IMO for Muraco in 81 WWF the Texas Death Match against Pedro 11/23 is good, I wasn't blown away by the Backlund matches, and the rest is Dullsville (avoid every other match against Pedro like the plague)

Happy New Year!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAGYIvg1FHk&app=desktop

That's one I've always wondered about. It went on for a few weeks at least. I can remember my friends speculating on who it was. Wonder why it was dropped and what plans, if any, they had for the gimmick

Oh yeah, that's being reviewed on the next show!

Thanks a lot. Marty and I are having a blast and things will only get better

Thanks for the praise man. These shows are a labour of love and it's great people are digging them. Those recommendations look really solid. I've seen a few of them over the years but a lot I haven't. We are planning on looking at some of the 87 ones for sure. Love "Stundy", not sure about "Sholkoff".☺ Hogan and Koko vs Kamala and Honky is definitely topical

Bruno vs Waldo Von Erich 6/16/75 MSG. The dictionary definition of "Over"

Watching some 1975 WWWF for fun because I'm the only one who can still stomach it (#bringbackTitans75) and came across this marvelous Vince blazer, complete with what appears to be a custom made "WWWF" crest.

I miss kayfabe sometimes

Please stop ending words wth z

Reading around, it seems the consensus is if Kidd does come back it won't be for at least a year

In 84 Hogan was still working New Japan a lot. Early 85 too I think. Also, at first Vince believed Hogan was more of a special attraction that shouldn't be booked every month. Vince was also expanding into new areas, so Hogan was also occupied in a way Bob or Bruno never were

We always say you don't have to be a fan or knowledgeable of the era to appreciate Titans. It's basically a show about being a wrestling fan more than anything PS. Skip episode 1☺

Sasha vs Charlotte on the latest NXT was fucking great. It has a really awesome finishing sequence, and including the post-match this whole thing got over the importance of a championship better than anything WWE has done in years.

Brock's basically a babyface, so it would make no sense to book him against Taker anyway

Just run Taker vs Sting and let the chips fall where they may. It's still a dream match on paper even if it may be a trainwreck in execution. Don't really want to see Taker getting his win back from Brock, although that match may be the most intiguing business wise.

The list of potential shows we have at one point discussed is quite long. I'm still disappointed we never got Johnny's epic Jimmy Valiant vs Paul Jones feud special episode

Bruno has a three match series with Spiros Arion at MSG in 1975 that perfectly captures his overness and mass appeal in NYC. They may not be mat classics in the workrate sense but they are great pro wrestling

My thoughts exactly

His "serious" approach to WWF wrestling coming after years of Saturday cartoon was a major breath of fresh air at the time

I still maintain you're just changing the names in the "made up" headlines

I take it to mean a PPV that was a total waste of time and its removal from history wouldn't make one bit of difference to overall wrestling history. Any number of WWE shows from 2003 - present would qualify. As would 90% of TNA's back catalog.

Yeah, that was kinda weird. I remember they had a chain match that was shown on TV but I have never been able to find it online. It was from Stampede's annual summer show at the larger Corral

Yeah, I don't get that one either.

I don't know, I've watched a fair amount of Dream Team recently, and Beefcake on average only wrestles 25% percent of the match while Hammer does all the heavy lifting
