On this week’s Wrestling With the Past, Will and Charles discuss the mighty cage match! First, we’ll talk about famous cage matches from the territory days including the Mid South Stipulations match, the Final Conflict, Lawler vs. Idol and more. We discuss the NWA/WCW cage matches including the greatest War Games matches and the beauty of Magnum TA vs. Tully Blanchard. We wrap up the show discussing the WWF, the blue cage, escape rules, and the Hell In A Cell. Bloody fun for everyone!

I watched Sheepherders and Jack Victory vs Fantastics and Taylor in the barbed wire cage when it aired, while making out with a chick doing some stinkfinger. Its the greatest.

Hey, Johnny, guess what no one wanted to know?

 

That.

 

Anyway, this will be fun. I'll be curious to see what you guys think is the best WWF blue cage era match. I actually sort of like most of the big Hogan cage matches for some reason. I think he was able to use it to play to his strengths, but I haven't seen most in forever.

This was my favorite podcast so far. I never knew the Starrcade 83 match was the first NWA title match in a cage. I thought you guys did an excellent job running down and analyzing all of the major cage matches.

It was a bloody affair all around.

Everyone go home. We have a winner. I remain so far beyond in my podcast listening. Maybe if traffic sucks this week I'll plow through more.

It wasn't the first one in a cage....Flair/Kerry immediately comes to mind and there are others.

was it first one with Jim Crockett promotions?

Looking at Graham's site, it says first time won in a cage.

Dude!

Yeah that is definitely true.

I guess my mind slipped completely on Flair vs Kerry, but Gordon Solie specifically said in the commentary that this was the first time the title had been defended in a cage, which is where I got that information.

The dean of wrestling broadcasting, the Walter Cronkite of wrestling ...

 

Gordon was also shitfaced drunk calling that match

Only 40 mins in so far, but this is already my favourite of these shows to date. Loss's Hayes / Jake comparison is very apposite and the first time I've heard anyone draw that comparison. I like to imagine that Will and Charles would just be having this chat on the phone and we are listening in.

 

Also, I'm kinda with you both on Gordy and think I've said it somewhere already. I had it in my mind that Will was really really high on Gordy, so this was surprising.

 

EDIT: Actually forgot I was just listening and talked out loud during the Garvin / Flair stuff.

My respect of you went up about 1000 times in one post....THAT is how you remember things....

 

BEST POST EVER...

 

Also, Parv, I think you thought that of Will due to him and Rob Naylor doing the show on Gordy.....and I wouldnt say Will was down on him, just more into Hayes...and I agree....look, I am a Gordy fan, but his promos were BAD.....and almost incoherant...

Do you know when the rss feed will be coming for this podcast?

I have had lots of complaints/concerns about not being able to load this on itunes. I also don't know what an rss feed is.

At the moment, the best we can do is to direct you to this app: https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/soundcloud/id336353151?mt=8 and follow the account.

 

RSS feeds aren't possible until we're accepted into their podcasting scheme, but all they've done is no-sell so far. Can't get a reply.

Soundcloud was sent another extremely pushy email today.

Thanks guys, for your effort.

Yes, working through the show so far...but great job and great effort..

 

Instead of Itunes...just download the .mp3 and put it into Itunes and load it...DONE...no need for any more issues!!

Smack, I agree. That is how I listen to most podcasts. Too bad we live in a world where people want it to be even more convenient than that and when we are competing with other podcasts just for people's time, that can make the difference in the shows that people listen to.

I actually strongly prefer loading the mp3 into a playlist, especially for longer podcasts, because if you need to charge / sync your iphone before you finish it, ituns will mark the podcast as listened to and then it won't show up the next time you go to it. Much easier to have the mp3.

That actually has my iTunes crashing because of cloud/match issues.
