That was some misleading numbering on my part -- Regal vs. Buck is the clear 150! Just put them in reverse order for some reason, so I checked my ballot to make sure. Martel vs. Brad is not my favorite, but it was hardly bad. Regal vs. Buck was 2 minutes of boring work drawn out to 20+ minutes and I'm still mad I sat through it.

I wonder if the Regal/Buck match will be a more decisive 150 match than that Butch Reed/Dick Slater No DQ match that ended in a DQ on the Mid-South set. Sad I can't go back and revisit that thread now.

Regal and Buck was probably going to finish last no matter what, but in light of the Buck molestation charges there damn sure isn't going to be anyone cutting him any slack or going to bat for an admittedly low level match like that now.  I still contend there were worse matches on the set (though only a couple), but it's hard to argue against a match that pits a serial sexual abuser against the worst wrestler in AWA history

Wasn't sure where to put this besides here. Getting caught up on listening to the Wrestling Party podcasts, just wanted to correct one error that came up in Podcast #18. Col. Debeers was not the original manager of the Truth Commission in WWE, the Commandant was played by a South African actor named Robin Smith who got the job as a friend of Bret Hart.

I found out about the deadline 5 days ago and I realized that I watched the first four discs and still haven't watched the rest. Since then I have watched 3 more discs and I will get it done, no matter what! 

 

My list may be weird, due to memory, but it will be there.

I downloaded this just now to help put my ballot together.  Haven't participated in a vote before but I just need to complete the 150 ranking ballot portion right?  I see other sheets to rank tag teams and feuds.

 

 

Once you fill in the 1-150 portion of the ballot, the tag team/feud portion of the ballot will fill themselves in.

Guys keep watching!!! Rippa and Dean are hard at work on trying to give us the easiest access to the old forum at least as a view file. This is a small hiccup. 

 

The final date to turn in an AWA ballot is extended to October 1st because of the problems in salavaging the old forum. That is the final deadline extension and we will have the results shortly after.

You'll be doing a results podcast, I assume?

As long as Chris Harrington is on board, of course.

I am looking forward to it.The only hitch will be that I'm going on vacation with my wife from 10/3 to 10/8. Either we'll record late from a hotel room in Disney, something on 10/2 (which is possible) or after I get back.
