Wrestling Playlists @pwoloss.bsky.social · 05/04/2026I have no idea how most would react to Tenryu-Brody from 4/15/88 based on current standards. It's not the most exciting match as it's happening but by the end when they are paying off all the stuff they did early, it suddenly feels really great. Slow-paced and building but awesome. Brody's best IMO. 380

Wrestling Playlists @pwoloss.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Made a playlist a while back and have added a few things here and there. I BELIEVE this is every commercial song that played on WWF TV between 1984 and 1986. Doubles as a great soundtrack of the era. open.spotify.com/playlist/5w1...open.spotify.comWWF TV 1984-1986 022
Wrestling Playlists @pwoloss.bsky.social · 01/04/2026This is very true. I don't think I've encountered a single WWF house show from this time period with no good matches at all. There probably is one but it doesn't really come to mind, which means if it has happened, it was rare. 3110
