Seeing Jeff Hardy and Chris Jericho in the ring with JR and Lawler on commentary gives me a great feeling of nostalgia. It's like I'm a kid again.

Sgt. Slaughter reminded me of the Walrus from Alice in Wonderland when he got in the ring

[lildude8218]

why is it so hard to understand why the last hardcore match would be contested under hardcore rules King?

Nice, December 26, 1983 is the next show

[darthpipes]

Enjoyed the first show and the second one as well.

Looks like the December 26th, 1983 show will be in two weeks. The Backlund/Shiek match is on the Greatest Stars DVD. It's interesting. Shiek definitely humbles him. I wished they'd show the Slaughter/Shiek match. The undercard includes Jimmy Snuka teaming with Arnold Skaland to face Don Muraco and Captain Lou. I guess it was the final, final blow-off of that feud.

Is that the only show we know of for next week?

[Hiroshi Hase]

Wait, so it's only the 12/26/83 show that's airing in 2 weeks?

[darthpipes]

I think it's airing in two weeks. Usually, if it's on next week they'll show a commercial for both shows during the second hour and they did not.

[lildude8218]

Actually the last I heard was that it won't be airing until October 4th.
