Where the Big Boys Play #8 – Starrcade 85: Part 1

 

 

Brian, Chad and Parv unite for the first three-man edition of Where the Big Boys Play to take on the first half of Starrcade 85. In this episode: Chad recounts the memories of his father- and brother-in-law of being at The Omni half of Starrcade 85 and talks about the importance of the Omni to the Atlanta area in general, the gradual transition from Charlotte to Atlanta of JCP / WCW, Sam Houston: stupidest babyface we’ve seen so far?, Brian explains how baldness can make you — or at least Barry Darsow — look bigger, Parv can’t substantiate the rumour that the ring announcer at The Omni is former AWA play-by-play man Rodger Kent, Manny Fernandez’s wild delusions of grandeur, Parv rants about Paul Jones’s lack of managerial acumen, and the missed opportunities of Buddy Landel’s career.

I had a chance to catch up on these over the weekend. Great job, guys. This podcast is definitely added to the rotation.

Parv;

 

Regarding your comments on the Manny-Abdullah match, maybe they didn't want that match stealing too much glare for the other matches higher on the card. The Piper-Valentine match was more of a feature for Starracde 83 than Manny-Butcher was for 85.
