  1. The sense of hierarchy and gradual progression is amazing. I'm sure it could have been frustrating at the time, but in this boxset-loving age watching it play out is great. I've gone through most of the tv from Jan-August 1990. Hansen had a match with Kobashi in Jan or Feb and murdered him. Just watched a slightly more competitive rematch from June. Every little piece counts.
  2. The id of middle America is a lovely title. Really enjoyed the Brock talk, Bix. And the trademarks last week. Keep up the good work.
  3. This is one of those lesser-discussed topics that I've always been intrigued by. Really looking forward to this. As a suggestion, could you cover all the territories Crockett amalgamated round this time (Florida, Kansas)?
  4. Yeah, really good, intense brawl. I can't think of anything better from Doc before this either.
  5. Not great, but under the circumstances it was a very hot and heavy 15 minutes or so. I enjoyed it.
  6. Wrestlemania hangover's a bitch, huh?
  7. http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2015/03/30/wrestling-fan-to-spend-whole-day-being-told-its-fake/ To be fair, the article is a spoof, akin to the onion.
  8. Yeah, when something even mildly controversial happens I avoid Keller for a while. Getting to the point were I only listen for historical analysis.
  9. It's tricky - when they don't matter to the company (and specifically Cena), it's difficult to get invested. BTW, Meltzer noted a while ago that part of the reason for Cena shrugging off loses is that McMahon hates ANY degree of complaining.
  10. On the WM preview, the discussion of HHH's bloated WM match lengths had one thing missing - v Sheamus, 2010. Fourth match on the card, went 12.09 according to wiki (sounds about right). Any idea why he took such a small role that year?
  11. Agreed. Will was civilised and easy going about it all. Dylan would have eviscerated the poor bastard. Aubrey Sitterson Benedikt: If you thought this Facebook post is harsh, you should see the pages of message board posts about what a shill, idiot, Russo-loving mark I am, and how in a REAL podcast, these guys would "eviscerate" me! FAME!!!!!
  12. Ok, now that you mention it - what about Animal in the mid 90s?
  13. Yeah Steven, listening to it too. It's been giving me the gradual kick up the ass to get back to All Japan.
  14. I wonder what's being said about Will on Aubrey's forum.....
  15. I probably will just start from 1990. I've watched quite a bit of this over the years, but with tape trading costs way back when, never chronologically. I was going to try to just hit the big famous essential-viewing matches, but the more I look at it the bigger this project becomes. Not that I'm complaining.
  16. Listened to this earlier in the week. The big thing that I took from it was the collective cynicism about the severity of Michaels back injury in 1998. Never really heard that before - is it a widespread belief?
  17. 'you do know it's scripted, right?' was my breaking point.
  18. Agreed. Will was civilised and easy going about it all. Dylan would have eviscerated the poor bastard.
  19. Thanks Chad.
  20. Thanks. Another quick question - are there many surrounding matches that really need to be seen to get all the context? Really, I'm asking do you have to watch nearly everything from AJPW in order to appreciate the pimped matches?
  21. Yeah, that's true. Just pulling your leg mate.
  22. He's a tool alright, but I'm sticking with it.
