I thought the tag show was absolutely fantastic and one of the best shows ever to go out on our feed (imho).

 

Kelly and Marty Sleaze actually make a perfect tag-team. Their personalities just complement each other so well.

 

Kelly is calm, cerebral, smooth-talking, taking us on engaging and well-informed history lessons, sitting by the fire with a pipe and probably wearing a Scooby-doo-esque cardigan.

 

Marty is so full of energy, excitement and enthusiasm, breaking down the matches in a totally captivating way -- old enough to know his shit, but still too young to be jaded by life.

 

Going to have to dig out that Tito-Steamer vs. Dream Team match. Sounds awesome.

Great stuff on the tag team episode. I would agree with Parv on the pairing. I wonder, if either Kelly or Marty have watched much 80s AJPW and how the style was not as hard-hitting as one would assume based on the 90s, if Hansen in that environment was similar to Valentine in the 80s WWF?

Parv, those are mighty fine comments and I really appreciate them that's exactly what I seek to achieve. DaWho, I have only watched the 88 Real World Tag League Final and a couple of the Choshu tags so I can't comment in good conscience yet, but if I have some time I will look into them.

I wrote a companion piece to the Tag Teams Back Again podcast with Ricky Jackson (Kelly).

 

 

I highly recommend listening over reading, but I thought this would also be a good way to highlight a lot of my WWF Tag Team work over the years. I have been postponing The Rockers piece and I really need to get it done because I think they are the best team in WWF history.

Titans Xtra makes an unexpected comeback with this experiemental format:

Join Parv and Kelly in this Mystery Science Theatre-style experience, as they watch a random -- and perhaps rightly forgotten -- WWF card from April 23rd, 1983 at the Cap Centre. Be sure to watch along at home as you listen, by following the link:

If you wait about an hour, I'm currently uploading a version of this to youtube with the audio laid over the video.

 

We lose about 10 minutes of intro from the start, but otherwise, if this proves to have any interest, it could be a new thing we do.

I'm pretty sure the early-'90s Pete Sanchez was a different guy, but I could be wrong.

 

Edit: Kelly brings up the possibility two seconds after I hit Post. The '90s Sanchez was a tubby guy with a darker complexion.
