Matt D Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Oof Martel vs Brad as worse than Regal vs Buck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbaugh Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I still think they put the Regal match on there to make us suffer. "We had to watch twenty of these." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanWaco Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Ballot: https://sites.google.com/site/chrisharrington/top80s_awa 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.

rainmakerrtv Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 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.

Grimmas Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either we'll record late from a hotel room in Disney, something on 10/2 (which is possible) or after I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
