Ricky Jackson Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 World Cast What If...?: WWE Hidden Gems 2 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-what-if-wwe-hidden-gems-2 The latest Hidden Gems drop on the Network got the boys excited (well, more Pete and Kelly than Johnny) so they decided to take another brief break from WCCW to talk about it. This drop is all about famous "shooters" in wrestling, looking at... -Karl Gotch/Rene Goulet vs The Rugged Russians 1/22/72 Boston Garden -Danny Hodge/Jos LeDuc vs Pak Song/Toru Tanaka 11/12/74 Florida -Billy Robinson vs Rick Martel 5/19/83 Winnipeg Arena -Nobuhiko Takada vs Athol Foley 8/12/83 Stampede -Lou Thesz vs Wild Bill Longson 6/17/52 Sportatorium, Dallas A great time was had by all, and if you love random history talk about all kinds of wrestling legends and territories, this is basically the only podcast you will need to listen to for the rest of 2018 (excluding more World Cast of course...and eventually the Mount Olympus 1966 special...and all the great shows on ProWrestlingOnly.com...but other than that, nothing else) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 If you think you know racist shit in wrestling, you ain't seen nothing until you've seen the World Class show we break down on this show. Between Killer Karl Krupp, The Freebirds, and the Von Erich's attempts at not being racist being racist, it's a plethora of racist hilarity. Oh, and midgets!

Why was it taped there? Why are all the matches so short? It's one of the great mysteries of modern times, but it does provide a bunch of highlights, such as... -The most total and complete humiliation of a jobber ever witnessed by man -The Iceman vs Michael Hayes in a less than satisfying encounter -The end of the road for the Great Kabuki -And a freakin' AWESOME main event between Ric Flair and Kevin for the NWA title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Jackson Posted January 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Episode 56 April 30 & May 7, 1983 (WCCW 70 & 71) https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-56?in=prowrestlingonly/sets/world-cast The boys ring in the new year with a double-sized double episode! Truth be told, this was unplanned, but Pete had a bit too much New Year's Eve fun (*wink, wink*), so Kelly and Johnny go alone and decide to bash out TWO reviews of WCCW for you lucky listeners. Highlights include... -More Mongol being crappy -Chavo vs Gorgeous Jimmy in a hot little match -More Kamala being awesome -Mike Fucking Reed -More Akbar being weird -Two super hot main events further continuing the Von Erichs vs Freebirs war, but with the Iceman now involved! And fans, for the next two weeks look out for WORLD CAST OF THE CHAMPIONS!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted January 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 World Cast of the Champions: Pro Wrestling USA, December 29, 1985 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-of-the-champions-pwusa-12291985 The WWE Network went plum crazy this past Xmas with a flurry of new additions to the Hidden Gems section. Always on the cutting edge, the boys have decided to forgo WCCW for a couple weeks to look at a couple of the most interesting drops. Today, their gaze turns to the Meadowlands on a cold December night in 1985 for an AWA/NWA supercard attended by our very own Johnny Sorrow as a snarky young lad. This is an epic show covering a myriad of topics, including: -The midget equivalent of Brisco vs Funk Jr, or something -You've got a way to go, ladies, but at least you're working stiff -Carlos Colon is so hated by the surly Northeast crowd he turns Paul Jones babyface -The phenomenon of the Road Warriors -SGT. SLAUGHTER BLEEDING BUCKETS!!! (who cares if his opponents stink) -Magnum vs Tully motherfuckers!!! -In case there was any doubt, the Dusty Finish sucks balls -And Ricky Martel vs Stan Hansen in a main event totally rejected by the audience, but with an ending guaranteed never to be forgotten NEXT WEEK: MID SOUTH NEW YEAR'S EVE 1985!!!!!

On the docket: -The Bruise Brothers (Porkchop Cash and "Mad Dog" Boyd) vs. Eddie Gilbert and the Nightmare -Terry Taylor vs. Rob Rechsteiner -Jake Roberts vs. Sir Oliver Humperdink -"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs. Dick Slater -"Hacksaw" Butch Reed vs. "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer -Plus, the main event, not found on the WWE Network, Ted Dibiase vs. Dick Murdoch! Two "Hacksaws" and two "Mad Dogs", plus a bunch of blood and some really good matches = a kick ass card. This show was a blast to do, so everyone enjoy!!!

Ricky Jackson Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Episode 58 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-58 May 21, 1983 (WCCW 73) A red hot main event between Kevin Von Erich and Terry Gordy for the American title highlights an otherwise humdrum episode of WCCW. But as experienced podcasters, the boys know how to make this shit sound awesome... -Yatsu shows no respect to Montreal LEGEND Butcher Vachon -The never-ending, globe spanning WAR between Chris Adams and the Mongol continues, and nobody cares -Pete's favorite wrestler Johnny Mantell returns, but he's no Good Ol' Al -And best of all, no Bill Mercer this week!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this finally be the right look for Bill? Could be. In addition, the boys want to talk a little wrestling, including... -Chris Adams' struggle to find relevance in the territory -The "Captain's Match".
