King Solomon

Cactus Jack and Vince McMahon

Also, back in the day they would tape 3 episodes of each show in one taping, are you going away from that formula? Will the Supercards be close circuited as PPV wasnt really viable in 1983? Close circuiting all those cards may be a monumental task with all that goes into booking the locations and having the equipment set up.

I would love to see a babyface Butch Reed brought in. Also for an announcer if your in the market for another one-Rick Stewart out of Central States.

Any set venues for your Supercards? May I suggest Shea stadium for Summer Slam

Pete, Walter Payton went to Jackson State. Doug Williams was a Grambling guy tho.

Yes great show, entertaining as always. I have always been more of a Backlund guy than Bruno guy due to my taste in wrestling style. I love Backlunds power moves and dare I say athletic ability even Tho I know this is a worked sport lol!

WrestleMania 1 for me, Loved the way every match had something to get over. I liked the way not every star had to be on the card. The build up to this card was awesome in real time as I had become an avid fan in 1983 and watched the tv all the way to this point. Throw in the mainstream coverage and the excitement for this card leading up was great and unheard of in the business. I also enjoyed the card itself, not great form an in ring perspective but the atmosphere was electric. I did enjoy the work in the main event. I even enjoy this more than Mania 3.

When the Honkey Tonk Man won it

I think Sarge beat up Bob with the sawgger stick during his 83 run not his 80 run.

I advertise the Hell out of it!

What happened to Brick? I enjoyed listening to him too

kayfabe Memories was my first board back in 2000 I joined. It used to be an awesome board, the best in my opinion but then the site malfunctioned a few times and it hasn't been the same since.

Least Favorite-L.A. Sports Arena-drab and colorless, no personality. Favorite-Olympic Auditoreum-Nukes and crannys galore and great atmosphere, perect size, rabid crowds. I think a sellout was 11,000

Just listened to this pod cast. There is where I come out on the Bruno-Zybsko angle and who I looked on as the sympatehtic figure in this scenario. I know some of you sympathized with Larry. I go with Bruno for sure on this one. Larry seems to me in this angle like the typical person that has a "Victim Mentality" and blames other people for his lot in life. His first challenge to Bruno was cool but then he started getting whiny about why he is looked at as Bruno's protege. It comes across as kind of him being a "bitc$!". I see this type all too often in the Working world as I am in Management. They don't want to take responsibility for their situation in life or be accountable for their mistakes. Always want something given to them instead of earning it. I could easily see why a 1980 crowd would see Larry this way. These days he might be the face in the situation due to a change in morals as people today in general aren't as mentally tough and they would tend to side with a complaining malcontent rahter than a man like "Bruno" who works hard for everything he's got.. Larry was where Larry was because of him not Bruno (speaking in a Kayfabe sense). So like a little bitc$! he had to betray Bruno like a slimeball instead of be a "Man" about it. Great angle and both guys did a Knock out job playing thier roles. Regarding if Hogan was at fault for the issues he had Orndorff, Andre and Savage I only lay the blame for on the Savage deal. Never get in the way between a guy and his girl. Paul Orndorff was just jealous and insecure, I mean come on so Hogan wouldn't take your calls, what are you his girlfriend? I would laugh at a buddy if he started whining about me not taking his calls.

btw, I loved both Inoki-Backlund matches on that you tube set. Backlund made those matches and showed he could heel up when needed. Great power moves. To me it showed the big gap between Backlund as a worker and Inoki.
