Ok, this thread is going to serve for comments and for me to post pictures of some of the more obscure guys for people.

Thanks for that, Mad Dog! IIRC, Stallion trained The Hardy Boyz but maybe I'm wrong about that?

Magnum TA
Manny Fernandez
Buzz Sawyer
Buzz Tyler
Denny Brown
Buddy Landel
Jimmy Valiant
Paul Jones
Pez Whatley

Now those title belt pictures are a really good idea! :)

I figured those would be helpful. I know I'm always curious about what title belts look like at a particular time.

The jobbers are a tricky grab. Some of the more famous ones I can get pics for but most will be a no. I'm mostly just hitting the guys that weren't in the WWF or didn't pop up in the 90s for WCW.

More jobbers:

Gene Ligon
Mike Jackson

It really helps to have those photo links! I do wonder how fans kept track of all those different titles floating around one show. It seems as bad as WWE in 2001 before WCW was killed off when it seemed like every PPV match was for a title.

The belts change hands less frequently so you get used to guys over the course of several months opposed to having too many titles in 2001 and having a title change on every show.

Also, the new review will feature a slightly different format so let me know how you like it as opposed to the original format.

Good point, Mad Dog about the title changes. Is Mad Dog a Buzz sawyer tribute or from something else?

Actually it's a Back to the Future III reference.

Even better! I love that trilogy! :)


I suppose I was in a Buzz frame of mind given the nature of the shows being reviewed in this thread.

This name has been with me since I started posting on wrestling message boards back in early 2000. I started on 411wrestling.com well before the days when they started trying to be some crappy pop culture site.

Yeah, I liked them better before they had all their various zones--now, I haven't read them in years. I liked Eric S., though: he was bitter and funny.

This is just me...but I prefer the original format. Easier to read, IMO. I think it'd be possible to include all the details in one paragraph while also recapping each match.

Good example is the Magnum TA match. It takes 3 pargraphs/topics to write about a 5 second squash match.

I see where you're trying to go with the "Match History" idea, though. I think it's good on PSR's ROH stuff because those are super-cards...but weekly jobber squashes don't demand such an intro. As they are right now, I feel they bog down the flow of the review.

New review is going to be up soon. I went back to the old format at E's request. I think the plan is that I might go to that format more for feature level bouts. So like all the squashes would be the old format but something like Magnum TA defending the U.S. Title against Scott Irwin would get the history rundown beforehand.

Sounds good. 100% agreement about the use of the "history" tag.

Oh, just so the rest of you know, his review will be added tomorrow (Monday).
