When did Gorilla Monsoon start since I think I started to watch wrestling when it was him and a British guy whose name I'm forgetting were the main commentators for tv?

Ah yes, Lord Alfred was his name for the British guy.

That would be Lord Alfred Hayes. Gorilla started doing MSG and Spectrum shows in 1983. Vince and Bruno handled the T.V tapings for the most part until like 85 when Jesse joined and they became a trio.

I have about 100 MSG, Philly Spectrum and Boston Garden shows plus a scattering of Maple Leaf Garden, Kiel Auditorium and Baltimore/ Washington shows from 1979 to 1986 on my External Hard Drive. I have some pretty rare shit.

Slaughter and Patterson bleeding buckets

I don't think people realize how amazing Slaughter was until 1984. Best bumping big man in the business between 79-84

Patterson whack Slaughter over and over gain with his boot. Wizard throws in the towel! Slaughter looks like he's about to die from bloodloss. What a match!

They'll probably throw on some Midget match after this to calm the crowd down

I stand corrected. Captain Louis Albano, Moondog Rex and Stan Hansen vs Gorilla Monsoon, Tony Garea and Rick Martel! This should be very interesting.

Garea and Martel were a hell of a tag team. I have a couple Stan Hansen vs Bob Backlund title matches. Incredible fights.

Ken Patera retired Gorilla Monsoon in early 1980 at a Spectrum show. I only have clips of the match.

Albano is notorious for not taking any bumps. If someone punches him he'll just stagger around the ring. He's probably shit faced like me

Moondogs are the tag Champ. Moondog King isn't here so Captain Lou is taking his place. I'm guessing this is when Moondog King couldn't get into the country so they had to replace him as tag Champ with Moondog Spot.

I think you're right on Sgt. Slaughter, Gerty.

It's sad that I have this much useless if stored in my head yet I can't remember my girlfriend's birthday

Martel was so awesome. He and Garea lost the belts to the Moondogs before winning them back and losing them shortly after to Mr.Fuji and Mr.Saito in one of the best finishes to a tag title match I've seen.

Pretty solid match so far. Gorilla finally gets in the ring and beats the shit out of Rex. Can't wait till Hansen gets in there. Been mostly Garea/Martel and Moondog Rex.

Martel has a fucking amazing dropkick

Stan the fucking man tags in and starts kicking the shit out of everyone

I can see why Gorilla retired. Lol he's pretty bad at this point.

Alright Martel vs Hansen. The heels should gets some good hest here. Martel is a great seller/face in peril

The heels triple team Martel and the ref calls for the bell. Are you kidding me? That was a flat finish.

Oops, didn't hear that this was 2 out of three falls. Still though, very flat finish.

I hope Hansen takes Garea's fucking head off with a lariat.

Gorilla hits the big splash on Rex and that's it. Well it started off well, but was pretty under whelming.

Hansen tries to take on all three guys post match because he's Stan Hansen.

Fink announcing next month's card. The Champ always wrestled mid card because Fink or whomever was announcing would announce next month card towards the end of the show and they didn't want to spoil the World Title match.

So that b.s about Hogan getting preferential treatment was nonsense because they had been doing that forever

Haha and here come the midgets. Next month is Muraco's MSG debut vs Rick Martel and Dusty Rhodes faces Killer Khan. Tatsumi Fujinami faces Rick McGraw for the WWF Junior Heavyweight title. I don't have this card.....yet.

When you've seen one midget match you've seen them all. Fast forwarding.

Lol one of the black midget wrestlers is named Kid Chocolate. Haha fuck my life.

Well shit, they actually put a midget match on the last match of the card. Not a good show except for the Maivia vs McGraw match and the Patterson vs Slaughter match.


Gonna drink more. Probably the one and only time I do this.

Lol, see I can make other posts besides calling people basement dwelling virgins. I just have to be drunk.

Old wrestling ruled

Look at these NERDS

It's all I watch.

The Belly to Back Backbreaker is so barbaric looking. It needs to make a comeback.

At this point do you think there's anything WWE or any other rasslin' company could do to draw you back in?

It not that I think it sucks or anything. It's just not what I'm interested in. Ive seen what Ive needed to see. It's pretty cool coming across something historic like Kerry Von Erich wrestling at Madison Square Garden or Salvatore Bellomo wrestling Moondog Spot in Kuwait in front of a bunch of Arab men with Arab commentary. I have a lot of cool WWWF/WWF stuff in my collection.
