TPWW Watches Classic Wrestling Thursdays at 9pm EST (Pre-show at 8:30)

[#1-norm-fan]

So I had this idea in the 100,000 replies thread where we could do a weekly watch-a-long of a classic wrestling show. If enough people are into it and it picks up steam, I’d like to do multiple shows from different territories, ideally staying within the same timeframe for comparison sake.

I’m doing a “soft start” this week to ease into things and because I’ll be too busy this evening to set anything up. (and also because Gertner is excited as fuck for this and I can’t make him wait another week). Just gonna post the video. Next Thursday if we’ve got enough people interested I’d like to pick a time and do a synced up watch-a-long though I kinda wanna keep the chat in this thread for people who can’t make the live stream.

Anyway, let’s see how this goes. Enjoy our first show... From January 4th 1986... NWA World Championship Wrestling.

[Triple A]

I will try to check out some of this episode soon hopefully!

[#1-norm-fan]

Thinking Thursday nights at 9 EST/6 PST for the live watch-a-longs?

We could also go full-on time machine and do Saturdays at 6:05 EST/3:05 PST.

Suggestions welcome.

[slik]

Good thread idea

Works for me!

[#1-norm-fan]

3:03 After David Crockett asks Tully where Baby Doll is. Some guy in the audience: “Tully, I like your new Baby Dummy!”

You know that guy had the greatest “Hah! Got him!” smug smile on his face after that line.

[Bad News Gertner]

God I love David Crockett lol

[#1-norm-fan]

You can hear a female voice yelling for Thunderfoot. Against the fucking Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. Lest anyone think heel-loving contrarians are a new thing.

[#1-norm-fan]

THE discord?

We have a discord?

Why wasn’t I aware of this?

And what is a discord?

[#1-norm-fan]

Is this a thing I need to download on my magic phone? I’ll do it if it makes things easier for everyone.

[#1-norm-fan]

Well that seems like the best plan.

[Fignuts]

Damn. Might not be available for livestreams.

[#1-norm-fan]

I’m open to shift the livestream to the best possible time for the highest amount of people.

[drave]

Link the livestream from another device / window and keep live chat/discussion going in the Live Watch Along Thread

[Bad News Gertner]

Hell of a double dropkick by the R&R.

Thunderfoot Joel Deaton was a really good wrestler. Recently passed away. Great team with Bad Boy Billy Black

[Bad News Gertner]

Who a pro Baby Doll was

[#1-norm-fan]

I’ve watched ahead. Avoiding spoilers. But Thunderfoot is fascinating to me. Didn’t remember him at all.

[Bad News Gertner]

Thunderbolt and Billy Black wrestled on the first few Smokey Mountain shows in the tag tournament and wrestled a good amount in All Japan as "The Wild Bunch". They were really good!

[Seanny One Ball]

I had a similar thread idea a while ago but I didn’t think it would be feasible due to my work hours. I should manage it when I’m off though.

Good stuff.

[Bad News Gertner]

Harley seemed to look a lot in the WWF 5-6 months later

[#1-norm-fan]

In hindsight, the king gimmick made him feel like an old man going through dementia as opposed to an old man who, while unassuming when he speaks, could stretch you into a pretzel.

[#1-norm-fan]

By the way, that grizzled old fuck was younger here than AJ Styles is today.

[Bad News Gertner]

It's crazy how different people age nowadays

[drave]

Miniak maybe

[Bad News Gertner]

Omg those chops by Garvin

[Bad News Gertner]

There's some tags out there with Wahoo and Ronnie on the same team just chopping the living shit out of jobbers

[Bad News Gertner]

Tremendous promos all around

[Bad News Gertner]

haha Cornette is so great

[Bad News Gertner]

Magnum vs Barbarian. This should be good. LOVE Barbarian.

[Bad News Gertner]

Loved the Main Event. Pretty great show

[Fignuts]

Nice. Tony Schiavone with the stache.

lol thunderfoot. Sounds like a name for a native American wrestler but instead it's this dude in a red gimp suit.

You'd think at some point Robert Gibson would get tired of his tag partner constantly getting the shit kicked out of him.

Nice finish.

