PWD PWD 1214: Return of The Nightmare

[Pittie Petey]

I'veheard of that deal but did he really get paid on that?That seems insane

I've never heard one single person say that Gorilla got screwed on the deal and he was with the promotion til the day he died so they had to be on good terms

Theres a Gorilla Monsoon biography coming out in a few months by Brian Solomon, the same guy that wrote the amazing Blood And Fire book about the original Shiek, so Im sure the details will be in there because Solomon is legit and he once worked for the WWE so he has the contacts to get all the facts necessary

The World Champion not in the main event.

I was told by the internet that old school wrestling never did that and AEW is terrible every time the World Champion isn't main eventing every episode of Dynamite.

The stream has been running a Dark Side Of The Ring marathon the past couple days, hopefully we get back to the good stuff soon, bring on that 1960's All Japan footage, baybay!

Yeah he'll usually do a Legends Roundtable marathon too.

I apologize in advance for being that guy but technically the world title match was the main event, house show cards were just structured differently back then
You needed the main event in the middle so after it was over, you could announce next months main event, usually where the good guy could get revenge for whatever horse fuckery shenanigans had just happened in tonights main event, and sell a buncha tickets to next month's card before the fans left the building tonight

Dat smoke filled bidness operated way differently...

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

He looks like an old timey gangster, like one of the bosses from Kansas City that were on trial in Casino LoL

Holy shit lol



They buried them while they were still breathing....

 

[Pittie Petey]

Phil Zacko is one of my favorite wrestling business names. Frankly, it sounds made up!

Picture didnt post the first time so Im trying again

Backlund had to make it back to the hotel before room service stopped

That was a really great show as long as drunk ass Ric Flair or drunk ass Michael Hayes wasnt fucking it up

"They're federal agents, Frankie! Look at this! $100 to whoever hits the plane...."

Well Zacko was basically the you-know-who consigliere for Vince Sr. He had an office right next to the NYSAC in Albany.
The other thing I know about Zacko is apparently Wahoo McDaniel slapped the piss out of him over something.
He ironically looks just like Hesh from The Sopranos.

Holy shit lol

"We drew 87,000 people in Shea Stadium"

That is 30,000 more people than the stadium holds LoL


It's a carny business

"What are you, some kinda wise guy?" - Phil Zacko, probably

Money

Really only two things a man ever fights over if they aint drunk, money or a woman, and I dont think ole roly poly 5 foot negative Phil was taking anybody's ruca so it had to be green backs

I'm just joking about the retards in the IWC that say it's not a main event unless it goes on last. When AEW puts on a World Championship main event first and Tony Khan literally explains in interviews they do it because World title matches have time limits, so they want to make sure the entire World Championship main event is able to air on TV in case it goes the full time limit people still go:

People would rather be spoon fed and pretend matches magically end in pinfall or submission at the end of the 2nd hour instead of having logical booking that doesn't try and insult their intelligence because "mAiN EVeNtS ArE LAsT!!!"

Don't know which of you gamers was a FF Tactics enjoyer, but Square just announced they're dropping a re-release on current gen systems and PC in September. It's gonna have the original classic version and an enhanced graphics version. I'm hyped for this. FF Tactics is easily in my top 10 games of all time.

Been rumored for fucking ever. Was nice to finally see it yesterday. Also nice that they give you the option of remastered or classic version to play
