Ricky Jackson

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

People clearly hate wrestling around here

3 part was fun too, can't wait until you get into the serious picks

Not to be flippant but I'm curious as to what picture will accompany his reveal

Well yes, his website is always of great value, but the reference I use most is Scott Teal's History of Professional Wrestling #3: Madison Square Garden, from 1999. Cawthon's site (and book too I think) only contains post-1962 results, whereas Teal's goes back all the way to the original MSG in 1880

That's why I voted for him

Since I have something in the works I want to hype and didn't want to start a thread for it just yet, or tack it onto some random podcast thread, I thought I'd create a general PWO-PTBN hype thread for any network personality who wants to advertise any upcoming pods for whatever reason. My upcoming project, which was alluded to in the Mystery Titans Theatre thread today, is an ambitious attempt at a solo podcast. I've long been fascinated by the history of wrestling at Madison Square Garden, and instead of shoehorning it into an episode of Titans of Wrestling (returning soonish, we promise!), it recently dawned on me to just go for it and do a solo history podcast on the subject. Anyway, more will be revealed shortly, but here is a trailer video for it I put together yesterday.
