The first 65 tracks are on the PWO Soundcloud I linked above, no?

I missed a lot in the early 2000s, is that when they did that? I totally dont remember show ending battle royals at all

Hahaha, yeah they booked the show as an advertisement to watch NXT on Wednesday. Vince you've still got it you crazy old bastard

I'm having flashbacks to Mania

Is there a tiebreaker if Smackdown wins this match or is this just nothing matters, who cares, nobody references this after tonight bs?

Why is Rey dressed like Doink?

Really, fucking Walter eliminated first?

Well the crowd was dead early and is now rabid, but God damn I hate Adam Cole

Beth Phoenix is just a commentary doll with push button responses or is just reading a script, not sure

I think it happened in the late 70s or early 80s. Just a case of too much alcohol mixed with alpha male personalities afaik

A great Mox vs Allin match topped off a really good show in front of a super hot crowd. Allin may be the breakout star of the year

Fuck Cornette. This show is awesome. Hopefully the scandal blows over and things resume as usual. Really looking forward to what they put together for the PPV and how it comes off in the ring when not constrained by the TV format

https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/the-greatest-world-cast-of-all-time-the-destroyer-tribute-feat-daniel-makabe?in=prowrestlingonly/sets/world-cast-specials The boys team up with the Wrestling Genius, 2019 SCI winner Daniel Makabe, to pay tribute to one of the greatest professional wrestlers ever, Dick Beyer, aka The Destroyer!!! The crew cover the remarkable story of The Destroyer, from LA to Portland to Texas to the AWA as Dr. X, and then to Japan for a legendary run where he crossed over to the mainstream. They cover screwjobs, head shavings, riots, crazy angles, blood feuds and rivalries, and everything in between. They look at matches featuring Hiro Matsuda, Dick Slater and Killer Karl Kox, Abdullah the Butcher, Verne Gagne, the freakin' WOLFMAN, and of course a legendary match with long-time rival, Mil Mascaras. This is a great show folks, one of the best the boys have ever been part of. Don't miss it!!!!

I should've been more specific. I meant the KM website/message board. It vanished a while back. Not a particularly lively place, but there was a bunch of valuable historical info dispersed throughout

Anyone know what the heck has happened to Kayfabe Memories?

This was a great, old school story-driven match and I loved it. This one had all kinds of twists and turns, blood, great heat and a really well done finish considering the stip and the history between Cody and MJF. I'm a little torn on going all the way with the turn last night, but the crowd's reaction was great, topped off by MJF being pelted with trash like a good heel should be. This pretty much sets up the ideal scenario for Cody going forward I mentioned a few days ago, have him work blood feuds and have a groundswell of support, and some creative booking, eventually allow him to challenge for the title again. Jericho also keeps his great douchebag old man run going, barely escaping time and again, and when he is finally defeated for the title it will be a big moment. Cody's had a great year, everything has really come together for him. Great stuff ****1/4

I thought that was a great show. Jericho vs Cody and the post match was one of the best things in 2019 pro wrestling

That was awesome. The match, the angle, great stuff

Really good match with Paige and Pac. Popped for Hangman winning. Cool little rivalry they're building between them

Cody's hot and cut a killer promo like his daddy. Also like his daddy, I think most of the time he should chase the title and work blood feuds. I suppose the WK match Jericho has coming up may precipitate a title switch soonish, but they can likely milk it for a bit longer.

The modern hardcore audience is extremely passionate and supportive of what they love, but there just isn't enough of them to turn back the clock to 1998. This is more like 1995 in many ways, low attendance and irrelevance for WWE, a new contender on the national stage (of course WCW had been national for years, but Nitro was new and different) and a similarly passionate hardcore fanbase wanting change. Things are so different now, though. Who knows what the future holds, something could catch fire, but I dont know if a major boom is still possible

When they revamped the Network they eliminated the year-by-year Hidden Gems setup and have only re added a selection of what was available before. Not sure how much is missing

Yep, good idea

Any thoughts on this week's show? I thought it was another good ep with more subtle angle advancement regarding Tim Storm and Kamille. There is a lot of uncertainty with Storm (is he going to snap and go heel, or is this a slow redemption story with him eventually regaining the NWA title?) and Kamille continues to be a wonderful mystery (why did she interfere during the James Storm vs Cabana match?). The RnR's finally debuted this week. And there was an interesting angle involving the women. Again, the show moves fast but the overall story moves slow. Maybe my favorite wrestling program right now
