I love fantastic beats too. Let me know where they are.

It was interesting hearing Cornette in front of an audience not hanging on his every word. You get used to his podcasts and shoot interviews being a real lovefest. I thought he did fine though. I enjoyed it anyway.

We're on completely different planets as fans Jimmy but I love your writing.

......and I think there were plans for Savage and Ventura to form a tag team in 86. Almost certain that came up on Between the Sheets sometime.

Looking forward to a stiff rebuttal from Pete on Scott's crazy theories.....

I chuckled at Conrad getting all pissy because he didn't know the blood in Austin-Bret at Mania was unauthorised.

About an hour in, enjoying it. How often are you hoping to do these shows?

I'm surprised that the group seemed shocked by how poorly WWF and WCW in 1999 stands up. Is it a case of never really rewatching it since, or just really strong nostalgia for the period?

On to the next show.... Bruce said he was in the third row at WrestleMania 25, four months after being fired. Was he visible on camera? Was there much fuss about it at the time? I ask because I don't remember...

I had a feeling this episode would get you fired up.

I agree with all that. Pleasant interview, but nothing revelatory. It's a pity Chad or Loss couldn't do a run in with the Yearbooks to go a bit deeper....

That whole argument over Hogan's UK tour was fucking brutal. It annoys me that Conrad thinks that's entertaining.

Just out of curiosity are you planning to go with these until March '01? Seems a bit misrepresentative to keep calling it a war if so....

Something I really should be paying more attention to. I'm roughly equidistant from Dublin and Belfast.

Very entertaining show lads. Always nice to have very distinct accents to help with getting to know the participants in a new show.

Kinda/sorta related, but the 'same time exits' in cage matches with Undertaker/Batista in May '07 and the SNME Hogan/Orndorff had a bit of fancy editing on replays....

It's only briefly mentioned on the podcast, starting at the 2.05 mark if anyone wants to check it out. Sounds like Bruce (Prichard) spouting off second hand information though.

The Houston episode - bullshit about nwa on demand then?

Very enjoyable episode. Kelly fit right in.

Listening to the Wwf and WCW sections here reminded me of the poor use of talent in Wcw and the poor talent in Wwf around this time. I always thought the Radicals/Booker/Raven defecting g ould have evened things up nicely around the time.

That Funk v Race review was an absolute delight.

Conrad claiming that the Billionaire Ted skits were one of the reasons Nitro came into existence was sloppy. More positively, I'm glad they're forcing an old school chat by offering 4 Crockett era topics for next week.

Just finished up the Top 100 matches. Really enjoyable listen. Do you have your list available anywhere?

Count me as another who will miss these shows. Hell of a run, fellas!

Caught up on four of these back to back on Friday. I really like the way you draw on your own late 70s - early 80s memories and allow the conversation to veer - gently - into politics and history at appropriate times.
