Hollinger. Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Do we have any kind of timeline on this? I haven't, uh, started.
Curt McGirt Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 DVDVR made me do this http://venomesque.blogspot.com/
Zenjo Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 DVDVR made me do this http://venomesque.blogspot.com/ Or just wait until I write something that makes more sense to your life than guys in masks bleeding all over a shitty ring apron thirty years ago in a foreign country for a crowd of children, old people, and drunk parents. What's weird about that?
Curt McGirt Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Nothing, at least to me haha. I just have a lot of friends with no interest in reading that shit. But then... they can just not read it.
Zenjo Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Disc 8 Rankings 1. Pirata Morgan vs. El Dandy (Hair vs. Hair) (9/23/88) 2. Emilio Charles vs. El Dandy (Hair v. Hair) (7/28/89) 3. Javier Cruz vs. Hombre Bala (Hair vs. Hair) (6/30/89) 4. Mogur vs. Mascara Ano 2000 (Mask vs. Mask) (9/23/88) 5. Blue Demon, Blue Demon Jr. y Ringo Mendoza vs. Emilio Charles Jr., Pirata Morgan y Satanico (11/25/88) 6. Atlantis, El Dandy y Popitekus vs. Gran Markus Jr., Pirata Morgan y Ulises (5/26/89) 7. Angel Azteca, Atlantis y Blue Demon Jr. vs. El Dandy, Super Muneco y El Texano (3/24/89) 8. Emilio Charles, Fabuloso Blondy y Pirata Morgan vs. El Dandy, Atlantis & El Faraón (7/21/89) 9. Sangre Chicana vs. Satanico (5/26/89) 10. Super Halcon, Satanico y Masakre vs. El Texano, Lizmark y Rayo De Jalisco Jr. (3/17/89) 11. Popitekus, Angel Azteca y Steve Nelson vs. Emilio Charles Jr., Gran Markus Jr. y Masakre (6/9/89) Okay, so I may be partial to a splattering of blood and a short haircut. Throw in El Dandy for good measure.
goodhelmet Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 OK, we are aiming for an October deadline since that is when I plan on having the next set out.
goc Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Damn I'm gonna have to get on the ball when this comes in the mail then.
Zenjo Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Disc 9 Rankings:1. Atlantis y Satanico vs. MS-1 y Tierra Viento y Fuego (Hair/Mask vs. Hair/Mask) (9/22/89)2. Atlantis, Mascara Sagrada y Super Astro vs. Hombre Bala, Pirata Morgan y Verdugo) (September 1989)3. Blue Demon Jr., Super Astro y Mascara Sagrada vs. El Supremo, Espectro Jr. y Blue Panther (10/6/89)4. Blue Panther, Emilio Charles Jr. y Hombre Bala vs. Blue Demon, Javier Cruz y Hombre Sin Nombre (8/4/89)5. Super Astro, Atlantis y El Faraón vs. Fuerza Guerrera, Blue Panther y Emilio Charles (8/18/89)6. Jerry Estrada, Ary Romero y Rick Patterson vs. Javier Cruz, Eddy Guerrero y El Dandy (10/6/89)7. MS-1 y Maskare vs. El Dandy y El Satanico, (8/11/89)8. All Star, El Dandy y El Texano vs. Espectro Jr., Jerry Estrada y Rocky Star (10/13/89)9. El Dandy, Apolo Dantes y Eddy Guerrero vs. Emilio Charles Jr., Pirata Morgan y Ary Romero (9/29/89)10. Jerry Estrada vs. Javier Cruz (Hair vs. Hair) (10/20/89)11. Chavo Guerrero, Cien Caras y Mascara Ano Dos Mil vs. Lizmark, El Satanico y Rayo De Jalisco Jr. (10/20/89) Earth, wind and fire are no match for water. The Hair/Mask match was the best on this disc by a long way.
Zenjo Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Disc 10 Rankings: 1. El Dandy vs. Emilio Charles Jr. (12/1/89) 2. Emilio Charles Jr., MS-1 y Tierra, Viento y Fuego vs. Atlantis, El Dandy y Mascara Sagrada, (11/24/89) 3. El Brazo, Brazo Del Oro y Brazo Del Plata vs. Hombre Bala, Pirata Morgan y El Verdugo (11/10/89) 4. El Brazo, Brazo Del Oro y Brazo Del Plata vs. Hombre Bala, Pirata Morgan y El Verdugo (10/27/89) 5.

