  1. I agree with everyone who voted the "widow-maker" Barry Windham. Barry had it all.
  2. What about George Steele? Savage had to be peaking on his road to his first World Title.
  3. Anything '84-'94 WWF and '84 - 2000 NWA/WCW include me. I'm witty speak clearly and produced Audio before but main thing is I am a Wrestling Nut! I know this is an old thread but just wanted to offer my help.
  4. Has anybody got Silo Sam on their list? I was watching old PW News show with Solie & Pedicino and Silo Sam said he was 7'9"! He was horrible talker though. AWA Look him up and you will see the white El Giante!
  5. This was a crazy PPV Event for the simple reason that NWA/WCW as far as I know rarely came to Wisconsin and I don't think there was ever a WCW TV taping or PPV in Wisconsin before SuperBrawl II. Milwaukee is a great city to book these events for simple fact that you draw ppl from Chicago which is about an hour south and you draw ppl from Green Bay to Madison to Minnesota to Indiana and Milwaukee has rich wrestling history. I was about 10 I think when this show happened but didn't go because if you didn't pay attention to local flyers you would not know when they were in your town and my parents were cheap and divorced.
  6. My next door neighbor at the time was a HUGE FLAIR MARK he was allot older than most kids in the hood maybe about 15 or 16 and he came outside with his hair in a ponytail talking about Flair and school me on Flair and I remember asking him about the best match and he said Steamboat vs Savage WM3 and at this time my mom didn't have a VCR so I couldn't rent it until I was 11 years old which was a few years later. But I always remembered flair with that Ponytail and I thought it was so cool at the time.
  7. One piece of trivia is that Sheik is one of the only wrestlers to have a successful marriage with his wife in the business. Most wrestlers who bring their wives around end up in divorce court! - Anyway I was always facinated by the Sheik even though living north of Chicago we didn't get Detroit TV and by the time I was born WWF was taking over, but through the magazines he looked like a badass. Every Sunday when my mom, Grandma and Great-Aunt would go shopping I would be kneeling down in front of the news stand looking through the dozen of wrestling mags. It seemed every week there would be a new magazine that wasn't there the week prior.
  8. Of course Johnny has to be ignorant again. He said "Skandar Akbar was only Arab with Texas accent." Are you serious? Anyway Skandar Akbar translates to Alexander the Great! I think his real name was Joe Awad or something. And he is Lebanese-American. Ted Dibiase and Akbar were close. In WCCW he was scary. Was Brother Love working in Amarillo?
  9. WorldWide was awesome! They had dozens of TV's hanging above the crowd. And the ring was on a giant turn table! And my favorite thing about 1991 was The Diamond Studd, "good God!"
  10. I'm a mark for Hogan playing air-guitar to voodoo chile. Go watch it And see for yourself.
  11. ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" watch raw footage from Crockett Cup. Midnight Express. The entrance is bad ass. If u grew up in '80s u gotta love Warriors theme. Oh just remembered Hollywood Hogan's theme Voodo Chile - Hendrix
  12. Johnny Sorow is obsessed with Saad's hair. Johnny must have one of those '70s comb-overs. Wearing that Yamicka all those years probably didn't help. Anyway Saad was totally inline with the style of the time. The man perm was in the mustache was in & Johnny is jealous. Parv you really got to play Poker. You got so much info from Saad's split-second reaction. Great show besides Johnny's racist rant assuming every person with an Arabic name must be connected to Binladen.
  13. I just got back into wrestling again a bit before WM30 and the thing i can't stand is the whole "Money in the bank " gimmick. I'm a mark of the '83-'93 era and couldn't imagine that happening in a main event. Is there something I'm missing? Anyway I thought WM31 was good and hope personalities start to shine.
  14. Great show! The era you cover gives me that rush of euphoria! Who needs heroin! Don't forget handi-capped tag-teams back again! Hogan would be on superstars vs Bolsheviks. Anyway I'm looking forward to next show.
  15. After elementary school I would rush home to watch WCCW on ESPN and they would show old programs. At the time Kerry was huge star world wide. I had uncle in Beirut, Lebanon who was big Von Erich fan.
  16. Kerry had the best physique in wrestling. Look at the photos of him in the ring next to Ultimate Warrior and Kerry makes Warrior look like crap. (Survivor Series)
