Hi, I started really paying attention last summer when news of Punk and Bryan leaked out. I'm interested in going back into the archive, but I remember from reading here quite a few teething difficulties for the promotion in the first year or so. I had the tv matches below recommended to me, I'm wondering if there's any others I should keep an eye out for, as well as the best promos and angles on Dynamite. Thanks!

Windham? Never saw the comparison there. Can you elaborate?

Yeah, I definitely thought that interview could have been tighter, and only Danielson had the self awareness to note that ‘growing up in my day’ talk was not what we wanted here…

I liked the three late 80s episodes. It’s the only Conrad show still in my rotation.

Great promo and all, but one thing that's confusing me - why does seeing Punk and Danielson shaking hands in 2015 send MJF into a rage?

Similarly with notoriously loud spot callers - should the ringside audio be turned down?

Thanks, I appreciate that - how are the TNA episodes, generally?

Anyone still listening? I noticed some episodes on Texas/USWA/SuperClash 3 that I might try out….

I appreciate your write ups, but can you provide specific dates on match recommendations please?

Is it that different, though? Ostentatious displays of wealth are off-putting, either way.

Thank you for posting these. Your opinions aren’t bad.

Really enjoyed this. Any chance of putting your lists up here (under a spoiler, maybe)?

Is anyone still listening to this? I enjoyed the new format for quite a while, but found that after a few months in JCP it felt like a recap of storylines rather than going deeper as they had previously. I think I finished up around Starrcade 85.

And I would recommend listening to these after each match...

I watched the trilogy about a year ago. You could watch 2 alone, but I think they benefit from being watched chronologically.

Come on, now. Regardless of booking flaws, his work from 2018 until this year was superb. Off the top of my head, tv matches with Roman, Styles, Andrade, Kingston, both Usos, Adam Cole and tags with Rowan were all great.

Just a query about your Top 25 wrestlers for 1990. In saying that Randy Savage was still great that year, even if not provided with opportunities to show that skill, doesn't that fly in the face of everyone else on the list? You're listing off the accomplishments of everyone else in 1990, even stating stan hansen had his weakest year in the 1985-95 decade, and that reflects his low placement. I agree with your overall point about greatness not being displayed at certain times through lack of opportunity, but is Randy Savage the only one given this exemption?

Finished the podcast - what exactly was Jarrett’s complaint in the middle of the show? Something along the lines of the questions he prepared to answer didn’t concern the late 80s and early 90s? Felt weird. Also, are these episodes live on the video feed? If not, they really should have taken a break to talk among themselves..

Listening now. Conrad portraying a moody prick gets irritating quickly. By the way, has ‘chat me up’ any meaning in the US? Here, to chat someone up is to flirt.

Could we get a list of Sheamus's best matches in 2020-21? Keep hearing he's doing great work lately....

Can we get a revised example of a self conscious epic, then? Or was the term all wrong?

I was 18 when Bob was WWF Champion

Bumping this - I think it's always nice to get an occasional gauge on what the mood is like here. I'm firmly entrenched in 1992 WCW at the minute. As for contemporary viewing, I watch Roman's segments and matches on Smackdown, and Danielson and Punk in AEW.

Does anyone know of timestamps for Cornette Exprience and Drive-Thru? There's usually a few topics I'd like to hear, but wading through trying to find it......
