Answering my own question on cagematch, looks like they were in a couple of 8 man tags and one more tag match in 88. 1 11.09.1988 Ricky Morton & Sting defeat Agent Steel & Bob Emory (2:03) NWA World Wide Wrestling - TV-Show @ Cumberland County Memorial Arena in Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA 2 29.08.1988 The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers), Ricky Morton & Sting defeat Ivan Koloff, Luke Williams, Rip Morgan & The Russian Assassin #1 NWA - Event @ Municipal Auditorium in Greenville, South Carolina, USA 3 20.08.1988 Brad Armstrong, Ricky Morton, Steve Williams & Sting defeat The Four Horsemen(Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard), Al Perez & Larry Zbyszko NWA - Event @ Civic Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Watching Ricky Morton Sting vs Curtis Thompson John Savage. 1987/12/19, Nwa World Championship Wrestling. I never knew Sting and Ricky Morton teamed up. Was it just a one time thing or did they have any more matches?

Was listening to Jim Cornette’s podcast and he talked about some wrestling DVD’s Joe Dombrowski sent him of territory footage not owned by WWE. Not sure if there is anything new here but was still thinking about picking them up. There is a Kansas City set and a Memphis set so far. https://www.joe-dombrowski.com/news/the-territories-memphis-now-available-2nd-installment-in-series-takes-you-to-the-mid-south-coliseum/ https://www.joe-dombrowski.com/news/the-territories-new-full-length-collectors-series-first-installment-send-you-to-kansas-city/

I watch Lunacy from time to time, mostly because of why I like movies that are so bad they’re good. So Russo in a promotion that I don’t really care about being good is actually ok with me and if anything gives me more of what I am looking for from it.

Vince Russo just showed up on the latest episode of Juggalo Championship Wrestling Lunacy

Not a fan of hot shotting the world heavyweight title. Since Wrestlemania it’s went from Gunther to Jay back to Gunther to Punk and now to Rollins. 4 different champions and title changes in four months.

Scrolling through YouTube and came across this video. Hopefully they can work something out. https://youtu.be/6FBPRC8eb80?si=4v1s42X-ICaefrqN

It was a fun show. Dropped out before the Battle Riot match to watch Duke collapse against Houston, so I’m glad I had it to come back to and help me forget about that disappointment. Barbaro Cavanario quickly became a wrestler I want to check out more of their stuff. I was entertained. Some surprise entrants, a few guys I hadn’t seen for a while, a lot of lower tier luchadores, but not a bad show for free.

Opener was ok. Not great, not terrible. Old guys got their stuff in. Janai Kai vs. HIMAWARI up next.

Anyone watching? Show just started. Six Man Tag Team Match Atlantis, Atlantis Jr. & Star Jr. vs. Barbaro Cavernario, Magnus & Ultimo Guerrero

I keep seeing people say WWE is at an all time hot period and honestly just wondering what that is based on. I know it’s not tv ratings. It’s not Star power. It’s not mainstream recognition. Live attendance? Money? (Adjusted for inflation?) just as a fan there’s not much I’m interested in. It’s not bad but at least to me it doesn’t feel like an all time period. what am I missing?

Checking out MLW One Shot out of curiosity, tried a few MLW shows before but never found anything that kept my interest for very long. We’ll see if there’s anything good tonight.

You’d think so but we live in an age where the rich and powerful have 9 lives.

Vince just sold 5.3 million shares of TKO stock for $411,950,000 dollars. That’s only 1/4 of the stock he owns. I’m sure there is some type of noncompete agreement in place, and I’m definitely not saying he should with all the legal and moral issues. But the question still crossed my mind.

TNA/Impact is partnering with Endeavor for a TNA+ streaming service. Interesting news.
