It's always a really great read. So much time and effort clearly invested in the discussion. And a reminder of 'you know, I really need to fill some of those gaps one of these days...' Thanks!

2025 list roll out ongoing....

To clarify, I meant the women's gauntlet underdelivering. I have all the confidence in the world in Storm and Mone.

Really feeling the good vibes with this one, and trying to work out when to watch it here (Sunday evening with a few beers is the frontrunner). The top three matches are absolute killers. But I'm slightly unsure about the two casino gauntlets being booked. Anyone else concerned the women won't deliver?

Watched Night Of Champions 2014 last night. I'm fairly certain that Conrad Thompson was in the front row, opposite hard cam. He was drinking quite a bit and never away from his phone. Has it ever been confirmed that it's him?

Thank you

Can anyone recommend good places for video essays etc? I'm working my way through Kim Justice and Joseph Montecillo on youtube - any other recommendations?

Bumping this because I love visiting every few months to catch up...

Thinking it through, they booked the right amount of top guys, midcarders and lower-rung talent. Really excited for this.

Mortos and Briscoe are the most dispensable on Collision side, but they'll both knock out a few bangers on the way. Benjamin - fairly fresh, needs a decent showing. Same with Garcia - has to do better than last year. Okada and Fletcher the obvious favourites - and they should have a spectacular match.

Darby needs to stay strong if facing Mov at World's End. Same with Castagnoli - enforcer of death riders, too early for him to rack up losses. Ospreay is Ospreay - he can drop a few matches but needs to be in with chance of getting to finals (Ospreay v Okada or Fletcher seems likely final). Ricochet should do better than King and Robinson.

Great first show. Please keep doing them.

I've been watching the best WWE matches from Raw, Smackdown and PPVs, starting with 2000, from about March this year. It's not exhaustive, probably averages out at 50-60 matches from each year. I'm up to early 2007 now. It's been interesting to reappraise the talent with 2024 eyes. HHH looks a lot better now to me. I'm also watching current WWE and AEW, quiet selectively. There's times when I feel like sticking with the older stuff, but I always find plenty to enjoy in present day stuff.

What a wonderful swan song. Thanks for all the shows, boys.

Did US Express have any matches with Hart Foundation? And if so did they make tv? I noticed a photo of Neidhart in the ring with Barry and Mike on HoF....

Are we certain Cody wins this year? More certain than we were last year?

so........is PTB Nation gone?

I'm watching a lot of WWF 2000-2001 at the moment. Would it be inconceivable that Angle was better in those years than when he seemed to be given agency to call his matches more in later years?

Smackdown 10th February 2005. Haven't seen it in years, but I remember enjoying it

I was looking to bulk up my podcast rotation and I see Arn has continued the monthly update fomat up to mid 1994 now. If the answer was 'yes' I assume I'd already have heard, but can anyone recommend this show?

I assumed Orton v Logan for WM after watching the chamber…

Have to think Kingston beats Danielson after their previous match. Not sure who advances in Gold - personally I'd like to see White win the tournament...

Is Foley doing any new episodes? It's hard to tell from the descriptions if any of them are new....

Was any reason given for not having Claudio v Brody King on Collision?

It's 6 tournament matches per week (I'm assuming 2 on Dynamite, Rampage and Collision each) over 5 weeks. Hopefully they stock it up with some headliners. One thing I noticed is that a lot of recent AEW tournaments have lower card folks, avoiding jobs higher up the ladder.
