We love Vito!

Simple Fan 08-28-2018 10:21 PM

This was supposed to be division specific so I could win. 80's is before my time so probably won't do well.

Lock Jaw 08-28-2018 10:36 PM

Had no clue about the last question.

Lock Jaw 08-28-2018 11:26 PM

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 had to give obvious answers for a few of them.

Bad News Gertner 08-29-2018 07:27 AM

I'd better have done well this time

Maluco 08-29-2018 07:41 AM

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!

Ultra Mantis 08-29-2018 07:50 AM

Feel like I'm going to break the high score barrier with this one.

Nicky Fives 08-29-2018 08:54 AM

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.....

Bad News Gertner 08-29-2018 08:59 AM

The only question that I'm worried about is the Rock and Wrestling Show. I think alot of people have my answer.

Lol yeah me too.

rob11 08-29-2018 12:33 PM

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.

I think everyone has the same answer.

Bad News Gertner 08-29-2018 02:10 PM

Other than that, if someone guesses the rest of my answers I'll be surprised.

Jordan 08-29-2018 03:05 PM

I feel really solid about my choices. I didn't miss any questions this round and my answers are quite unique.

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-29-2018 04:02 PM

Rockn Wrestling was involved with another answer of mine.

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-29-2018 04:05 PM

If somebody gets my Starrcade answer I will be fuckin' pissed/impressed.

Shisen Kopf 08-29-2018 04:24 PM

Cheater!

owenbrown 08-29-2018 05:51 PM

man this is going to be a good one

WinterDecay 08-30-2018 08:15 AM

Looking forward to the results.

Bad News Gertner 08-30-2018 08:21 AM

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.

Big Vic 08-30-2018 10:12 AM

A lot of us started watching in the late 90s and don't want to cheat.

Loose Cannon 08-31-2018 11:28 AM

ok if i don't do well here, I quit like Kevin Owens.

Damn Shaemus is older than I thought.

Bad News Gertner 09-02-2018 07:43 PM

Omg Saito won the title in 1990! God fucking damn it. Should have picked Otto Wanz like I had originally

Jordan 09-02-2018 08:21 PM

Gah! So close. I should have picked Nikolai Volkoff for Rock 'n Wrestling. Son of a biaaatch.

Ultra Mantis 09-02-2018 08:35 PM

Really surprised that I only got one question wrong, had the most confidence in Steve Blackman tbh.

LibSuperstar 09-02-2018 09:03 PM

Vastardikai 09-02-2018 09:17 PM