Wonder what Tony, JJ, and Tully talked about during that match. Probably Babydoll's tits.

lol they're still there. Are they just gonna hang out for the whole show?

Ok that recap segment was good.

Even Harley Race's grunts sound mean.

Love Ivan Koloff

I don't like Bill tabs odds.

Great Dusty promo

Yeeeeeeaaaah RUBBISH RONNIE GARBAGE

Ooooooooo that slap was tasty.

lol just slapping the shit out of him.

Chest rake I love it.

Oh geez wedgied the fuck out of him.

ahaha he just punched him in the face for the finish.

Wwe needs to bring fans into their backstage interviews to randomly shout things.

Oh god these poor sons of bitches facing the road warriors.

Oh nevermind, it was like 4 seconds.

[Bad News Gertner]

I was all geared up to see the Warriors paralyze someone and it never happened sadly.

[Fignuts]

"I hear he wears earplugs when he eats rice Krispies so he doesn't hear the snap crackle pop!" Jesus christ lol

Ragin bull seems good. He really hates this guy's inner thigh.

Good selling from Clark

lol big WA TAAAA karate strike from this chubby redneck.

Spends the whole match working the leg, and finishes with a flying elbow strike wtf

Ric Flair being awesome

Kent glover looking way out of his depth.

Arn Anderson victorious over trailer trash kawada.

lol Flair

Jimmy Valiants persona is literally just homeless Crack head.

Yeah, cornette. So young here.

"He used to be horrible, now he's just pitiful"

"Watching this you can see that Condrey is a very......good .....wrestler" Riveting commentary, Crockett.

Oh god that was a legit brainbuster

"Thpathm"

Babydoll's stepford wives smile is kind of creepy.

Magnum vs Barbarian should be fun.

Feel like magnum is getting too much on barbarian. Shine is lasting a bit too long.

Ok barbarian in control now.

lol harley

Ah, shmoz ending.

Holy shit did hawk just take off his choker by flexing his roidy neck muscles?

Jimmy valiant again. Meth is a hell of a drug.

I know Sam Houston. None of the other guys.

lol almost took out his own partner with that Bulldog.

Weird that they ended with that match instead of magnum vs barbarian

Fun show Ronnie Garvin was the highlight for me

[Bad News Gertner]

WWF used to do that shit too where they'd air a match of low card guys at the end of their show after a huge match or angle.

[Bad News Gertner]

Like Fignuts said, Ronnie Garvin smacking that jobber around is the highlight of the show

[Seanny One Ball]

Fagnuts

[drave]

Zagnuts

[ron the dial]

"well you wanna know what makes us sick besides everything?"

[Bad News Gertner]

What will tonights offering be

[#1-norm-fan]

Funny you should ask!

Tonight on NWA World Championship Wrestling:

- The ongoing saga between Dusty Rhodes, Babydoll and The Horsemen heats up!
- Sam Houston challenges Krusher Khruschev for the NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship!
- We will hear from the NEW NWA Television champion!
- The debut of “The PWI Scouting Report” with Bill Apter!
- The Barbarian, Magnum T.A., Ronnie Garvin, The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express and The Midnight Express in action!
- Tony Schiavone’s mustache!

And more!

Tune in tonight at 9:00 est/6:00 pst!

[Wehttam]

where do i put my tuner

[#1-norm-fan]

Here. On this thread of internet.

(Couldn’t think of a good old-timey way to say it. Sorry.)

[Seanny One Ball]

I should be online for this one

[#1-norm-fan]

I’ll make a watch2gether link 30 minutes or so before to test things out. Seems to be the best option at the moment unless someone has a better one to try out. I figure I’ll make Seanny, Gertner and whoever else pops in (that I can verify) room mods just so that the stream doesn’t die if I leave for some reason.

[ron the dial]

i dunno how this watch2gether shit works but i'm gonna try to make it!

[#1-norm-fan]

I’ll post the link. You click it, put in a username and watch rasslin.

Hopefully it goes that smooth.

[#1-norm-fan]

Discussing here would be best if you can work two-browser magic but I’ll also post the video here after along with live chat highlights if possible.

[Bad News Gertner]

Can we do voice chat

[Seanny One Ball]

With our cocks out

[Fignuts]

In another couple weeks I should be able to participate. For now I'll give my thoughts in here.

