I like it. It gives the event an old school boxing feel.

Pretty much every wrestling show I've seen from before 1988 or so reminds me of Rocky, and I miss that.

There was some red crap smudged across one of the cameras at this event, and I keep thinking that I spilled Tahiti Treat on my monitor or something.

I dig how Steamboat's crossbody looked more forceful than the ones you see today. I think it's because he doesn't get as much air but it's nice.

Well its the Garden and he owned that place, its also sad that he's like the one Pittsburgh based wrestler that isn't a total rear end in a top hat/crazy person.

Heel stalling tactics haven't happened in pro wrestling since last night when Randy Orton used them.

I would have to imagine he crossed paths with Renegade in WCW at some point.

I seem to remember it being a common talking point that around the time the parasailing accident happened, Beefacke had become perfectly acceptable in the ring. That said, I am not willing to investigate the matter, because it involves watching a lot of Beefcake matches.
