    Coliseum Videos to drop on February 5. No word on how many or which ones.

    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5b0bzc dawho's assignment is the extremely divisive Hashimoto vs. Ogawa Dome match from October '99.

    I think he was also going to feud with Razor and put him over as well (yes, even in early '93 it seems like they saw a future in Razor as a babyface).

    Hopefully they drop at a later time. I remember when the '88-'89 episodes of WCW dropped, the first thing I sought out was the Original Midnight Express debut, only to find that episode skipped. It did show up afterward.

    How much experience did Jordan and Gable have pre-NXT?

    What makes '80s Worldwide and Pro for me are the absolutely insane crowds. Even something like Black Bart vs. Sam Houston may as well be Armageddon.

    While we're speculating wildly...

    I'm looking for results and matches involving non-regular job guys, since we have to presume George South or Rocky King wouldn't be dumb enough to try that. The 6/29/85 TBS show has a guy named "Roy George" (surely that name was a rib in 1985) in against Ole and Arn and it doesn't look 100% cooperative at times. He does seem to try to resist certain moves and Ole rides him pretty hard at one point, though he doesn't quite brutalize him as much as the stories go. He doesn't really seem to visually submit to the armbar at the end either, they just call for the bell.

    southofheavy's assignment: Magnum T.A. defending the U.S. title against Ole Anderson from the 12/28/85 episode of World Championship Wrestling.

    It's not, but as befitting of its place near the Mason-Dixon Line, it was a huge market for JCP and WCW. I suspect the SuperBrawl audience like most WCW Baltimore audiences had more in common with southern crowds than Northeast crowds.

    I'm a little behind on wrestling-viewing time but will make sure I get both of my assigned matches in before the end of the week. Capital resolved to get into high-end WOS, among other things, for 2018. It doesn't get much more high-end than Clive Myers vs. Steve Grey from 1975. It's in three parts:

    Looking forward to it. My assignment for you is Wyatt Family vs. the Shield from Elimination Chamber '14. This is one of those matches you should probably recommend to your father.

    Jericho was on his way to turning babyface already, and this feels like a pretty desperate way to undo that. I would say that they should have done something like this in the ring to have more effect, but that would probably just get the crowd on Jericho's side even more.

    It's like they wanted to do another bar fight skit but couldn't rent out a bar in Detroit.
  18. PeteF3
    Yeah, no way do they run segments like these today. There'd be boycotts, talk about "disrespect," Blue Lives Mattering...okay, I'll shut up.
  19. PeteF3
    Crowd is actually into the action, despite the nonsensical Meng run-in, but let's cut away to see a constipated (??--Ex-Lax doesn't work that way) Jim Duggan.

    This would be hilarious for all the wrong reasons if it wasn't so sad and pathetic--not enough quality control to tell the guys to maybe not do buckle spots in the corner with the pole. The crowd is actually into the action, but Russo's too much of a racist blind fuckhead to actually notice that so let's focus on him settling stupid personal grudges at the announcer's desk instead. Schiavone's gibbering over everything Oklahoma says is an easy way to undo anything out of his mouth actually coming across as funny. "Thinking that SHIT like THIS is going to bring in the viewers and put WCW back on top to stay, make everybody money...I mean, they can't actually BELIEVE this. Hell, at this point I'm ready to believe that they KNOW their asses are gone in a month so they might as well get in every cheap shot they can while they have the keys to the kingdom." --CRZ, raising a very valid point.

    Nash comes out in a mask and I need the announcers to clue me in on who he's supposed to look like, because I can't tell. Nash makes no attempt to actually sound like Sid and this is unbelievably toothless--there are things you can make fun of Sid over, but all Nash does is say that Sid is dumb and talks about ruling the world. Russo is obsessed with "shooting," but when he has the chance to hit home with some inside-baseball (inside-softball?) remarks in a promo directed at Sid, he's inexplicably backing off. Hall guffaws over Sid's blown line, and why not?

    Heatless overbooked clusterfuck of a finish. Not only do they welch on Austin being there, they welch on Vince being the guest referee (except for the last ten seconds of the match). Storyline-wise, it makes no sense for Shane to give Big Show this spot and not Test. And even booking-wise, Test was probably in a better spot on the card.
  23. PeteF3
    The finish is set up by Kat distracting the referee and Chyna low-blowing Jericho...I mean, it's almost like they were consciously booking this for the crowd to take Jericho's side. I never saw RSPW melt down as much as it did over the result of this match. And why not--19 years later it still stinks.
  24. PeteF3
    Assuming that was a stunt man taking the bump, this is pretty slickly done with no camera cuts. Austin looks pretty beaten-up and gimpy just chasing HHH, so it clearly looks like he needs to be out for awhile.

    I think this might have actually had more impact ("I did the right thing, Tommy, why'd you led the drunk beat me up? ... I did the right thing, Mommy, why'd you let the drunk beat me up?") if Raven didn't feel the need to spell it out for us first.
