Tony did an interview with XPac talking about doing the HTML for John McAdam's old site in exchange for tapes. He's naming exact dates of WAR shows from 1995. There's a PWO poster with billions behind him getting into wrestling.

It's possible. What's interesting to me is that he was the #1 pick in the Former Wrestlers category, which would seem to suggest his standing with them isn't as bad as was thought. It was Current Wrestlers where he struggled, which indicates to me he was punished by keeping himself off of TV so much during the glory days and not having a bigger presence in the industry in the last 15 years.

The payoff thing was more Gulas and then the 90s when revenue was way down. They wouldn't have had such a fantastic roster in the 70s and especially early 80s if the money was so bad, people would have found other places to work.

I agree and commend anyone who feels like they can't support this company on a moral basis anymore! I just didn't agree with what I saw as positioning this as the real line in the sand moment where educated people need to stop supporting the company or be held complicit in it, anyone who has watched for the last few decades has been complicit to some degree, look at that above list.

I'm talking about the Mel Phillips/Tom Cole stuff, not Slaughter.

I don't know how anyone who kept watching after like 1991 can claim any sort of moral superiority over anyone watching now.

It only makes sense that someone with money sees WWE's TV deals, the Bellator TV deal, and wants in. I'm sure there are incorrect details in the story but I buy that we're going to be getting the biggest #2 since WCW in some form in the next 1-3 years.

Hey everybody! I'm a bit of a regular here and I host a podcast with Jerry Jarrett. I really want people to hear this week's episode - we have Eric Embry on and he and Jerry talk publicly together about their Dallas run in the late 80's for the first time ever. It's great wrestling history that I think many here will enjoy. Thanks for your time! Hear it at www.bookingmemphis.libsyn.com.

How do you defend Jerry Jarrett not being in with the money and TV ratings he drew as a booker in a smaller market from 67-87, and the Atlanta run, and as a bonus developing Dundee as a booker to pop Watts's business and Dutch with Puerto Rico. Seems egregious. I know my bias but it has lead to me being more educated on the subject and feeling more passionate about it.

I think I'm literally the only person in the world who has been going through and watching all the 79-80 All Star shows, I just find it relaxing for some reason, so pumped for 81!
