TPWW Watches Classic Wrestling Thursdays at 9pm EST (Pre-show at 8:30)
So I had this idea in the 100,000 replies thread where we could do a weekly watch-a-long of a classic wrestling show. If enough people are into it and it picks up steam, I’d like to do multiple shows from different territories, ideally staying within the same timeframe for comparison sake.
I’m doing a “soft start” this week to ease into things and because I’ll be too busy this evening to set anything up. (and also because Gertner is excited as fuck for this and I can’t make him wait another week). Just gonna post the video. Next Thursday if we’ve got enough people interested I’d like to pick a time and do a synced up watch-a-long though I kinda wanna keep the chat in this thread for people who can’t make the live stream. Anyway, let’s see how this goes. Enjoy our first show... From January 4th 1986... NWA World Championship Wrestling. Last edited by #1-norm-fan; 05-26-2022 at 04:38 PM. |

Thinking Thursday nights at 9 EST/6 PST for the live watch-a-longs?
We could also go full-on time machine and do Saturdays at 6:05 EST/3:05 PST. Suggestions welcome. |

3:03 After David Crockett asks Tully where Baby Doll is. Some guy in the audience: “Tully, I like your new Baby Dummy!”
You know that guy had the greatest “Hah! Got him!” smug smile on his face after that line. |

You can hear a female voice yelling for Thunderfoot. Against the fucking Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. Lest anyone think heel-loving contrarians are a new thing.

THE discord?
We have a discord? Why wasn’t I aware of this? And what is a discord? |

Is this a thing I need to download on my magic phone? I’ll do it if it makes things easier for everyone.

Hell of a double dropkick by the R&R.
Thunderfoot Joel Deaton was a really good wrestler. Recently passed away. Great team with Bad Boy Billy Black |

I’ve watched ahead. Avoiding spoilers. But Thunderfoot is fascinating to me. Didn’t remember him at all.

Thunderbolt and Billy Black wrestled on the first few Smokey Mountain shows in the tag tournament and wrestled a good amount in All Japan as "The Wild Bunch". They were really good!

I had a similar thread idea a while ago but I didn’t think it would be feasible due to my work hours. I should manage it when I’m off though.
Good stuff. |

In hindsight, the king gimmick made him feel like an old man going through dementia as opposed to an old man who, while unassuming when he speaks, could stretch you into a pretzel.

Nice. Tony Schiavone with the stache.
lol thunderfoot. Sounds like a name for a native American wrestler but instead it's this dude in a red gimp suit. You'd think at some point Robert Gibson would get tired of his tag partner constantly getting the shit kicked out of him. Nice finish. Wonder what Tony, JJ, and Tully talked about during that match. Probably Babydoll's tits. lol they're still there. Are they just gonna hang out for the whole show? Ok that recap segment was good. Even Harley Race's grunts sound mean. Love Ivan Koloff I don't like Bill tabs odds. Great Dusty promo Yeeeeeeaaaah RUBBISH RONNIE GARBAGE Ooooooooo that slap was tasty. lol just slapping the shit out of him. Chest rake I love it. Oh geez wedgied the fuck out of him. ahaha he just punched him in the face for the finish. Wwe needs to bring fans into their backstage interviews to randomly shout things. Oh god these poor sons of bitches facing the road warriors. Oh nevermind, it was like 4 seconds. |

"I hear he wears earplugs when he eats rice Krispies so he doesn't hear the snap crackle pop!" Jesus christ lol
Ragin bull seems good. He really hates this guy's inner thigh. Good selling from Clark lol big WA TAAAA karate strike from this chubby redneck. Spends the whole match working the leg, and finishes with a flying elbow strike wtf Ric Flair being awesome Kent glover looking way out of his depth. Arn Anderson victorious over trailer trash kawada. lol Flair Jimmy Valiants persona is literally just homeless Crack head. Yeah, cornette. So young here. "He used to be horrible, now he's just pitiful" "Watching this you can see that Condrey is a very......good .....wrestler" Riveting commentary, Crockett. Oh god that was a legit brainbuster "Thpathm" Babydoll's stepford wives smile is kind of creepy. Magnum vs Barbarian should be fun. Feel like magnum is getting too much on barbarian. Shine is lasting a bit too long. Ok barbarian in control now. lol harley Ah, shmoz ending. Holy shit did hawk just take off his choker by flexing his roidy neck muscles? Jimmy valiant again. Meth is a hell of a drug. I know Sam Houston. None of the other guys. lol almost took out his own partner with that Bulldog. Weird that they ended with that match instead of magnum vs barbarian Fun show Ronnie Garvin was the highlight for me |

WWF used to do that shit too where they'd air a match of low card guys at the end of their show after a huge match or angle.
