Going back and getting caught up on Arn’s podcast. Simply phenomenal as they go through old promos leading up to angles, etc by each month. Got me wondering; How long was NWA/WCW on the Super Station before Nitro? When Nitro started up, did they have a long history on national television to build off of?

Also, was WCW’s title lineage and company history something that continued off of the NWA or more of a strict break off schism?

Asking as someone who grew up a WWF kid, but retroactively enjoys the podcasts and matches on YouTube.

NWA wrestling (under the Georgia Championship Wrestling territory) was part of the original TBS Saturday evening broadcast when it became a superstation in 1976. The show changed its name to World Championship Wrestling in 1982, and after a brief fiasco involving WWF buying the time slot in the mid-80s, Jim Crockett Promotions took over the timeslot, and JCP was a direct lineage from GCW to what became WCW and Nitro.

I'm sure QT is just heeling...but it's still pretty funny

Wrestling was on the station in the early 70s, before the war. And during the war, both promotions had an hour of TV. That’s why GCW and later JCP had 605mas 2 one hour shows. 
 

I think Ron talked about Ted Turner originally putting wrestling on channel 17 on his podcast.

I dunno if anyone followed along when Conrad Thompson and Schiavone did the vast majority of JCP in 1986 last year. Apparently, JCP tried to keep a separate show for Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling and have the World Championship Wrestling show as adopted from Georgia. However, the MACW show was always 1 or 2 weeks behind WCW and basically became obsolete.

It’s weird in 85 when MACW and WCW had some split crews until around July.

Yo what the hell is this Teddy Hart documentary I am watching right now???

If it could only top one of Glenn Gilbertti's few positive contributions to the wrestling world, which was redoing Konnan's 2nd Mad One theme and singing "Oil of Olay, all day everyday". TBH I kinda wish he had did Psycho cause the dude is talking about owning a bus and a skeleton playing on a cello.

Sidenote: Speaking of music, I was today years old when I found out this wasn't a WWF/Jim Johnston creation

I only recently realized that "Psycho" was from Mad One/Filtered Souls and not done by Konnan himself

Unless Konnan's voice dropped a few octaves, then that definitely ain't Konnan.

Is this guy doing a Fake Sting/Bizarro Natural gimmick?

Rather than re-share your tweets that literally no-one else reads, lean into the gimmick and post a really unstructured list about why you hate Bryan Danielson, and why Penta doesn't taunt enough.

It's the artist formerly known as Hayabusa who I have on ignore for what he's said about me:

Frankly, one of the only people I don't like here.

Actually that's not a bad idea

 

I can spam lists in my posts such as

 

Why spamming photos tweets gifs doesn't count as ACTUAL conversation

 

Why spamming photos tweets gifs DOES count as conversations 

 

Why spamming lists doesn't count as conversation

 

Why spamming lists does count

 

Why quoting someone else just to say THIS is a valid talking point, instead of just writing out my own thoughts, which I don't have time for in between using this board as a social media site to get Likes and made up winner of the day awards

 

What's really fascinating is this "he's one of the few people I don't like on here" mention. By my DM's there's a gang of good bubbas who don't like Him but they're too polite to say anything, but I do get kudos messaged to my inbox every now and again which tells me some of the bubbas he does like, he's got ZERO clue that they can't stand him

 

And nope that's not my Twitter account, as little as I follow wrestling Why would I wanna write up a wrestling focused Twit account?

 

My actual Twitter account is all Critical Role/Dimension 20/LA by Night posts since thats the majority of what I watch when I'm not watching movies or premium cable shows

Fuck off. Go troll somewhere else.

Paul is a good dude and a friend. I’ve been lucky enough to have good conversations with him about life and things outside of wrestling. He is a very kind person and incredibly thoughtful.

If his or anyone’s posting style is annoying to you, just put him in ignore. It makes things so much easier, I have a person or two that I found annoying on ignore and it’s made my forum experience much more of a treat.

Also, the line about a bunch of people secretly not liking him was pretty low. Even if you felt he hurt you by saying he doesn’t like you, that was fairly callous. 

If we start hating meme and list posts, I’ll be ostracized and have no where else to turn.

Doubling down always works. Also, when you're in a hole, don't stop digging.

Natural is what I call an Asshole Test: If you don't like him you are an asshole.

[Shartnado]

More than 50% of the time when there are new profiles in this community, it ends up being someone from this boards past. This isn't the case, as it is a name change, not a "new" profile per se. Going on a personal vendetta against the most popular name on the board is certainly a choice. I'm sure it will go well.

ANYWAYS

Mox's model for the AEW game was finally revealed (no Wild Thing, but I had a feeling that would be the case):

FaAaAnTaSy FuN!

You got a Time Machine and a large Cup shaped trophy. Book an Eight person tournament. Who you picking and who faces who?

I'm kinda glad they included his old music. I still prefer his NJPW entrance music the most and Wild Thing is certainly fun, but I miss his old music a little bit.

Watched the January 1984 MSG show on the Peacock last night. Obviously what they did with Slaughter in 1984 was really good but Hogan/heel Slaughter in 1984 would have ruled so hard.

It’s a testament to something (pick something) that Slaughter pulled off a face turn so quickly and got years out of it (most of it outside the WWF). I guess calling a heel drill sergeant “Gomer” was about to run its course in the mid-80s.

I'm going to end up buying this game and annoying my daughter by stealing her Switch for a couple months.

There's an alternate time line where The Iron Sheik didnt loose the title and he and Slaughter's blood soaked war in the summer over the belt is the stuff of legend.
