Norwood's on Fire
Had a great night of drinking and wrestling last night with my mate.
First up I played him the Edge-Morrison match from Smackdown as he hadn't seen it. We threw about hyperbole such as 'the new Michaels' whilst watching it.
Then we stuck on the Monday Night War DVD. I'd never seen this before and I was warned that it is interesting, but there are points in it where there are flat out lies. This was pretty much what I found to be the case, it was an absorbing watch but would have been handled better by someone objective. My favourite bit was where they said, "the fans were confused, but interested" about Nash/Hall joining WCW.
Also he brought along a 5-DVD set called "Wrestling Gold" which features all sorts of matches from the 70s and early 80s from various territories. There were a ton of good matches featuring Randy Savage and Jerry Lawler that I enjoyed watching, and there is alternative commentary provided by Jim Cornette & Dave Meltzer, I am sure you will realise that that is magnificent! He's left it here so I'll see what's on some of the other discs, however amusingly one other match on there featured a wrestler wrestling against a real live bear. It was odd to say the least!
He then kicked my ass on an old version of Raw V Smackdown, good times
