Any chance of them putting up episodes WWE Confidential?

It might have been dialed down a bit, perhaps given the fact that it appears all that energy will go towards the reboot of the XFL. It gives some credence to the news that Vince has put his personal money into this. Just as an aside, I have to say I really like the artwork for each episode of this, and Bischoff's show. Some of it's a little too goofy, most of it is funny, but this week's episode on Bash At The Beach '94 has a really nice one that could be almost a one-sheet for the show itself.

I'll withhold judgment until I actually see it. Those docs don't shy away from touchy subjects if the programs on Angle and the Hardys are any indication. I would just hope they don't try to wrap it up with some kind of resolution and leave it a bit more open-ended here.

Finished the Heenan episode. Quite emotional towards the end, I didn't realize just how close they were. Bruce said, and I think he's absolutely right, that if Heenan had a podcast it would be huge.

I would agree letting him back on TV would not be a good idea at all. Aside from the optics of it, he couldn't adapt to the heavily-scripted nature of the interviews to save his life.

Wasn't he assaulted by marks when he wasn't even working for them anymore? I forget if it was Facebook or Twitter but one of the comments on the post announcing this show asked Bruce what he thought of ruining a man's life, which I thought was funny (I can have a dark sense of humor sometimes).

Good. Considering the reputations and actions of some other people who were inducted, and as of yet not kicked out, what he said was a drop in the bucket.

I love his anti-Trump stuff on Twitter, but I've stayed away from his podcast because I don't wish to listen to it either.

Sid could have bashed Joe Torre with that camera and the crowd still would have cheered him on.

I watched several episodes of JBL's show yesterday. Kind of a bummer they put the kibosh on it, I thought it was good for what it was.

According to the Kindle link, the publishing company's name is "Walking On Hot Waffles". I should hasten my dream of becoming a writer, sign up with them so I can tell my grandchildren one day that the great American novel was published by them.

I suspect if the book is any good it'll speak truth to power as to what happened between them. Or at least as much as a pro wrestler can, even today. Is it only sold on his website?

Brutus Beefcake's book got a lot of plugs on the latest Something To Wrestle With. Conrad Thompson said something along the lines of it being one of the best wrestling books he's read in awhile.

Halfway through the BTFBB episode, pretty good stuff. Didn't realize he wrote a book, Conrad uses it for a few stories here and he highly recommends it. I'm at where they're talking about the accident, brutal stuff.

I'd like to see them finish out Prime Time Wrestling.

I'm kind of getting back into the show now. Interested to hear both the 83 Weeks episode on him and his rebuttal to Conrad. Not a wrestler, but I'd really like to hear him interview Mike Portnoy one on one. He's been on a few times before but in different contexts, but a straight-up conversation between the two would be great. I've not really enjoyed the times Chris talked to musicians but he's friends with Portnoy and I think it could break through some of the problems he had before with people he probably just met before interviewing them.

Was it filmed?

What's the big drop for July?

If you're talking about the ones in the "Beyond The Ring" category, a lot of them are pretty good. Off the top of my head the ones on the Road Warriors, Dusty Rhodes, and Superstar Billy Graham are ones I've watched more than once. I was actually watching The Rise and Fall of WCW yesterday, which is quite good and surprisingly even-handed. Vince is interviewed but really doesn't have a whole lot of things of substance to say. These docs are, to a degree, sanitized by the company but worth seeking out on their own merits. The WWE 24 series is okay. Again, they're sanitized but few punches are pulled in some of this stuff. The one on Kurt Angle opened my eyes as to just how much he'd fallen, same with the Hardys one that is getting so much attention now.

Jim had a funny line about the heat between Bruce and Jerry Jarrett, suggesting that when he came to WWF Jerry treated Bruce like someone far below his paygrade.

I really would have liked to have seen Jake feud with Arn Anderson over the DDT.

For me, Mero wasn't very convincing as a character when not hiding behind the Johnny B. Badd gimmick.
