    'There is also this that proves the point that e-books tend to be lazily written and poorly edited pieces of cheap trash' That's the preconception with which I'm approaching this, so I'm a little wary. Thanks for the tips!

    I've done some snooping and discovered I'll acquire a kindle over Christmas. I see Fin Martin's Power Slam ebook has been delayed until February. Oh well.... Has anyone any recommendations? Or is there a site with good, reliable reviews?

    I'm a painter and decorator, working alone most of the time, so I can burn through absolutely sh*tloads of podcasts. When the product comes really hot and heavy I prioritise time-sensitive ones. It's easy to let Austin, Jericho, Cornette and JR build up for a few weeks. Almost always get through Parv, Will and any other PWOers within the week they go up.

    Thanks for putting these up here. I'm looking to give more recent RoH a watch soon - these will be a helpful guide.

    Dove straight in with the 20/04/91 six man tag. That 50 minutes of wrestling flew by. Absolutely first class stuff. I'm coming home, All Japan!
  6. BigBadMick
    Thanks Bill. Nothing essential missing so far, then?

    Part 2 of Austin-McMahon Rivalries was a nice little recap of 2000-02. They had the decency to allow Jericho and JR to question Austin losing to Lesnar in June '02 with no build Anyone know what's on next week's Rivalries?

    Always had this pegged in my mind as a middle of the road WCW ppv from that timeframe, might need to look again to see what all the fuss is about....

    I started watching AJPW in 1994 and have drifted in and out since. Steven, I'm wondering if you think the matches listed would serve as a bare bones refresher course, or are others needed?

    Good show. I prefer Angle-Lesnar in this over the WrestleMania match. Just wondering - do you know if there were any plans for Orton, Nash, HBK and Jericho for the show before Elimination Chamber was added? Seems odd that they were all supposed to miss out on SummerSlam.

    Really enjoyed this one, guys. Roll on part two...

    well I'd say I'm the outlier to that if that's true. He's close to being my favourite guy in WWE right now, and as a whole I think his WWE work has been stellar. I get actively pissed off when the smarky North East crowds shit on him, and chant "boring" and stuff. For anyone wondering about his pre-WWE career, he was atrocious. Dunno how much I'd hold it against him though - particularly if he keeps his good WWE work going. I think his body of work, particularly 2012, is very good. He's rock solid as a performer - a slightly higher up the card Arn Anderson type. It's just his characterisation/caricaturisation that grates with me slightly.
  14. BigBadMick
    Well, you're persuading me that some rewatching is needed, anyway....
  15. BigBadMick
    Yeah, but how strong is the argument for Final Conflict, and how important was he to War Games '92? I immediately think of Windham, Austin, Rhodes and Anderson as more important to that one. Also, v Luger as second best US title match ever is pretty weak imo. And the Iron Man as best WCW match ever? To each his own, but....... well down my list anyway. I do think Steamboat is very, very good, but I think you're overstating the value of these examples.
  16. BigBadMick
    Really good analysis there, Parv. One thing though - Hogan and Warrior typically didn't put on 20 minute main events in the 1984-early 90s timeframe.

    Bingo! Father Ted, anyone?

    Another good one. Enjoyed reliving the whole period. One thing you didn't really mention, and fair enough you were concentrating on the booking, but match quality was pretty high throughout the invasion angle. For my money WWF standards from 2000 were maintained, and SummerSlam through Survivors were all mighty fine PPVs.
  19. BigBadMick
    I watched the first Rivalries too - very familiar stuff as Shoe noted. I'm curious about how they'll handle part 2, covering Austin's comeback from late 2000 onward. The burial in June '02 was pretty brutal.
  20. BigBadMick
    Me too. He's top 10 material for me.
  21. BigBadMick
    I wouldn't be annoyed about it if it happened once, but when the same thing is blurted out every week it grates on me.... a bit. Won't stop me watching or anything like that
  22. BigBadMick
    On Ross's podcast with Mark Madden, he mentioned that Sting and Undertaker don't live far from each other - Waco and Austin. Which lives where? And when did Sting move - I always thought he lived somewhere in California
  23. BigBadMick
    Anyone else get annoyed at the start of each episode when they refer to the Monday Night Wars taking place 'throughout the decade of the 90s'?
  24. BigBadMick
    Yeah, enjoyed it a lot. Imagine if you lads could grab everyone that's ever done a crappy, half-hearted rf shoot and lock them in a room until you'd gone through everything of note with a fine tooth comb. Each interview might last 7 hours though.....
  25. BigBadMick
    Good podcast guys, looking forward to you getting to Heatwave 98 and on into 99.
