PWO Network Hype Thread


Recommended Posts

Since I have something in the works I want to hype and didn't want to start a thread for it just yet, or tack it onto some random podcast thread, I thought I'd create a general PWO-PTBN hype thread for any network personality who wants to advertise any upcoming pods for whatever reason. My upcoming project, which was alluded to in the Mystery Titans Theatre thread today, is an ambitious attempt at a solo podcast. I've long been fascinated by the history of wrestling at Madison Square Garden, and instead of shoehorning it into an episode of Titans of Wrestling (returning soonish, we promise!), it recently dawned on me to just go for it and do a solo history podcast on the subject. Anyway, more will be revealed shortly, but here is a trailer video for it I put together yesterday.

Well yes, his website is always of great value, but the reference I use most is Scott Teal's History of Professional Wrestling #3: Madison Square Garden, from 1999. Cawthon's site (and book too I think) only contains post-1962 results, whereas Teal's goes back all the way to the original MSG in 1880

At the Garden Series Preview: Wrestling at MSG, 1880-1938 will drop Friday, May 6 on the PWO-PTBN Network. This brief history will cover such figures as "The Solid Man" William Muldoon, George Hackenschmidt, Frank Gotch, Ed "Strangler" Lewis, "The Golden Greek" Jim Londos, Danno O'Mahoney, and many others, as well as the story of three different buildings known as Madison Square Garden. Look out for it fans!

Dropping on Wednesday, Titans of Wrestling #63 is the first of a periodic multi-part look at the history of Western Canada's Stampede Wrestling promotion. Kelly brings aboard his longtime friend Travis (Lucha Afterground podcast https://soundcloud.com/lucha-afterground) to host, and they reminisce about the wrestling they grew up on living in Calgary in the late-80s. This episode features the bookends of the territory, with a look at both the oldest footage available-from April 1961-and the symbolic end of the story, the Canadian Stampede main event from 1997. So in the meantime and in between time, get ready for Titans #63!

Better late than never, At the Garden returns Friday, September 23 with part 3 of my look at Bruno Sammartino, this time covering the years 1972-1977. This was an extremely successful period for wrestling at MSG during a dark time for New York City, as Bruno regained his throne and faced off against Spiros Arion, Ivan Koloff, Superstar Graham, Stan Hansen, Ken Patera and many, many others.

 

Check it out!
