JerryvonKramer Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 The whole point though is that Manny was claim that match was the main event. I was in the minority in not liking that match too much, both Chad and Brian were higher on it than me -- but like I said, I'm ok with being in the minority. I don't buy that they were going easy so as not to steal the card. If you listen to Arn or Tully talk about this time, they talk about looking to go out there and "steal the show" from whatever position they with at in the card. If that was the mentality within the company at that time, then what excuse do Abby and Manny have for putting on such a tame match? As it happens, we mention that match again briefly on the next show ... Where the Big Boys Play #10 – NWA Superstars on the Superstation Brian and Parv take a look at this TV special from February 1986. Topics include: differences between JCP and WWF in the booking of the tag division, who on earth is Linda Curry?, speculation on why Crockett gave the decrepit Baron von Raschke into the promotion from the AWA at this time, Willie Nelson, Dusty Rhodes and differences between British and American working class values, further talk about Dusty’s dark desires for Baby Doll, more classic moments from David Crockett who is on top form, analysis of Tommy Young’s (kayfabe) performance as a ref, and picks for match of the night, MVP and The Billy Graham award.

Ricky Jackson Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Come on, everybody knows who Linda Curry is http://www.livingstudio.net/about.asp She had a fitness show on TBS in the 80s, hence the celebrity hosting gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Jackson Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 No problem. The key was searching for "Linda Curry Atlanta"--her site was the first result to pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyCakes83 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Great stuff here. I'm not a particularly big podcast listener, mainly due to time constraints, but this is certainly one of the more enjoyable wrestling shows I've come across.

soup23 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Thanks for the kind words Daveycakes. I know we just recorded the GAB 86 podcast and I learned a lot of backstory from Brian which enhanced the overall card in my opinion.

Boon Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Listened to all of them now lads, and enjoyed them, I especially like hearing people first hand accounts of shows from that era being a huge mark for 80s JCP. Although my favourite podcast is OSWP, this is certianly number two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryvonKramer Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Thanks a lot guys, high praise indeed. I'm a big fan of Dre and Blackcat's Old-school Wrestling Podcast too, and of Place to Be, Wrestling Culture with Dave and Dylan and wherever and whenever the man himself, Will / goodhelmet, makes an appearance. Agree with Chad that Brian adds a lot to these shows, I'm learning a lot from him too. GAB 86 part 1 should be out later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazeUSA Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 VERY behind on you guy's podcast (I only started listening about a month ago to them, I now d/l them from itunes & listen to them while Im at work during the day) but I enjoyed this one for sure, I remember this show & Loved the R&R vs Midnights tag/title switch & I also to this day remember the stiffness from the Flair/Garvin match, I was rolling when you guy's were bashing the bimbo who was w/ Magnum, hilarious!
