I remember Koko seemed like the least deserving entrant ever in 2009. Perhaps that has followed him even when less deserving inductees have entered since then.

There's a chap on xwt removing the ads from this and the Schiavone shows. Thank God.

Listened to the Bunkhouse Stampede episode today. I think this show is so much better when it's not a livewatch.

There's more chance of both brands having one worthy hell in a cell and TLC match, I suppose....

Undertaker 1995-97 seemed like an inappropriate title for this week. They took in an awful lot of diversions, particularly in 1995.

SuperBrawl episode was good, but Tony going off on an old school rant in defense of Windham v Muta was horribly misdirected anger.

I'm going to jump back in with the SuperBrawl 3 episode. I'm a big fan of that show, hoping they can muster some enthusiasm for it too.

I hadn't heard anyone as critical of the women's rumble as your group. Interesting take.

When are they back in Belfast? Might have to make the trip.

Thanks for the tip. I've fallen behind on these since Christmas - are any of the other episodes worth seeking out?

You slagged off Ax? Then made it available to PWO?!! May God have mercy on your soul.

Just catching up now. I agree that the Blondes-Douglas/Steamboat matches were fantastic. How many were televised/recorded?

Holy shit! Enjoyed this list last year, looking forward to setting aside 16 hours for this.

From the start? As in 2003

http://www.sheetsandwich.com/107-year-end-pro-wrestling-coverage-awards-2017-sheetys-nominees-dave-meltzer-wade-keller-fightful-com-voices-wrestling-lapsed-fan/ Please, fellow PWO'ers, listen from the 50-61 minute portion of this episode. Could be that I'm around you cool 'whatever floats your boat' folks too much, but I really cannot see why anyone's that upset at listing Stroman over Okada in a wrestler of the year poll. Is twitter really that bad?!

Episodes 204, 211, 213 and 214 have been covering specific periods from the 80s and are a welcome return to form.

Glad this thread is still going - I think it's a really interesting question. I was listening to the 605 Christmas special and during the group discussion someone asked what modern wrestling everyone watches. Replies were in the 'bit of this/bit of that' range. Most of them were fans since the 70s and 80s, which gets me wondering if that's the normal way of most wrestling fans - you stay interested/current until a certain point and then just delve into your memories and nostalgia when it's not 'your wrestling' anymore. I'm 39 and can already see my viewing tilting more towards 70s/80s/90s as time passes. I'm very specific about what current matches and angles I watch now (I wouldn't dream of watching anything live). That's partly due to the huge amount of current wrestling out there, but even if there was less I think I'd still be picky. Is Meltzer a massive exception to that?

There was a cool little story with Lance Storm on Keller's show a few week's ago. Storm talked about how well-informed and up to date Jericho is when interviewing non-wrestling guests, but the he (Storm) and other wrestlers were startled at how many well known stories from within the business came as a surprise to Jericho when talking with wrestlers.

My wife bought me the book as a Christmas present. I'm up to the start of 1993 now. As everyone else has said, really good, detailed work on the early part of his life and career. I hadn't really thought about how much he disappeared in the latter part of 1990, that was interesting. And I didn't know the first idea was a tag team with Benoit in late 1992.

Hall of Fame discussion on this week's 605 - looking forward to giving it a listen. Also, I'll say that the Christmas special was very good - much better than the recent backslapping festivals the holiday specials have descended into.

Yeah, it's as if Conrad's thrown in the towel on getting genuine insight out of Tony and has settled for whatever gags he can get. Sounds a bit desperate when he laughs uproariously too.

Wow, no 2s yet. Havent decided myself, but I do love savouring and rewatching stuff. And, in my 26 years as a fan, I like to think I've already watched most of the best American stuff already available, so that counts in option 2's favour (I can rewatch anything I've already seen from the past). The devil had his diabolical hat on with this - it's not that straightforward.

Watched it now. The three matches listed above were well worth your time.
