Posted April 18, 20169 yr comment_5744940 Since I have something in the works I want to hype and didn't want to start a thread for it just yet, or tack it onto some random podcast thread, I thought I'd create a general PWO-PTBN hype thread for any network personality who wants to advertise any upcoming pods for whatever reason. My upcoming project, which was alluded to in the Mystery Titans Theatre thread today, is an ambitious attempt at a solo podcast. I've long been fascinated by the history of wrestling at Madison Square Garden, and instead of shoehorning it into an episode of Titans of Wrestling (returning soonish, we promise!), it recently dawned on me to just go for it and do a solo history podcast on the subject. Anyway, more will be revealed shortly, but here is a trailer video for it I put together yesterday.
April 18, 20169 yr Author comment_5745141 Well yes, his website is always of great value, but the reference I use most is Scott Teal's History of Professional Wrestling #3: Madison Square Garden, from 1999. Cawthon's site (and book too I think) only contains post-1962 results, whereas Teal's goes back all the way to the original MSG in 1880
April 19, 20169 yr Author comment_5745647 And for those perhaps a little overwhelmed by the recent trend of epic, prog-podcasts, At the Garden promises to be your lean, three-chord punk band alternative. No episodes longer than 45 minutes!
April 27, 20169 yr Author comment_5748929 At the Garden Series Preview: Wrestling at MSG, 1880-1938 will drop Friday, May 6 on the PWO-PTBN Network. This brief history will cover such figures as "The Solid Man" William Muldoon, George Hackenschmidt, Frank Gotch, Ed "Strangler" Lewis, "The Golden Greek" Jim Londos, Danno O'Mahoney, and many others, as well as the story of three different buildings known as Madison Square Garden. Look out for it fans!
July 11, 20169 yr Author comment_5759039 Dropping on Wednesday, Titans of Wrestling #63 is the first of a periodic multi-part look at the history of Western Canada's Stampede Wrestling promotion. Kelly brings aboard his longtime friend Travis (Lucha Afterground podcast https://soundcloud.com/lucha-afterground) to host, and they reminisce about the wrestling they grew up on living in Calgary in the late-80s. This episode features the bookends of the territory, with a look at both the oldest footage available-from April 1961-and the symbolic end of the story, the Canadian Stampede main event from 1997. So in the meantime and in between time, get ready for Titans #63!
July 20, 20169 yr Author comment_5759987 At the Garden returns Friday, July 22 with a look at Bruno Sammartino and the years 1966-1971. In two different Gardens, a turbulent time for McMahon Sr sees Bruno take on Baron Scicluna, Toru Tanaka, George Steele, The Sheik, Ivan Koloff, and a host of others. Don't miss it fans!
September 7, 20169 yr comment_5767082 Do you remember this? Do you know the whereabouts of this man? Was Sean Mooney really that bad? Tomorrow. On PWO-PTBN. Tune in for this brand new show!
September 20, 20169 yr Author comment_5768980 Better late than never, At the Garden returns Friday, September 23 with part 3 of my look at Bruno Sammartino, this time covering the years 1972-1977. This was an extremely successful period for wrestling at MSG during a dark time for New York City, as Bruno regained his throne and faced off against Spiros Arion, Ivan Koloff, Superstar Graham, Stan Hansen, Ken Patera and many, many others. Check it out!
