That would go a long ways for their TV show. Or how about a really good curator? I’d love for them to move away from the status quo/bland rock and use more hip hop and electronic and experimental sounds. If you dig your heels in you can find an endless supply of great music already available from a wide range of independent performers from across the globe. Ppl who might really value the opportunity to be heard on a internationally viewed weekly program aimed at 18-35 year olds. 3 hours ago, OSJ said: On the other hand, the less said about Jimmy Garvin prancing around to "Sharp-dressed Man", the better. Totally disagree, I love Sharp Dressed Man as a theme, and loved Garvin’s Use of it. Almost as great as it’s use in the theme for Don Cherry’s Grapevine. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first show I saw him wrestle on featured him wearing an exact copy of Jeff Hardy's face paint but in black and white, so yeah. I mean Chessman has a Goldberg tattoo (no not THE Goldberg with his dong out tattoo but a tattoo of Goldberg's tattoo) and he used to be pretty respected so I don't think it's viewed as goofy as we probably think it's viewed.

MJF does has a good theme, with a recognizable opening now that he’s come out to it a few times. and he uses it in multiple promotions, so if you were watching him in MLW or CZW, you'd know his intro music by now Edited July 3, 2019 by Nice Guy Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, somebody has a tattoo of Goldberg with his dick out? Maybe it's the guy with the Hulk Hogan back tattoo and Goldberg is his chest piece.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that would be a mistake. This guy should be disliked by the fans. Don’t give the fans anything to latch onto by giving him a fresh coat of paint.

Tromatagon Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Joey Janela was hyping new entrance music going into the show, and apparently they fucked up and played his old entrance music by mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As did I, however, nothing much about Jimmy Garvin has aged well for me and I say that as a huge ZZ Top fan. Garvin was a great heel in WCCW, when he jumped to JCP and became a face he lost an awful lot of what made him cool. That, and he turned from good to incredibly formulaic and lazy almost overnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with much of this...his last great heel run was in 85 after leaving Dallas...he did some shots with Martel in AWA for the title and the awesome Garvins / Rougeau feud in Montreal...it was downhill afterwards.

HarryArchieGus Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) My Television region made JCP NWA impossible to follow on a weekly basis, so my exposure to Gorgeous Jimmy and his beautiful valet Precious was pretty random. I always thought his charisma jumped off the screen, and I wasn't sure whether to boo or cheer him. I'm sure you're analysis is accurate. I've seen some of the war with the Rougeaus in MTL and Von Erichs in Texas. Garvin also held the AWA tag titles with Steve Regal; which I also saw very little of, but did have their action figures, so I had some great imaginary battles with the Roadies and the Birds during the late 80s. I always loved finding the far more obscure to the LJN, at least in Canada, AWA figures. I had a Flair double pack with Zbysko as well. Glad we can all agree on the love for Double Z Top. I dig their 70s run, but Eliminator is still a go to. Also, I absolutely loved the 'Got Me Under Pressure' opening for Maple Leaf Wrestling here in Canada circa 1986.

I’m not as on top of my indie bands as I used to be but even I could source 20 good entrance songs from the ones I know that would cost next to nothing. Plus indie music these days covers a very wide spectrum of styles and isn’t just white dudes with beards and guitars anymore, although you’d have to be careful which ones had the money to mix well enough to be played in an arena. And if you can get a real music nerd there’s tons of forgotten songs from the 60s to the 90s you could probably get for a steal. (I just desperately want someone to come out to Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 FWIW- Jimmy Garvin vs David Von Erich was just an amazing angle. I loved Jimmy and Precious on the Von Erich Ranch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Jimmy and Precious on the Von Erich Ranch Yes indeed it was! Garvin was great when he was in World Class, I haven't seen nearly enough Montreal stuff, but I should seek it out as Ronnie Garvin is one of my all-time favorites, and I'd be delighted to see more energetic Jimmy Garvin stuff. I didn't get AWA regularly, but it seems like he was still good then. When he went to JCP I think he was just sort of bored with the whole deal. He put more energy into his entrances than he did into the matches themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 That, match up looks really cool on paper, but why is MJF teaming with Spears, when MJF is still in story Cody’s protégé? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeeeaaah...wait a minute here...That doesn't make any sense. Not to mention, MJF shouldn't be on pre-show matches anymore. If anything, MJF should be cutting promos on the pre-show to make you want to watch the full show to see him get his ass beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made me laugh pretty hard. I'm guessing MJF and Spears get into a fight during the match and Sammy takes the fall. Even still, it makes no sense for MJF to agree to this. Or, well, I guess maybe it makes sense if he would take the match to purposely fuck Spears over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) It’s funny because the Road to video brings up MJF getting into a heated confrontation with Spears, but no mention later why this match is happening. Cool recap of what happened at Fyter Fest though. Edited July 4, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I bet it gets brought up on commentary that the match was booked in advance before Fyter Fest and MJF tried to get out of it but couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will bleed over into the Cody feud but it is a little strange. They should've explained it with a small vignette in the Road To video.
