Thanks to Big Ray’s concept, the PWR Boys had so much fun reviewing the peak of popularity of wrestling in 1987....

We delve into this transitional phase in wrestling lore.   👀Watch this episode on the Professor’s YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@prowrasslinreflection?si=GzBJQTVIY4cKrOBG   FOLLOW THE BOYS ON TWITTER:   The Professor - @pwhustleprof Tommy Wonder - @TheeTommyWonder Jay B - @TheP1JB The Pro Wrasslin' Reflection - @PWReflection

He wanted to go back to the movies and tap into a genre that was culture-defining for lucha libre back in the 70s.... The boys will talk about a cult classic 1971 movie entitled Los Campeones Justicieros (1971-Champions of Justice).... with the likes of blue demon and Mil Mascaras, and the boys will talk about how these movies made these luchadors larger than life and superheroes for all the kids in Mexico.   👀Watch this episode on the Professor’s YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@prowrasslinreflection?si=GzBJQTVIY4cKrOBG   FOLLOW THE BOYS ON TWITTER:   The Professor - @pwhustleprof Tommy Wonder - @TheeTommyWonder Jay B - @TheP1JB The Pro Wrasslin' Reflection - @PWReflection     #tv #television #tvshowreview #tvshow #movies #moviereviews #MovieReview #WWE #WWERaw #Smackdown #TNA #TNAImpactwrestling #impactwrestling #WWENXT #AEW #aewdymamite #aewallout #aewcollision #wrestling #prowrestling #retro #retrowrestling #oldschoolwrestling #WWF #NWA #Wrestlemania #RoyalRumble

With the debates the IWC is having about safety for a wrestler’s career after William Regal’s impassioned tweet.... the professor thought to spotlight when a man was frustrated with a seemingly lack of respect from ECW fans for wanting more blood and more violence... hence the Mr. Anti-Hardcore gimmick of Cactus Jack manifested!!! The PWR boys will tap today’s debate with yesterday’s and talk when is the line crossed between being entertained and literally doing by any means necessary to risk it all!!! Perspectives from a fan and a wrestler make this a really intriguing discussion!

Many siblings can relate to younger brother Owen Hart turning on older brother Bret Hart at the Royal Rumble in 1994!!! The boys will dissect why, even though predictable, it was still very relatable!!! Also, how this turn really helped give Owen Hart a sense of relevancy that he never had before the turn, and sprinkle a what-if scenario if the WWE should have done an Owen Hart beating Bret for the WWE title to really pay off the turn!!!
