Pro Wrestling Moments

Terry Canova (@coach_canova) is back & we chat meeting wrestlers, and some of our best and worst experiences, plus the NFL behind closed doors before reviewing the September 29th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling featuring Magnum TA & Sonny King vs Hercules Hernandez & Dr Death Steve Williams, Master G & Brickhouse Brown vs the Midnight Express & much more

Terry Canova (@coach_canova) joins me this week to review the September 22nd episode of Mid South Wrestling.  We chat Terry growing up in New Orleans watching Mid South & attending lots of live shows over the years.  There’s a great story about Mr Olympia, how cable tv changed the game & much more before we go over the show featuring a tv title match between Terry Taylor & Hercules plus the Midnight Express & Magnum TA in action.

Louis Williams, my brother from another mother & long time wrestling travelling companion, joins the show this week.  We do a whistle stop tour of nine trips to North America for mostly WrestleManias and some of our journeying highlights before reviewing the September 15th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling.  This has highlights of the New Orleans match between Hercules & Hacksaw Jim Duggan & a big angle with Jim Cornette.  We have a new video package on the Fantastics, the debut of ‘Master G’ and much much more.

Regular co-host Dan Phillips (@danpffc) joins me to review the September 8th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling featuring a huge angle between the Midnight Express & the Fantastics.  We also have in action Adrian Street, Hacksaw Butch Reed & Buddy Landell.  Thereafter for ‘this month in wrestling history’ we have an epic review of the SummerSlam 1990 pay per view that took place THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY.  This was the first big time WWF show I ever watched at the time as it aired and will always have a special place in my heart.

Mark Dunderdale (@dopper6) & Stuart Roberts (@wakefieldcanary) are back this week to look over the September 1st 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling.  This includes the Midnight Express, Adrian Street making his MSW debut, a bizarre video package featuring JYD (after his exit from the company) & Hacksaw Jim Duggan (who is also in a match vs Krusher Krushev) & much much more.

James Coleman (@MrJamesMargate) returns to review the August 25th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling (episode 259 on YouTube). This is a really strong in ring week for MSW, featuring Hercules vs Koko Ware in an impromptu match, the Fantastics, Buddy Landel vs Brickhouse Brown and much more.  We also have predictions for this weekend’s UFC 252, Miocic vs Cormier.

James Coleman (@MrJamesMargate) is back to review the historic August 18th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling (episode 258 on YouTube).  This includes the shocking announcement from Bill Watts that the Junk Yard Dog has left the promotion, seeking ‘greener pastures’ elsewhere.  We get the introduction of Steve Williams’ helmet, a great match between the Fantastics vs Dennis Condrey & Krusher Krushev & much more on a must see episode of Mid South Wrestling.  We also have predictions for this weekend’s ‘UFC Vegas 6’.

Phil Stegall (@blueeyeddrumr) is back this week, we chat Jim Cornette, Kayfabe in wrestling and the differences between who believed what in 1984 and 2020 and much more.  Later we review the August 11th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling featuring a really fantastic in ring workout segment with Magnum TA, Terry Taylor and Tommy Rogers.  JYD vs Krusher Krushev and video packages on Hacksaw Jim Duggan and The Fantastics.  This is episode 257 on YouTube.

Marie Shadows (@marie_shadows) joins me this week as we chat wrestling, her podcast, her work in progress on a wrestling novel and also her time at WWE.  Later we review the August 4th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling including a big tag team championship match between the defending champions the Midnight Express & the challengers, the Junk Yard Dog & Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

Dan Phillips (@danpffc) joins me to review the July 28th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling featuring a television title match between Terry Taylor & Krusher Krushev plus the Midnight Express, JYD, Hacksaw Jim Duggan & much more (apologies there are some very slight sound level problems in this portion but stick with it as 99.9% is perfect).  Thereafter for ‘This month in wrestling history’ we jump in our time machines to July 2001 and do a deep dive review of the WWF Invasion event, the most purchased pay per view in company history that wasn’t called WrestleMania.
