Wait, I thought the table not breaking at Hell in a Cell was an intentionally brilliant spot in a match some proclaimed one of the greatest in the history of the known universe (I love Sasha and Charlotte but I will go to my grave thinking that match was one of the most overrated of all time) -
It's gone now but suffice to say if you listened to it, none of what transpired here with him would've come as any surprise
-
Yeah, just a bit

Muhammad Ali bio was great. Bios on Lord James Blears and Ed Francis (last issue) provide a great history of wrestling in Hawaii. Blackjack Mulligan and Mr. Fuji bios were also good reads

Makes you miss the glory days of jdw vs JVK

I don't mean heat wise, but perception wise going into the show

Sabu vs Taz was kinda the "real" main event, similar to a Hogan vs Rock situation. They had been building that match for well over a year
-
They're still in Toronto. That chant, or Bret Hart honestly, doesn't mean shit outside of Canada in 2016

http://placetobenation.com/titans-of-wrestling-73-the-stampede-territory-part-7-109-1016-1987-tv/ Kelly and Travis are joined by their old friend Rick Lee, a DJ at Jack FM in Vancouver (who graciously allowed the show to be recorded from his studio at the station), to reminisce about their days as young wrestling fans in Calgary. At the same time, the boys examine two TV shows from October 1987, during one of the last hot periods for the territory Discussion includes -A look at the legendary heel stable The Karachi Vice -Heaps of praise for Brian Pillman and Owen Hart...and Hiro Hase! -Jim Davies as an extremely poor substitute for Ed Whalen -Makhan Singh's hatred for the state of Montana -And much, much more!

So very sad and horrible. RIP

At least you're getting this now. Vancouver has been shut out since 1998, Calgary since 97

http://placetobenation.com/titans-of-wrestling-72-the-stampede-territory-part-6-622-727-1979-tv/ Kelly and Travis bid a bittersweet farewell to the 1970s as they examine the final two episodes pulled from the WWE Network. Highlights include: -The wonderful mess that is Duke Savage -Stu Hart lacing up the boots to kick some ass one more time -Yet more awesomeness from Big Daddy Ritter, Dynamite Kid and John Foley -Awkward head shavings, a ladder match, more thoughts on Ed Whalen, and much, much more! Once again here is the link to the Stampede footage. Would love to hear peoples thoughts about it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV6RCTo_Cd0DBHLku6tpAj-ypzT3GFUj3

The truth is that Backlund had been on top for almost five years and the fans were clearly tired of him by at least as early as the summer of 82, and there was no need for conspiracies to replace him. Snuka's arrival as the hot new star played a part in Bob losing favor with the fans. In a way it's comparable to Austin and Hart in 96/97, except Bob declined the heel turn