[Seanny One Ball]

You should pay a hooker to describe it to you

[#1-norm-fan]

Can we do voice chat

That might be possible, actually.

[#1-norm-fan]

Changed to sync-tube. Seems like it might be better. Just change your username in “settings”. 8 minutes!

https://sync-tube.de/rooms/7zVhf365X

[#1-norm-fan]

2 minutes!

[ron the dial]

we can talk about tony's mustache, but let's not leave out that little feathered haircut he's rocking.

[Triple A]

I'm watching the episode in the first post myself right now...

Looking at "Baby Doll" and thinking she looks like 45 yrs old but is probably like 26... Just looked it up and she was 24 years old...

[Triple A]

Maybe this is "blasphemous" but feel really annoyed by Dusty Rhodes' promo... grating to me... bragging about how much money he makes and how he likes to party and stuff... It's his gimmick I guess but idk...

[Triple A]

big ass Israeli flag annoying me . . .

[Triple A]

every wrestler in the first 35 mins (until the Road Warriors) is a big fat mess...

[Triple A]

Wish more wrestlers these days would go back to yelling during their promos... every1 is so calm these days...

[Triple A]

God Ric Flair rules

Really incredible

[Triple A]

Ric Flair like 982375978235 times a better promo than Dusty Rhodes!!! (based on this episode)

[Triple A]

Holy shit Flair rules

Really enjoying the show and "invested in the feud" now cause of him

[Bad News Gertner]

#1wwf-fan, RonTheDial, myself and Seanny just finished watching. Really good show.

[ron the dial]

two episodes, first time around for me on these, i think i'll have to come back for three.

[#1-norm-fan]

Some fantastic jobber matches. Also Ronnie Garvin rattled off his favorite hobbies for a full minute. It was mesmerizing. Video coming...

[#1-norm-fan]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O1NX0D9b6Ik" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Seanny One Ball]

Why would Triple A watch the first one and not come watch the second one with us.

Weirdo.

[Seanny One Ball]

All I can say is that if every wrestling show had jobbers like that one did then every wrestling show would be worth watching.
They were getting pelted all over the place.

[#1-norm-fan]

Tony Schiavone becomes a Tim Heidecker character for about 15 seconds starting at 1:19.

[ron the dial]

it really feels impossible to pick my favorite jobber but it might be jerry blacklund for that sickle sell

[ron the dial]

and mat matching gear

[Triple A]

Why would Triple A watch the first one and not come watch the second one with us.

Weirdo.

I wanted to watch the first one first, and also skipped forward during parts of some of the matches

[Seanny One Ball]

You just hate us

[Fignuts]

Half the guys on these shows look like they would drop common loot when you defeat them.

[Seanny One Ball]

The jobbers on this episode were all brothers as mandated by Jim Crockett

[ron the dial]

i dreamt of a mulkeys vs jeffers match

[Seanny One Ball]

It would be good if there was one somewhere.
We should do a Mulkey night. Mulkey Mania was an actual thing but I dunno where and when.

[Seanny One Ball]

The best thing about watching last night was that there were four grown ass men enjoying an episode of tv that they were either not born yet to see at the time, or too young to appreciate and yet we all popped for the same spots.

World Class Viewing

[Seanny One Ball]

I would say the Jobbers were so good that they made that show.
It was a parade of pasty white asses that hurled themselves like they were made of rubber.

[Bad News Gertner]

The Jeffers Brothers later became "The Mod Squad" later on. They might have had a squash match against the Mulkeys

[ron the dial]

did they ride around the ring on vespas?

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol well it was a biker gimmick

[#1-norm-fan]

Loved it when Garvin’s jobber took a huge bump off of the phantom punch and they decided to show the replay but just paused it before the punch “connected”.

[#1-norm-fan]

If we’re watching this blind with no wrestling knowledge of anything before or after these two weeks, Garvin is the MVP, right?

[#1-norm-fan]

His Lou Costello-esque promo delivery aside.

[Triple A]

When's the next time you guys are gonna watch together?

