Ok now you gotta watch the Pat Rose match and do a comparison of who did a better job carrying the green guy.

It was fun, but man did Killer Brooks poop up the match, he is the fucking worst. The one with Fritz Von Erich is really great although it doesn't have a finish

Gary Hart: "legends like Killer Brooks" - a quote from his book. Sure thing, Gary.

Killer Brooks is such a weird case. Anytime I've seen anyone who was in the business like Gary Hart, Mark Nulty, James Beard etc write about him in a book or on wrestlingclassics.com it's filled with nothing but praise about how he's a great hand and can lead anyone to a good match. But I've never seen anything even CLOSE to a good match from Killer Brooks. He's the shits.

 

One of the most hyperbolic wrestling commentary moments I can remember is Gordon Solie on an episode of 1983 Georgia Championship talking about a Killer Brooks vs. Johnny Rich TV match as something that could "main event any arena in the world"

Piper and Brooks in Portland had a good Dog Collar match I believe.

Just about every shitty wrestler with a lengthy career has ONE match you can point to and say it was good. But none of them get some kind of reputation as a great hand who can carry anyone and everyone.

Goc you said you've never seen a match with Brooks sniffing good. I was just pointing out one worth watching.

Need a little help here guys. I have a great ladies match featuring Debbie Combs vs. an opponent with the last name of Purcell - something like that - anyone have a first name on her? I would love to release that match tomorrow.

Prissy Purcell

Kris Z:

 

I can't believe that I've never heard of PRISSY PURCELL. And I know everybody!

She worked a lot of Bruiser in Indianapolis

Thanks very much!

By the way. Because of the high cost for outside development of the ROKU App - we have brought this project in house again. No other option. So what we are hoping to get finished - hopefully by the time I get back from Japan - is a very basic ROKU App that will at least get us up and running on ROKU - maybe not all of the matches at first but for sure the best / most watched ones - and we will improve it as we go along. That's the plan for now.

Better than nothing Bruce thanks for not giving up on it

I will be leaving for Japan on Saturday and will be back in the US late Thursday night. Let's all hope and pray that we have something basic developed upon my return. I assure you that my team is working on it.

I am hoping the long wait tonight means that something awesome will be getting uploaded

I think you will be very pleased about today's match and interviews . . . Please let me know how you like it!

Okay, yeah. Conway Jr vs Valentine was some pretty great stuff too. The first fall was back and forth with a lot of Valentine stalling and stooging and a king of the mountain that was full of brutal Valentine shots. There was one slow bit of pedestrian arm control from Conway but in general, it was all enjoyable. It ended with Valentine starting on the leg and the second fall was really good stuff. I wasn't sure what to expect from Conway here but he sold the leg really well, and there was a unique sense of struggle for him to come back that I really haven't seen in too many other matches. It was just paced differently. Instead of hope spots and comebacks, there was this constant flow of him trying to fight back through the pain while Valentine more or less maintained control. Greg was so good here at closing the distance between them and controlling the situation. He also had some really good and varied stuff with the leg. I loved how he just stood on it, for instance. They got pretty heated at times too. I'm curious to see what other people think about it. I liked it a lot. Valentine was made for a 2/3 falls structure and it's a shame we don't have more of those sorts of matches from him.

 

Post match is an interview from the following week setting up DVE vs Valentine for the Texas title. Bruce, please tell me we have that too.

We have the first two falls of the Valentine - David Von Erich match - and it's amazing. Third fall is on another reel. We will post the full match just as soon as we locate and transfer the third fall as I don't want to release a match that's incomplete. I will be headed to Japan first thing in the morning. When I return next Friday - let's hope and pray for two things:

 

1 - we found the third fall of the Valentine David Von Erich match - and

 

2 - the Roku App is ready.

 

I have also arranged for new matches to be uploaded to NWAClassics.com daily in my absence - but I won't be able to post the usual FaceBook announcements while I am abroad. So - I suppose you will have a daily surprise on the website for about a week!

I'm really glad to hear about the DVE match, Bruce. Thanks for the update. Safe travels to Japan. .

As soon as I knockout the ROH ppv reaction show. The Valentine match is on next.

Good. I did a terrible job summing it up.
