@Pittie Petey Ok they did an episode on 97 just a couple weeks ago that I went back and listened to. It was solid. Bix is a lot better than I thought he'd be. I assumed him to be this savant of wrestling knowledge and a "ACKSHULLY" type guy as he spits out useless facts with a slobbering lisp. He wasn't like that though and there were times when he was actually questioning Meltzer. I also assumed he worshiped the ground he walked on. It was a good litmus test since I already knew most of what they were talking about but still learned plenty in those middle sections where they talk about the international stuff and Indies. It's exactly what you laid it out to be and I enjoyed it. It's one I can keep I the rotation now and then.

Im glad you enjoyed It, I definitely get the preconceived @Bix wariness, and him and Kris do both have their aggravating neckbeard moments on the show, but overall its a solid, well researched and professionally laid out history lesson about this fine bidness


I gave up on the '84 episode, way too boring, and '84 is my favorite year in rasslin so that says a lot about how bad it was
 
'84 was definitely my favorite year because I loved watching the way the WWF went from what it was in the past to what it would become in the 80's boom period but I may drop it down a bit because '83 Memphis was so great and Crockett, UWF and Continental were on frickin' fire in '86 so they may over take it


Plus none of them ever ruined Triplemania...

That birth of Hulkamania period to Wrestlemania I is very interesting to me. WWF is clearly taking over but there's still a "anybody's ball game" feel to the situation and captivating as he may be, Hulk isn't quite Hulk yet

I liked watching the tv shows in 1984 because you can watch Vince's vision slowly taking place in "real time", the beginning of '84 its still very much old timey WWWF style production with a lot of the same slow old workers from the 70's in the old gray dingey rings and you can watch week to week as it starts to get just a little tiny bit glitzier each week and the old names from the past start getting replaced by younger fresher rasslers

By the time 1985 hits its very much the classic WWF that I know and love and that everyone thinks of when they think of that era

When Vince hooks up with Dick Ebersol and the NBC production crew for the Saturday Night's Main Event shows, you can instantly tell the difference because he learns so much from them and transfers a lot of those things over to all his other syndicated and cable shows

Everything gets brighter and much more colorful, full of pop and razzle dazzle

By the Summer of '86, he pretty much has it running smooth and thats when he kills the old Championship Wrestling and All Star Wrestling tv shows that were taped in the old cow barns in Poughkeepsie and Allentown and creates Wrestling Superstars and Wrestling Challenge as his new main shows and starts taping in major arenas all over the country

Its a really interesting journey to take for someone that enjoys neckbearding out on the nooks and crannies of this stuff
 
A Y2K movie with Fred Durst playing Fred Durst and a movie about Green Berets vs dinosaurs during the Vietnam War.

@Pittie Petey You ever seen this? Apparently The Big Event was originally called Wrestling Hulkamania?

I wonder if that was an official WWF name for the show or if it was just something the advertisers called it in the tv ad, since we've seen in the other news clips posted recently, the news people were always calling any WWF house show Wrestlemania

Either way, I never seen it before, prettay interesting
