Posted December 24, 200519 yr comment_4195212 I was talking to Loss about this and i was concerned about the lack of discussion when it comes to old school wrestling. To be honest, anytime a topic comes up talking about older territories or even early WCW, there is usually a tepid response. We had a decent Mid South thread going for awhile but that was me, Loss, Tim Cooke and sek ramblin on. For awhile, it was just me and Loss posting our match reviews. EastCoastJ brought up World Class recently and that thread went nowhere also. So, would anyone like to hear more old school talk or am I the only one?
December 24, 200519 yr comment_4195231 I ignore them for the most part because I'm ignorant to the subject and don't want to get in the way.
December 24, 200519 yr Author comment_4195268 YEah, that was what I was concerned about. If there is no participation, there really isn't any point in posting them.
December 24, 200519 yr comment_4197702 Once the DVDVR Best matches of the 80's get around to those categories (which may be quite some time), I'd get involved in the discussion. Otherwise I don't have the footage outside of the WWF stuff and some fairly "standard" oldschool stuff to be able to discuss it at any length.
December 24, 200519 yr comment_4197981 I'm planning on buying the Wrestling Gold set and the St. Louis DVDs after Christmas. I'll be up for a lot of old school talk when I get those.
December 24, 200519 yr comment_4198080 A lot of it's the time of year too. I barely post anywhere this time of year because I'm so swamped between work and shopping. You guys know me, though. I'd call myself the oldschool guru if I was allowed to without being seen as pompous
December 24, 200519 yr comment_4198366 The Old School post are my favourite posts on any wrestling message board. I hope in the New Year to get the Mid-South and Memphis that Barnett has. I'd try to get into tape trading, but work doesn't leave me much time for dubbing and the VQ for most of my stuff isn't that great.
December 24, 200519 yr comment_4200931 One of the main reasons I like this board is that there is talk about old school stuff discussed by some hardcore fans. I love to see people spread their passion for the product and see if it spreads. Even if it's Memphis which I currently do not like I will want to read it. That's why I'm looking forward to the best match project - to see if my mind will change. I talked some here about Benoit vs Johnny Smith in the hopes that I could spread the love of their work around. Even though I don't believe I got any responses I know people read what wrote and hopefully I planted a curiosity seed in their head that will blossom in the future and force them to watch their said work. There's point to that just like there's point to anyone talking about oldschool wrestling. If nobody talks about it at all than nobody gets interested and nothing happens. Great work goes unaccomplished and that's a negative from anyone's book. On smarkschoice the love for Benoit and Smith managed to spread some. If I say had never written anything there maybe those matches would've been missed. And here once the best match project gets underway that love will be hopefully spread just a little bit more.
