Part 3 of this MSG career retrospective sees Bruno reclaim his throne and undertake a second run on top even more successful than the first, during a time of decadence and disorder in New York.

 

This show gives a rundown of...

 

-Bruno traveling the territories and overseas
-Showdown at Shea '72: Bruno vs Pedro
-The epic feud with Spiros Arion
-The return of Ivan Koloff
-Showdown at Shea '76: Bruno goes for revenge against Stan Hansen
-Battles with Superstar Graham, Waldo Von Erich, Stan Stasiak, Ken Patera, and others

 

All this and more on At the Garden!

Fucking brilliant. Again, the best show any of us dopes do. By a LARGE margin.

[Karl]

I cant recall if I said the same on the previous shows, but these podcasts are the wrestling equivalent of Mike Duncan or Dan Carlin history podcasts - thats the highest of praise from me.

[JerryvonKramer]

This is compulsive listening once you get into its rhythms.

[Karl]

Any reason there is a penalty charge pic at the top of this post??

[Ricky Jackson]

You don't see the pic of Bruno?

[Karl]

No....very odd!

Once again antastic to listen to. Keep up the good work!

It's so well produced and such a gentle listen. Thanks a lot for this.

[Ricky Jackson]

Thanks for all the complements guys. I wish I could produce these more frequently, but it can be a time consuming process, even for only 30-45 minute shows. I will finish the Bruno story and then I'm planning on going back and looking at the 50s era to conclude the story I started with the preview episode

Nice choice of music too!

[High Flyer]

Not sure if this particular praise has been dropped yet, but Kelly shows great reading, pacing, and cadence throughout as well. Very unique for this type of form.

I just copy the Ken Burns doc voice guy
