Posted January 4, 20169 yr comment_5718581 Kris & David are joined by Rob Naylor (WWN Live) to discuss the week that was December 29, 1986 – January 4, 1987. We discuss the chances that Wrestlemania III gets cancelled because of Andre the Giant’s injury, Paul Orndorff’s shoulder issues, AJPW & NJPW gaijin wackiness, Jesse Ventura in Arnold movies, all sorts of territory goodness especially our love of Continental, & Rob’s love of Vladimir Petrov. This is a very fun show!!!!

January 5, 20169 yr comment_5718723 Add Winnipeg to the Jake/Hogan market list--there's a Jake promo for it out there. The strongest evidence in favor of the DDT Snake Pit existing (which I know isn't really that up for debate) is that in the Providence promo, Ken Resnick makes mention of Hogan taking powder to the eyes on the Pit and gaining revenge on Jake by doing the same to him in the clip shown. And we know they *did* do localized angles on occasion, though the only others I can think of are Killer Khan misting Hogan on another Snake Pit and Hillbilly Jim taking down Andre with the horseshoe on the interview podium. But those aired in Boston and NYC respectively, which is why those are in wider circulation.
January 5, 20169 yr comment_5718747 I ended up on Weird YouTube to find footage of Mitch Snow's finishing move (which seems like the mix of a judo throw and a powerslam). If you're unsure about weird YouTube, it's the videos cited in the JCP segment.
January 5, 20169 yr comment_5718797 That Ricky Steamboat "Sidekicks" appearance sounded so made-up, I'm shocked it actually happened. How is this not something that is constantly brought up when discussing wrestlers on non-wrestling TV shows?
January 5, 20169 yr comment_5718878 Without spoiling too much, the youtube lifestyle wrestling discussion at the end was the funniest thing you guys have ever done. I had to stop the podcast several times to avoid cracking up at work.
January 7, 20169 yr comment_5719342 You sure Dean Malenko refereed Hogan/Funk at SNME in Jan 86? Looks awfully like Hebner to me.....
January 7, 20169 yr comment_5719363 Without spoiling too much, the youtube lifestyle wrestling discussion at the end was the funniest thing you guys have ever done. I had to stop the podcast several times to avoid cracking up at work. That segment has to make the Best of BtS that Bix wants to put together either this past year or this current year.
January 7, 20169 yr comment_5719365 When you guys were talking about Hogan cage matches, he did have one with Muraco in the Garden that I'm pretty sure was pre WM2. I think I have it on tape somewhere but it was the classics 3 match Garden formula. It was the chain link type change. I'd have to search through my old recordings to see what the finish was exactly, but it wasn't over the top
January 7, 20169 yr comment_5719371 You sure Dean Malenko refereed Hogan/Funk at SNME in Jan 86? Looks awfully like Hebner to me..... I think I remember seeing a Steele vs. Savage (not from SNME) match that had Malenko as ref.
January 7, 20169 yr comment_5719372 You guys needed some sexy music in the background when you were reading the wrestling lifestyle stuff.
January 8, 20169 yr Author comment_5719395 Malenko reffed the Savage/Steele match that's right!!!! Hebner did referee the Hogan/Funk match.
January 8, 20169 yr comment_5719538 Without spoiling too much, the youtube lifestyle wrestling discussion at the end was the funniest thing you guys have ever done. I had to stop the podcast several times to avoid cracking up at work. I was going to complain about why there wasn't a Youtube playlist of this podcast but after the last hour I might be glad that we didn't get one
January 8, 20169 yr comment_5719545 I love the Hogan-Funk matches, I think we have 3 on tape (MSG, MLG, SNME). They work some tags with Dory and JYD that are pretty decent too.

I'd have to search through my old recordings to see what the finish was exactly, but it wasn't over the top It was MSG 21st June '85. Finish was Hogan and Muraco struggling at the door, and Hogan walked out after punching Muraco back into the ring.
January 8, 20169 yr Author comment_5719559 And the Hogan/Muraco match was a plotpoint for an episode of the NBC soap opera Another World
January 9, 20169 yr comment_5719721 Not sure if he was the Motor City Madman, but the name you guys were thinking of was Tombstone, not Doomsday. Was definitely CWF,not PWF though. Pretty sure Heyman was loosely affiliated with Humperdink as well.
January 10, 20169 yr comment_5719978 Halfway through now. I love that even though Rob and I couldn't look at wrestling more differently a lot of the times, there are things we both love, like the Demolition vs Brainbusters SNME match or the god damn Jam Slam. It's a travesty he couldn't get Mojo Rawley to do it though.
January 11, 20169 yr comment_5719992 Great episode. Rob's super funny. I just wished his connection was a bit better, as he faded out a bit at times and it was hard to here him. As a 12-yr old mark kid, I thought Funk was going to beat Hogan on that SNME. I thought he had him after the piledriver. As a former NWA champ, Funk made sense in getting the belt, but alas it was not to be.
January 11, 20169 yr comment_5720029 Great show as per usual, high points were the Memphis talk, Bam Bam's peak as a rookie and the gay youtube scene causing Kris to laugh like a school girl.