[Bad News Gertner]

I think every Thursday at 9pm

[Bad News Gertner]

If we’re watching this blind with no wrestling knowledge of anything before or after these two weeks, Garvin is the MVP, right?

Hell yes.

[#1-norm-fan]

When's the next time you guys are gonna watch together?

I think every Thursday at 9pm

That’s right.

I reserve the right to do a random Saturday 6:05 show on short notice occasionally as well though. Still testing out which slot brings in a crowd. Number to beat is 4.

[Bad News Gertner]

I hope we get more people next time. It was alot of fun.

[Jordan]

I will be there next Thursday. Hey guys, what do you say we watch some classic porno's together too? We can star with 1989 classic "The Adventures of Butt Man", also up for 1993's memorable "Wok 'n Roll"!

[#1-norm-fan]

I started the show on the hour with just myself and rtd watching and I was very concerned that this was all a bust. Seanny’s puns and Gertner’s spur-of-the-moment expertise added a lot.

[#1-norm-fan]

I will be there next Thursday. Hey guys, what do you say we watch some classic porno's together too? We can star with 1989 classic "The Adventures of Butt Man", also up for 1993's memorable "Wok 'n Roll"!

I’m down. Just don’t clash with my wrestling block.

[Seanny One Ball]

I haven’t watched wrestling with company for over twenty years.
It does improve the experience.

[#1-norm-fan]

Also, I go chronological. If you wanna do the same, let’s dissect Raylene or Bree Olson’s work in a way that we can pick apart their rise and fall both physically and as a performer.

[Bad News Gertner]

Khrusher Khruschev breaking his leg and finishing the match was something else

[#1-norm-fan]

Preview coming tomorrow!

This is the preview preview!

FUCKING PUMPED!

[Fignuts]

I should be on for the next one.

[#1-norm-fan]

Ronnie Garvin MAY OR MAY NOT be in action.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Given how all the other Horsemen got their shine, I am now of the opinion that Tully Blanchard is the most underrated wrestler of all time.

[#1-norm-fan]

The Magnum vs Tully cage match about a month before this is a fucking work of art. If I can get a good copy of it somewhere on a site compatible with watch-a-longs, that might be my first Saturday watch-a-long. It’s SO good.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Their I Quit match is by a large margin the best I Quit match of all time


But even then, just on a day to day basis, Tully is so fucking good.

[Bad News Gertner]

What sites are compatible. There's a great copy on YouTube that I recently watched

[#1-norm-fan]

So far, Youtube.

[Bad News Gertner]

Their I Quit match is by a large margin the best I Quit match of all time


But even then, just on a day to day basis, Tully is so fucking good.

His promos on the first show were so great

[Loose Cannon]

wait do you guys do this on Zoom or something or just type your thoughts? would be cool to do an actual watch along where we can be on video

[Bad News Gertner]

Type our thoughts.

We've discussed doing something like that.

[#1-norm-fan]

I thought the site we used last time had voice chat but it didn’t seem to work. Gonna try a new site tonight.

[#1-norm-fan]

By the way, I can confirm that tonight’s show will be KICKING OFF with some hot Garvin-on-jobber action.

[#1-norm-fan]

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol damn it I'm here. Had to work late.

[Triple A]

Damn wanted to watch this week but got home late... will try to catch up myself

[Sepholio]

I will be there next Thursday. Hey guys, what do you say we watch some classic porno's together too? We can star with 1989 classic "The Adventures of Butt Man", also up for 1993's memorable "Wok 'n Roll"!

LOL I used to work at a place called Wok 'n Roll. Thanks to you I now know the place was named after a classy pornographical feature film.

[Loose Cannon]

I have been watching a lot 87 World Championship Wrestling on Peacock lately and the format is so good. It's such an easy hour and a half watch. I love the interviews they do right before and after matches. Most of the segments feature the top guys and there's only like 4 or 5 legit angles going on at once. Throw a few squash matches in their to build new talent and that's pretty much it. It's such a perfect format. I'm watching the shows leading up to Ole being kicked out of the horsemen. Dick Murdoch just turned heel and alligned with the Russians. Love it

[Bad News Gertner]

Dick Murdoch is the greatest. More people need to see him.

[Loose Cannon]

his promos are incredible. the 80's guys were a special breed.

