The wrestling fans of the Dallas area are begging for wrestling action! Joe Blanchard has changed his mind and is now ruminating on changing the loop to a triangle and running just 3 shows a week in Houston, Dallas & San Antonio if Fritz doesn't get it together and give his guys some work.

I love all the Tharpe interviews but a certain host of this program told me 3 months ago he was going to do a podcast on all the movies and documentaries I put in his hands. I need you guys' thoughts on Titanes en el Ring, I Like to Hurt People, & Continuons le Combat

I have no idea how WWF at the time would have handled the debut of The Shockmaster but I would have loved to hear Vince himself try and cover for it on commentary.

If no one planned on following the great wrestling traditions of mocking & trash talking your competition this wouldn't be as fun. There's no way 19 promotions would all be friendly and on good terms with each other.

How did Kevin Sullivan wind up on this??

There are so many awesome lucha brawls just on the 80s set. MS-1 vs. Sangre Chicana (9.23.83) Tony Salazar vs. Herodes (3.2.84) Sangre Chicana vs. Perro Aguayo (Hair vs. Hair) (2.28.86) La Fiera vs. Babyface (8.15.86) Arandu vs. Guerrero Negro (1988) And that's just the stuff that made my top 20! Give me an awesome lucha brawl over an "epic" Misawa match any day.

Good stuff! Nice to see The Fabs sticking up for those sick kids that the Rock N Roll Express obviously don't care about. I am disappointed you didn't work Tully into the Fortunate Sons thing though. He's another son of a wrestling promoter!

People really seemed to like the Stan Hansen vs. Carlos Colon feud all in one video so I thought I would share this one that I just found. This claims to be the whole Larry Z/Bock feud (not my upload)

I am wrestling footage drifter. I have WAY too much shit to watch to ever come up with a neat orderly plan to watch all of it so sometimes I just let myself drift to something I read about. I blame Dylan for this too for talking about Gage so much on twitter.

I have no idea why I just watched that Nick Gage vs. Sid Fabulous match. That was fucking gross. Sid Fabulous is an idiot and Nick Gage is a shitty human being.

KONGO KONG!

The Piper thing was just Piper being his usual crazy self. No one told him to go out there and talk about Owen.

Southwest Championship Wrestling @ Corpus Christi, TX - Memorial Coliseum July 14th, 1983 Mike Masters beat The Masked Wildfire in 5:29 via submission with the Full Nelson Moose Cholak pinned Juan Reynosa in 3:44 after a splash Ken Lucas & Charlie Cook beat Ali Bey & The Ninja Warrior when Charlie Cook pinned Ali Bey in 12:17 after a powerslam Fidel Sierra & Bob Sweetan wrestled to a 15 minute time limit draw The Fabulous Ones defeated Terry Adonis & Eddy Mansfield in 7:05 in a totally dominant match that saw Mansfield purposefully avoid tagging in Southwest Heavyweight Title: Tully Blanchard pinned Scott Casey in 16:37 after Killer Khan interference while the referee was knocked down.

Why do they need a 15 minute over run for a 3 hour show? And why the hell does Rollins need to come out and talk AGAIN after Brock killed Kane?

I will have lucha guys on my list but I don't know if El Dandy will be one of them honestly. I need to get back to his 1990 that I was watching but he has only 1 match that I have really loved so far.

I haven't seen anything of note on Southwest TV. I really liked them in Mid-South but there wasn't enough there to put them on a list like this. Maybe something will pop up on NWAClassics since I am fairly sure I saw some listings that had them against Ken Lucas & Ricky Morton.

Mike Masters did a lot of WWF job work. He's known to the area.

Thank you Parv. If I do a ballot now I will feel completely comfortable with only having Fujinami & Onita on my list.

Fucking nuts. Do not heckle John Tatum.

Happened to just stumble into this thread and it forced me to pull out my USWA Texas discs and find this segment. Absolutely nuts. New wrestling gif material for me.

Depends on how much Sid powerbombing people counts?

I'm in the same camp as Matt D. I respect how they've managed to just do their own thing and say "fuck you" to anyone who doesn't like it. That said, I don't want to watch their matches at all.

I wasn't really planning on submitting a ballot but I'm starting to think about how i can justify it more and more. If there are people who aren't really going to watch any lucha or include any luchadores surely I can do the same thing with puro?

Wow. That somehow feels really beneath him to do.
