I'm half way through and this has been awesome. Haven't watched a lot of wrestling in the last few months and this podcast has me wanting to rewatch tons of stuff. One question. You guys talked about footage being available for Funk vs Harley in 75' and a 30 minute hair match between Lawler and Dundee. Where can I find these matches? Are there anywhere online (I'm completely broke at the moment and couldn't afford a comp right now). Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah. Although I've always read opinions of the Takada match being a top 3 IWGP Title match ever (and I agree with it) I haven't seen anyone give them 5 snowflakes or call it a "perfect" match.

Lance Russell's interview from last week was awesome. What a great man.

Is DVDVR still down or did it just changed url? http://board.deathvalleydriver.com/index.php?showforum=2 still doesn't work for me.

Yeah, I just thought the Cell was always a big draw until they went overboard with it in the last couple of years. Just curious though, did Flair/Michaels had a better build up than Piper/Hogan (the "big" undercard match for Judgement Day 03')? Was is it seen as a bigger match at the time?

I'm amazed that Brock vs Taker in a HIAC match didn't mean a thing (it drew the same as Unforgiven 1 month prior) but Nash vs HHH in HIAC meant a 70k boost less than a year later.

yeah, but if we don't even know the estimate of how many households could get PPV, there's not a lot we can get from the buyrate percentages.

Awesome idea. I'm the guy who did that thread in the-coli . Pre-2000 is very difficult to know what numbers are 100% credible. Hell, most of the ones I've got from the Observer change from time to time too (I've seen Dave report Wrestlemania V doing 780,000 - 767,000 and like 725,000 buys for example). Nowadays you get like 2 or 3 reports for the same PPV and it's never is the same number . I tried to always put the latest information on every show, but I'm sure there's a couple of PPVs were there is more updated info. When it comes to ECW, I remember listening to Dave Lagana's podcast were he told that they were doing between 90,000 and 60,000 buys at their peak.
