Ricky Jackson

Outside of the hardest of the hardcores, Bret has been pushed as one the greatest wrestlers ever for at least 20 years, so even at a place like PWO, I don't think it's that surprising that he's going to end up where he does. Does his career match up to a lot of the others in the top 100 based solely on in-ring, consistency, and longevity? No it doesn't, but it seems like only a relatively small percentage of voters are basing their lists entirely on those criteria

It just struck me earlier when I was listening to part 4 that he sounds like Edward Norton

I believe it was made into two episodes, Titans 30 and 31. 31 is all about the Cobra Clutch Challenge and by the end Johnny submitted to the Magarita Challenge

No Way Jose should provide a lot of fun moments based on his debut

Add my number 1 Randy Savage and my team could go back in time and end WW 2 in 1939

My high vote Survivor Series team is Mr. Wrestling II, Dusty Rhodes, Bruno Sammartino and Sgt. Slaughter. That's a pretty fucking awesone team

Haha...Zenk did have the better hair

Not so easy to keep these podcast things short, is it? ☺

Plus one more for good measure, featuring Roddy Piper! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htQA9UvB304

Ding ding ding! Best post of the GWE project! Let's celebrate the greatness of some of the Greatest Wrestlers Ever! Dec 86 and Jan 87 MSG

Oh calm down El P

You're just flat out creating revisionist history now

Awesome. That's a pretty deep and varied collection of stuff

Come on El P, you can badmouth him for a lot of things, but saying Hogan was a "terrible babyface" is like saying Charlie Chaplin was a terrible comedian. Although that may be a whacky French belief, I don't know.

The teams the Roadies lost the straps (AWA/NWA/WWF) to were all super unimpressive at the time, although at least DiBiase and Rotundo became a permanent, long-term team

Hogan vs Kamala from Dec 86 and Jan 87 MSG are both very good. Also a Dec 86 (I believe) match between the two in Boston. Hogan vs Savage in WWF was always fun. Just saw one from Oct 85 in Toronto last month that is awesome Hogan vs Terry Funk from SNME Jan 86 I linked today in another thread is a blast Basically you can't go wrong with most of Hogan's big matches from about 82-91 IMO

Watch more WWWF and vote for Bruno

I would've bet my house that I would be the high voter

And for those perhaps a little overwhelmed by the recent trend of epic, prog-podcasts, At the Garden promises to be your lean, three-chord punk band alternative. No episodes longer than 45 minutes!

Yeah kind of a dumb question on my part. So what was the criteria for your ballot? My criteria was a mix of charisma, memorable matches, ability to get heat, strength of angles, star power, promo skills, historical importance and transcendence...although don't expect much consistency from my rankings, I only put about 4 hours of thought into it, if that

The Shea stadium match is really good. YOU ARE WEIRD, JERRY The real must see match between Hogan and Andre from that era is 3/21/81 from Philly. All the others are pretty nondescript to me

Yes of course it did, otherwise I would've voted Ultimate Warrior number 1 or something

One thing I've learned is that Ricky Jackson didn't base his list on in ring work. You're right I didn't

Let me guess, Piper is next
