While I do agree they made a good duo, the problem was that they never got the chance to commentate over any major angles or title changes. While I understand why (by 89-90, the WWF had pretty much conditioned their fans to have major angles/ title changes only happen on PPV, or the occasional SNME or Superstars, where Mooney and Hayes didnt commentate), I would have liked to see how they would have put over something that actually mattered.

I thought Heenan put over Goldberg well in WCW, and I dont even like Goldberg. He seemed to have more enthusiasm for him than Schiavone OR Tenay, and his joy when Goldberg won the title was a great moment. It's a shame Heenan had voice and health issues starting in the early 2000s, if he had been able to be there to do commentary for Goldberg's first WWE run, it may have helped him.

I wonder if they'll eventually cover his early wrestling career. They could probably have Austin play himself (he still pretty much looks like he did back in the day).

Bo Dallas still being employed by the WWE is a shock to me, though considering who he's related to, maybe not.

Just watched the Untold documentary on the APA. Nothing too groundbreaking, but Ron and John seem to have a great chemistry, surprised WWE studios never tried a buddy cop movie with them. However, they do seem to justify their stiffness in the ring, and YMMV on that.

If you have the Hoopla app they have a small number of wrestling books, including the autobiographies for Patterson, Bill Apter, Bob Holly, Bruce Hart, Jim Ross, Luger, Shawn's second, and Snuka.

Looking at the intro, there 's also an episode on the British Bulldogs. Wonder how they'll handle that one.

I thought Williams vs Bigelow at Beach Brawl was pretty solid, maybe the best UWF match.

So has anyone read "We Promised You A Great Main Event: An Unauthorized WWE History" by Bill Hanstock? I came across it while surfing Amazon, but I'd like to know if it's worth reading for longtime fans, or is it basically stuff we already know?

Surprised we havent gotten one on the British Bulldogs (or at least Dynamite Kid) yet. Ditto XPW/Rob Black

I know, not a podcast, just a youtube show, but I didnt know where else to put this. Surprised we dont have a thread for this show, as it's really well-done, not just "this angle was dumb lol" jokes, but actually and fairly analyzing all aspects of his topics. He also does reviews of wrestling shows, which is why i'm here, as he recently reviewed AJW Dream Rush 1992:

Not a channel in the traditional sense, but Richard Land's twitter is full of rare clips (no full matches though): https://twitter.com/maskedwrestlers?lang=en

Just finished the Bill Apter book. More of a collection of stories than an actual bio, but Bill comes across as likable, and the stories are entertaining. That said, dont look for any real inside information.

Just read DDP's book. Just a warning, the first half of the book is mostly about DDP's involvement in the nightclub scene, but once he gets started into wrestling it becomes much more readable. Nothing special, no real revelations or such , but he comes off as a likable individual. I'd like to see a follow-up (the book came out in 2000) where he discusses the end of WCW, his WWE run, and of course, DPP Yoga and how he saved the lives of Jake and Hall.

I wonder if the Hart family (well, the surviving members) will be interviewed for the Owen episode (I know Martha and her kids will be on there), as well as Jericho (considering that Owen was Jericho's hero, he may not just be the narrator).

Does the HBK book have any mention of the Vince vs God feud?

Speaking of places I'd like the WWE to run, I'm surprised WWE never did any shows at Fenway Park, especially during Cena's run on top.

Reliving Wrestling is gone, are there any similar channels?

More 1992-93 Superstars episodes are coming: https://www.wwenetworknews.com/2020/04/17/exclusive-april-2020s-wwe-network-classic-content-revealed-classic-episodes-of-superstars-set-to-arrive/

Is Kurt Angle's book any good? I know it came out relatively early in his career (he could really benefit from a follow-up) but with that said, does it have any interesting stories?

Maybe DDP and Luger's books? They were in WCW during that era.

Foley's first book spends a great deal of time talking about pre-Nitro WCW as does Austin's. Just wondering, by "pre-Nitro WCW" do you also mean GCW/JCP, or just the 1988-95 era?

So Tito Santana has a new book: https://www.wohw.com/product/tito-santana-dont-call-me-chico/

Heck, I'm surprised that the Rock and Roll Express were able to get over in SMW, still essentially having the same look, in the mid-90s, the era of grunge.

On a side note, the Internet Archive has some wrestling books on there. Many of them are the ones aimed at grade schoolers and such, but they also have some stuff like DDP's book, The Wrestlecrap book, Duggans book, etc. You do have to register, but that's free and easy.
