Pro Wrestling Moments

Our 'Go Home' series continues along with Justine Cager, looking back at the episode of WWF Superstars of Wrestling that aired the day before the Ultimate Challenge & WrestleMania VI.

Judge for yourself from some of the descriptions of the promos from this show just how many 'energy drinks' were being consumed in the WWF in early 1990.

The UKFF's favourite forgotten son, Swiss Roll, joins me for a look back at one of the seminal music releases of our time - The World Wrestling Federation Superstars present WrestleMania - the Album.

 

It featured 11 'hot tracks' as follows : 

1.  WWF Superstars - WrestleMania

2.  WWF Superstars - Slam Jam

3. 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan - USA

4. The Nasty Boys - Nasty Boy Stomp

5. Bret 'Hitman' Hart - Never Been A Right Time To Say Goodbye

6. The Undertaker - The Man in Black

7. 'Macho Man' Randy Savage - Speaking from the Heart

8. Tatanka - Tatanka Native American

9. Mr Perfect - I'm Perfect

10. Crush - Cold Crush

11. The Big Boss Man - Hard Times 

Justine Cager returns for a brand new show from the Pro Wrestling Moments family - it's 'Go Home' looking at the episode of WWF Superstars that aired the day before WrestleMania 5.

Strap yourself in for a 100 miles an hour build up to the pay per view, and the Mega Powers exploding

Finish off that Turkey and then enjoy myself and Dan reviewing Jim Crockett Promotion's biggest night of the year featuring the following matches :

Ron Garvin (C) vs Ric Flair - NWA World Heavyweight title in a cage

Lex Luger (C) vs Dusty Rhodes - NWA United States title in a cage

Midnight Express (C) vs Road Warriors - NWA World Tag team title

Steve Williams (C) vs Barry Windham - UWF Heavyweight title

Rock 'N Roll Express vs Midnight Express - Scaffold match

Terry Taylor (C) vs Nikita Koloff (C) - UWF/NWA World TV title unification

AND MORE 

Terry Canova & Phil Stegall join me for the penultimate show in the podcast’s history covering Mid South/UWF.

 

We look at two episodes together from November 1987, before a couple of key promos from the December 5th 1987 show are aired.

 

Up first is the final build to Starrcade 1987, we also get the Road Warriors, Sting, Lex Luger, Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Larry Zybysko and more in action. 

 

There's also an announcement about how and when the final Pro Wrestling Moments shows will be released.

We welcome Dan back to the show for a look at two shows from October 1987 in the world of the Universal Wrestling Federation - well I say that but these were ultimately two NWA infomercials for an upcoming ‘War Games’ show and Starrcade 1987.

 

Stay with us as we try and retain some positivity thinking about the glory days of Mid South, while we watch squash after squash featuring the likes of the Road Warriors, Lex Luger & more.

 

Oh and there’s also one of the worst finishes I’ve ever seen in a clip shown of the Midnight Express challenging the Rock n Roll Express for the NWA World tag team titles AND THE MIGHTY WILBUR

Sam, Alex & Tom from the Random Wrestling Review podcast join me for this look back over episodes of the UWF from August & September 1987.

 

The first has matches from UWF’s final ever show at the Superdome including Terry Gordy vs the Angel of Death.

 

The second is a complete format change, with an in studio show presented by Magnum & Jim Ross including Sting & Chris Adams vs Terry Taylor & Eddie Gilbert PLUS ORIGINAL 1987 ADVERTS

 

There is a warning early in the show, but this is not for young ears or those with a sensitive disposition to bad language.
