Magpie Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Listening right now where Kelly is talking re the memorable magazine cover. As soon as he said those words, I knew the one he was talking about. The Steamboat/Piper/JYD vs Savage/Adonis/Race match, that is so much fun to watch. A lot of star power and I like too that it had a different flavour from everything else of the time. I watch that match about once a year. And yeah, Slick is funny on commentary. Hogan/Piper/Haynes vs Orndorff/Herc/Adonis while not as good a match was still a fun watch. Agree with Kelly where he said the Hogan/Kamala singles matches were a good watch. If one of those had been on PPV or SNME, they'd be a lot more talked about. Hogans magnetism was phenomenal, as mentioned by Marty. Special Bee-livery Jones, an honorary Bee. Not really much honor there. Great topic bringing up masked confusion between Blair and Jones Hogan/Koko vs Kamala/Honky, the commentator you couldn't place was Craig De George. I remember him most for being the man holding the mic when DiBiase first stated he was going to buy the WWF World title. One fun thing I like with Hogan is how he plays well with his tag partner in taking on their mannerisms, such as Koko's bird flapping arms, JYDs dance, etc. Thanks for the shout out re the match recommendations. Any others I see that I think could do with the TTBA treatment, I will post them up here. Great listen guys, thanks for covering the tag team facet of wrestling so well. Many memories bought up every ep. Always look forward to your next show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Jackson Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Sweet find with the Can Ams vs Demos Boston match. I was specifically looking for that match for the next show. Thanks man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 No problem. When TTBA drops, it always shoots to the top of my Must Listen pile. Good to find others with such love for 80s tag wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Lord Kitchener had an absolutely glorious moustache. I'd be surprised if that image wasn't also iconic in the US and elsewhere in the world. Certainly is here. I think the Uncle Sam poster was modeled on the Kitchener one. He did have other posters too, he was the public face of the army. Kitchener is also pretty famous for being the guy responsible for the basically disasterous "dig a trench, go over the line, and wait for the Germans to shoot you" strategy that dominated World War 1. The standard critique would be that he took tactics that worked against Zulus armed with spears and applied them in a situation in which they were outmoded. This was spoofed famously in Blackadder in the character of General Melchett played by Stephen Fry. That show in general does a great job of exposing the absurdity of the British high command during that war for which Kitchener was (literally) the poster boy.

Magpie Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Have not watched this yet but was only posted 3 days ago on YT. Has French commentary but still a good find I hope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEq3OXBKW2w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstar Sleeze Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Magpie, you da man! Martel vs Bret in '87 hot damn! Now I am excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks guys. Can Ams vs Harts, wow, whatta super match with a hot crowd. A Rick Martel hot tag is one of the prime reasons I am in love with 80s tag wrestling. At about the 11 minute mark, Bret scurries from the ring, with Zenk in pursuit. It looks like Bret legit mows Jimmy Hart down, it didn't look a spot. I would have liked Zenk to stick around, even a few more months, to get more from these two teams.
