just listened to roster analysis -part 3 and I'd like to make a point or two.. rating the wwf roster in comparison to the others is unfair.The promotion didnt need a stacked roster to fill arenas.The Northeast arena circuit ( msg, boston garden, philly spectrum) were a once a month deal,.. and they were usually packed each month, ,The draw was the wwf championship match, the intercontinental, and the tag title match. you also had a fourth match featuring a strong babyface (tony atlas) versus a strong heel( Khan). After that - you had four of five filler matches with the same guys that were in the promotion all year long..( the denucci's, rodz, jobbers, etc, ) it should be noted that the monster heels brought in to feed backlund ,stayed as long as it took to squash jobbers on tv and have a relatively short program with the champion (consisting of two or three arena matches in the circuit). The champion was rarely on tv so the title matches felt important- drawing fans to the arenas ( once a month in each major market). If anything, Vince Sr. plucked a few guys from each promotion for relatively brief programs. Parv did hit on this a bit., In conclusion., Only a few guys and the titles were needed to carry the wwf promotion. Challengers were brought in from the other territories for programs with the champion,,, and then would leave. At least half if not three quarters of the roster was irrelevant. By the way... love the podcast. Oh and for the Backlund haters, Backlund did draw! Nobody left the arena during those wwwf title matches!
