I'm still working on getting my podcast up and off the ground. For those unaware the format is going to be to discuss the MOTYC's from various years, promotions, etc. I've decided on 1976 as the first year I will cover. And outside of one curmudgeon on Twitter who seems to enjoy trying to suck the fun out of everything I'm looking for some recommendations of the best matches from that year. I've already got a solid top 10, but I'd love to get some more recommendations so I can cover as much of the year as possible.

Gwyn Davies vs. Steve Veidor from 5/26 is one of my favorite matches ever, World of Sport or otherwise.

 

Others, some of which are probably already known about:

 

- Verne Gagne vs. Jumbo Tsuruta (3/10)

- Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Rusher Kimura (3/28)

- Terry Funk vs. Jumbo Tsuruta (6/11)

- Giant Baba vs. Billy Robinson (7/24)

- Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Jack Brisco (8/28)

- Dick Murdoch vs. Killer Karl Kox (12/9)

I'll have to check out the Gagne/Tsuruta and Kimura/Tsuruta matches if I can find them, never seen those.

Even though it's clipped, if you are doing 1976, you really need to see: Jack Brisco vs Terry Funk (03/26/76), we get at least 10 minutes or so and this match just looks so excellent.

 

I think Terry Funk and Jack Brisco were probably the top 2 US workers of 1976.

 

Second that Davies vs Veidor match, it's great.

I don't know how they rate as Match of the Year contenders, but here are the World of Sport matches I liked:

 

Kung Fu vs. Mick McManus (4/21/76)
Zoltan Boscik vs. Steve Grey (aired 5/8/76)
Steve Veidor vs. Gwyn Davies (5/26/76)
Mark Rocco vs. Marty Jones (6/30/76)
Terry Rudge vs. Marty Jones (11/30/76)
Zoltan Boscik vs. Alan Sarjeant (12/29/76)
