Wrestling with a Generation Gap 5 - Buddy Rose, Ospreay vs. Ricochet

[thebrainfollower]

Dave, Nick and Rob are back to compare and contrast two very different generations of wrestling. First up the boys watch the first half of Buddy Rose's 1983 face turn from Portland Oregon which includes multiple promos, two epic beatdowns and an amazing tag match between Buddy Rose & Dynamite Kid taking on Curt Hennig and Billy Jack Haynes.

 

Then it's over to last year's NJ for Will Ospreay vs. Ricochet. Will I completely bury this crazy high flying match (spoiler - no actually, I liked it with reservations)

 

Topics discussed - Is Terry Funk in fact Godzilla, guys whose rep is hurt by their Hulkamania era run, Nick discovers the goodness of babyface Curt Hennig, Dave ponders the Assassin's role in BJH conspiracy theories, Rob messes up both the name of Buddy Rose's gang as well as the Portland Assassin, general respect and amusement about Don Owen. We also have a general discussion about both good and bad babyface turns we've seen over the years.

 

 

As always feedback and comments are most welcome!

Is this available as a podcast?

[thebrainfollower]

I would have to find someone willing to put it up as a podcast. That would be my ideal, so right now no. Also we actually watch the footage live (though we all have seen it before) so having stuff I can put up for the viewing audience to watch with us at the same time happens a lot. Obviously with WWE stuff that's out and TNA as well but I don't see us watching much of that beyond the Final Deletion stuff that Nick and Dave wanted me to see.
