No wonder I dont like WWE, I haven't smoked weed regularly in about a decade (and that was around the last time I watched Raw weekly)

Yeah, I thought it started with a few big matches, but I didnt want the truth to get in the way of a half assed joke

Has there ever been a more hilarious unintentionally ironic name for anything ever than a show that has never showcased a single match that would be considered a "main event", unless we're talking a D show from the 80s or something

This thread seems like a relic of a simpler time these days

RIP G.L.O.W https://www.f4wonline.com/news/netflix-cancels-glow-after-three-seasons-due-covid-19-321851 Was wondering if/when the 4th season was going to happen. Causality of the Covid era apparently

From what I remember from different accounts, Shane was pretty involved in at least putting the shows together with Vince and few other close inner circle members back in the pre-writer days when a lot of creative was done poolside at Vince's mansion or in hotels on the road. Not sure how involved he was from say 2000 onwards

Yeah, Meltzer gotcha obsessives on Twitter are among the most pathetic forms of life known to man

I thought Pritchard returned to the fold at most only a couple years back, well after his podcast took off, no?

So who is in charge of Smackdown these days?

I don't watch the shows but have been following the development of this angle here, so I have a few questions. So what is the story supposed to be? That they are completely new wrestlers, like an old school gimmick change, a la IRS or Repo Man? Or are they just their old characters in new identities? I'm supposing the former because they didn't "have contracts" until last night. Or is this just typical WWE who gives a fuck if it makes sense storytelling?

It's a really good account of his early years growing up in Canada and breaking into wrestling for sure. I remember it being kinda rushed when recapping the bulk of his career though

I know. He always comes off as a troll, including on here years back, where I remember him dying on the hill of some long forgotten WWE b-show he basically declared anyone not liking a loser, and then being banned shortly after. His books are always highly praised though. I read "Shooters" and liked it at the time, but that was before he went full asshole on here. His Shamrock bio was being praised as one of the best wrestler/fighter bios ever written by Meltzer

Blair was clearly the worker of the team while Brunzell was just a one trick, dropkick-throwing spot monkey

That's amazing

Plus Sasha and Bayley spent time on the indies and would've called it in the ring then

Don't want to ruin bubba's joy, but how many million THIS IS GOING TO BE WHEN THEY FINALLY DO THINGS RIGHT moments have been declared in the last decade and then nothing happens

Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it over the years

I don't think you've missed much. I gave up months ago. As soon they settled into the permanent schedule of alternating between 2010s WWE and Ask Arn Anything the show died. Total waste of Arn

Episode 100 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-100-adios-amigos August 22, 2020 The boys gather one last time (until the 2023 ten year reunion Patreon sellout tour) and shoot the shit on what they loved (and a bit on what they loathed) about the last three years spent watching WCCW. They also talk about what happens to the territory for the rest of the 80s and what highlights and lowlights they will miss. Laughs! Tears? Parallel universes?!?! And someone maybe barfs! It's the end of the road for World Cast!!! Thanks for listening everyone!

Maybe Johnny can coax Boogie Woogie into a territory retrospective pod

Hockey and Basketball feel not so different without crowds imo. Baseball maybe when the games have stakes, but not right now. Not sure how NFL is going to feel. Eagles are my fave sports team, but of all sports it seems like the NFL will be the hardest to watch without the crowd atmosphere. Haven't watched anything current in wrestling in about three months, and not much in 2020 overall really. Not sure if losing interest in wrestling would've happened as fast without the pandemic. I think I'm mostly burnt out on wrestling more than turned off by the lack of fans

In tribute, Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate

Buddy Wayne was the original Friday and then retired wrestler Frank Dalton took over, but not sure at which point

Episode 99 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-99-farewell-to-the-old-barn This episode is dedicated to James "Kamala" Harris. RIP (this was recorded prior to his passing) May 26, 1984 The boys review one last Sportatorium show, taped right after the Parade of Champions. They are definitely treated to some better action than they were when they raised the curtain on this show with January 2, 1982. (Tom "Boogaloo" Shaft anyone?) Highlights include... -Jules Strongbow arrives to bid adieu to the boys for a second time, tearing it up vs Kelly Kiniski -The Candyman is heel vs heel crazy -NWA champ Kerry Von Erich takes on challenger Ric Flair (man, that's weird to type) -Plus one last bonus match: Jimmy Garvin/Precious vs Chris Adams/Stella Mae French (whaaa???), Loser Leaves Town cage match from July 4, 1984! Join us next week for the senses-shattering conclusion to this pod. Who knows what may happen!!!

Yeah, quotations in a thread title always break the board It's funny, I didnt have the handshake issues until this thread was created, now they're constant
