Where the Big Boys Play #65 - Great American Bash 91
I'm about halfway through and just a note on the Gibson-Morton match. Gibson was coming off ACL surgery, which is the reason for the brace (not sure if it was mentioned, may have missed it) Additionally, Morton completely ruined his time in the York Foundation. Granted, these days I'd cry if I went to watch a Morton match and he didnt have his mullet, but he should have ditched the mullet and bandanas and went with a yuppie look. Him keeping the mullet was saying "Yeah, this angle isn't going to last, so I'm keeping my old look when they turn me back"

Modern Indie Wrestling
You see alot in Chikara most definitely. But Chikara is a total comic book (that's not an insult to the promotion)

Dave Meltzer stuff

It's gotten positive buzz and has already recouped its budget, which was at $100 million (and brought in close to $120 million). You'll see it between 130-150.It wasn't going to be Guardians or Transformers, but I think it's respectable

Who is the best announcer?
I gotta say, I love the love for Lance (and Memphis in General) on this board. What got me hooked was turning the channel one Saturday afternoon in 1981 and coming across the Tupelo Concession Stand Brawl 2. I basically never missed an episode for the next 16 years. I feel blessed that I got to see Lance week in and week out from 81 until the late 80s (when he left for WCW) and then returning in the 90s I remember my first card (Aug 3, 1982) and was bummed to find out Lance and Dave weren't at the Louisville shows. But reading over all of the great Lance quotes, can't argue with anything. He was the glue that held the show together week after week and someone you could trust with what he's saying

Are you just an Indy guy or do you play Legends as well?

I've never seen someone suck the fun out of Colt Cabana during a podcast...until Jim Ross. I bet Colt checked his watch 50 times during that interview

I figured one of the Olsens since Vikings/Mid West and Dalton was an East coaster. And yes, I play the game religiously (like Mad Dog). Have created and drawn hundreds of bootleg Legends

Yes, and I create many of the card stats for the LOW series. Cory or Chad?

The Jim Cornette Experience
Agree. Being in Louisville, I was able to attend many OVW events during the time frame. I think the entire storyline with Basham, etc was well built.

Yeah, what is the deal with Horner. I've seen a couple of Cornette shoots, but never recall the Horner hate. Anyone have the story?

Goc read my mind as I was posting. Good post

Interesting take. I never got to see Gilbert and Marlin, but you could compare to Tommy's team with Eddie Gilbert vs Buddy and Ken Wayne

Really, he wasnt a spotlight in that feud, so it was hard to tell from that time. He was well behind the pecking order of the SMW guys while in tag matches teaming with guys like Landell and Smothers.

When the term "playing Ricky Morton" has made it into the wrestling vernacular, this is the correct answer. By the way, here's a clip when the opposite occurs as Robert Gibson plays Ricky Morton

Memphis Wrestling Beginner Question
For my first post on the board, since I grew up with Memphis wrestling in Louisville, it should be Memphis related. Granted, if you can find any pre79 stuff, that's great. But I agree with the sentiments of the others. 1979 is a great year to start with since I really think the Tupelo Concession Stand brawl truly set the tone for Jarrett. If you start in the USWA, you are missing a ton of fantastic stuff
