makes a wrestler and wrestling great

What is that supposed to lead to exactly?

That's fucking pro wrestling right there

http://placetobenation.com/titans-of-wrestling-66-the-stampede-territory-part-3/ Dan Kroffat against Tor Kamata in perhaps the first ever ladder match, circa 1972 Kelly and Travis continue their tribute to Stampede Wrestling, this time looking at various different names integral to the promotion's success from the 50s through the 80s. Ski Hi Lee, Dave Ruhl, Sweet Daddy Siki, and Dan Kroffat are all given thorough examination. The focus for the last 1/4 of the show turns to the Dynamite Kid and his legacy in Calgary and elsewhere, including reviews of some of his choice Stampede action. This is your one stop location for all things Stampede Wrestling folks! *Apologies for the quality of Kelly's audio Ski Hi Lee Dave Ruhl Sweet Daddy Siki

Yeah I only remember tons of praise for Jericho at the time

The show was too long, mostly heatless outside of Cena vs Styles and nothing really grabbed me like Takeover or Battleground from last month

Going back to Verne and expanding to California, he made a move in the late 60s to try and secure LA, he even ran shows at the Great Western Forum, but LaBelle rejoined the NWA and ran loaded shows in opposition. Then in the early 80s, Verne moved into SF after Shire folded, but didn't find much success I believe

Having just watched it I realize why it hasn't been pimped. Pretty by-the-numbers stuff. Interesting that the Toronto match the next day was so different

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4hDFIp3s2Y Has anyone seen the Savage vs Steamboat match from this show that was just uploaded? I think their epic Toronto match was the next day. Can't say I recall anyone ever talking about this one

I don't even watch Raw or Smackdown but I keep creating these threads for some reason... Go home Raw before Summerslam

Not saying I agree with it, but damn that last part was beautiful Parv

The decline of MSG attendance in the 60s was the result of multiple factors, but having no TV/poor timeslots were the main ones No contemporary commentary for the Morales title win AFAIK. There is 8mm footage of Bruno vs Ivan 1/18/71 with Rocky Raymond commentary on youtube

I think this counts as "modern" since it's on Youtube. Anyway, I spent the morning putting together these playlists for your convenience. With the explosion of 70-80s WWF house shows on Youtube (thanks to landy1987, the Wrestling Collector, and some others) I thought I would organize them by arena and in chronological order. I've started with the Big 3--MSG, Spectrum and Boston Garden. I'll add more arena playlists later. Enjoy while it lasts. WWF MSG WWF Spectrum WWF Boston Garden

Cool. Good to know. Once again thanks for all this footage, it's so great

http://placetobenation.com/titans-of-wrestling-65-wwf-at-philadelphia-spectrum-october-16-1982/ They may not be as youthful and prolific as they were back in 2014, but the Titans have returned once again, this time to say farewell to the marvelous commentary of that great individual, Kal Rudman! On the docket: Pedro Morales vs Superstar Graham Bob Backlund vs Buddy Rose Chief Jay Strongbow vs Mr. Saito Pat Patterson vs Mr. Fuji Also on the show: -Parv hasn't regained his wrestling smile, but he loves him some Pat Patterson vs Mr. Fuji, much to the disdain of Pete -Conspiracy theories on why Kal Rudman was replaced as a commentator -Repo Man: Greatest Gimmick Ever??? -Plus Titans of Wrestling turns 3 years old! (about 87 in human years)

Yes it is, complete with bee design trunks
