[DVROFFMAN]

@DVROFFMAN I'm sure they took this around the horn. Was the ending the same too??

[DVROFFMAN]

@JIMMYLINE Yeah. I remember my dad almost dragging us out cause it took the crew over half an hour to set the cage up. Had to beg and plead not to leave early.

[ClassicRockDVD]

@JIMMYLINE They didn't carry this feud at the MSG or Meadowlands

[laggerg]

At this point in time who would have ever have guessed that Ventura would one day become governor of Minnesota.

When I was 10 years old, I saw this same match in the old Boston Garden. Before the matches began, my buddies and I hung out by the dressing room to get autographs. When Tony came by, I asked him "What are going to do to Jesse". I a flash, with one arm, he picked me way up over his head and started screaming, "I'm gonna kill him...I'm gonna kill him!". I nearly wet my pants. That's the day I became a die hard fan!

[JIMMYLINE]

FANTASTIC STORY!  That is so great.

[only1monk]

i remember how this feud started...atlas called jessie "half body", lol. he had the whole crowd chanting it, lmao

[truaswad]

spectrum wrestling...some of the best wrestling around ever in wrestling history. do you have any matches from later or previous years?

[JIMMYLINE]

no, I don't. But I do agree- Spectrum Wrestling aired some of the best matches ever.

[truaswad]

i'm from philly and some of the best times in my life were spent at spectrum cards. WWF wrestling,not wwe. i can remember a texas tornado match between sgt. slaughter & junkyard dog v sheik & volkoff that tore the house down. awesome memories from back in the day. from the civic center for the nwa as well. shame how the house shows suffered for televsion.

@buyystocks

I heard the same thing about Tony Atlas ... very nice man; very approachable and friendly, and appreciative. I just looked at a list a few days ago of pro wrestlers that are dead and some of the names whose deaths I had not known about like Mr. Perfect, Earthquake, and Ravishing Rick Rude kind of shocked me. While I used to watch WWF years ago, I have not since 1995 so I had no idea.

@buyystocks

The biggest shock for me was the beautiful Miss Elizabeth's death.
