WWWF 1977 and perhaps beyond!

[WTIC]

Excellent stuff, TD! And thanks to Chad for uploading to Google Drive!

Anyway, here is (with permission) the Rahl Ratings for the wrestlers! Sorry in advance that they aren't in an easy-to-read table, but I couldn't find a website that would convert from Excel to BBCode so the table would look like it should!

neat to see the Rahl Ratings.

Noted a small error on Strong Kobayashi's card. throat is spelled incorrectly on his chop to throat level 1 move 2.

[TDalton]

I'll make that spelling edit at some point in the near future.

I should really take a look at this wonderful work- especially as I have spotted the Golden Terror in one of the sets!

[TTX]

I understand he might have a connection to a certain Duke.

To TDalton and Chad Olson, outstanding job with this project. Simply outstanding .As a huge Backlund fan i was impressed with the accuracy of his moveset (he hadn't yet started using the crossface chickenwing) and I never knew that his deadlift of his opponent out of a short arm scissors was called a Gotch lift. One thing did stand out to me though. I know announced weights varied from venue to venue, but afaik, Superstar Graham was consistently announced as weighing around the 275 range. Did they kayfabe his real weight?

It is a Fantastic Set.....Growing Up in Boston...… and all those monthly cards that my Calendar revolved around this is where my love of the sport began........ And I did love seeing THE GOLDEN TERROR.....and of course......that Certain DUKE!
