Pro Wrestling Moments

Semi retired Pro Wrestling manager, historian & owner of the fascinating @ChartTerritory website @AlGetzWrestling joins me for today’s show. We discuss his attendance at early closed circuit WrestleMania’s, his incredible work going through the history of Mid South, his favourite match in history (in ECW) & much more before reviewing the very unique March 31st 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling (episode 238 on YouTube). 

Mark Dunderdale (@dopper6) joins me to discuss our travels across the pond to many WrestleMania’s past & some of our personal high & lowlights - from Hogan vs Rock in Toronto to Triple H & Randy Orton’s stinker in Houston. SummerSlam 1992, U.K. house show classic matches from the 90s, this years behind closed doors ‘Mania & much more before reviewing the March 24th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling.

Ben Spindler (@hossWWENetwork) & I chat his incredible quest to watch every match on the WWE Network plus some of the highlights & lowlights from the late 70s & early 80s. We discuss 3 hour Raws & what could be done to make them better, what happens to WrestleMania this year & much more before reviewing the March 17th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling (E236 on YouTube).

@goddtill & I chat wrestling including ‘The Main Event’ from February ‘88, quality control issues in the last AEW pay per view, our favourite moment in WrestleMania history & more then review the March 10th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling.

Philip Stegall (@Blueeyeddrumr‬) joins me this week for a fascinating look at the March 3rd 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling. Philip grew up near Oklahoma & was a fan of wrestling even before Mid South existed, and later attended many events in the area. This is a must listen for historians out there & anyone interested in territorial wrestling. 

ECW original referee Jim Molineaux is our very special guest host this week. We chat Jim’s early memories watching the WWWF, the changing face of wrestling in the States at the advent of cable television, his time in ECW & what he feels was their biggest mistake. The change that happened between the two One Night Stand pay per views, what he’s up to now & then review the Feb 23rd 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling. 

‪@fowl_original & I chat the origins of his fantastically successful YouTube channel, a very niche first live event he attended, some modern wrestling & more then review the great February 18th 1984 episode of Mid South Wrestling‬ featuring the promotion debut of the Rock ‘N’ Roll Express.

A very special bonus episode of Mid South Moments. Now when you throw the word bonus around in the context of Pro Wrestling it often constitutes an extra, time filling match on a per per view that hasn’t been promoted & no one wants to see. Hopefully this bucks the trend with the next hour or so covering the October 23rd 1983 to December 10th 1983 episodes of Mid South Wrestling, with 7 short podcasts spliced together for your listening pleasure. Consider these the birthing process for Mid South Moments, having originally appeared on the Fans Podcast feed at the back end of 2019. Hope you enjoy!
