Oh God...

I can't believe this thread has reached "Last Page" status

Tom Guycott 07-25-2019 11:28 PM

That sounds like a gimmick a poster might use on this site.

... eh ... not that I'd know anything about that... :shifty:

Bad News Gertner 07-25-2019 11:53 PM

If I want to watch an episode of "Mid South Wrestling," what's a really good episode to watch to check it out? Never seen it I don't think

Bad News Gertner 07-26-2019 12:36 AM

I love the May.31 1986 episode with Eddie Gilbert, The Russians and Bill Watts.

The June 29 1985 episode is great but I'm not sure if it's on the Network.

Gertner had me start at the beginning of 82 I think. JYD looks so healthy and buff, it's unreal.

Bad News Gertner 07-26-2019 07:51 AM

Yeah I'm not the best with dates, but you really can't go wrong with 82 Mid South. Hell, Mid South was even good when it became the UWF in 86.

Triple A 07-26-2019 02:47 PM

Wait am I confusing it with Mid Atlantic Wrestling... which one is the one that's supposed to be really good

Mid Atlantic seems to be more prominently featured on WWE Network

Seanny One Ball 07-26-2019 04:52 PM

Mid Atlantic is Jim Crockett, Mid South is Bill Watts

Seanny One Ball 07-26-2019 04:53 PM

Depends if you're in the mood for Flair or JYD

Seanny One Ball 07-26-2019 04:53 PM

Gertner you say things now

Bad News Gertner 07-26-2019 04:56 PM

Mid Atlantic depends on the year. 85 and 86 is great. 83-84 were transition years and very hit and miss.

Seanny One Ball 07-26-2019 05:05 PM

The first Starrcade in 83 was pretty bad besides the last few matches.

Bad News Gertner 07-26-2019 06:57 PM

The T.V was pretty bad as well.

Bad News Gertner 07-27-2019 06:52 AM

I was watching an old MSG show from 1981 and came across this match. I've had this show for a while but had never watched it. What a fun match.


Seanny One Ball 07-27-2019 12:36 PM

The Moondogs were lunatics based on the Smokey Mountain shit I've seen. I just thought they were fat simpletons in the old WWE stuff. Nope, pure maniacs.

Bad News Gertner 07-27-2019 01:43 PM

You gotta check out their Memphis stuff. Fucking ridiculous wild brawls.

Bad News Gertner 07-27-2019 01:44 PM




Seanny One Ball 07-28-2019 01:15 AM

Does every match in Japanese wrestling begin with ribbons and streamers covering the canvas?

rez 07-28-2019 01:51 AM

my balls hurt

Seanny One Ball 07-28-2019 02:02 AM

Gertner, what should he do?

Bad News Gertner 07-28-2019 06:29 AM

Rest them on a block of ice

rez 07-28-2019 07:41 AM

thanks

Seanny One Ball 07-31-2019 07:26 PM

Jeff Jarrett looked so young and skinny in 1986...
They sold him as a nice young man who referee'd the matches then got his dick smashed by Bill Dundee and Buddy Landel.

Feel like I love Double J even more now.

Seanny One Ball 07-31-2019 07:34 PM

Now Bill's doing his own commentary with Buddy and Dutch as he watches a clip of him wrestling Big Red Reese.
Guy's called Big Red and he wears green...

Everything should be like this. Last match Bill body slams a guy on the concrete floor and the guy is fucked for the rest of the match.
It's the simple things.

Fucking amazing angle with JJ, Jerry Jarrett, Buddy and Bill. The interview that Jerry Jarrett gives is unbelievable

Bad News Gertner 07-31-2019 09:22 PM

Memphis Wrestling is so good

Seanny One Ball 07-31-2019 11:13 PM

It's as violent and as absorbing as it gets. The ring work is so clearly defined too, if it's in the ring sell it a lot but outside act like you're dead.
The whole Dundee, Landel and Dutch gimmick is amazing. Two brawlers and a rassler, but even Landel and Dutch ain't rasslin much. As for Dundee... He just beats the fuck out of 'em.

I also mark out for Tony Falk, the greatest jobber gimmick I have ever seen. I mean it. He comes in acting like a lanky Nature Boy, has back and forth fights then gets beaten by his own stupidity and arrogance every time.

The reverse Goldberg.

Seanny One Ball 07-31-2019 11:19 PM

I tried to watch USWA but it is significantly worse quality despite it being newer. I suppose they were on VHS recording cameras by then and presumably a lower tape quality... it's bad and the camera angles look like shit too as if held by wankers.

Bret Hart did do an absolutely insane Deep South accent mocking Lawler in one of them though. I mean it was mental, he quotes Cool Hand Luke in a completely bonkers mock accent. I should have recorded it.

Bad News Gertner 07-31-2019 11:54 PM

I remember watching the final episode of USWA in my garage. It used to come on after Smokey Mountain Wresting

Seanny One Ball 08-01-2019 12:04 AM

Tracy Smothers

Seanny One Ball 08-01-2019 12:07 AM

You know who I like now? Jos LeDuc.
Did a sweet baseball slide into the corner after a whip, turned and got up immediately and plants the guy with a beast of a clothesline.

Been trying to find the footage of him getting sledgehammer by Mongolian Stomper through a cinder lock but can't find it. The one Stomper ate looked pretty sore though.

Tracy Smothers was amazing. Does not get nearly enough love.

Seanny One Ball 08-01-2019 01:00 AM

I liked his matches but didn't realise he was the reason they were good if you know what I mean? Like he just happened to be in good matches but I couldn't figure out why :lol:

Ahhhh.... I'm still a mark. I don't want to be smart to everything.

Seanny One Ball 08-01-2019 01:02 AM

Tracy Smothers man, in the ECW roster they talk about him like a legendary badass. I can believe it.

Bad News Gertner 08-01-2019 09:39 AM

He was amazing in ECW. Those F.B.I skits still crack me up.

Check out the December 11th, 1982 episode of Mid South

Bad News Gertner 10-09-2019 11:48 PM

Watch this match. Second greatest in ring feud of the 80's in the WWF behind Tito vs Valentine. Awesome match.


Seanny One Ball 10-10-2019 09:58 AM

I will when I get off this bus
