Bisch talking on one of those panel shows that used to air on classics. Have you ever watched The Rise and Fall of WCW dvd that came out a while back? Mike Graham takes credit for numerous things like getting rid of the Clashes and putting on more ppvs, moving WCW into Disney, getting Hogan into WCW and for convincing Hogan to turn heel. I kept waiting for him to say that he wanted Austin to be a rebel badass in WCW and that he was blocked from signing Rocky Johnson's kid by Bill Watts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Hero Morganti Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I am pretty sure I watched it, but Bisch was saying that stuff pre network and before that doc came out. I used to "acquire" the legends round tables to watch before bed... With that being said.... I am not surprised by Mike Graham taking credit for anything lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not surprised by Mike Graham taking credit for anything lol Oh I believe Bisch's account of things here. I was just saying it's hilarious to hear Graham basically taking credit for damn near everything positive that happened in WCW back then. It's worth watching the doc to hear him take credit for initiating the move to get Hogan and for moving to Universal Studios because they were losing money on house shows. I don't think Bisch has ever heard those claims but I'd love for him to do a watchalong of this doc on his podcast just to see his reaction to Graham.

Beech27 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I’m not sure anyone could have balanced the role of unimpeachable ace/bully with selectively-timed bumping/stooging as well as Jumbo did during this period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Early 90's Jumbo might be as good as wrestling ever got, for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I am slacking. Here's the first of Tuesday's. Jose Arroyo vs Pierre Bernaert, JIP, we just get a bit: This is the kind of thing I enjoy to watch at least? Here's Arroyo's idea of revenge (I should have looped this but I am obviously terrible at making gifs): Bernaert goes to the shoelaces to try to escape a hold! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Meanwhile... This "match" was pretty fun though nothing must see beyond a couple of gifs. Weird how Yoshihiko's work rate and execution change so much... Not one of its best outings. Edited June 8, 2020 by Oyaji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Second match is Jo Labat, he of the cool short shoulder blasts vs Ami Sola who we've seen a bunch of. It's a technical babyface match and a good one at that: Very fun escape: This is one way to block a monkey flip: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, my friend, is "jetlag": scholar, gentleman, man with a great youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoNjepArxXAVWnk13JF9v6A) and in this with us on the Segunda Caida reviews. In general though, I'm happy with anyone reposting anything I put together because I want these things to be seen but don't actually want to run a wrestling twitter account. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Last match this week is a war between Inca Peruano and Jacky Corn. Peruano was so great because he could marry mean shots and heeling it up with stuff like this: I'm not sure anything could sum up this match quite as well as this; look at the disdain that Corn has for Peruano after hammering the leg: Couple of examples of mauling, but I don't want to make this too long otherwise. And Peruano mauling post-escape: Corn could beat the crap out of guys with his uppercuts: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
