San Antonio crowd came off really good on TV this week.....Dalton Castle again is amazing and the Alexander/Elgin match was pretty fun

No idea....

Mohammad Saad was a Detroit guy who worked all the shows in that area for a lot of the 80's and longer

Thatcher/Perkins was a tremendous match and early US MOTYC no doubt

I made the Podmass....I made it I finally made it Thanks Joe

I was going for mainly 2001-03 which in that time Memphis groups were pretty much dormant after WWE pulled the plug on MCW.

I get the whole point/counterpoint theme and yes it is good to have debate but this was intended to be a markout fest so that's why it was what it was. There are a lot of valid points regarding the negatives which do need to be touched on later

The Memphis stuff was August-September 1985 concurrent with AWA

Yeah I had done some IRON research but didn't get to it

Again so much stuff went uncovered that we will try and take care of later but most important is that WES ON THE BOARD

ROH came through and got them more money so they took it...good for them

This helps their case of not wanting to push him as the main guy

There will be at least one more of these shows down the road where we talk about the workers because there quite a bit we didn't talk about because of time restrictions.

I will tell you this....a lot of it ages better than ECW or almost all the late 90s did. One of the main reasons I think is most of the guys had short runs and were gone so we didn't see them get old

There is also this

Bock going over Hogan at Super Sunday

Matt you were around back then this was an important time in the wrestling business as so many new stars were born that are headlining today. It was an escape to what WWE was offering back then and being 21-24 it was just a fun time to be a wrestling fan.

Yeah but in 1988, Lawler was touring AWA champ and not in Memphis all the time

That's a win for him

Flair over Luger at Great American Bash 1988

Canary Yellow Vince was a really fun announcer so he got my vote.

Yeah I'm not even counting the multi-man matches

AJ is clearly #1 to me.....he's had good to great matches this year with this mixed bag Tetsuya Naito Hiroshi Tanahashi Will Ospreay Bobby Fish ACH Hanson Mark Briscoe Johnny Mundo Kota Ibushi