[Bad News Gertner]

Murdoch yelling "shut up you buncha Kayfabers" to the crowd lol

hUovIMa6-9E

[weather vane]

What a lid!!!!

[Bad News Gertner]

One of my top 3 favourite matches of all time is Dick Murdoch vs Afa at the October 1984 MSG show. Murdoch at his best.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Old heads help me get into Ronnie Garvin because I do not get. Seems very bland.

[Loose Cannon]

hahaha, I'm so glad you brought him up because yesterday i literally said to myself he is the all time blandest "high profile" wrestler i've ever seen. And I'm almost 100% positive Vince never even saw the guy work and just signed him because he heard he was a former NWA Champion. Vince got him and his best feud was basically against Greg Valentine, which was a complete throw away feud.

So yes Ronnie Garvin was terrible. Now Jimmy Garvin, that guy was money

[Bad News Gertner]

LOVED that feud with Valentine.

[drave]

This thread led me down the road to a Regal v Inoki match in WCW. Had no idea.

[Bad News Gertner]

Old heads help me get into Ronnie Garvin because I do not get. Seems very bland.

I never really got Garvin either, although I grew up with the WWF

[#1-norm-fan]

He’s a short, stocky tough guy who just chops, punches and stretches people and sounds like Lou Costello on the mic.

What’s not to love?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Oh yeah Jimmy is a whole different story.

Also only recently learned that Ronnie is Jimmy’s real life stepfather even though Ronnie is only 7 years older than Jimmy.

[Loose Cannon]

LOVED that feud with Valentine.

i mean that feud destroys any under card feud the WWE puts on today, but god I hated Garvin. I think my fav moment of his was when he turned heel at i think Bash 88 and aligned with JJ or Gary Hart. I can't remember

[Fignuts]

We doing this piss tonight?

[#1-norm-fan]

I’ll start it. May have to duck out of the live watch-along for a bit though.

[#1-norm-fan]

I hope everyone has mailed in their dream match postcards.

[Fignuts]

We got possibly the most incomprehensible dusty Rhodes promo, in the history of incomprehensible dusty Rhodes promos. Called all the women in the audience ugly for some reason, and then spouted out nonsense words.

[#1-norm-fan]

All while wearing a ball cap promoting a ski company.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol wait till 1988 when he starts going off on the crowd for booing him. It's why he started doing more pre taped interviews. This video is amazing lol.

[#1-norm-fan]

If we can hit 8 live viewers this Thursday night I’ll start a second night doing WWF Primetime Wrestling watch-a-longs.

[Bad News Gertner]

I'd loooooooove to do Prime Time watchalongs

[#1-norm-fan]

I would too. It’s what I grew up on. Let’s band together and make it happen, TPWW.

[Bad News Gertner]

Do it so I can talk endlessly about 80s WWF jobbers

[#1-norm-fan]

8 viewers. Thursday night. 9:00 est/6:00 pst. When we hit that mark we expand.

We had 4 last week and 2 of them were new. It’s doable!

[Bad News Gertner]

I'll make this happen

[ron the dial]

i'll be back this week to pump up those numbers. now i gotta catch up on what i missed...

[ron the dial]

1/18/86
- great "hump the neck" stretch by garvin.
- why did jimmy valiant get his thumb wet before jabbing the golden terror in the throat with it? then he's just yelling about daddies and babies. baby.
- i already knew this, but ric flair makes everyone look like a joker when he gets on the mic.
- tony zane's face looks like a mix of STD and zeeboe.
- impressed by art pritts. didn't think the match would be anywhere near that competitive.
- that dusty rhodes promo was 100% cocaine. couldn't keep a damn train of thought on the tracks lol.
- wait is that the big fucking boss man? well then.
- lee peek got me pining for a mulkey.
- 20 tons of steel on a steel toe boot, no problem? 20 TONS?
- that rock n roll express double dropkick never gets old.
- lol cornette complaining about thousands of 12 year old girls threatening his life.
- kinda tuned out during the tully match to answer some questions in my thread and then garvin is talking again? ffs.
- yeah i'm kinda fucked up so maybe i'll come back to the next ep later...

