Jose Lothario: A World Cast Tribute
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/jose-lothario-a-world-cast-tribute Pete, Kelly and Johnny get together for a look at the life and times of recently departed wrestling legend, Jose Lothario (December 12, 1934-November 6, 2018). The boys discuss Jose's career from the 50s to the 80s and then look at a sampling of some choice cuts, featuring battles against The Great Mephisto, Gino Hernandez, Hector Guerrero and others. Jose was an all-time great babyface performer and this show celebrates his legacy in professional wrestling. RIP

WWE Survivor Series 2018
That shit was great. Ronda leaving slowly all cut up and giving a death stare to the fickle smark crowd was the cherry on top

Funny thing about Warrior and Kerry is that when Kerry debuted as the Texas Tornado I can remember a friend of mine telling me that he was really Warrior without makeup. I wasn't watching much wrestling at the time and didn't know he meant Kerry because he just called him "Texas Tornado". When I finally saw him wrestle a few months later I realized my friend had no idea what he was talking about, but he had probably already figured that out anyway

Comic books and Manga Thread
I fell in love with Silver Age Marvel through Lee-Ditko Spidey reprints from Marvel Tales in the 80s and it is really still my favorite era all these years later. Every time I lost interest in what was going on in comics I would go back to Lee-Ditko and Lee-Kirby and continue to dig deeper. So much great stuff

Is TNA the worst wrestling promotion in history?
I really liked Hogan vs Sting as well. I think it's the last TNA match I ever saw. Kinda underrated as a great moment. I believe it was Hogan's last singles match and it attempted to capture a Hogan vs Rock vibe, while also in a way righted the wrong of Starrcade 97. Hogan getting one last huge pop from the Philly crowd was great

Check out Lothario vs Bugsy McGraw from ep 13 (3/20/82) of WCCW on the Network. Killer little match

Worst Professional Wrestler Ever?
Yeah, Abby was awesome, one of the most real characters in wrestling history. What was he supposed to do, wrestle like Ric Flair?

Sane vs Baszler was great but the ref missing all the interference bugged me as someone who is a bit anal about logic

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4

Episode 48 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-48 March 5, 1983 (WCCW 62) SURELY getting destroyed by the Great Yatsu is finally, totally, without doubt the end for Good Ol' Al.

Also on the show... -Oh no, a NEW Kabuki music video -"The Kamala" is coming -Iceman Parsons continues to impress, as do Gorgeous Jimmy and Sunshine -And David vs "The Third Bird" Buddy Roberts in the main event!

RIP Don Leo Jonathan
Legendary big man known for great athleticism for someone his size. Mainly forgotten to time, as he last wrestled in 1980 and there isn't a ton of footage. He was a major star 50s-70s. Meltzer gives a brief overview of his career here. I'm sure the bio in the WON will be really good https://www.f4wonline.com/other-wrestling/mormon-giant-don-leo-jonathan-passes-away-267841
