Mad Dog

Good stuff as always here. Little disappointed at the lack of animal run ins.

A big part if I remember correctly because HHH had done that to a couple of guy's he had worked with.

I think it was getting pretty strained in 2003.

Getting a jump start on tomorrow: Rikidozan vs. Lou Thesz (10/13/1957) Wow, someone found a full copy of this. Awesome. I love Thesz's heeling in this match. Thesz is just perfect in this match as his facial expressions just show a total disdain for the entire affair and he gets some nice cheap shots in and also screws with the referee here and there. This one had a holy shit moment in it as Thesz did an airplane spin and they both got dumped out of the ring. Sad result for Rikidozan as he might have won the belt if he didn't insist on making clean breaks in the ropes during the first fall. I liked this match quite a bit. It had some slow spots but I liked the dynamic they had with each other and when they kicked it up in pace it was fun.

I think the biggest frustrations I had in 2002 were Rob Van Dam not getting a run with the belt and BookDust not being used to their full ability.

I thought that Lothario/Madril vs. Dragon/Checkmate match was going to suck but it turned out to be a really fun tag.

I think Jarrett is trying to have GFW ready to soak up all the TNA fans when they collapse at the end of the year.

https://soundcloud.com/pit-podcast-134632092/pit-podcast-episode-4-death-of-wcw-aftermath This is part 2 to the last episode. We talk a little about current Ring of Honor. We delve a little into some of the failed startups after WCW closed. Our biggest focus is on MECW and XWF. Fencing movies also come up during the course of the conversation.

He added about 8 hours of stuff to that Titans set so I have some things you guys missed.

I'll add a MSG match with Greg Valentine to the list of DeNucci matches I've really enjoyed.

Okay, I can do that. I will submit a tag team ballot.

I would be down with this though there would be days I missed entirely.

When are those due? I will look over the nominee list and I will submit a ballot for tag teams. I can manage 25 vs. 100.

You only need 25 tag teams for that ballot? I would consider submitting a tag team ballot.

They had the online thing for several years too so you can add: Wrestling Challenge 1986-1990 Superstars 1990-1993 WCW Saturday Night 1995-1996

It seems like they all get fed up with the promoters at the same time and jump back to the other side. It really makes me sad that I can't get into AAA. I tried really hard last year when Averno and Mistico jumped ship. But I just can't do it for some reason. I'll take sucky CMLL shows over good AAA shows any day and I've never been able to force myself to change that.

I would turn him tecnico again.

I think wrestling is more honest about being fixed than boxing is.

I love that Catweazle match. McManus is probably my second favorite WoS guy behind Jim Breaks.

Isn't Averno pretty close to leaving AAA as well?

25% off of all their VOD stuff this weekend. Great chance to stock up on some shows.

I have all the AJPW TV from his run on DVD but the match listings I have don't say what are title matches. I'll let you know if I come across some title defense you didn't see.

I appreciate the sentiment to this. I love this place because it challenges me to explore what's out there and you guys have really pushed me into discovering wrestling again after the Benoit murders. I watched more wrestling in the past 14 months than I did in the 5 years before that. Honestly, I could submit a list. I do think about placements when looking at this list and I have been digging into a lot of diverse footage but I just don't feel it's my place to do so. I love reading these discussions and seeing what you have to say but I am comfortable in just being a spectator for this.

I'm right behind you on these. Watching his title win match with Bockwinkel right now and it looks like he has about a title defense a week on TV for awhile.

I just got an email to pick up my WWE Network gift cards at Walmart.