[ron the dial]

Do it so I can talk endlessly about 80s WWF jobbers
totally skipped over the primetime talk earlier. this is what i'm here for.

[ron the dial]

1/25/86
- these episodes are the first time i'm watching any magnum in earnest, and i'm won over by that real subdued intensity he has.
- lolllllllllllll george south! i can't even look at this guy.
- raging bull continuing the trend of everyone constantly staying "baby." "at christmastime i get ten, not nine, christmas cards." what?
- i love the idea of someone approaching arn in a bathroom to say, "hey, dusty is gonna break your leg."
- totally zoned out during the next match. this is far more fun with the group.
- garvin the exact opposite of flair on the mic. i'm gonna take a nap.
- at this point i'm having more fun watching this birdlike ref run around the ring.
- whoops missed an entire raging bull match and now dusty is here. yep there he goes saying he doesn't see any pretty women. did he just try to say tuchus and say something like cockass? and then make a fart sound? HAHAHA ok #1-wwf-fan now i get the boola boola talk.
- fucking thunderfoot back in the mix. glad the other jobber did the job.
- cornette loves talking about feuding with 12 year olds.
- whoops missing another match, realizing at the timeout! who is this stout little oldberg in the yellow trunks? oh it's over who cares. yeah the baron knows: it doesn't matter!
- why the fuck is valiant talking about needing a dip lol? he keeps putting that damn thumb in his mouth! that is a really pretty elbow he dropped.
- paul jones is $10,000 a lot or not, man?
- oh shit i thought mark hawk's legs were actually that white for a second. we've seen some very pasty jobbers. garvin a damn vanilla midget.
- ok good thanks for answering the $ question, ron bass.
- no thank you to this black bart match.
- oh shit yeah magnum ta bring that straight up intensity now! fuck nikita koloff!
- oh rocky king...
- lol flair "now david crockett, come on over here one time, guy."
- solid main event. one of the better wrestling matches i can recall of the episodes we've watched so far.

[Fignuts]

Don Kernodle is great.

[Seanny One Ball]

I’m off work so I’m in for tonight.

Have I missed any enthusiastic job guys?
Undoubtedly...

[Seanny One Ball]

My oh my... look at that first pasty jobber.
George South you milky bastard.

[Seanny One Ball]

We need to do a jobber night once we have this thing pinned as a weekly event.
I pray Noid joins in someday too, and anyone else who still has some fire in their soul.

[Seanny One Ball]

It’s just nice watching TV across nations.

It’s exactly how I hoped the future would be when I was a kid.

[Bad News Gertner]

1 more hour!

[#1-norm-fan]

So... Bad news and good news.

Tonight’s show will be a little different. Apparently there was no 2-1-86 show for some reason. Instead, we’ll be watching the Superstars on the Superstation show from the following weekend. Unfortunately, it won’t be as jobber-rific but the card is stacked.

Ron Garvin gets his chance to force Ric Flair to not be able to pay his taxes by taking the world championship from him (I don’t get it either. His words, not mine.) Dusty vs Tully. Midnights vs Rock n Roll Express...

[#1-norm-fan]

[Bad News Gertner]

Great show tonight.

Ya'll are missing put.

[Seanny One Ball]

That was good shit.

The highlight was getting a good look at Joel Watts for absolutely no reason at all.
Bill Watts was probably furious about his secret shame being broadcast to the world there.

Rock n Roll Express v Midnight Express was an absolute banger.

She was the sister of then Georgia Tech football coach Bill Curry. They thought she'd make a great local tie but she didn't know anything about wrestling.

[Seanny One Ball]

Still better than the race car guy sitting next to Magnum “In a few weeks my legs won’t work no more” Tits&Ass

[#1-norm-fan]

Her clueless smile mixed with Magnum’s disappointment after the opening match is a great visual.

[drave]

just wanna say i think this is one of the coolest fucking things to happen to TPWW.

[Bad News Gertner]

Join us next Thursday!

[Seanny One Ball]

WWE Fan how do I set one of these up on the fly?
I fancy doing one tonight, don’t care if nobody joins me.

[Fignuts]

I had family over yesterday, but I'll be back on next week.

[Bad News Gertner]

Even Newstead dropped by

Create room, put the URL into the bar at the top, hit play when you’re ready.

