August 27, 201510 yr comment_5695200 I have no idea if I've ever seen that Cam Am vs Dream Team match. I need to find time for that. I watched an 84 Robinson vs Martel match earlier (from 84, so I don't think it's the few 83 ones I've seen) and didn't love that, so I'm up for a Martel match I'll really like.
August 27, 201510 yr Author comment_5695231 It's a sensational match, only topped IMO by Dream Team vs Santana and Steamboat as far as WWF matches I've watched for the show so far go
August 28, 201510 yr comment_5695329 Listening right now, thanks for putting in one of my suggestions in Davey/JYD vs Harts. Not an essential match on anyone's list but good fun for sure. That Can Ams/Dream Team match was superb, thanks for putting me onto it.
August 28, 201510 yr comment_5695418 I won't ever defend Demolition vs Powers of Pain, but I will defend the Twin Towers series and the Brainbusters series and I love the MSG Colossal Connection match.
August 28, 201510 yr comment_5695436 I really hate Akeem. Fuck I forgot about that series. Detour to Crockett or All Japan both before and after that series, may be necessary for my sanity, Kelly.
August 28, 201510 yr comment_5695506 Marty, were you an angry man on this episode? You must have dropped at least 20 F bombs in a 2 hour span. I usually very much enjoy your analysis of the matches, but thought it took away from the flow of what you were trying to say.
August 28, 201510 yr Author comment_5695545 Don't mistake Marty's unbridled enthusiasm for crass vulgarity ☺
August 28, 201510 yr comment_5695552 I've never heard of this Rockers vs Rougueaus match Marty is hyping to the moon. What's the date on it?
August 28, 201510 yr Author comment_5695559 I think this is it http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x32d1t8_fabulous-rougeau-brothers-vs-the-rockers-london-arena-10-10-89_sport
August 28, 201510 yr Author comment_5695560 Or this http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xsr76_rockers-vs-rougeau-brothers-10-13-8_news I think I've only seen the former
August 29, 201510 yr comment_5695613 I have only seen the London match and I stand by the hype, but I know how controversial and polarizing the match is. Oh Magpie, yeah when I am excited I tend to say Fuck quite a bit. I am very rarely angry. So no I was not angry. They are happy Fucks not angry Fucks so I hope that mollifies some of your concerns.
August 29, 201510 yr comment_5695684 I'm a huge fan of Martel on the whole. The slingshot splash is a thing of beauty for sure. Great show as always, I enjoy the dynamic you two have. It's fitting that the two of you do a tag team-focused podcast where you both bring different stuff to the table and play off of each other so well. It's almost lie it was by design or something.
August 29, 201510 yr Author comment_5695694 Thanks a lot. If nothing else, we want the show to be a fun listen
August 30, 201510 yr comment_5695888 One's Bret. One's Neidhart. It is not nice to call Kelly, Anvil!
August 30, 201510 yr comment_5695966 Yes!!!!!! A King Diamond mention!!!! I already loved the podcast, but that put my Danish heart over the moon!!!!
August 31, 201510 yr comment_5695968 Yes!!!!!! A King Diamond mention!!!! I already loved the podcast, but that put my Danish heart over the moon!!!! All Hail Satan! Yes Hail Satan!
August 31, 201510 yr Author comment_5696095 Actually, the most accurate comparison would be one of the classic WWWF/WWF "old man - young man" teams. Specifically, since Marty stood up for one half of the team on this show, and I'm and old school guy at heart, we are 1978 WWWF tag champs Dom DeNucci and Dino Bravo
September 2, 201510 yr comment_5696519 I also have pretty similar hair to Dino in that picture. I am not going to be setting any bench press records anytime soon.
