Cynick actually seems like he would be great to converse with. I'd love to talk some old Maple Leaf Wrestling. What cards did you make it to Cynick.

The first one at MLG that sticks out was Savage v Dibiase for the belt. Don't remember the date or anything. Everything before that is a blur of random matches. Except Hogan-Wonderful at Exhibition Stadium. I just remember that because it wasn't at MLG and I couldn't see the ring.

Lol my biggest beef is he spends more time trolling than talking about anything wrestling. Fucking love when Gerry gives wrestling lessons. Also find 80s wrestling mad intriguing, whether it be Wwf or nwa/Mid south. Haven't seen a ton but pro wrestling history is Fucking incredible.
Also to imply Hogan and Vince never looked back kind of ignored the steroid trial and aftermath quite a bit, plus all the other sexual assault scandals. Nick obviously has a wealth of knowledge, has remembered every wwe platitude of bullshit and just says it. Super Fucking annoying. |

I forget who said this. Wrestling is entertainment, the same way movies are. Why aren't movie stars drug tested and wrestlers are. It might have been Raven.

i think they were still governed by state athletic commissions at the time, which may have had something to do with it then. are they still? i can't imagine they are.

Some state athletic commissions are WAY more strict than others.

The most money the Midnights ever got for a payoff was $10,000 each for Starcade 86 and 87.
Pretty solid paydays. Not Hogan money but nothing to sneeze at. I actually saw the Midnights $225,000. 1988 WCW contract somewhere on the internet but I can't for the life of me remember where. |

(that was me trying to do Uncle Leo)
I personally grew up on WWF. Younger than you lads though. First show was Maple Leaf Gardens in 1992, main event Bret vs Yoko. Place was fucking packed. Honestly, i think it is super ignorant to believe that the only game in town ever was wwf. I think some of the territories did great business but their methods were archaic and would have been smart to work with Vince, who clearly in the 80s had the right idea in mind. But to think he was the only guy to get wrestling out of dingy arenas, is fucking retarded. Was actually thrilled when WWF put wcw out of business because wcw turned into a farce. I was also 14 years old and realized variety is the spice of life. Think WWE would be infinitely better with real competition. People need real main stream options. Not fucking ROH and TNA. Maybe WWE would appreciates its fans more with competition, and maybe with fans would appreciate WWE more. |

Yeah I heard that number as well from Ricky. Then again, it's Ricky Morton and he's probably saying a low number to avoid paying more child support for his 3000 kids.

Whether you are pro southern rasslin or anti cynick or both....
Bischoff has said multiple times how he needed to get the southern feel out of wrestling to be a success, and then once he did wcw became number 1 for a short while. Cant be a coincidence |

Ricky Morton has done so much cocaine he probably can'teven remember his phone number at this point, let alone what he made in a given year.

I just love how people act like WWF and its wrestlers were the only ones running major arenas and making thousands or more.
World Class was doing major supercards during the holidays that drew huge crowds at Reunion Arena in Dallas. Stan Hansen in Japan was making as much money compared to a football player here in the US. World Class also innovated the production values that WWE gets credit for. look at WCCW tv from 1983 and then go look at WWE's. |
