Not a tag team, but Burke's "Elijah Express" (both knee pads pulled down, then a running double knee to opponent in corner) was pretty awesome.

Rock and Roll's came first.
Morton talked shit about Nash in a shoot. I'm pretty sure the whole thing is a work based on the little I know about it. |

I think they sold out the Barclays Center together or something. Nash had charts.

My favourite thing about cynick is he's accusing Gertner of.having poor sources and not.using facts, and all the info he is getting is from worked wwe docs

The only things I've really cited are events I personally attended. I dont know exactly how many people the A tour drew in the 80s, but I used to see highlights on TV, and the events were in legit venues and looked full. The tapes Ive seen from southern wrasslin usually looks like they were done in venues that didn't have proper lighting. Maybe there were a lot of people at these events but they were helping to keep the hand crank generator running and not on the hard camera.

I dont doubt lots of guys in the 80s were bad with money. But I don't see the evidence that they were top guy in WWE rich. I look forward to reading their contacts that you are planning to provide. |

I mean who would ever think that wrestlers in the 80s, the smartest, classiest guys in the world ever, would be bad with their money. Completely preposterous.

I believe Flair did well, but not convinced many of guys who worked in the south were making mad coin. Just looking at those audiences in guessing people didn't pay more than $5 for a ticket. |

Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express were making six figures in the 80s.
Stan Lane doesn't need to work anymore. he's well off. Cornette saved his money as well. he's basically semi-retired. pretty sure his comic book collection alone is probably worth thousands. |

So he was paid in comic books for headlining "multiple stadium shows". I think you proved my theory.

Midnights made $225,000 in 1987 by the way. Little fyi.

i grew up on WWE in the 80s (Superstars, SNME, Maple Leaf Wrestling). Maybe it's because i didn't grow up in some backwoods town, I grew up going to big venues to see big stars. I did watch WCW when my family got cable, and obviously watched Nitro in the 90s. As an adult I tried to appreciate other ptomotions, but they all seemed bush league. You know how Jim Cornette dresses? That's how those promotions came off to me. |

Cynick I'm pretty sure is a late 90s early 2000s Japan mark. From what I remember if him when he used to make actual posts.

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. |
