By coincidence or design, today both @pwoloss.bsky.social's Wrestling Playlist and @jonathansnowden.bsky.social's Hybrid Shoot discuss the Maeda/Choshu shoot kick incident from 1987. You can read the most thorough examination of one kick you can imagine here hybridshoot.substack.com/p/the-kick-t...

It's A Small World After All: How Pro Wrestling Divvied Up a Tinier Pie in 1988 Coming to Wrestling Playlists on February 15

John Tatum is in a bad way.

November edition is up! Subscribe: wrestlingplaylists.com

The peak of pro wrestling would be that it starts raining frogs during an Inoki-Saito match, and they, along with Choshu, Fujinami, Kimura, Murdoch, and others, start singing Aimee Man's Wise Up.

Up now: With WCCW under pressure to turn business around, Kerry Von Erich makes a controversial return to the ring. The Modern Day Worriers: The Desperation of WCCW Cotton Bowl Extravaganza 1987

Something doesn't quite feel right for Masa Saito.

Please go like the shit out of my comment. (There's way more I could request but I see this as the highest priority at this point.) www.youtube.com/post/UgkxfcZ...

UP NOW: A musical retrospective on Championship Wrestling From Florida from @NINaylor. Subscribe: wrestlingplaylists.com

Tomorrow we'll have a musical look at the legacy of Championship Wrestling From Florida from @NINaylor. Today, Wrestling Playlists offers a list of match recommendations from the territory.

Al Williams sporting quite the look for 1950.

@leecasebolt.bsky.social I think I've become super high on Cyclone Anaya as one of my favorite wrestlers of the 50s. I don't have a feel for his rep.

Woke up to see that Wrestling Playlists has officially exceeded 2,000 subscribers. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has signed up! We'll get the wheels in motion again on Monday. In 2026, we'll finish 1987, complete 1988 & get through most of 1989!

I’m proud to have contributed a playlist this year to the Season of Giving and it’s inspired me to make my own playlists in 2026. Thank you to @pwoloss.bsky.social for allowing me to contribute and for the service he provides to all wrestling fans. If you’re not subscribed, you should be.

The Season of Giving has reached its end. A summary will be in the inboxes of Wrestling Playlists subscribers in about a half-hour.

Tom always delivers! Can’t wait to dive into this!

The Season of Giving concludes on its final day, just as it did last year, with a comp from @teakagee.bsky.social.

Hope you enjoyed Day 30 of the Season of Giving. Thanks to @tkelley1240, @tonyrichards4, and @superstarsleeze for their contributions. We'll be back tomorrow to conclude the Season of Giving and wrap up 2025 in Wrestling Playlists.

We conclude the final Triple Play Tuesday of the Season of Giving with a look at 2000s Japan from @superstarsleeze at ridingspacemountain.blogspot.com.

Tony left out my favorite 1975 match (Inoki / Robinson from December) but nonetheless an incredible array of talent from the heart of the peak of professional wrestling.

The Season of Giving continues with a comp from @TonyRichards4 looking at the top 10 matches of 1975. Subscribe to prowrestlingtimetunnel.substack.com for more from Tony.

The Season of Giving continues with a comp from @tkelley1240, who might be better known to message board veterans as ZubazKid.

Hope you enjoyed Day 29 of the Season of Giving. Thanks to Faust and Tim Livingston for their responses. We'll be back tomorrow with two more! Only two days left.

A very good "sample platter" of Playboy Buddy Rose. You can expect all kinds of Rose matches when my "From the Crow's Nest" series on Portland Wrestling launches this Friday.

The Season of Giving continues with a comp from Tim Livingston, a former play-by-play broadcaster in the San Francisco Bay Area and guest contributor to Segunda Caida.

The Season of Giving continues with a tribute to Buddy Rose.

Thrilled to be invited to share a new collection of matches and angles that make me feel all fuzzy inside.

The Season of Giving continues with a comp from @bigtrosman.bsky.social.

Sorry this is late, but hope you enjoyed Day 27 of the Season of Giving. Thanks to @leecasebolt.bsky.social and @outlawjamboree for their contributions. We're back already today, and Day 28 is underway.

The Season of Giving continues with a comp from @mikecampbell411.bsky.social in memory of William Michael Campbell.

Glen Bray who is an amazing collector of ephemera (Glenbrayarchives on IG) shared this incredible cover from a 1962 fanzine. @pwoloss.bsky.social @algetz.bsky.social @leecasebolt.bsky.social also worth looking at his post on going to Bearcat Wright v Carpentier the night of JFK’s assassination.

Was very glad to get to do this again this year. Tried to give a sample that was the same in spirit but different enough in the particulars to hold everyone's interest.

"20" came early this week so no new episode today, but there was this guy we had as a guest a few days ago, so if you haven't listened, today is a good day to go back and check it out.

The Season of Giving continues with one more comp from @outlawjamboree.

A beautiful look into what wrestling before color TV looked like, and spoiler it's pretty awesome

Two BITW wrestlers contributing to the season of giving

Bryan Danielson is my favorite wrestler to listen to talk about wrestling. What a great listen

Hope you enjoyed Day 24 of the Season of Giving. Thanks to Judd Boaz and Matt Franklin for their contributions, and thanks to that wrestler dude for coming on "20". More surprises coming tomorrow, but until then, enjoy your time with your families and make the most of the season!

I can’t stress enough how good of a resource Wrestling Playlists is.

If you guys want a hour and a half podcast with Danielson talking about what wrestling footage he was influenced by and what he recommends to young wrestlers then Merry Christmas Wrestling Playlists has provided
