I mean you could basically do that now

Converting discs all day today while I'm in the mood. I wish I was immune to the ebbs and flows of personal interest the way some of the other, far more consistent, footage purveyors seems to be but it is what it is.

Tito Santana vs The Masked Superstar is a pretty good main event for a 1997 indie show but the people were not yet ready for wrestling nostalgia. Wrestling was good in 1997, you didn't have to look to the past with one hand down your pants back then.

This is a VERY NJ indie match

They dunked the Cactus Jack vs Doug Gilbert pre-match shenanigans all the way down into the bucket of bullshit and I approve.

Four whole pages of Official Ratings to get mad and argue about! They even have California Championship Wrestling and Continental in here.

Bret's elbow pads look like he put on a long sleeve shirt and then cut above and below the elbow.

Today's wrestling magazine thread of the day is the February 1987 issue of Wrestling Scene! I don't think putting Carlos Colon on the cover was a good sales strategy but Carlos vs Abby is a Top 3 feud of the 80s so I'm also cool with it.

I haven't gotten too far into it but it's not working for me. I don't really care that much though as I have fun playing it. I feel like Hades did the idea much, much better and that wasn't like SUPER SERIOUS either.

I don't care for Sailor White as a Moondog. I don't think that giant chest tattoo works for what that gimmick evolved into once it got to Memphis.

I have the tiniest little clip of Murdoch in Florida from this time period but would love to have more. I want Dick Murdoch cutting promos on Dusty.

The Official Wrestling Ratings! A rare singles appearance for Dennis Condrey on one of these as he's # 10 most hated. Someone needs to make a giant spreadsheet dork project of tracking these across all the magazines on my Drive. I'll give you a No-Prize.

Today's magazine thread of the day is the May 1981 issue of The Wrestler featuring Killer Khan & Bob Backlund on the cover along with Dick Murdoch & Dusty Rhodes.

Honestly what made me play it was reading people trash it as a "Breath of the Wild clone" which seems like a *good* thing to copy to me. It definitely has a lot of similarities but is different enough to me to avoid being a straight up 'clone.'

I have been playing Immortals Fenyx Rising through PC Game Pass lately and really like it. It's probably a 7/10 game that had the potential to be a 9/10 but they cooked it wrong. The story and characters are way too goofy but the gameplay is very fun.
