I've been binging on WWWF All Star Wrestling from February-September 1978 since the frickin' C-19 got me and my family.
Jesus Christ, lot of Crazy Luke Graham on there. You think Muraco was a slob bully in 1981! This guy is awful!
Dino Bravo is good. Crusher Blackwell is tremendous! Tony Garea is back! I love Stan Stasiak. Larry Zbyszko with a sweet mustache! Looks like a riverboat gambler.

I'm at the point where Peter Maivia turns on Bob Backlund, mid-October 1978. Fred Blassie is on every week and my heart swells with happiness!
Victor Rivera plays a really good smarmy heel. Smug asshole you want to see get his face punched in. And his sideburns rival Stan Stasiak's! Win-win!
Okay, instead of 5 minute Luke Graham matches and 2 minute promos, stop, flip back, and reverse it. Luke is good on the mic. Wizard claiming his pants are embroidered "from India" and "I wear a turban because I have an oversized brain!" is hilarious. Vince trying to start shit between Luke and "his half-brother Superstar Billy Graham" is amusing.
Frank "Moose" Monroe looks like Butcher Vachon without the talent. Hairy Goldberg. MOOOOOOOOOSE! (Dear God, Bangor Maine had a 20-minute draw between Moose and Frank Williams once. I blame VKM; he booked that area at the time.)
All these six-man matches every week makes me think they missed the boat on "Trios" titles. Baron Scicluna (with the cape!!!), Stan Stasiak and another random guy taking the pin versus Tony Garea, riverboat gambler Larry Zbyszko and any combination of Dino Bravo/Dominick Denucci/SD Jones. Just odd is all.
Ivan Koloff is great.

Up to Unforgiven 2001. They really booked Saturn vs. Raven on a PPV in a feud about Moppy.
This also has the terrible Kronik/BOD match followed by the criminally underrated and phenomenal Jericho/RVD Hardcore Title match.

Was watching some random mid-south from 1984 last night. Had no idea Wendi Richter was a heel there, let alone that Cornette managed her.

Making my way through 2003 and just got past SummerSlam. It's not good.

At Survivor Series 97, some fan behind Lawler and Ross has a Zeus sign (with pics of tiny lister in that role, so it's not just a name). Talk about random.
