I meant to say I don't think any other titles post Fall Brawl 93 were released until 1998.

Oh yeah, all PPVs from Starrcade 89 to Fall Brawl 93 (with the exception of Slamboree 93) were released, with varying degrees of editing.

Took a quick look through some Superstars of Wrestling and they reviewed GAB 90, Havoc 90 and SuperBrawl 1 and 2 in August 1992. WrestleWar 90 and 91 were reviewed in January 1993 (That sounds about right - I remember thinking it was odd that WrestleWar 90 was released way out of sequence). Then SuperBrawl 3 was covered in September 1993, and mentioned that 1992's WrestleWar, Beach Blast and Starrcade were also available. Then Beach Blast 93 and Fall Brawl 93 were reviewed in April 1994. I don't think any other titles were given official releases until 1998.

What about the WCW videos? I remember getting them all ASAP as they came out.The videos were a big part too. The first tape I bought was Great American Bash 90 and the first match on it was Midnight Express vs The Southern Boys. I loved it and still call that one of my favourite matches 25 years after I saw it. That match played a big part in me appreciating The Midnights and in turn being excited to see the Heavenly Bodies as their direct descendants. Any idea when they came out? I'm sure it was sometime in 91 but can't quite remember.

Yeah, Superstars of Wrestling certainly gave Smoky Mountain plenty of positive play in 1993, and I thought the Steiners-Bodies match was the 2nd best thing at Summerslam (behind Bret-Doink/Lawler).

How bad is Alvarez really? I get the impression he's a big enough fan of modern US but there seems to be gaping holes in his pre-1996 knowledge.

I'm digging the theme of early 90's UK fandom that's emerging in this show. To that point - Alan, what time period were you referring to when you talked about PPVs airing on a delay on Sky Sports? How early on did that happen?

I'm a sue the shooter man myself.

Wow - if anything, I think the top 10 has improved recently because it acts as a springboard to numerous other topics with the rotating co hosts adding something different each week.

Does anyone on youtube or dailymotion put up single match files of Raw and Smackdown matches? I'd like to hold onto some of the main events.

They don't. Far too modern for 605.

I'd love to hear some discussion about the use of music in WWF from 1985-93. At the beginning, having music made a wrestler stand out. By the end of that period, anyone without music seemed really weird.

He wanted to fight. He did. Win or lose, 99.9999999% of the population can't say that. That's ballsy for someone who really isn't a natural athlete. I respect him. And lol at the HHH reaction, a guy who probably has never been in a "real" fight in his life what did HHH say?

Well, yeah. Power Slam (and even it's predecessor, Superstars of Wrestling) was my gateway to everything beyond WWF. In 1994, I got in touch with a tape trader advertised in there. Among the first things I ordered were the 1989 trilogy and the Flair-Funk matches. Sampled bits of All Japan, New Japan, Sabu and most 80's US territories too.

Had you not watched much NWA prior to the Flair DVD? I've mentioned this before, but I'd love to get a sense of when and how your fandom developed.

I've listened to the Montreal episode today. Maybe it's listening to so many so quickly, but Conrad's investigative reportor stance and Prichard's coy responses are getting a little tiresome.

Really impressed with the way Conrad cuts through the bullshit on the Warrior episode. He lets Prichard away with absolutely nothing.

Really enjoyable show - great chemistry between you two.

Really liked the bit at the start on wrestling fandom. I'm in a similar jaded position with WWE - I don't like everything that goes on, but I've bigger fish to fry.

Any chance of time stamps on this? Please.

Really enjoyed that interview. Great podcast for unearthing curios.

Come on - don't leave a man wondering.... What's so objectionable about Johnny Weaver?

Not just Renee - the whole thing was 'Slater's southern, let's laugh at him'.

Parv, have you listened Flair's podcasys with Valentine and Patera yet? If so, any good?
