We love Vito!

This was supposed to be division specific so I could win. 80's is before my time so probably won't do well.
|
Time for The Midnight Gertner to ride high
|
|
Had no clue about the last question.
|
I think I might have got more right than I thought I would, but on the other hand they could also be wrong. Either way, definitely not doing so good on this one.

Oddly enough, the last question was the easiest for me to answer. Meanwhile, though the decade in question is within my lifetime, I didn't really care all that much outside of the gimmicks and personalities. Wrestling was just entertaining and something I could emulate with toys and/or my older brother. I actually had to take a step back and realize that there is a lot of stuff I either totally don't remember, or conflated from later learned late 70s history or early 90s stuff. |

I'd better have done well this time
|
Just enough information and some random names for me to cover this. Pretty sure most answers are correct though, just from seeing different podcasts and reviews of older shows.
Used a theme song for the last question that I hope was composed in the 80's! |
Feel like I'm going to break the high score barrier with this one.
|
last 2 questions were very hard.... I googled the name of the band who sang the song I was thinking of, as there are likely many songs with the same title.....
|
The only question that I'm worried about is the Rock and Wrestling Show. I think alot of people have my answer.

Considering I finished in last place, I think I did better this time. I've been watching 80's WWE(F) house shows, and guessed on the rest. AWA had familiar wrestlers so I guess they were educated guesses.

Other than that, if someone guesses the rest of my answers I'll be surprised.
|
I feel really solid about my choices. I didn't miss any questions this round and my answers are quite unique.
|
Rockn Wrestling was involved with another answer of mine.
|
If somebody gets my Starrcade answer I will be fuckin' pissed/impressed.
|
Cheater!
|
man this is going to be a good one
|
Looking forward to the results.
|
The WWF used to use regular music all the time until like 1986. All their shows/segments used actual music (Piper's Pit, Saturday Nights Main Event, WWF Championship Wrestling etc...) There's a ton of choices.
|
A lot of us started watching in the late 90s and don't want to cheat.
|
ok if i don't do well here, I quit like Kevin Owens.
|
Results!

Damn Shaemus is older than I thought.
|
Omg Saito won the title in 1990! God fucking damn it. Should have picked Otto Wanz like I had originally
|
Gah! So close. I should have picked Nikolai Volkoff for Rock 'n Wrestling. Son of a biaaatch.
|
Really surprised that I only got one question wrong, had the most confidence in Steve Blackman tbh.
|
YEA YEAH *Ice Cube voice*
|
should have picked "Mean Gene" Okerlund for Rock 'n Wrestling.
|
|
And Vito since he sets up this game for us.
|
Definitely Vito too
|
Damn you Valentine .... you charismatic bastard.
Anyway, was Hogan ever AWA champ? ps - Vote Vito for this game |
So close.

He one the title but it’s not officially recognized. I counted it though since he did win it.
|
Gertner, I won
|
Yeah I really shit the bed on the AWA question
|
for god sakes, my strategy is horrendous. i literally knew every IC and AWA champion and picked the one every one put down
|
Vito, have we already done a CAGE MATCH theme? For the upcoming Hell in a Cell festivities?
|
Damn just one point out of the top 5.
|
At least I didn't come in last. I thought someone else would use Wrestlerock Rumble.
|
Surprised no one picked "Big Time"... that theme for Mania one year.