Weird it's hosted on a German domain.

[Seanny One Ball]

If anyone gets bored check out some 1992 with me, Seanny One Balls

https://sync-tube.de/rooms/pxyJt8W2t

[#1-norm-fan]

I’m there. This is the era I actually remember.

[Seanny One Ball]

I bailed out just before you posted that.

I sat through three bad matches and a couple of mediocre promos, got mad at the lack of jobber enthusiasm and quit.
Jim Ross had a really great shit eating grin back then though. Back when his face still worked.

[#1-norm-fan]

Gertner jumped in for a bit too.

You missed a jobber vs jobber match that was rather fascinating.

[Bad News Gertner]

Not a big 92 WCW fan

[Seanny One Ball]

Who is

[Bad News Gertner]

I might do a Coliseum Home Video watch tonight if people are interested

[drave]

Blood Sweat & Gears or GTFO

[Fignuts]

Smack em' Whack em'

[Seanny One Ball]

I will be online for this Thursday.
If anyone wants to stay on for a Royal Rumble 92 special afterwards then let me know.

[Bad News Gertner]

More than likely a yes for RR 92. Will definitely make the 86 show.

[Fignuts]

I'll stay

[Supreme Olajuwon]

We talking the whole show or just the Rumble? Cause I can’t commit to watching the Beverly Brothers and the Bushwackers go 15 minutes.

[Bad News Gertner]

I mean, is there even a reason to watch the show without Bushwhackers v Beverly's?

[#1-norm-fan]

Lol ‘92 Rumble after party sounds good to me.

[drave]

OMG The Beverly Brothers - forgot about them, that's crazy.

[drave]

should do one of these during the day when im not busy with the fam

[Bad News Gertner]

OMG The Beverly Brothers - forgot about them, that's crazy.

Awesome team, terrible gimmick

[drave]

haha, yeah. I remember when I was younger and my two older brothers would always say I was a "Beverly Brother" to tease me :D

[Bad News Gertner]

Lmao! You should definitely join us!

[Seanny One Ball]

Just the Rumble itself, it’s still on WWE’s YouTube channel.

[Seanny One Ball]

I think there’s potential for more events if people fancy it.
It’s a lot of fun watching wrestling with TPWW posters. Everybody should try it.

[Bad News Gertner]

I think I'm gonna do a Hart Foundation Coliseum Home Video watch tonight.

[#1-norm-fan]

I still wanna build a bit of a group before starting a second night just for the sake of not splitting the already small audience. If/when we start a weekly Primetime watch along, does anyone have thoughts on a day and time?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Thursday is the only option IMO.

[RP]

Do it! I'll join!

[#1-norm-fan]

Thursday is the only option IMO.

Without commercials, going back-to-back our ‘86 WCW and a Primetime episode would be about as long as a Raw episode. Could test this out.

[ron the dial]

goddammit i missed this again due to... oh it doesn't matter i'll try to be back this week! i swear!

[ron the dial]

- bring back the superstation ringmat.
- what a tag title match. that ref bump was hilarious, though.
- this woman fucking amazed by the crowd. cheering? booing? oh hell yeah.
- magnum wants a car ride with copenhagen so bad.
- ok the bob johnson interview feels like some absurd satire. this pencil neck geek just sitting there nodding as bob drones on and on.

[#1-norm-fan]

Who wants to watch some random-as-fuck California indy shit from the early 90s tonight and see if they recognize anyone who went on to fame? I found a gem. I’m looking at you, Gertner.

[Bad News Gertner]

I do! Which promotion?

[#1-norm-fan]

It’s called “Bay Area Wrestling “. I have never heard of it despite that being the age where I was always looking for new wrestling on TV. A friend of mine sent me a clip and it led me down a rabbit hole.

[#1-norm-fan]

https://sync-tube.de/rooms/CLTKm4rCi

I’ll start it in on the half hour.

[Bad News Gertner]

See you all tonight!

[Seanny One Ball]

Yeah I’m up for the next several hours. First day of my three week holiday.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Seanny One Ball]

#1 are you going to stay for the Rumble because it’s on the WWE YouTube channel if you want to load it up after, if not can you Admin me in the room?

