The Hog Wild episode is off to a really compelling start, with Conrad going hard at Heenan for working drunk and Schiavone questioning his own avoiding confrontation as a producer back then.

Enjoyed the Hansen/Dillon interviews. Lots of plugs on these podcasts though...

I think he told that story on a podcast a while back!

Just listening to the ranking the years segments now. Allan, I don't know if you were tape trading with Rob Butcher back then, but I picked up the 'Best of WCW - The Hogan Years' tapes. In three 4 hour tapes he covered the Best matches from july 94 to May 96. Bargain!

I think it's just an Ill advised attempt at humour

Thanks. That sounds like a fair comparison between the two.

Could you explain that a bit for international readers, Loss.

It wasn't discussed directly on the episode here, but I always got the impression that Schiavone would get annoyed on air that Heenan was clearly checked out and didn't care about much apart from slipping in one liners.

That's some high praise for steamboat-Luger at the Bash. I'll have to rewatch it.

Listened to the Heenan episode. I'll say the same thing as I did after listening to a schiavone podcast on the same topic 3 years ago. Tony, pick up the f***ing phone and ring him.

In terms of preparation, detail and actually having something to say, Foleys RF shoot in 2004 or early 2005 was very good.

Geez, Grimmas. I thought you'd have no problem with that state of affairs whatsoever.

i agree with you. I listen in spite of, rather than because of the gimmick.

Keller is on podcastone 4 times a week now. I'll listen to his Thursday shows with Mitchell, but can't imagine anything fascinating coming from the Raw and SDL recaps earlier in the week.

Thank you for 2005, 2006, some of 2007 and 2012...... http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/29498-tna/

Well, as someone that listens to all the podcasts and very occasionally gets around to watching the shows, I like things as they are now.

Easily the most excited I've been about a WWE main event since I literally can't remember. Not sure it will be great, but a dream match in an era desperately short on dream matches.

lol

So, this Jeff from Texas. Bit of a tit, huh?

Thought I'd bump this to see if there's anyone wants to comment for the first time, or if anyone's changed their opinion.

Ah yes - thanks.

PWG only runs in one building now and yeah that was it. That building also appeared in the 2nd last episode of Mad Men. Huh? I watched Mad Men - remind me of the scene.

Can this be downloaded?

Really El-P? I learned nothing from it, found it all a bit bland tbh.