Fuerza Guerrera y Rocky Star vs. All Star y El Hijo Del Santo + Fuerza Guerrera vs. Rocky Star (12/1/89) 8. Pirata Morgan vs. Brazo De Oro (11/17/89) 9. Pirata Morgan vs. Ken Timbs (12/8/89) That completes the set with a good final disc, particularly Dandy vs Charles. I thought that the quality level through the discs was more even than the other 80's sets I've seen. Certainly it was an enjoyable set to watch, so thanks once again to everyone responsible for putting it together.
Zenjo Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 This is the 4th 80's set I've completed, although only the 2nd that I get to vote on. Judging by the lack of discussion it will probably have the smallest voter turnout so far. That would be a shame as it's one of the better sets. There are some matches I'll hopefully get around to rewatching before deadline time. Here are my current top 15 in chronological order: Satoru Sayama & Gran Hamada vs Perro Aguayo & Baby Face (4/13/80) MS-1 vs Sangre Chicana (Hair vs Hair) (9/23/83) Sangre Chicana vs Ringo Mendoza (10/28/83) Mocho Cota vs Americo Rocca (1/27/84) Gran Cochise vs El Satanico (9/14/84) Americo Rocca vs El Talisman (3/29/85) Espanto Jr vs El Hijo Del Santo (Mask vs Mask) (8/31/86) El Hijo Del Santo vs Negro Casas (Mask vs Hair) (7/18/87) Arandu vs Guerrero Negro (Hair vs Hair) (?/88) El Hijo Del Santo vs Espanto Jr (4/10/88) Pirata Morgan vs El Dandy (Hair vs Hair) (9/23/88) Javier Cruz vs Hombre Bala (Hair vs Hair) (6/30/89) Emilio Charles Jr vs El Dandy (Hair vs Hair) (7/28/89) Atlantis & El Satanico vs MS-1 & Tierra Viento y Fuego (Hair/Mask vs Hair/Mask) (9/22/89) El Dandy vs Emilio Charles Jr (12/1/89) So I may have a slight preference towards Luchas de apuestas and title matches.
soup23 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 1984 EMLL doesn't get talked about enough as one of the great all time promotion years. By my count, they had 14 ****+ matches and stuff like Koshinaka/Satanico and the MS1/Chicana rematch right under that clip. I can only imagine how well the year overall would place if all available footage was out for the masses to see.
Graham Crackers Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I figure I should post this here for people who don't post on PWO: That's the El Santo farewell match at El Toreo from 1983 that was clipped in the extras but here it is in full. The footage is cool though the match is a tad disappointing. Solitario vs Perro Aguayo is awesome and the atmosphere is great but nobody else really shines and the match itself is only two falls, both of which end via DQ. Disappointing booking for such a big match.
goc Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I don't know why I can't get motivated to watch any more of this set. I really enjoyed Disc 1 but that's as far as I have gotten. I really want to submit a ballot though because I've never got one of the sets and not finished the ballot.
lovchunky Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Just turned in my ballot. Thought I should bump this in case anybody is looking for the info: I was reminded that I'm months overdue for creating a lucha spreadsheet. My bad! Here's a quick version (with the latest error corrections):https://sites.google.com/site/chrisharrington/mookieghana-prowrestlingstatistics/dvdvr_80s_lucha/lucha_1980s.xls Send your finalized ballots to [email protected]
newtalkingwall Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 When is the deadline? Halloween? I'm re-watching stuff as much as possible as this is really difficult to rank outside of the top 15. I think I'm going to end up switching stuff around up until the day of the deadline.
Graham Crackers Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I've been waiting for more people to catch up and post more. I'd like to rewatch some of this stuff after hearing some new opinions.
Curt McGirt Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Same here. I did flip through one disc a week or two back, and saved all my initial reviews so at least I got farther than I did on New Japan. The spreadsheet might be a trial but I'm forcing myself.
Matt D Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I'm not going to finish because the Lucha set inspired me to watch a lot more lucha that wasn't the lucha set. Can you guys still call that a win or what? By the time I really got my sea legs, I was around disc five and I'd need to rewatch everything if I wanted to even come close to having a ballot and I just don't have time to do that.
goodhelmet Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I pushed it back to Christmas so you guys should have time. I am also going to restart the viewing parties to help me get through the set so there is that. 1

djhaigh Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 So did I miss the deadline or has it been pushed back again?
goc Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Ballot is sent in!

Curt McGirt Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Fuck, I'll get mine in before New Year's, I promise. Let me just figure out how the spreadsheet works.
