Backlund vs Patera from 05.19.80, probably. Excellent match though for whatever reason I prefer their January MSG match. Backlund vs Valentine 60 minute match from Feb '79 kicks all kinds of ass.

If it was in Kansas City, or anywhere in KS, Race was definitely the face.

Where is this printed program you speak of? I've only seen the PWI/Apter spread with that tag match listed, never a printed program from the night of the event, aside from maybe the cover. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I'd just like to see it.

When IRS debuted, I always assumed he'd eventually feud with Dibiase, and that would be the way WWF turned Dibiase face. IRS starts looking into Dibiase's finances, finds that Ted owes millions in taxes, loses everything and ends up on the streets. They could run vignettes of IRS hanging out in all of Dibiase's former seasonal residences, and so on. When they formed a team I thought "Alright, it's only a matter of time now!". Still bummed a little bit that it never happened.

I'm supposed to be airbrushing the spider veins and stretch marks out of Jennifer Hudson's legs right now for a certain weight-loss company that she represents. I'd rather be airbrushing singlets onto Bulldog Bob Brown.

Again, I'd have to go with Bulldog Bob Brown

My pick is Bulldog Bob Brown. All other options are shit.

I guess what bugs me about TR more than anything is he seemed "too new" at the time they were planning the monument. Like picking Cena. However, looking at the presidential roster more carefully, the only real contender for TR's spot, and the guy I would put in his place would be John Adams - more of a Arn Anderson or Bobby Eaton type. But then Rushmore would be comprised of the first three Presidents + Lincoln and wouldn't span the eras like it does with TR. Not much to pick from between Jefferson and Lincoln. No real contenders after Lincoln until TR. If the Crazy Horse Monument had been done first and they were picking guys for Rushmore in the 80's, suppose FDR and JFK would be in contention. Reagan could be on the ass-end of the sculpture, I suppose. As for the four for wrestling, I'd go Hogan, Flair, Hansen, Lawler.

Sorry to potentially derail this debate, and God knows I love the plugs for the set , but what is the deal with the dearth of Mid South footage prior to late 1981?

Fuck it. Sorry for attempting to contribute.

If we're talking about a true Mt Rushmore comparison, one of the four would have to be ludicrously out of place and not belong. The Teddy Roosevelt. So, we'd have something like Flair, Hogan, Lawler, and Ivan Putski.

I'd write propaganda for Kim Jong Un if it paid good enough. Fuck principles. And anyone that didn't like it could line up and kiss my ass.

He had a fairly heated feud with Harley Race. They had a fun/ridiculous brawl all over the building at the 1987 Slammys. There was a Duggan-Andre angle immediately following WrestleMania IV that led to a B or C-show Main Event run. Duggan beat Haku for the crown in 1989, then dropped it to Savage. There are more. I guess he was pushed a good bit for a while. By 1991 at the latest, he didn't seem to have much going on, but was still super-over, more or less.

No argument here. Duggan was over in Wichita to a stunning degree. There must have been 5000 fans with those foam 2 X 4's at a house show in June 1990. As recently as last year, Duggan was a special attraction at an independent league baseball game here in town. Average attendance for regular games was/is around 3000. The Duggan appearance drew 7500, and he was cheered like a rock star.

Ugh, my stomach turned a couple more times reading this. That makes perfect sense, just have never thought of that before. He's been convicted of similar acts before, far from mere accusation.

Definitely
