Takes a lot of playing to know how a particular machine works.We played Skyline a 50s Bally game.There were others but we play Skyline the best.I remember there a machine at the bowling alley that everyone had given up on.I forget the name.It had a cluster of bumper in front of "The Shit Tube".If you could shake it the right way you rack up points and eventually avoid the chute.

That's pretty cool, Dr B! Too bad we didn't play pinball together way back when, LOL!

Once you figure out how the machine reacts,it just a matter of using those reactions to your advantage.

I bet there are videos on Youtube about beating any pinball machine ever! You gotta love the net sometimes when you can find out stuff like that, haha!

Pinball Tutorials might be worth looking into.

Yeah, pinball isn't like video games where someone posts something on Youtube, and the video game maker nerfs the cheat the next day. Pinball machines aren't serviced all that often except when broken, so I'm sure if you find something recent, it'll work!

Good stuff there, Dr B!
Ox was 80??? Wow, that beats Buddy Rogers wrestling into his 70's that's for sure!

Ox Baker's last match was only a few months before he passed.
I found a Fed that was in Eastern Canada in the 90s called World Grand Prix Wrestling.I was where lesser stars went to become champions.Hustler Rip Rogers was International Heavyweight Champion.Guys like Butcher Vachon,Bulldog Brown,Timothy Flowers...wrestled in what they called the Maritime Area.Look for it on YouTube.

Those cards are from the 70s.Butcher Vachon looks young.It's so small Rip Rogers' wikipedia doesn't even mention his World Grand Prix International title run.
The Beast wrestled in the 50s.He's in WGPW in the 80s!Old and ugly and mean!

Ok I'm here to discuss what is wrong with Wrestling in the modern era.
First off there are no jobbers.That is guys who are relegated to the Low Card Prelim matches.Everyone in NXT,Raw and Smackdown are midcarders.Without the jobbers
they are forced to do more athletic stuff in every match.
If you look back to the 70s and 80s I bet you can name most of the jobbers.Do you recognize the names : Rocky King,Salvatore Belomo,Jake "The Milkman" Milleman.Zan Panzer,The Shadow?
Goto YouTube and search Rocky King.He wrestled every Main Event wrestler during his time in JCP.Pez Whatley made King his protege.Rocky managed The Freebirds and helped JYD feud with The Horsemen.
The fans always sided with the jobbers even though we knew they were never going to win.The Italian Stallion's best match was against Dr Death!I think it was a Main Event show.Stallion got a lot of cool spots,he eventually lost but we believed he could take Steve Williams.
So in closing with no jobbers to put everyone over,everybody essentially becomes the same level and in 3 hours of Raw,every match is more or less the same.

Rusty Brooks was my favorite jobber. If you tapped him with your pinky he sold it like it was a sledge hammer. You are right in everything you said, Dr B!

I always liked Barry Horowitz! I'm surprised they let him get the win over Chris Candido a few times, giving Barry a small boost!
Barry won a Pro Wrestling Illustrated award after that, I think. Most Inspirational Wrestler or something like that, yeah!
And of course, Frankie Williams! Frankie was the DEFINITION of jobber, haha!
Speaking of jobbers, how about George South? He made a documentary if you haven't seen it yet:

Rusty Brookes sounds vaguely familiar.Barry Horowitz was good at doing his job.I think he held The PNW Title once.Ric Flair said George South was the best worker. He'd sell move like a Pro  Dr B |
