The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Maple Leaf Gardens - November 16 1986
- This is a pretty special one for me because this would be the house show circuit they were running in Canada around the time that I went to my first wrestling shows in Vancouver, with pretty much the identical lineups [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for The Essential Starrcade Part 3
- Hosted by Ric Flair and David Crockett
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for WWF Survivor Series 1987
- Haven’t done this one in a good long while, but this is the UNCUT version of the show instead of the 2-hour edited Coliseum version. Plus they’ve been building up to this show on Primetime Wrestling lately, so it’s good to get the payoff coinciding with [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for The Essential Starrcade - Part Two
- Continuing on with numbers 20-16…
- Hosted by TULLY BLANCHARD~! Sweet, they should totally get Magnum TA and Nikita Koloff to host the next couple of them.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Class Championship Wrestling - May 7 1983
- Your host is Bill Mercer.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Monday Night RAW - October 20 1997
Just want to say thanks to everyone who’s bought the new book thus far, as it’s currently sitting in the top 10 wrestling books on Amazon and has been getting great feedback. I really think it’s my best one so far, although I do [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for the Essential Starrcade : Part One
- So this was a fan-voted collection of the top 25 Starrcade matches in history in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the first one, and Mean Gene counts them down. This show features the first five, shown complete.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for NWA Supertowns on the Superstation (February 7 1987)
- Don’t know what the baseball connection is here. The idea is that it’s a sampling of matches and interviews from various stops on the NWA’s national tour, and that’s about it.
- Your hosts are Tony & David.
The SmarK Rant for WWE Cyber Sunday 2008
- The time is almost upon us, as Dungeon of Death: Chris Benoit and the Hart Family Curse comes out this week, and you can get your copy from Amazon NOW. It’s apparently already shipping from Chapters as well if you’re Canadian, and will be shipping next week [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Monday Night RAW - October 13 1997
- It was a tossup between this and Supertowns on the Superstation, but the Monday Night Wars stuff gets more hits so let’s do it.
- So Dungeon of Death is out next week, although it’s apparently shipping early from Chapters here in Canada, and [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - July 19 1986
- Back with another episode filmed on location during the Great American Bash, the happiest time of year for any wrestling geek in the 80s.
- Taped from Columbia, SC
- Your hosts are Tony & David.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Showdown At Shea Stadium (August 1980)
- This show is crazy rare, with only select matches having been aired on TV before this, but of course 24/7 is awesome so here it is in full.
- Taped from Queens, New York.
- Your hosts are Michael Cole & Mick Foley, since there was [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Class Championship Wrestling - April 30 1983
- Yay! Michael Hayes and Kevin Von Erich return.
- Taped from Dallas, TX.
- Your host is Bill Mercer.
The SmarK DVD Rant for Ric Flair: The Definitive Collection
Charlie Reneke writes…
“I get the impression that you’re not big on writing up recaps for the feature part of wrestling DVDs, so I figured if you wanted, I had already wrote the recap for the new Flair set and if you want to use [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for AWA SuperClash ‘85 (September 28 1985)
- For some reason the full show didn’t appear on Sasktel until yesterday’s update, so I’ve been holding off until now. But I’ve been dying to see the full show for years now, so this is continued evidence of the awesomeness of the people who [...]
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for WCW Monday Nitro - October 6 1997
- Nitro holds no nostalgia appeal for me because we didn’t get it in Canada until late in its run, but people seem to like my take on it moreso than World Class or Prime Time or stuff I really ENJOY watching, so I’ll [...]
The SmarK Rant for WWE No Mercy 2008
- Live from Portland, OR
- Your hosts are Todd Grisham, Tazz, JR, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler…as the Beaver.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Boston Garden - October 4 1986
- Wow, 22 years ago today. I feel old.
- Taped from Boston
- Your hosts are Gorilla & Mean Gene
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Monday Night RAW - October 6 1997
- We start with a 10-bell salute for Brian Pillman, made all the more heartbreaking by the montage of grieving wrestlers who would then have their own lives ended short as well. Owen Hart, Rick Rude, Hawk, British Bulldog…and on it goes.
- BASH SHOW! This was the stuff I LIVED for back in the day. Rather than the standard Techwood studio, they’re taping at a jacked and packed arena show.
- Hosted by Tony and JIM CORNETTE~!
