shoe Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Does Parv get more excited talking about Arn/Windham or Martel or drop kicking ring announcers from San Fransisco? Quote
soup23 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Posted February 9, 2015 Tough to say, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on that match Pete compared to the Steamboat vs. Windham 1993 match I bring up in comparison. Quote
shoe Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Chad I'll rewatch both of them either Monday or Tuesday. I know Parv loved the Arn bout. Then i'll listen to the show so I don't have any bias thoughts before I watch them. Quote
PeteF3 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Well, I have a match to seek out now. And yeah, I have that Sting vs. Cactus bout as the 1991 Match of the Year for WCW. I won't argue that Ross is fucking horrid calling it, though. Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 We talk about Tim Horner a little bit on this show and I've just discovered something shocking: Holy shit!!! Quote
Matt D Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Chad is a friend, and Bret Hart is a wrestler I have many fond memories of, but both of them call it "the WCW" at times. Quote
soup23 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Posted February 9, 2015 More egregious examples is how many times I say nondescript or my pronunciation with epitome, which is a word I always have to consciously say in my head correctly before speaking. Quote
Superstar Sleeze Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 The Lord Byron namecheck is for the "Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know" either that or Mr. Hughes fought for Greek rights in the 1990s against the Turks. I wonder if Northern Cyprus bothers Hughes to this day. WINNIE THE POOHING WITH POORIDGE was hilarious! Reading the note that Parv accidentally reviewed the wrong AA/Windham match has me rolling laughing after all his high praise. God that's so funny! Quote
Grimmas Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Jumbo Trusuta Ric Flair Stan Hansen Terry Funk Mitsuharu Misawa Toshiaki Kawada Bret Hart Nick Bockwinkel CM Punk Daniel Bryan Rey Mysterio Goldust Greg Valentine Steven Regal Genichiro Tenryu Jerry Lawler Jushin Liger Negro Casas Randy Savage Ricky Steamboat 1-2-3 Kid Quote
Grimmas Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 1-2-3 Kid Fuck off no! Best wrestler ever at timing hope spots. Quote
Matt D Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 1-2-3 Kid Fuck off no! Best wrestler ever at timing hope spots. I need to go watch all the Kid vs Yoko tag matches now since Yoko was the best wrestler ever at timing the cutting off of hope spots. Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 I'm never doing a show with Steven again, or indeed anyone who thinks Waltman is better than fucking Double A. Quote
PeteF3 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 You may give Arn an edge for longevity (though Anderson's career actually wasn't as long as it may seem), but goddamn, Waltman was awesome for the first 6 years of the '90s. Like, as in from 1990 when he was 20 years old onward. Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Okay, I've made a poll. Look what you've done Grimmas! Quote
Superstar Sleeze Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 We talk about Tim Horner a little bit on this show and I've just discovered something shocking: Holy shit!!! I loved this match! Awesome fundamentals-based match with Horner looking great in the shine and Hawk being a straight up boss during the heat. Nice find. Quote
soup23 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Posted February 10, 2015 1. Misawa 2. Kawada 3. Kobashi 4. Jumbo 5. Tenryu 6. Flair 7. Tully 8. Casas 9. Dandy 10. Satanico 11. El Hijo Del Santo 12. Liger 13. Hashimoto 14. Funk 15. Lawler 16. Steamboat 17. Mysterio 18. Bockwinkel 19. Jim Breaks 20. Hansen Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 7. Tully 16. Steamboat I would probably debate these two. Maybe we should do this in Arn's GWE thread? Quote
peachchaos Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Parv, I'd like to know if you have watched the correct match yet and, if so, your thoughts? Quote
shoe Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Parv has done this on Titans too. We were astute enough to realize he watched a cage match while we watched a regular match. Quote
BigBadMick Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Really good listen here lads. I'd gone through a WCW 1991 tv binge watch last year and all these matches had come up. And Chad - keep making these podcasts and I'll keep listening. Hope you do get a better, more regular output for 1992 Quote

Hope you do get a better, more regular output for 1992 Thanks Mick If the baby will keep his regular sleep schedule and Parv will quit jet setting around the world like Ric Flair, we should be able to plow through 92 more easily.
