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...

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...

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

Feel free to list more obviously, but I'm going to set 3 as a minimum. 1. Great American Bash '89 "Glory Days" - after the first hour this one is just insane: BANG Sting-Muta, easy ****, Luger-Steamboat easily ****+ and arguably Luger's best ever match, then a random but fun War Games...

You guys have pretty hardcore moderating rules here. How about doing us all a favour and cranking it up like 10 notches for the Old School Wrestling Discussion sub-forum? Fucking hell, I'm getting sick of this shite. Some proposed new rules for Old School: 1. People born after 1980s don't...

So my journey through SNME continues. And the next one to have come up on my "face or heel" radar is Jake Roberts. I'm currently witnessing his feud against Ricky Steamboat play out (Jake's debut run). What strikes me is that there is nothing fundamentally different about Jake's personality or...

The other person who jumps out a mile as being just an incredible heel from those early SNME shows is Hot Rod. Now I think he'd count as the number 1 heel in the company at that point and his charisma is just off the charts. His range of real life references and insults to Hogan or Orndorf...

I've been watching SNME from the start recently. Up to #6 now. One thing that struck me was what an awesomely dislikable heel Macho Man was circa 1985/6. He basically just abused Elizabeth, treated her really badly, hid behind her whenever he could, in one skit he "teaches her to swim" by...

Thus far we've had polls for Play-by-play menand Color analysts, now it's time to turn our attentions to an oft-over looked on-screen role: The Backstage Interviewer. These guys help to get talent over and in a strange sort of way represent the average fan on screen. They also act as a kind...

You got it. First of all let's be honest about something: WCW only really became a threat to WWF in about 1996 when the Monday Night Wars started. So you can't really blame the poor attendance figures and ratings on WCW between 1994 and 1996. I'm not entirely sure about the situation in the US...

It's always interesting to see what other people's views are on wrestling issues so I thought it would be good to have some sort of reference thread to see where everyone is coming from. The idea for this thread is pretty simple. There are a number of categories for which you should rate your...

So it looks like JR has the first poll in the bag. I thought Gorilla Monsoon might get a bit more love but the board has spoken! Ross gets our play-by-play spot. And so we turn to the task of filling empty seat next to him: The role of Color Analyst. So get your voting slips out and your...

This is the first in a series of threads in which we're going to strive to find the forum's all-time favourite announce team. I'm gonna break it down as follows, with 7-day polls for each category: Play-by-play Commentator Color Commentator Backstage Interviewer Ring Announcer After these four...

Now DiBiase has always been my all time favourite wrestler, but for such an amazing talent he's a bit short on classic matches. So this is tough from the point of view that, for much of his WWF tenure, he was carrying people like Hogan and Warrior to half-decent, watchable matches rather than...

I'm not just talking aesthetics here, I'm talking memories. For me: 1. The classic "winged eagle" Hogan WWF title belt, which was used from about 1987 to 1996. When I think of the WWF title, I still think of that belt. I actually hate it when I see older footage and see older versions of the...

I'm not just talking aesthetics here, I'm talking memories. First, let me give a little helping hand: WWF/E World Titles And, of course, there's Cena's Stupid Spinner thing: IC Title: Tag Titles:
