I wanted to share this excellent quote from the June 15, 1998 Observer

Great post Marc. It never amazes me the knowledge and insight of the posters on this site.

These were posted on WrestlingClassics.

Adding more episodes of WCW Saturday Night on Monday (3/16). https://www.wwenetworknews.com/2020/03/13/exclusive-wwe-network-set-to-add-more-classic-early-to-mid-90s-wcw-as-march-2020s-classic-content-drop/

Looks like 'The Wrestling Collector' is gone again.

AEW has a way to go but this is the start of a REALLY good wrestling promotion, in my opinion. I would prefer slightly less wrestling time and slightly more promo/angle time but each show has been entertaining. I would love to hear a Tony and Excalibur announced show but adding JR doesn't kill the product. Other than that I don't have anything negative to say about this promotion. Darby Allin is getting over in matches he doesn't win! The Tag Team Division is presented as important and consistently delivers good matches. Wins and losses are not simply ignored they actually mean something making each match worth seeing.

Really good match, great way to open the PPV.

Is it just JR and Excalibur? No Tony? I want my money back!

Is it no longer possible to see all of the Hidden Gems by year? The Hidden Gems section has several categories with 12-15 videos each but all of the Hidden Gems don't seem to be represented.

I am really enjoying AEW so far. Solid wrestling, solid stories and solid announcing. Not much to complain about so far. If it were me I would throw a squash match or two in to each show and add a short promo (or two.) I worry about burning out every possible fued/match combination, they don't have a big roster. Also, I forgot how good Tony Schiavone is at getting both guys in a match over. Not sure every announcer realizes their job is to get both wrestlers, the match and any applicable storylines over. Tony does.

This is the AEW version of Hulk Hogan get's the bonus money when people buy other wrestlers merchandise.

I agree with both of these points. I like JR but I enjoy Tony's delivery quite a bit more. Tony is the best at making something feel important.

Awesome stuff Bix! For comparison sake what was the size of the PPV universe during the attitude era?

Bryan voters, what are the 3,5, 10 matches I should check out? Assume I haven't seen anything of his.

Is this free?
