RCS1988

How about rebooking Starrcade 94 with the battle bowl concept, with the winner facing Hulk Hogan at the end of the show. You have 5 tag team matches, T Sullivan, US Title Match, Tag Team title match, Battle Bowl, and winner of Battle Bowl vs. Hulk Hogan for the WCW title.

This could probably turn into a podcast called the TOHW. Titans of Houston Wrestling.

I was expecting the name how many guys that were managed by such and such manager for the first round.

With all the wrestling stuff you have on VHS, DVD, etc, do you keep a stats document of the wins you have of each wrestler, including no contests, time limit draws, Double Countout, & DDQ. I keep a document of all the wins of many superstars I have in my collection.

I found out that Jos Leduc defeated Brady Boone in a try out match from the 3/19/88 Superstars taping. There was a photo posted on WWE.com of Leduc Boone, and my friend, who found the photo was able to recognize where it was from.

Yeah, the Texas Red & Bragging Rights questions got to me, because had I got them right, I would have won, but it was a fun episode and I know I will be back again.

Your opinion on the Tom Magee Arn Anderson match from December 1988.

Will see. You might beat me, but I promise you, you will be in for a battle. If I do end your undefeated streak, it will be like when Ken Jennings finally lost on Jeopardy. I'd like to hear Johnny Sorrow, Parv, and the Titans Crew analyze the Magee Arn match for a podcast and their opinion on it. Meltzer never got info or results from the taping where the match took place at, because no one ever realized it happened till about earlier this year.

If you never seen it, it's rare. It only aired on French TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZYJtgT_h5U&feature=youtu.be

Did any of the observers around this time mention that Monsoon suffered a mild heart attack?

Did this issue mention the death of Leroy Brown?

Impressive episode. Can't wait to make my appearance.

Listening to the first episode, awesome thus far. I can't wait till my appearance on a future episode.

I want to be a contestant on Brainbuster.

Well the WWF had 4 TV tapings in March 1991, so if Charles wants to discuss that, I have no problem with that, or WCW.

I sent you a PM.

The Varsity Club locked Sting, JYD, & Michael Hayes in the locker room, but got out at the end and brawled with both teams.

Anyone know what Observer first mentions the character of Outback Jack coming to the WWF, and which Observer is the last mention of Outback Jack, like Outback Jack has left the WWF. I wonder if he wrestled any dark matches at TV tapings prior to his 2/7/87 Superstars TV debut.

Meltzer said he had a massive heart attack while showering. I always wondered if he was supposed to get the ECW title, or when he was moved to Smackdown, he would get a WWE title match with Triple H. I met him in 2011, and he was a very nice person.

Good stuff.

Did Dave give a run down of the feature matches from the 3/19/88 & 3/20/88 Superstars & Challenge tapings?

Good show. When you do Clash January 1991, Sid Vicious was originally supposed to face the Junkyard Dog at that January 1991 Clash, so make note of that when you do that show, because I'm sure Meltzer mentions why JYD didn't want to job to Sid Vicious.
