Fantastic

Who's next tonight, Pedro Morales? Bob!

So, should we expect to hear "Real American" on Raw some time in the next few weeks?

The band Hogan was in during the 70s was called Ruckus. I've seen a picture of them before, but couldn't find it online. Apparently he was also in a band called Koco: Also, this:

I think a Super 8 through history thread is in order.

7/26/87 in Toronto doesn't exist according to Cawthon. Here is what he has for that date: See that one James? The closest Toronto cards to that date were: and No Savage or Steamboat. Pretty weak cards actually.

Good thing I voted for myself.

Ugh, I was wrong. Swede is in the Battle Royal on disc 6.

I love the finished product on PTBN. Great job Brad! This was fun and I had a great time.

Just checking results from Sports and Wrestling. He toured Japan for the rest of 79. Some interesting tag partnerships there. Six-man teams with Dusty and Volkoff (10/27/79), with Dusty and Patterson (10/28/79), and regular teams with Pedro Morales (!), Mr. Saito, Patterson, and Tiger Jeet Singh (!!). Was back in JCP by at least 1/2/80.

Just checked a few things: No more Hammer until 1981 disc 5 No more Swede until 1982 disc 7 (special ref in the Backlund/Graham MSG Lumberjack match)

Swede Hanson in 79 sucked, so let's remember the better times (pictured left). Fuck yeah, Gary Hart's clothes!

This will not make much sense now, but consider it a sneak preview for Titans #5. Enjoy guys:

This guy?

Thanks rovert!

Who is your avatar, Matt? Bobby Davis?

That was a really good match. The September 78 match was on one of the dreaded untelevised cards, so it looks like the answer is no.

I don't think you have to be too knowledgeable of the era to enjoy Titans. It's mostly Sorrow impersonations, pointing out funny-looking fans at ringside, and jokes about Bruno's rug.

Superstar/Dusty at MSG is one of my favorite guilty pleasures in wrestling. I think if you just sit back and soak in the atmosphere, the heat, and the sheer 70sness of the spectacle you may enjoy it more. These are not workrate matches. Same goes for the Bruno matches. Edit: OK, the Bullrope match sucks, no doubt. The Death match was actually the earlier of the two matches in the series

I think I'm the only person who liked that match. I'll have to watch it again some day, but I thought it was pretty good the first time. I'm a big mark for heated atmosphere and MSG had a special kind of buzz that night, with many likely feeling they were going to see history and Bob come out of the match NWA champ. I thought the match was well-worked and dug the headlock spots. But I am an unabashed Backlund lover.
