Yup, the rest of it was first rate also. Hope you give Piper plenty of credit for his 1989-92 run. I know it's not up to his 80s tour de force, but there's loads of quality angles and commentating (loved his reluctance to put Warrior over at SummerSlam 90) as well as in-ring stuff with Rude, Hennig, Flair, Bret and DiBiase. No objections to you trashing the Lawler match and a lot of the WCW stuff though

Any chance of getting Cornette on one of these? Jumped out at me on last weeks interview that he'd be perfect for an 80s episode especially.

That kerwin silfies quote is from the Austin podcast,right? He's just a great big mass of charisma, huh? 😴

Really enjoyable show. Gotta ask though, are you sure Vince knew the details before the Benoit memorial Raw? I've never heard that before.

Sounds like a loaded week, looking forward to this one.

Just coming up to wrestle mania on this but I've got to compliment you all on the detail with which you dissected 1984. It was positively Exile on Badstreet esque.

Good stuff lads. And make as many as you want.

Interesting tidbit on RF's Face Off 18 Pearce-Sapolsky - Sapolsky disagreed with Pearce jobbing out Danielson extensively in summer into autumn 2009. Pearce replied that Danielson was very professional and never voiced any misgivings that he may have had to him. Sapolsky said Danielson wasn't happy about it. Thought this was interesting. Never came across any other info about Danielson grumbling about politics in RoH.

That wasn't me asking on his q & a. The mystery deepens....

That shouldn't be an issue here

Really good listen here. Heard so much of Cornette on this type of thing but felt fresh here.

Cool name, Gene!

Marty, I'm curious about a point you made at the end of the show. Were you saying that WWF traditionally didn't book matches differently at the beginning, middle and end of feuds? Or were you just applying that to tag matches?

Cool. Get a move on!

Taking this week off, Pete?

Gotcha.

Brutal. I'll pass. Thanks for the breakdown though Jingus. Got a bit of a bee in my bonnet about non-wrestling talk on wrestling podcasts lately. Don't mind a bit here and there, obviously. You'd think I was paying for them

'There's wrestling talk somewhere on this show.' Seriously? Check out the chatter in the Lapsed Fan thread boys.

'When she's smart enough to be able to talk for 3 minutes on why her style of offense, match pace and body type made the Rock style spinebuster more logical than the Arn one, I got the sense of someone who really cared.' Could you elaborate on this, brainfollower?

You know, there's a lot to be said for Bix's habit of listing a breakdown on the topics covered on podcasts. I'd imagine keeping that in mind whilst recording them also keeps some structure to proceedings.

This is the bit I don't understand. For all the Wrestlemania and Starrcade shows, they bring in Meltzer to do ten or twenty minutes of setup, talking about all the backstory and behind-the-scenes events which led to these shows happening the way they did. That's not even close to being WWE revisionist history. Don't suppose anyone trims it down to the good stuff? 4 hours is a long time if half of it is horseshit.

Great show, looking forward to part 2.

Against Hogan.

Completely misread that, sorry Wishful thinking maybe - a two parter with Cornette explaining SMW would be sweet.

What's the Cornette overview podcast? Is it still available?
