Mookieghana Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 BTW, if you're listening to the podcast and following the results you make say, HUH? I got ballot #40 AFTER we recorded the podcast so I updated the results and a couple matches swapped places - nothing big, but some tiny changes.

tim. Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Cool stuff. I didn't watch for this but will probably get this eventually since it seems a lot of the high ranking matches aren't online. 40 ballots strikes me as quite a success given the problems with the forum.

cubbymark Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Is there an RSS feed for these podcasts? I despise iTunes interface, and I can't seem to find it on iCathcer. Furthermore, I am not a fan of the Soundcloud interface, and it always seems to crap out on me every 5-10 minutes when streaming via WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayton Jones Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 You guys crushed it with this podcast. The four of you had a great chemistry (although I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss Phil) and I could have honestly listened to another hour of y'all shooting the shit about AWA. It was a lot of fun and I don't think Will said "Fuck this match" even once. I of course got a kick out of my one explicit shout out for a Doug Somers set, which would be awesome, and also for the comment "I think someone had that match #1" in regards to Martel/Saito, which was me and I'm ecstatic it made the top 25. In the end 13 of my top 25 made it into the official top 25, which might not seem like a lot but with a set this contentious I'm pretty happy with. The only match i'm a little bummed about is Saito/Hennig at #53... I had that one at #18, and was my second favorite Saito match on the set. And as the podcast said, the more Saito in the top spots, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanWaco Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I loved Saito v. Hennig too. Â GREAT finish, probably top five on the set. Â I forget where I had it exactly but pretty sure it was in my top thirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 It hurts my heart that you guys all shit on the Glove on a Pole match. That was a perfectly worked gimmick match!

Mookieghana Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 There were some questions that didn't get addressed during the podcast that I wanted to repost here for greater exposure:  Person1 * Was there a Ted DiBiase of this set? (Someone who did a lot of high-quality work but also had a ton of matches where they phoned it in?) * Do we have to re-evaluate Greg Gagne’s reputation as a poor wrestler? * Was DeBeers better than his matches on this set would have you believe (i.e. competent, could be carried, occasionally good) or worse? * Now that you’ve seen Brody sell like a champ for Blackwell, can the healing begin and the Brody hate stop?  Person2 * Heel in peril sections: was this something distinctly AWA and why did it originate? Did it affect the viewing of the podcast members one way or another? * How losing the boards changed the voting results for this set, not so much in terms of the amount of ballots but if we're seeing less "hive mind" voting? * Rose, Somers & Sherri: just how awesome this trio was, how they came to be put together, where they rank all-time among heel tag teams, whether or not they could have made any halfway decent blowjob tag into superstars during their run together. Can we get a Doug Somers set from Will?? * Is Verne Gagne a shithead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 * Was there a Ted DiBiase of this set? (Someone who did a lot of high-quality work but also had a ton of matches where they phoned it in?) Â I got the feeling I was alone in this when I talked about it on PWO, but for me that guy on this set is Hennig. He had flashes of stuff where he looked great, especially the match with Hansen or any time he really had to bring it for a FIGHT. If it wasn't a really heated match though, I felt he was content to just lay in his holds when in control and not really do much from underneath either.

Mookieghana Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 * Was there a Ted DiBiase of this set? (Someone who did a lot of high-quality work but also had a ton of matches where they phoned it in?)  I got the feeling I was alone in this when I talked about it on PWO, but for me that guy on this set is Hennig. He had flashes of stuff where he looked great, especially the match with Hansen or any time he really had to bring it for a FIGHT. If it wasn't a really heated match though, I felt he was content to just lay in his holds when in control and not really do much from underneath either.  You have people like Mad Dog Vachon who was all over the place in the rankings in a single year:  19. Crusher Blackwell vs. Mad Dog Vachon (Algerian Death Match) (5/22/83) = 4536 points 31. Crusher Blackwell & Sheik Adnan Kaissey vs. Baron Von Raschke & Mad Dog Vachon (Taped Fist Match) (3/13/83) = 4268 points 97. Nick Bockwinkel vs. Mad Dog Vachon (11/24/83) = 2386 points 83. Crusher Blackwell & Sheik Adnan Kaissey vs. Verne Gagne & Mad Dog Vachon (4/24/83) = 2750 points 137. Ken Patera & Jesse Ventura vs. Hulk Hogan & Mad Dog Vachon (1/16/83) = 1560 points  But you could say similar things about other people who had both top twenty and bottom twenty entries like Crusher Blackwell, Curt Hennig, Ken Patera, Nick Bockwinkel and Wahoo McDaniel.  Obviously the more matches you get on a set, the more likely you're going to fare poorly at some point - so I'm not sure our impression of people like Nick Bockwinkel (38 appearances) or Curt Hennig (27 appearances) can be easily contrasted with people like Baron Von Raschke (3 matches), Sgt. Slaughter (8 matches) or Jimmy Snuka (4 matches) because we're just not getting a complete picture.  I'd love to hear what nominators thought in terms of this question.  All caveats aside, I did also think Curt Hennig might be a candidate for this because there were several periods where he had really highly ranked matches and not-so-highly ranked matches in the same year.  The other person who might contend for the concept (though I would never consider a worker like Ted DiBiase) would be Larry Zbyszko in 1986/1987 - his five singles matches have such a spread.   32. Nick Bockwinkel vs. Larry Zbyszko (7/11/87) = 4220 points 70. Nick Bockwinkel vs. Larry Zbyszko (11/27/86) = 3168 points 79. Nick Bockwinkel vs. Larry Zbyszko (2/23/86) = 2810 points 104. Greg Gagne vs. Larry Zbyszko (July 1987) = 2265 points 140. Larry Zbyszko vs. Ray Stevens (5/30/87) = 1413 points   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Crackers Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 i just want to thank you guys for continuing to move this project forward.

fishbaugh Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Despite this being the fourth set I've taken part in, it is the first I've actually completed a ballot for and I'm glad I did. The entire process was a blast, and I really loved having those wrestling party podcasts to listen to during my re-watch to motivate me to finalize my ballot. Â Looking through the detailed stats that Chris put together is so much fun -- the Blackwell vs. Robinson match from 12/3/81 that someone had as #7 and someone else had as #150. That wide range of opinion is fantastic and part of what makes this entire process great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
