Weird request but does anyone have a March 1990 PWI magazine, the one with the year-end awards for 1989? I just need a page or two scanned. PM me if you are able to help. Thanks

Oh, man, I forgot about "This is Awesome" chant. Number 1 pet peeve with 1,000 bullets.

No one who watched Finlay's sell would say that!

One more: dudes flipping on enziguris. Fit Finlay demonstrates the proper way to sell this move: https://twitter.com/DeepCutsWCW/status/1397963363326570503

I thought this worth mentioning here: I could read @KB8 "[insert wrestler name] matches you should watch" for hours. They make for great "cheat sheets" and reviews for wrestlers, whether you're participating in the GWE poll or not. Thanks for them!

When a wrestler kicks out of a pin and the other wrestler sits there, mouth agape and eyes wide while the camera zooms in on his face. It seems like something that should selectively be done during wars not during your standard TV match.

Also gives Pillman an easy path to eventually turning face when Vince inevitably stops trusting or turns on him.

Thanks for this. Sometimes I get confused when I see "Houston Wrestling" as a match descriptor when it's Mid-South wrestlers in matches booked by Mid-South bookers and shown (in some cases) on Mid-South television programs.

This is more of a "question that doesn't warrant a thread" but I've seen several matches referred to as "Houston" matches when they look to be Mid-South matches on Mid-South cards, only in Houston, as opposed to NOLA or Oklahoma. Did Watts co-promote with Boesch? Or was there an actual Houston organization? And where does Southwest fit into all of this? Did they have the same type of arrangement with Boesch as Watts did? Thanks

How much Georgia (Omni) stuff is actually out there in full? My impression is that there wasn't enough to make an 80s set for it even if that project had continued. IIRC, Florida was in the same boat, although with a little bit more available.

Asheville is liberal now but I'm not sure about 25 years ago. Having lived in the area my whole life I'm not sure which liberal cities are being referred to. Maybe Boone.

Good to see you "back," Loss. I always enjoy reading your thoughts. Do you plan to share the "results" of your unboxing? Not looking for yearbooks or anything like that, but maybe something along the line of essential matches, angles, promos, etc. for a particular year? I think there is enough stuff available out there that we could piece together our own watch lists from that. I'm always looking to deep dive with the 80s.

Are you still planning on doing write ups Sleeze or did this take their place? I'm old-fashioned! Or it may be my ADD not letting me sit through podcasts, even when it's about things I love.

Haven't said it before but I love reading your match reviews and blog posts.

So is the March 1986 Garvin/Flair cage match that we have available on handheld from Greensboro on the 29th, Atlanta on the 30th, or both? I'm just trying to get dates right in my notes.

Tentative top 5: Flair vs Steamboat, 2/3 falls Final Conflict tag MX vs Fantastics, Clash I MX vs Southern Boys Enforcers vs Steamboat and Rhodes, Clash

I'm drawing a line on co-promoted events: When Worlds Collide has always been more of a lucha card and all of the WCW/NJPW cards were more puro in style. I won't be voting for them because I don't think they fit neatly into the Crockett/WCW criteria. Others may disagree but that's how I'm approaching it.

So, I'm assuming this is Mid-Atlantic >>> Jim Crockett Promotions >>> WCW matches only? I saw a Georgia match on the list, so I was just curious.
