Token white guy?

Only two matches and three other segments announced

When Eddie sits next to Curt in the theatre

Having read Bill Watts' book earlier this year I'm enjoying your mid-south recaps

Earliest wrestling memory is seeing I think Rick Rude v Jake Roberts in my grandmothers basement. Also someone planning to waffle Macho man with a chair before he came through the curtain but Liz was walking ahead of Macho, some how disaster was adverted. So even though I ralely think of WWF/WWE as the best in wrestling it will always be home to me in some sense

I remember when 93000 people came to the rose bowl to see War Beast! Does The Rose Bowl even hold that many? It did that night?

Curious to see some of Dynamite's Japan run after reading Dynamite and Davey

WWF- Adrian Adonis vs. Bob Backlund Lumberjack Match 3/28/1982 - YouTube More Adonis, think the only other 80's Backlund match I've seen is him dropping the title

Because of course he is

Buddy Rose v Matt Borne - No DQ Lumberjack Match - YouTube Continuing down the Portland youtube rabbit hole, interested to see a pre-Doink Matt Borne after DSOTR

Doing coke and then having to sit for several hours seems horrible

The fajitas are people....there I said it

Bigelow also did the 1st three

I certainly see where Buddy Rose rubbed off on HBK From The AWA Jesse Ventura & Adrian Adonis v Jim Brunzell & Greg Gange The High Flyers vs The East West Connection (03/01/1981) - YouTube

Hey now shit kicking rednecks has never been a sucky wrestling gimmick ok put him with Lee Moriarty in the tag division

I totally got Night of The Hunter vibes from Miro talking to God,

I like Julia as the playground bully who knows she can hid behind he big bro

Lance Storm first three

More Portland footage, interesting to me as Portland is kinda one of those territories that time forgot (aside from MJF'sBetter than Piper in Portland comment)

been mulling this over in my brain for a bit. And I've come to the conclusion that "over without the belt" is a dated concept. Now its always a plus to an act that can get hot without a title, but back in the day Hogan wasn't defending the title regularly on TV so you had to pay to see him on the A house show loop, but you also needed some who could be "over without the belt" like a Piper or a Dusty to headline the B house show loop, obviously no one is running multiple house show tours concurrently anymore.

That Collison Cowboy award must have been made of lead. Reminded me of one of Andrade early AEW matches where after kick out of a top rope brain buster someone jobbed to an ipad. Other than that really fun show, loved The Workhorsemen getting a bit of time. Great main event, Nice and violent, usually when WWE does these match they feel "sterile" and safe none of that here, Julia continues to impress

Kinda irks me that the one ROH who never seems to sniff AEW tv is Athena

last time i checked out NXT there seemed like a million people on the roster
