This was great!

the shiek and abdulla were a disgrace to a even fake business

The ring announcer looks like a young John Paul Dellacamera (renown American soccer commentator).

Well done, Dave! This is outstanding work!

トムジョーンズって…1969年の新春シリーズに来ましたよね？　スナイダー、ダニー・ホッジ、バスターロイド(ルーファスジョーンズ)あと２人くらい居たような？

Dave McLane and George Cannon? Fantastic.

I think this might be from Dec 1971 rather than '75. This is based on the Wikipedia page for the Detroit version of the United States Championship title, which indicates that Bobo Brazil held the belt in December 1971, having won it from The Sheik on July 29, 1971. Bobo would eventually lose the belt temporarily to Pampiro Firpo on August 12, 1972. This could also be from Dec 1972, since Bobo had the title again from December 23 to 30, 1972, having won it back from Pampiro Firpo. The Sheik won it from Bobo on December 30, 1972. Either way it's definitely not Dec 1975, since in December 1975 Mark Lewin held the title, having won it from Bulldog Bob Kent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NWA_United_States_Heavyweight_Championship_(Detroit_version)

Guess Walter Johnson’s a heel now.

Great movie! Great interview! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I areed with everything, wholeheartedly! This is a new "must watch" movie every Halloween season! So much to love about this fresh take on a timeless season! 🎃 Matt & his friends have just begun to make their mark! 🏆

Thanks for the great shows, Dave.

This is absolutely fantastic!

The Baron is an absolute legend. His work in WWA is legendary, with nuclear levels of heat.

In 2010, while on my way back to Winnipeg, we stopped in Bemidji, Minnesota. Other than Paul Bunyon and Babe the Ox, the Baron is legendary there. One of the best of his era. Wonderful to see him again. Thanks for the interview.

WOW! The intro brought back so many memories.

This announcer (Marlowe?) is fantastic. His low key manner and methodically explaining everything is really effective in adding reality. Did they get rid of him for Menacher? I prefer this announcer.

Could this possibly be 1965? They're promoting Race and Hennig. (I got chills just hearing them mentioned. That would be a wrestling grail. No existing footage of the original Race Hennig run exists that I know of.)I think the Dolly Sisters were broken up by 1968. Also Gene Kiniski was WWA champ in 1965. In 1968 Gene would have been NWA champ and not recognized in the WWA. Great upload. Thanks.

Love that porn music intro… 😂

Gracias!!!

Ya me suscribí! Que recuerdos maravillosos ❤

Graham really applied the Figure Four well.

Great ❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

Now we know where Lanny Poffo got The Genius gimmick from. His dad.

Bobby Heenan has a point. Closed fist punches were still considered a Foul in wrestling in those days. Menacker had no business throwing them.

The colour is very worn down. Some bits look like the trippy video effects they used to do on early colour Pop music TV shows. Are these just old tape or were they off air recordings made on some insanely rich fan's early VCR?

40:00 Piped or dubbed audio. That's an awfully loud noise for such a small crowd.

Is this videotape rather than a kinescope? The picture looks like an interlaced video picture and there is no film damage but loads of tape damage symptoms suggesting an old much-played tape.. The only thing which looks filmy about it is the dark corners which looks like some sort of camera copying such as kinescope, in which the edge of the filmed picture is visible - unless there's another explanation for the dark corners.

All ten people in the audience enjoyed the Cholak-Paretti match. 😂

Lol tom jones is full on zest monster

Its still real to me dammit.

Does anybody have highlight video "Scott Steiner tribute prime years"?

Interview starts@ 4:50

Once "Cool" Curt left, it was over.

Super Ultra Awesome

I didn't know that McLane worked for the WWA!

30:20 Corrupt officiating!

23:19 What an awesome bump by The Big Cat!

Great podcast. Great interview. I went to college in Madison so that bar story was hilarious.

Love the forehead punches

To this day, the theme song - “A Banda” by Herb Alpert, is one of my favorite songs because it brings back such great memories of watching Big Time Wrestling. I’d watch it on a little black and white tv in our spare bedroom because no one else in my family wanted to watch wrestling. Bobo and the Sheik were the best

Listening in WV.

Of the wrestling personalities of the 70’s I’d put Menacker over Heenan, if Whalen was in Calgary in the 70’s him over Menacker.

I have a poster with Cowboy Bob Ellis you’ve probably never seen. There are several lady wrestlers, and a few midget wrestlers, as well as Logger Larson and a few others on the poster. The ladies seemed to have been completely forgotten. Tess Anderson, Dorothy Malone, Little Donna. I know for a fact where Tess Anderson is right now. She’s living in Somerville, Tennessee. I know because she’s my mother.

Early comment but I've just started listening, I have no doubt this will be excellent 🤘🤘

Scott was doing big poppa pump even then lol

Everyone remembers the WWF explosion in the late 80s but make no mistake had Korchenko went for Vince in ‘86 the heights they could have reached are absolutely immeasurable! What could have been?!

killer kox couldnt kill a fly

every area had a phony united states champion

these are not hells angels

Don Fargo real name Don Kalt was born in Germany
