      For Jim to get as close as he did on most of them shows how much he knows about the business.

      @@christiancoates609 I think that’s why people don’t like him, bruises their egos with history.
      I’ve never been in the military but I was taught to drive big vehicles by a Vietnam war veteran, when he yelled at me when I messed up I wouldn’t let the it bother me cause I was listening to the message being delivered.
      If anything it showed how much he cared I did the job right. These wrestlers should be thankful to be called out, instead of becoming spiteful.

    As a young wrestling fan who grew up on WWE territory propaganda, I had very little understanding of wrestling prior to 1990 but even then I still didn’t understand the inner workings outside of what WWE pushes. I started listening to Jim 7 years ago and now I have a significantly stronger understanding of the history of pro-wrestling and the success of the territories. But what I love about “Guess the Program” is that despite my newfound knowledge on the topic, I see how truly insignificant my understanding is compared to Jim’s VAST comprehension of the history of wrestling to a degree where he can guess dates, locations, and territories based off of five matches on a card. Jim is truly amazing.

    My best friend grew up in a tiny Town in upstate New York called St johnsville that has maybe a 1200 population and a tiny high school that graduates about 35 people each year. In the year you thought it was, 1983, the WWF did the tiniest of spot shows in this little high school outside of Utica. I am in possession of a developed role of old 110 Kodak film from that show where pretty much every seat was ringside. And I have pictures from ten feet away of Andre, snuka, etc. They couldn't have drawn more than 500 people I'm guessing maybe 1,000 because the building wouldn't have held more than that. I have searched high and low in old record books trying to find the show and I cannot find it anywhere, but I know it happened because I have the pictures in my hand with the develop date on the back. Why on Earth would you send your featured attractions to a spot show that couldn't hold more than 1,000 people?!

    • @markbeebe125
      @markbeebe125 Год назад +2

      @@Peachy_Tiger so this would have been literally 82 or 83 when the show happened. Because of the develop date on the film, you can't be sure about the exact date because they could have held onto the roll of film for months before they dropped it off to have it developed. And I don't know exactly what month Vince bought the company from his dad in 82 so there's an outside chance that this show was running under Senior.
      Regardless, I'm just fascinated by a spot show with the biggest names in the world and I can't even find it in the record books.
