It's probably Dibiase at Survivor Series 90 for me, but I didn't start watching wrestling until around then.

It took a few years of lurking before I felt comfortable to talk here and that's after being on DVDVR for years and years. Now everyone wished I talked less.
-
In this note, he probably is. John Olerud it is. Let's move on!

Muraco vs Windham Flordia, 1980. This is an awesome 3 minute mauling. It's probably the most intense I've ever seen Don and I immediately want to see more of his stuff from 1980 Florida.

They keep investing and investing and investing over the next two years. -
Kotter is all about vaudeville style wordplay. It's aged amazingly well
-
I would like to see Parv talk about Tony Danza for 3000 words. I would like Johnny to talk about Welcome Back Kotter next.

They turned Hughes with JYD
-
And the stuff that was good, like the nose-breaking angle with Steamboat stumbled into the stalking Madusa angle.

Do you ever look back and then see where we are now and wonder what the hell happened?
-
There were a lot of quick changes in direction too. Watts didn't really let things finish well before switching things about. I wish we had a long run of Arn Anderson challenging Sting, for instance. As a kid, the switch to Watts really turned me off. Flying Brian was my favorite wrestler at the time and I was really into the Dangerous Alliance.

It's hard to tell from the TV who was successful or not since from watching it you'd believe that almost every guy was getting over, especially Master G and Snowman. When exactly did Reed turn face. Snowman vs Jake was June 86 and I thought it was after that, but it's been a while.
-
With Reed, wasn't he sort of the last resort? He was a heel (and a great JYD foil) until all the other guys failed, and once he turned face Vince pretty much snatched him up? Or is my timeline off in my head?
-
We were doing so well too
-
If Johnny was a wrestling character, he could absolutely manage the Ding Dongs
-
Does that first Superdome show sync up with first WWF shows in various areas from the era before numbers quickly dropped?
-
He wasn't just an ethnic hero, he was a folk hero.
-
And for the love of god did Watts ever try his hardest to replace Dog.
-
Can Vader be Chris Farley?
-
Luger wasn't a full timer at that point. I think Rock's wrestling more in 2013 than Luger did in 92. Oh wait he had the Chono Tokyo Dome match too.
-
I've been too swamped to listen lately (also: Steve Regal), but you're getting into interesting territory again so I'll try to catch up.
-
I think to a casual audience HHH vs Brock II is a bigger draw than Mark Henry vs Brock. A lot of the casual nostalgia audience they're trying to draw see Henry as a joke still or a big boring fat guy.

If it's Khali, then I send him out there dressed like a mummy to dance and I give Neidhart a Luna Vachon gimmick.
