adecorativedrop Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GN8WpBFNVzqM6pSOPbnp1tlOiBt0-qT0YtwnDppnq-Q/edit?usp=sharing I love Word of Sport. The only thing about trying to catch up with it is I end up watching matches in a pretty random order. So I put together this spreadsheet that puts the 284 World of Sport matches with dates on YouTube user tellumyort's channel in chronological order. That said, there are still 105 matches on the channel that don't list a date, which are listed at the bottom of the spreadsheet. If anyone could help fill in some of those blanks, that'd be great. All matches have corresponding hyperlinks. Also if there any World of Sport matches online that aren't on tellumyort's channel that should be included, please mention them. And if you have dates for them that'd be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adecorativedrop Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Added all the matches from the "Arthur Psycho" channel to a separate tab on the spreadsheet. There's also a tab counting total number of matches for notable wrestlers. I realize some of the matches on the tellumyort and Arthur Psycho matches may be redundant, and some of them are from Reslo. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GN8WpBFNVzqM6pSOPbnp1tlOiBt0-qT0YtwnDppnq-Q/edit?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 The itvwrestling.co.uk website will help with the matches you need dates for. It's the site I used when sorting and getting dates for the matches that aired on TWC over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Did WOS ever run any storylines or angles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Are you listing the matches by air date or taping date? Most of the dates on tellemyort's channel are air dates. You need to be careful about the difference between the American and British dating systems as well. The first match you have listed for '71 (Steele vs. Mulligan) actually aired in December. ITV wrestling is a good site to use. You sometimes need to cross check it, though, by doing a way back machine search for the old British wrestling archive site. I have a list of every WoS match I've seen includibg taping dates. That ought to cover most of the missing dates. If you'd like a copy PM me.

ohtani's jacket Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Did WOS ever run any storylines or angles? A bit. Guys who were working programs together and who had several of their matches featured on TV would generally have matches that advanced a storyline. The most common storyline revolved around wrestler A earning s title shot against wrestler B. The angles were pretty simple -- Wayne Bridges turning heel against Pete Roberts, for example, or Dennison seconding Young David sparking a Breaks/Dennison feud. A lot of the angles and storylines happened on top with Big Daddy. Their success at Wembly was build around Big Daddy storylines with John Quinn and Giant Haystacks. Nagasaki was involved in a fair bit of stuff too like his famous unmasking. It was a bit like lucha in that they'd film a house show where sometimes there would be matches with guys feuding but it wasn't really episodic. One storyline they did really well was young guy vs. vet. They also handled title feuds well. But guys almost never made dramatic heel or face turns. They'd just start acting differently, displaying a new attitude. When Dixon started All-Star, he focused on angles that ran from show to show and I believe Paul Lincoln did the same thing in the 60s.

ohtani's jacket Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I forgot to mention that they loved a tournament. Any excuse for a tournament. And so many replays in the finals. I swear someone in Dale Martin thought FA Cup replays were the pinnacle of sports booking. Lots of team events too. Kind of like mini Davis Cup ties.

JNLister Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 This is much appreciated. I'm (very very slowly) adding YouTube links to the listings at ITVWrestling.co.uk, so this will be a big help. 87 and 88 are already done.

jeffersonlake Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Quick question for any British posters who used to watch WoS wrestling back in the day - where did you watch it? (I have a theory). (also - apologies for tangential post) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedoctor Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Quick question for any British posters who used to watch WoS wrestling back in the day - where did you watch it? (I have a theory). (also - apologies for tangential post) I used to watch it at my Granmothers house on a Saturday afternoon each week. It was great wrestling before I got into the American stuff but I do remember the odd show when Hogan faced Savage in a Lumberjack match. I know years later TWC aired alot of it but I do remember a few years ago a channel Men & Movies aired it too but was wondering did Men & Movies just show all the stuff TWC aired or did they show more stuff?

Britwresdvds Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Are you listing the matches by air date or taping date? Most of the dates on tellemyort's channel are air dates. More of the ones I've seen on Tellumyort's channel have the taping dates, rather than air dates. If people wanted to use my site to cross check, all the ITV listings on there are air dates, which in some cases I've checked from multiple sources, including cross-checking the football scores at the bottom of the screen with a football history website, where some air dates might have had question marks.

ohtani's jacket Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 My bad if that's the case. There were a few other channels that used to upload WoS matches like https://www.youtube.com/user/mike06052 and https://www.youtube.com/user/wrestlazRecently, there have been some full length original WoS episodes uploaded by this guy -- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAcBjp6k-E-9Bh3Z7v9yxaA/videos?sort=dd&view=0&shelf_id=0 and full length M&M episodes here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6e_hofDmYgegf3_tHJMm0g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overbooked Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Quick question for any British posters who used to watch WoS wrestling back in the day - where did you watch it? (I have a theory). (also - apologies for tangential post) Always at home, but from what I remember I was generally sitting at the dining table eating a late lunch, as I was often at clubs and stuff in the morning.

As for the Movies & Men channel airing them, once I knew they were advertised I started to record them, I think I managed 100 disks then I kinda gave up as I noticed they started repeating the same matches, Ive no idea how much different footage them amassed on that channel but Im guessing when I stopped recording they must have had different footage but too many repeated stuff came on so was hard to work out what I had recorded and what I hadent. No idea how long it ran for either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
