There's audio available of the interview with all the ads taken out - reduces the length from 1 hr 43 mins to 1 hr 7 mins. Wade's brutal with the ads.

I agree, Loss. But extending that to its logical conclusion would remove all celebrity from the world.

Just finished watching, 3.55 in afternoon here. Really enjoyed first half, and Hhh Batista wasn't bad, and the main was good but poor ending. Took a day off to do this and I'm exhausted too!

Seriously, you thought it was worth telling us that?

Yup, I came here to point the same thing out.

I'm too old to sit up watching anything. I've booked the Monday off work - all I need to do is send the wife and children off to work/school and then I can watch whatever I want from the show. I'll be reading through the thread here as I go.

I’m in the process of catching up with a lot of the podcasts from last year. One thing I really appreciate is that bischoff has a great deal more credibility when he’s taking meltzers writing to pieces than Pichard. Specifically, I’m listening to the bash at the beach 94 episode now. Bischoff is completely dismantling Meltzer’s reporting on business matters. I’d love to hear a civilised conversation between the two of them to see who comes off better.

Please........?

Yeah, can't imagine JR willingly playing along with conrad's schtick.

I don't think I'd enjoy it if it happened every week, but Cornette's thorough reviews of Raw have been interesting. He really concentrates on how bewildering and confusing it all seems for a casual viewer/newcomer.

I like the sound of this. Seconded.

Cornette did a rundown of cards in early February 1986 on a recent Experience. It was an hour into the show. I always skip around to find the relevant bits on that show.

The Hansen book is very good. Goes into real detail on his early 70s work, and really good on the jump to AJPW.

can You Don’t Know Billy Jack (a live-watch podcast series) be removed from podcasts and publications? i cant get it marked as read

Ooops.

They've been calling it the 'annual 30 second royal rumble match' on Raw and Smackdown. Will that really mean all 30 have entered the rumble in less than 15 minutes? Sounds horrendous if that's really the case.

There's no download option on the soundcloud page for Top 50 Wrestlers episodes....

Did Michael Cole say something about it being 30 seconds between entrants at the rumble on Raw? Hope I picked that up wrong....

Was there a FKAABT for 2016? I couldn't find them in the archive. Thanks!

That wrestling psychology talk was tremendous.

I think it's important to ask yourself point blank 'what do I feel like I'd enjoy watching right now?', and make a decision within a minute. Any time I spend enjoying watching what I'm watching is all you can ask for, really.

Anyone else baffled by Wade's fondness for Seth Rollins? He goes on and on about preferring an old school approach to his wrestling, yet Rollins's highspots and lack of consistent selling doesn't seem to bother him.

Hmmmm......I'd say O'Connor is good for one segment per show. Or half a segment.

Bumping this because it's been a year and I think it's an interesting way to take the temperature among posters....
