So, join us on Jeff’s journey to learn all about pro wrestling, get sidetracked with us on many tangents and have a bunch of laughs along the way! http://placetobenation.com/jeff-learns-wrestling-12-the-slammys-hogan-vs-andre-ii/

Appreciate you reading them. At the end of the day, this is an extreme side hobby for a group of guys with jobs and families. I wish we had a full time editing staff... We have been trying to catch and clean up as much as of this as we can, often late in the night when we have a few minutes here and there. But it is basically just a blog for guys with no aspirations of growing beyond it in the industry. There is also a balance needed... we are getting tons of people asking to see the results, antsy to discuss. So do we just dump a list with nothing out there? Or put some effort in adding some substance to it? We are trying to meet both needs and that is where we landed. Two guys (with help from a third... and one of which has a newborn) have been writing these entries... all of them... two guys that aren't Dave Meltzer and aren't getting paid and aren't able to take the time to provide an in depth retrospective on 331 careers. It was just meant to be a synopsis, sometimes funny in nature, to add some depth to the results. They were doing it because they volunteered, which is awesome, but it's not a job. Again, it's a free site and a group project meant to create conversation and debate. It's not the end all, be all look at each career. If you feel there are deficiencies in the bios, lay them out so others can learn. I am glad you are sticking with it and appreciate you sharing thoughts... just wanted to give insight into what has gone into all this.

It is a combo of design and schedules but I agree! We have an awesome bench to pull from and it has kept things fresh. Some new guests coming soon too. Glad you are enjoying!

Thanks for listening guys and for the insights too. I am surprised how much I have enjoyed these summer 1987 cards. I always assumed it was sort of a dead zone given the roster construction and Hogan and Andre being MIA, but they have held up nicely. We will cover Steamboat/Honky II on Monday!

I took the Will position of "dog years"... like three good years in the pre-02 era was worth six or so after 2002. It helped normalize things a bit that way.
