We all have opinions & feelings about the rumor & innuendo coming out of All Elite Wrestling this week. Bryan Danielson is reportedly on his way to the promotion. Not only that, but CM Punk is also apparently in talks to join AEW and wrestle for the first time since 2014. I don’t know any more about it than you do, and I’m not inclined to act like I do. What I can say is that this whole drama reminds me of my wrestling fan childhood. One of my favorite things about being a young wrestling fan during the 1990s was watching wrestlers jump from company to company. Wrestlers that I knew from WWF would suddenly turn up in WCW. Others that I saw rise up the ranks in WCW would move to the WWF. Or, some wrestlers would even go to ECW. Guys like Steve Austin & Cactus Jack would make a pit stop in ECW between stints with WCW & the WWF. Rick Rude would appear on Raw & Nitro on the same night. It was fun to see play out on television, and then it was fun to follow on the Internet once I figured out that I could go to websites specializing in wrestling news & opinion.

-Originally aired September 27, 1986. -And it took only ONE taping for us to decide stuff wasn’t working, so your hosts are Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan. It’s Heenan’s first week and he’s ALREADY doing the shtick where he tries to talk but they roll the opening instead. -And Mel Phillips is your new ring announcer. Lord Alfred left some big shoes to fill, and hopefully Mel is up to the challenge of licking them. KOKO B. WARE vs. THE GLADIATOR -Koko introduces his new friend, Frankie the bird, and tells us that Bird is the Word. It was my understanding that everybody heard about the bird, Koko.
