This is probably one of the most entertaining things they've done in ages.

Not sure if you've seen this ever so random matchup from 1989 FLORIDA~! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXfqygTWOW0 Mike Awesome vs. Al Perez.

Billy Gunn and Hot Chocolate (the drink, not the band).

Ha ha Al has become kind of a running joke of WTBBP fans. I will say that I think his WCW stuff is largely decent to good including the actual in -ring match of him under the hood as the Black Scorpion. I decided to seek out some of his other stuff in World Class and Puerto Rico as a result and was less than impressed. I come away thinking that Al could have been a good worker and had the tools to be but wasn't willing to put the work in to achieve that. In your opinion, what would you say is his best match in particular? I'd like to revist some of his work, as all I really remember of Al is jobbing in WWF. A side note, it appears he is currently employed by UPS. I hope he delivers a parcel one day to someone on PWO.

You should of shown him Fraggle Rock when he was 6, it would of blown his mind.

I wonder how the data was collected and if it was collected in 2008 when Taker and Edge were the main event of Wrestlemania. That was the first thing I thought of when i saw that list. Also wondering if Vijay Singh won a golf tournament of note around that time. Vijay Singh was the leading money winner in 2008 and won the FedEx Cup, so it sounds like you've hit the nail on the head as it pertains to that year.

I liked it recently when people were watching the *I THINK* 15 year re-release of the Titanic movie, they didn't realise it was based on true events and it blew their minds. Lots of examples of this were on twitter at the time. Quite depressing.

Big fan of 1989, so I am going to go back and listen through these episodes. Chad, Why were you such a fan of Al Perez's work, am I missing something?

I have yet to hear anyone come out and say they were a fan of the Little House On The Prairie re-runs. Hardly surprising. Those re-runs were all over early morning C4 schedules for years here in the UK as well.

Case in point, Memphis used to run for about 3 cents a week and the lads all ate potatoes. Good times!

I love this thread.

It's well worth it Matt! I will start adding some thoughts of some of his matches in the new year.

E.Watts, to me, is closer to looking like a standard man in the street than to an athlete (or to what I imagine what an athlete looks like). I'm with JVK on this one. But maybe in the context of the time he would look closer to one.

People have said this for years, but I don't see it, or hear it, as the case may be. Is it because of his voice, I have heard him likened to Kermit the frog? Again I don't hear that. Care to elaborate on why he is annoying? I think there are FAR FAR FAR more annoying personalities out there. But I do appreciate everyone is different, I'm just interested as nobody has ever elaborated on comments such as this that I've seen online previously. And no, I'm not Chico.

Did you notice Dave completely no sell Bryan when he tried to get a word in edgeways at the start of the interview? Ouch. I honestly think if Dave has something to say, Dave is going to say it, even if it means talking over someone else. This may work in person, but doesn't work as well on a podcast as it doesn't sound very professional at all. But that's Dave I guess, he's been like this forever, so I doubt he is going to change now.

Thank you so much for these OJ, as I have wanted to dip my toe into pre 1990 Lucha, and this will help me immensely.

I think 2014 is going to be looked back on as a extremely important year in the history of Wrestling, due to the network launch and how the ripple effect of it influences other things within the business.

"It" isn't rocket science then, is it... Cena can do or say what the fuck he wants out there. Just because somebody like Sheamus or Cody Rhodes may not have had the confidence to deviate from script (big presumption, for all we know they may have discussed the likelihood of something like that happening in DB's hometown) doesn't mean they don't get "it". "IT" I merely said that Cena gets "it", as it pertains to going with the crowd, on the final segment of the go home show to promote the PPV. I don't for one second think that others wouldn't do the same if they were in the same position. It was just an observation.

Fit Finlay seemed to do alright.

Great news Will. Is the show that's in the can 1992: Year in Review?

Yeah, love the WWTP shows, wouldn't bother me if you put the next few shows up in parts.

Cena, being serious, is such a fantastic promo, and calling the audible on the Bryan chants shows he gets "it". Great final segment, probably the best on RAW in months.

No offense, but why would you have Henry sign a yearbook from 89? "Well all I had was this samurai sword, and I'm not gonna NOT get Mark Henry's autograph"

The voters were hand picked due to knowledge etc. I wouldn't of said this if any geek could vote. The six that people have left off are six of the biggest draws of all time, so I cannot fathom why they have done this, other than to get attention for themselves / the list.

Really fun show guys, finally gotten around to finishing it. Sad no more MX anymore however.
