PWD PWD 1200: Vengeance Day is Coming

[Pliny Pete]

I forgot to ask. During your hiatus, lapsed fan was covering one of the coliseum videos on Bruno so they deep dove his brief return in the 80’s.

Bruno said in his shoot that they had a scheduled match for him and Hogan in ‘84. I’m talking on the marquee with the tickets sold. His story was Hogan just didn’t show up to the building because he was terrified that Bruno was in such good shape that he was gonna blow him up and embarrass him. Sounds like a classic wrestler tale to me. Work or shoot?!

Im actually surprised that Bruno would lie like that but that is 100% work, never happened, never thought about happening, never, ever, ever possible in a million years!

Why in the world would Vince take his hot new superstar babyface that he planed to take over the world with and immediately match him up against the biggest babyface star in the history of the WWWF(up until that point) it is the worst possible choice to launch a new star you could possibly make LoL

Do you know what shoot that was from?

Bruno kayfabed heavy in his early shoots but got a little more open before he died


Vince did want Bob Backlund to turn heel and go against Hogan in '84 just so Hogan could crush the former superstar champion because that wouldve been a huge deal in the eyes of the old school fans that still "believed" and it wouldve helped get Hogan mega over, although it turned out he didnt need any help anyways

Backlund refused and went into retirement for 10 years til he did reappear is a heel in the 90's

Man do I love that old timey "real and slowed down" Lucha style from the 80's, its the perfect style of rasslin imo

I didnt realize how great I had it as a kid watching that stuff on the Spanish station on Saturday afternoons after WWF and before JCP came on

I watched it cause it was rasslin but it felt so fake back then compared to the "real" American style, now American style is 10 times faker than that and Lucha is even more worse!

Its such a beautiful opera of fast paced violence

I do believe it was one of his earlier one. It actually might have been from his book, which they mentioned is heavily kayfabe. So that could be the issue.

He claimed it was scheduled twice and Hogan didn’t show either time. I believe he even went as far as to give the towns and they were further down the east coast, like Maryland, to not have a large Italian population in the crowd. They talked about Backlund and Vince wanting to see him crushed into dust lol

Bruno worked against Randy Savage and against Roddy Piper in the final years of his career, just a couple matches here and there on East Coast shows in the mid 80's, and he teamed with Hogan in Baltimore in 1987 for his final match ever against King Kong Bundy and One Man Gang(Akeem) but they were never ever matched against each other, even when Hogan was a big heel in the WWWF in 1980 and '81

They never worked against each other ever and I think that one tag match was the only time they ever worked together too

It appears so, I only found the one image from that match when I was searching

It’s weird to even see them together

 

[deezy]

This nerd thought they got me because I made a roast joke about Don Rickles…….all the way from 2017

 

[Based God]

That's some terrible luck to have their 8 woman tag match on the train and lose their tickets on the same day Minoru Suzuki happened to be working a shift as a ticket inspector.

Someone on YouTube tried to tell me Bayley is the botchiest of the 4 Horsewomen... Ugh

 

[Pliny Pete]

Bumping Chris Stapleton - Traveller right now as I gave Roxie two baths with two different medicated shampoos to try and combat these horrible rashies that she's covered in and damn this is one solid fucking album

Every track is a deep, soulful, emotional banger, actually taking me someplace I dont wanna be right now but the music is just so dang good that I cant push eject(or the Spotify version of eject, if you wheel)

I already knew I loved the album but its been awhile since I heard it, it is a frickin modern country/Southern rock masterpiece

Absolutely. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time top to bottom.

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

But it’s basically the Appetite for Destruciron curse where the first album is so damn good that the rest just don’t live up. I’ve liked a few of his singles since Traveller but he hasn’t put out an album in total that’s even close

Yea, I dont even remember any of his other songs after Traveller, I'm sure Ive heard a few here or there but who knows

I do dig this acoustic version of What Are You Listening To

I really dug this one. Would be on my shortlist of walkouts if I was a working a cowboy gimmick, brother

This would be solid as Ole Double J's final match music.
