  1. Sorry to go off on a mild tangent, but here goes ... don't know about the Blob, but Spider-Man often took on huge guys much stronger than he was (Rhino, Ox, Juggernaut) by using the most likely little man vs big man strategy, what I call the Bugs Bunny defense : using speed, agility and cleverness to dodge around and tire out the bigger man until he gets mad enough to make a fatal mistake, then capitalize on it. And even when he beat the Juggernaut, it took a lucky break and he took an horrific beating doing it.
  2. Although this particular match is not on it, which I would figure is because it had not been unearthed at the time that comp was made, given how incredibly thorough it is.
  3. And my first nominees would be Dick Murdoch and Buddy Rose.
  4. I am appalled that I did not catch that one before you did.
  5. Normally, yes, but is seemed to come out consistently whenever he said the Narcissus/Narcissist . It made me think of Wallace Shawn trying to say his own name.
  6. I know I am digging this one up, but ... I have been listening to old podcasts at work, and coincidentally was listening to this one at the same time in my watching rotation I am watching the keith_h Steiners comp and watched for the first time the 1991 WarGames. I was looking for it and did catch the "Are you ready?" "Yeah!" "Then let's go!" exchange between Sid and Rick Steiner before Rick reverses the whip to send Sid into a Scott Steiner clothesline that Rob N references in the podcast. Officially the first time I have caught somebody audibly calling a spot in a match.
  7. Has there been a Funk show? That might be a way to kick out of the doldrums.
  8. Add to this the fact that they gave the name Narcissus/Narcissist to a guy with a manager with a consistent and audible lisp.
  9. Also, any way the old Death Of WCW shows could be uploaded on the new servers?
  10. Bingo! "Where are you going, Johnny?"
  11. Nice to know I was not the only one who did that.
  12. Why is it I get the feeling the 1989 set will be 60 discs? Just an epic year all round.

  15. Gotta say, I am particularly looking forward to the 2002-2004 period for the yearbooks ... they might well have been the wrestling dark ages, but they are something of a lost era for me, as due to employment issues I was not buying any tapes/DVDs.
  16. And rightfully so, Mike Furnas was dreadful.
  17. More likely Springer, it's not like you can imagine Russo getting ideas from watching a wrestling show.
  18. I do recall when he was on Off The Record, the host referred to him as the first black WWF (at the time) champion, Rock replied he preferred to be referred to as the first WWE champion "of colour" , as calling him black was ignoring his Samoan heritage.
  19. Actually, by that definition, Rock is Canadian.

  21. GAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! You people are going to bankrupt me!
  22. What are the odds of the Nikita Koloff vs Mr. Hughes miracle match mentioned on the latest Good Will Wrestling podcast making the set? Or is it too B-Sides?
  23. Oh, sweet Jesus, yes. I second this nomination.

  25. I definitely recommend the Shawn Michaels promo from the royal Rumble itself, this was the moment that really sold me on the Shawn Michaels character.
