This Day in Wrestling History: 12/24/19

12/24/2019

 
As always wrestling gives us both great memories and memories we try and forget, but with the amount of moments worth remembering that have happened we are bound to forget some. The same could be said about some talent that were very much underrated during their career or never at the top of a company during a run this unfortunately makes it easier for fans to forget certain talent. These two are very different talent and had two very different careers while they worked in this great business. Sometimes we encounter those that deserve to be remembered and acknowledged. I would like to wish a very big Happy Birthday to all who are celebrating their special day today and especially to the one featured below.​

Nerd Note: Brad Anderson is a second generation star the son of Gene Anderson and even though he is the son of a very successful tag team performer he never really found his footing on the big scale. In my opinion, Brand Anderson is one of those stars that would've benefited from having a different name to allow him to develop his own personality. However, it never happened and with that Brad did have his chance, but never found his way in the wrestling business. 
Happy Birthday to Christopher Daniels who turns 48 years old
Happy Birthday to Brad Anderson who turns 50 years old

Nerd Note: Before arriving on the main roster Johnny Jeter was prodigy arriving in OVW at 19 from San Diego. Jeter would put all of his belongings in his car and drive to Kentucky. The story wrote itself and Jeter was a top star for OVW before becoming a male cheerleader on the main roster. Think about it seeing a kid who risked everything to follow his dream over a male cheerleader I know which one I'd prefer. 
Happy Birthday to Johnny Jeter who turns 38 years old 
Happy Birthday to Roger Kirby who would've turned 80 years old

DVD Review: Back to the Territories Calgary

12/8/2019

 
It's been a while since my last DVD review and it seems like these might be wrapping up as less companies sell DVD's now and are moving to the more profitable streaming or digital download. The Back to the Territory series allows wrestling fans the chance to hope in the wrestling time machine and learn about wrestling history. Even though they haven't hit every territory they've covered a lot of them and this was my first time heading to the "great white north." Wrestling has a very long lineage in Canada and in many ways Canada is the Japan of North America based on the respect that fans have for the sport of wrestling. I don't know a lot about Canadian wrestling, but this was another interesting and well done installment of one of my favorite series, I just wish they still allowed for DVD copies to be sold. Either way I highly recommend Kayfabecommentaries.com if you want to learn about the history of wrestling. Some of what was talked about on this DVD includes: 

- Early days of Stampede 
- The Hart Family and their legacy 
- Bruce Hart's booking 
- Smith Hart stories 
- International Talent getting their starts in Stampede 
- Stu Hart training Billy Graham, Fritz Von Erich, Joe Blanchard, and various others
- Vince McMahon buying out the territory and the aftermath 
- Plus much more

Nerd Note: One thing worth noting about Noriyo Tateno is she was one half of the Jumping Bomb Angels tag team with Itsuki Yamazaki. The Jump Bomb Angels were a part of the original Women's Tag Team division and were big stars across the Pacific in the All Japan Women's Promotion. 
Happy Birthday to Noriyo Tateno who turns 54 years old 
Happy Birthday to Dave Sullivan who turns 62 years old
