Next Richard Land drop in a few days is more Sept 81 with maybe Bret vs Roach, two Wright/Kimura tags, and more Adrian Street. We shall see.

We’ll be back next week. Start of school slowed me down this week. I think there are still 5-10 “Shows” left to go through.

Insane sentence.

Probably a longshot but i was just thinking that I haven't seen many truly violent Hechicero matches so now I want to track this down. Anyone have a date/link?

I’d like to see a three month JetSpeed vs Bowens/Garcia feud with the latter frustrated that the fans decided to back the former.

He’ll almost certainly be in my top twenty. I hadn’t seen his 80s NJPW run before. Now I have.

Just on vacation this week. More to come.

His last act was one last grift on the stage of the RNC as an attempt for them to channel a nostalgic view of jingoistic hypermasculinity. He gets whatever he gets from people today.

Imagine what you'll know when you have another ten years of newspapers to work off of.

Honestly, my only regret in the entire project is not joining Twitter earlier. I knew someone was posting some of the gifs I was posting over on DVDVR and I was ok with that (though I'm doing it more comprehensively now) but just being able to talk to Phil in real time about these matches as we were going through them initially would have definitely helped us out. We were the blind men touching the elephant on a lot of it (and still are as Sebastian made a logical leap there from cagematch).

One of my favorite uncovered matches I’ve seen all year was a Roma vs Sharpe match. Just total commitment.

New Richard Land drop this month is 9/10/80 Hanover Le Grand Vladimir vs Karl Dauberger Achim Chall vs Caswell Martin Axel Dieter vs The Destroyer Ed Wiskowski vs Steve Wright Plus a pre-show ceremony of some sort.

It's a small sample size, but Joe vs Darby might be the best thing AEW ever did.

This is absolutely true. It was like being back with an old friend.
