[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

alvarez - “attendence was announced of FOURTY,,ONE...THOUSAND”
MELTZER IMMEDIATELY - “it was announced attendance of 40,000 but it was only 27,000 paid, and thats with comps and papering the crowd. The 7th biggest wrestling event in missouri history, less than when phil mushnick and vern gagne put on the supercard on january.....8th? Let me check my notes...

....“
alvarez - “well attendance was announced at 41 thous-“
Meltzer unspeakably abruptly- “JANUARY 8th 1976 in the missouri civic center where The Sheik with the Grand Wizard took on Sgt Slaughter in front of 33,000 paid on a sunday which, thats something unique...do you know why that is?”


Alvarez - “no i don’t”
Meltzer “sosososo the clergy....in the 60s and until the 80s, did not want,..professional wrestling shows on sundays.”

Alvarez “...alright...then they played a vignette...”

Lashley out here slapping hands? Homie is made as a huge baby face if they let him go over in this match and get that belt

 

[Ripp]

Wouldn't make sense. He's going to get another shot at the title against ASAP after the DQ finish.

Probably not because he's on raw. Idk how he got to SD to challenge but they won't let it happen twice

 

[MenacingMonk]

Bob needs another long title reign.

Breh



Look at that pic then loon at her profile pic in top left

Like what is happening

Look at the rest of the pics on her ig page. It’s crazy. She doesn’t post natural often, but when she does it’s a reminder to chill

This promo video, big match feel

hopefully Lashley wins

Yeah it got me hype for the match now.

 

[CBoz]

Please tell me Pat is calling the Men's Rumble, it's been stale w/o him.

 

[TOAD99]

Heyman and Brock are great together

 

[LezJepzin]

They need more PPVs at The Dome in St Louis

 

[Womb Raider]

This match up was shoehorned for wrong reasons.

They would've been better off having a legend face off vs Becky instead of Irish Carmella Bing.

[Mike18jj]
