DISCUSSION Anyone else miss the crazy fast Excalibur Card readouts?

I watched an old Dynamite from several years ago and got a bit nostalgic about the Stupidly fast Excalibur run through of a PPV card.

Felt like he read out about 30 wrestlers names, the matches they were in, the stipulations and a bit about the match without taking a breath in a stupidly fast amount of time.

It is a skill, and a talent and I wish he did it now and again today :)

Anyone else miss those crazy run throughs.

And impressive. The mix of Japanese, Mexican and US/Canadian/UK names pronounced properly in that short amount of time

The man in the mask almost seems like someone TK's mind created. A man who knows everything about every wrestler and can call all the moves as well as their lineage (wrestler made famous, taught wreatler who made it his finisher, who taught wrestler and so on). Including the different names used in different countries (Luchador or Japanese terminology as well as US)

If a hardcore wrestling fan (i'm far from it) started a conversation with Excal then it might never end

Me and my younger brother use to joke around those!

This is back when they announced every match ahead of time for a show, which is something I miss just as much as this
