New for Where the Big Boys Play: A table charting our end of show award picks The big thing to note there is Tully Blanchard's remarkable run as MVP. We've all picked him at least 3 times each and out of 7 individual cards, he's been in MVP or joint-MVP for 4 of them. Where the Big Boys Play...

I've had permission to post this here by klunderbunker. Hi all, I used to post here a couple of years ago. Thought I'd share a new podcast I've been doing which is now on iTunes, see below for the first nine shows. I know what you're thinking, "just what the world needs, another wrestling...

Hi all, haven't been around here for some time but thought I'd share a new podcast I've been doing which is now on iTunes, see below for the first seven shows. I know what you're thinking, "just what the world needs, another wrestling podcast", but this one is a bit different. We're only...

I'm glad SOMEONE mentioned this. Yes, it's pretty brutal, especially for 1984. I'd say it's between that and the HHH/ Foley street fight from No Way Out (or was it the one from Royal Rumble? I'm thinking of the one with the thumbtacks).

As everyone else has said, absolute HELL YES is Vader worthy. Greatest "big man" of all time, no question. Just watch any match of his from WCW circa 92-4, especially vs. Sting. The strap match is the stuff of legends. Unfortunately the Hogan circus in late-94/95 kinda killed his momentum and...

I'm not surprised to see that this one hasn't been mentioned yet: Ricky Steamboat vs. Rick Rude, Iron Man Match - Beach Blast '92 Outside of Savage WM3 and the Flair series, that's probably the best Steamboat match there is. 30-minutes of gripping, edge-of-your-seat awesome wrestling. Great...

Hi all. Long time no see. This is something I've been working on for a while: here are my random thoughts on WCW PPVs from 1991 onwards: http://www.parviniworld.110mb.com/WCW.html Feel free to discuss anything you might agree or disagree with here. I intend on sticking around to kick...

Point taken. I realise since writing this that there are in fact two types of "psychology", there's the thing I was on about, which is about psyching out the opponent and "mind games" and then there's what there's "ring psychology" which is about working on a specific body part and telling a...

In particular I'm wondering about examples from the kayfabe era, but any examples will do.

Hmmmmm, mid 20s, British, interests include wrestling and football ... Could be a match, what do you reckon?

Of course, the irony in all of this is that I'm the one who's accused of taking himself too seriously...

Tell them not to be such fucking ******s then. This, I should point out, is another joke.

Thanks Matt, that's cleared it all up for me mate.

Me and you aren't going to get on.

Can we make a deal then: that if I put a date restriction on a thread in the future that you wont do that? It's not like people don't get AMPLE opportunity to discuss current wrestlers and events. I know I've been cocky and joked around a lot, intentionally said things that I know will go over...

Someone in this thread should probably mention the other guy to use the nature boy gimmick: Buddy Landel He was a pretty unremarkable wrestler apart from the fact that he had the EXACT same gimmick as Flair, he even used the same music, robes, hairstyle, everything. I always thought it was...