[#1-norm-fan]

Rumor has it David Crockett is still recovering from The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express losing the tag titles last week and Tony will be going it alone.

[Seanny One Ball]

I hope we get a really good turn out tonight.
Also a Mulkey wouldn’t go amiss.

[#1-norm-fan]

#1 are you going to stay for the Rumble because it’s on the WWE YouTube channel if you want to load it up after, if not can you Admin me in the room?

Im still not sure how to make someone an admin but I’ll load it up to play afterward.

[Seanny One Ball]

David Crockett will mention the tag titles within the first three sentences of his intro.

[ron the dial]

mulkeymania running wild!

[Seanny One Ball]

Heenan commentary will be a nice first for the thread.

[Seanny One Ball]

mulkeymania running wild!


Would love to meet a Mulkey or two

[ron the dial]

holy shit i am working on a file at work with the last name MULKEY. it's surely a sign of good things to come!

[Seanny One Ball]

Last week I said “Hi Ron” to a non-Ron named Supreme Olajuwon when he logged on.

Rap music.

[Seanny One Ball]

I want there to be a musical 3 minute pre-show for anyone with the guts to arrive early.
Obviously D-Lo Brown’s Theme.

[#1-norm-fan]

Might start the room and drop a little pre-show video in about an hour for anyone who wants to drop in early. Stay tuned!

[Seanny One Ball]

Interesting...

[#1-norm-fan]

https://sync-tube.de/rooms/hQb9eei_S

The theater is open

[#1-norm-fan]

5 minutes!

[#1-norm-fan]

Remember to change your name in settings.

[Vastardikai]

That was fun.

[Sepholio]

Indeed.

Money Money Money

[ron the dial]

record amount of participants tonight lads. big numbers.

[#1-norm-fan]

Packed house for the show tonight!

[#1-norm-fan]

They all came out for Mulkey-Mania.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching the show now due to sleeping on toilets all night.
Rumble was good at least.

[Seanny One Ball]

Midnights match was fun, Bobby lands ass first on a jobber and it looks like he concusses him.
Arn Vs Mulkey is just beautiful stuff. That’s what a jobber squash should look like.

[Bad News Gertner]

9 viewers tonight!

Impact Wrestling, we're coming for you!

[Seanny One Ball]

I spent the Rumble improving Ted Debusey.
I should probably actually be a commentator.

[Jordan]

A suggestion for next week, how about after the main card we try an episode of ECW? Or even a February 1986 episode of Memphis Wrestling? Just to get another perspective of redneck rasslin round the same time!

[Bad News Gertner]

We gotta get to Crockett Cup 86. I haven't seen the show before and have been looking forward to it.

[#1-norm-fan]

I like the idea of switching up the 2nd show every week. Especially since everyone stuck around and seemed to have a good time. Might do another 30 minute pre-show next week too.

And I’m definitely planning on showing The Crockett Cup when the time comes. Just trying to figure out which version to show. There’s one that seems to be at least the main show without the matinee matches but no commentary and there’s the VHS release that’s more condensed and poorer quality but with commentary. Both versions seem to skip the finals though for some odd reason. One literally just blurs out the finals. Lol

I haven’t checked the one in the link you sent me yet, Gertner. I’m having trouble getting it to start but I assume it’s the same non-VHS one I found.

[#1-norm-fan]

Well definitely watch some version of it though even if I have to piece the finals in myself.

[drave]

Coming soon to an appstore near you:


TPWW Network


$5.99 / month

[Triple A]

I'm def in next week if I get home on time!

Tough call on commentary, I'd say quality over commentary, I think I've seen that version on WWE Network before.

Well definitely watch some version of it though even if I have to piece the finals in myself.

Hell yeah if you can do it! Why would they have not included the finals?

[Jordan]

Are you able to stream only Youtube links via the chat or can you do other services like Dailymotion?

[#1-norm-fan]

Just YouTube on that site. I could eventually test out other sites but this one is working so well so far.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hell yeah if you can do it! Why would they have not included the finals?

I don’t know. The long version blurs it out and the VHS version literally just cuts straight to the trophy presentation right as the bell rings. I haven’t figured out why. It’s strange.
