What a lid!!!!

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.

Old heads help me get into Ronnie Garvin because I do not get. Seems very bland.
|
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 |
LOVED that feud with Valentine.
|
This thread led me down the road to a Regal v Inoki match in WCW. Had no idea.

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? |

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

I’ll start it. May have to duck out of the live watch-along for a bit though.
|
I hope everyone has mailed in their dream match postcards.

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.
|
All while wearing a ball cap promoting a ski company.
|
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.
|
If we can hit 8 live viewers this Thursday night I’ll start a second night doing WWF Primetime Wrestling watch-a-longs.
|
I'd loooooooove to do Prime Time watchalongs
|
I would too. It’s what I grew up on. Let’s band together and make it happen, TPWW.
|
Do it so I can talk endlessly about 80s WWF jobbers
|
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! |
I'll make this happen
|
i'll be back this week to pump up those numbers. now i gotta catch up on what i missed...

- 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... |

- 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. |
Don Kernodle is great.
|
I’m off work so I’m in for tonight.
Have I missed any enthusiastic job guys? Undoubtedly... |
My oh my... look at that first pasty jobber.
George South you milky bastard. |
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. |
It’s just nice watching TV across nations.
It’s exactly how I hoped the future would be when I was a kid. |
1 more hour!
|
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... |
|
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
|
Great show so far.
