Where The Big Boys Play #19/20

[JerryvonKramer]

Here's Starrcade. These shows are only split in two because I have a vague notion that people don't want their podcasts to be longer than 1 hour. If people wouldn't mind the shows being 2 hours+ let me know and from here on we can just go with a longer show format. Don't mind either way.

 

Also - if anyone has any info on angles or storylines between Starrcade 87 and Bunkhouse Stampede 88 let us know. Feedback welcome as ever too.

 

Thanks to Solomon once again for joining us.

 

Where the Big Boys Play #19 – Starrcade 87: Part 1

 

 

It’s Starrcade time again, 1987 style. For this show Chad and Parv are joined by King Solomon who will be the first 3rd man / guest host of our rotating “hot seat”. In this show: Solomon talks about life growing up as a wrestling fan in LA during the 80s, analysis of JCP’s handling and booking of the UWF takeover, Parv’s wife threw out his notes so Chad takes over play-by-play for the first two matches, why did the Midnight Express keep agreeing to scaffold matches?, and the burial of Terry Taylor.

 

Where the Big Boys Play #20 – Starrcade 87: Part 2

 

 

Solomon, Chad and Parv finish their review of Starrcade 87. In this show: To what extent did Dusty’s booking of the tag title match at this show “kill Chicago” for Crockett, were the Road Warriors ever been pinned in the 1980s?, Dusty Rhodes: 270lbs!, the difference between Dave Meltzer’s views in 1987 vs. our views in 2012, Parv mounts a defence of Ronnie Garvin, would you have bought this show or Survivor Series 87?, and picks for the end of show awards.
