Damn alexis is gorgous
Yes, I just caught a bit of that. They should make bra and knickers compulsory

The other girl only really needed "Big Mummy" on her leotard and it would be almost like going through a time warp.

Joe Coffey better be getting the hot tag to clear the ring, he really impressed me at fear and loathing against Kurt Angle

It is kinda odd with Rampage as heel as in WCPW he's a face at the moment.

Saturday afternoons, when i was a kid in the late 60's, was mostly always spent watching WOS wrestling with our Dad.
I totally believed it then...... pretty sure my old man did as well.

Part of it is he's just that good another part is he genuinely loves pro wrestling and it shows.

I knew they would americanise it.

No way they would go back to the original style.

Same here as a kid in the seventies.

I remember tag teams with Big Daddy and possibly Bobby Ryan, and the storyline of Ryan being beaten to a pulp only for one last ditch tag whereby Daddy would come in and well, just stomach the other two to an early death. The storyline was repeated over and over and I just believed it all.

Funny how Daddy started off as a bad guy-actually partnering Haystacks for a while early on.

Compared to the Ladder Matches I've seen that was very tame.
Yet they felt they needed to keep druming on about these are trained athletes even so far as to put it on the match.

The warning at the start of the show was sufficent.

The reason Big Daddy was made top guy is his brother owened and booked the wrestling company at the time.

I think this is quite well put together. I'm not a fan of WWE, this is much more fun.

Royal Rumble please

The moves, choreography and athlelticism are pretty good, and the staging would make Kent Walton proud, but hasn't Wrestling reached its peak a decade back and on the downward slide ?

Anyway I can't reconcile the "entertainment" part with the sporting aspect, its absolute falseness is a major hurdle, it's the bastard son of a squelchy encounter between a noble sport in decline and TV .

As Ballantine would say, Am oot.
