SteveJRogers Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 How much of Shea is out there? Can't wait to hear those matches next month. Its a darn shame that the WWE didn't run a show at Shea again before they torn it down in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 We are going to talk about the majority of the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrainfollower Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 The 24/7 version edited out the women's tag and the Greg Gagne match. I would assume neither of those were recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJRogers Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 According to ProWrestlingHistory.com's WWF Supercard index, other than Shea, there is one other "Supercard" in this era that the pod is covering listed, that's September 22nd 1980's WWF/NWA Title "Unification" (ironically considering what may or may not happen Sunday) from MSG.

bradhindsight Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 The Backlund/Patera Texas Death Match made the Best of WWE at MSG DVD from the summer. Interesting to look around at different DVD reviews rating the match. Found the one review at WDN where he gave it **3/4. I sent him the titans of wrestling URL so he could get smartened up.

Superstar Sleeze Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 "How can you bury what was never above ground" - Kelly with fuckin line of the century. ---------------------------------- This is the best episode ever. In a 20 minute stretch, you get everyone no-selling a random Parkinson comment, Parv telling a story about losing an arm wrestling contest at 11, and Pete working Johnny. I am friggin' dying. You all should be baseball announcers. You could make any 3 hour game entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Sleeze Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 "Teen Titan" Marty Sleeze, how come you guys did not tell me you already had a moniker for me! I got a good kick out of that. Too bad I did not listen to Titans until now. O and Johnny, I listen to the podcast while getting laid. When you are putting out 3 hour podcasts and you watch as much wrestling as I do you have to learn to multi-task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 That Texas Death Match between Backlund and Patera totally blew me away. Had never seen it before. Just absolutely loved it. As vulnerable as we have seen Backlund look. Amazing crowd heat. I see that it didn't make the first WWF 80's set. Going to guess it was maybe not available when that set was released? If I'm doing a ballot now, it would be way up there. Just loved it. Great story about Tor Kamata! It can be a small world sometimes. Thought the battle royal was a fun one with Larry's antics. Hanging outside on the apron seems risky as far as getting eliminated. Johnny really does like Tony Garea. A young Sylvester Stallone must have been in attendance for one of those arm wrestling contests. The second Patera/Backlund match was disappointing. Monsoon was doing the same stuff as a referee that he would always complain about on commentary. Physically touching the other wrestlers and being biased towards one guy. He got down pretty quick for pinfalls though. But he was way too involved. Too much for even a special guest referee. Hogan versus Andre wasn't too good but agreed with those who thought they announcing wasn't playing up such a match. Too bad we don't have Dick Graham and Rudman doing commentary on Parv's Arm Wrestling Tournament Finals match. Another really fun show to listen to.
