I was just thinking about that moment yesterday.

Been looking at old WWE results by year and noticed an interesting pattern during the year '69. The WWWF was doing better business at the Boston Garden than MSG. Several MSG houses were under 10K.

The WWWF lost their New York T.V around that time.

I think I've officially watched every piece of available 1984 WWF footage by now. I keep hoping I'll find something new but I've watched every House Show/Championship Wrestling/Maple Leaf Wrestling show there is

what's next?

Currently watching all the 1998 episodes of WCW Thunder lol

You watching Scott Norton power bombing fools!?

This woke up the WCW Thunder video game I had on Playstation. Remember it playing terribly, but each wrestler had ~10 second entrances with REAL VIDEO.... which back then was not very common on consoles.




Here's Hogan's entrance, for example:

Lol, all the Thunder episodes have been uploaded onto a streaming service called Binge over here. I had the dark thought of watching them the other day. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode of Thunder start-to-finish.

I’ve settled on popping Mid-South on while I fall asleep. That’s also up there. They haven’t got any of the Starrcades outside the WWE editions though. Lol, pretty weird.

Lol those fucking games were so bad. Nitro was pretty bad but Thunder was unplayable.

I'm just entering the 98 summer of Norton where he just destroys dudes every week

SuperBrawl is now up in Australia. We also have more AWA content.

So, what you're saying is that Aubrey Edwards is a second generation superstar?

WrestleWar has followed.

More Hogan LALA Land waffling. Apparently Hogan wrestled Brock in WWE AFTER Brock got back from UFC which was in 2012, pity Hogan's last WWE match was Summerslam 2006 against Orton....:wtf:

So Roku did an NFL Draft film.

No joke, Tiny is in the doc spazzing about AEW :rofl::rofl::rofl:

It’s not even a surprise or funny self-parody anymore.

I'd have gone with Sara Callaway myself.

Why in heaven's name did you have to look her up? You should know who she is; she's a "huge star"! But, it's "not about her, though".

If "The Man, The Master, and Ruler of The World" had no other accolades in his life or career, the mere fact that he was the primary inspiration for the look of Brock Samson means he contributed plenty.

Starrcade’s finally up on Binge in Australia. I’m so fucking pumped. We also got Greed, lol. I might have to watch that just for funsies.

Watching a July.2 1998 WCW Thunder

These are the matches so far lol

Chris Jericho vs a Fake Rey Mysterio (Jericho was HILARIOUS)
Public Enemy vs Bulldog and Neidhart (Neidhart looked SO fucked up on pills)
Saturn vs Kidman (Great match)
Doc Dean vs Stevie Ray

And now Bobby Blaze vs Brian Adams

The Chavo "Acme Eddie Trap" segment was on that show. Really funny. The crowd didn't seem to care much.

Booker T vs Finlay was really good. Crazy how quickly Finlay was an afterthought after his T.V Title run

Giant vs Luger main event and goes about how long you'd figure these two would go and ends how every Thunder ends.

I might need to start watching Thunder.

1994 and 95 SMW has been added to Binge over here. More wrestling content goes up every day.

I had no clue that Tugboat’s son (Cody’s cousin) was the timekeeper for the WWE.

I'm on vacation this week and plan on getting up super early this Friday, grabbing a coffee and some Timbits and watching glorious July 1998 WCW Thunder in all its glory. I can't wait for Public Enemy vs High Voltage

You're in for a treat. I believe that's about the time you get such classics as Scott Norton vs Jerry Flynn and Glaciar v Van Hammer

Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissy, also known as Billy White Wolf and General Adnan, has passed away at 84.
