Missed the first hour or so. Having a few glasses of wine ("Johnny Goggles") and flipped on Raw with the New Day/tag team scene segment. That was fun. I'm intrigued by the six-man main event of Reigns/Usos vs Styles/Gallows/Anderson.

I think we are getting close to the time where the GWE forum should be made read only and everyone starts moving on with their lives and start new journeys. I'm willing to guide anyone through 70s WWWF

Personally, I think if you're a big enough wrestling fan to have stumbled on a site like this, you've probably watched enough wrestling in your life to be able to come up with a top 100 list. Maybe, like myself, you didn't participate in the "official" journey of the GWE, but I've been on a personal journey for 30 years, and nobody can tell me I don't know enough about wrestling to vote in a poll for the greatest ever

I love TNT as much as anyone but I don't think binge watching it is the way to go. Just watch one every once and a while to retain your sanity

For those who care, I watched Camp WWE and well, if you want to hear Vince swear a lot and see Flair having implied sex with bears, here you go

They had to improvise in the heat of the moment, you can't prepare for that

I think that is a good idea

http://placetobenation.com/tag-teams-back-again-episode-16-kelly-and-martys-top-25-tag-teams/ Celebrate the end of the GWE with another long-ass countdown show! Kelly and Marty go over their top 25 tag teams, with some crossover but also a lot of differences. This podcast is the last word on lists for 10 long years!

[1976-08-07-WWWF-MSG, NY] Bruno Sammartino vs Stan Hansen (Cage)
Ricky Jackson replied to peachchaos's topic in August 1976
I haven't seen this match in years but remember being a little underwhelmed by it due to the one sided nature. Love the April 76 match between the two of them where Bruno's neck is broken and he finishes the match, even blading and doing a fired up comeback- 4 replies

"The Unpredictable" Johnny Rodz (aka The Jobber Thread)
Ricky Jackson replied to Ricky Jackson's topic in The Microscope
Yeah, as much as I love Rodz, I've really only seen him shine in that SD Jones match from March 81 MSG. He's had some good moments, but nothing special. But his role wasn't really so much to put on an entertaining match as it was to make his opponent look good and report back to Vince Sr on a wrestlers potential. Milage varies as to whether he was good at the former -
Age isn't really the issue with WWWF guys like Strongbow and Fuji, everyone was old, and there is a decent amount of them on tape considering the time frame. If you can get past the barrier of "boring old wrestling" you'll find a lot of heated matches, sometimes attaining greatness like Strongbow vs Valentine in 79, and plenty of entertainment from Fuji in tags. There is a lot of crap though. I don't know how enjoyable it is if you're not fully immersed in the universe and love the characters and the time period
