Thanks for the suggestion. I do think this week we will try to come to a "consensus" on all of the end of the show awards. I may throw out an honorable mention or two but this should alleviate the redundancy. Thanks for listening.

Review of episodes 5 & 6 will be up this weekend. For anyone who is going to follow along on Youtube you may know that a poster by the name of hockeymaskguy uploaded the first 70 SMW TV's which covered the period through May 1993. Well, today alone I am uploading June 1993-December 1993. I will likely upload 1994 over the next month. And for those of you who have listened I really would appreciate any feedback that you may have. We want the show to be entertaining with a bit of insights as well. And having Justin watching this stuff for the first time he gives an organic reaction which I really like hearing what he likes and don't like. We will try to do at least 3 episodes per month for this SMW project. Here's my Youtube channel where I will be uploading the SMW TV's from mid 93 onward: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4Qd-0DyPqpO9BRr4Q4BtjgkeSJM7xtxj

Great show as always guys. Oh, and Happy Anniversary Chad!

I hate to sound ignorant but I hope this is what you are talking about. I have never messed with RSS feeds until today... http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:113856477/sounds.rss

I have submitted the show to Apple for iTunes. I also have created an RSS feed. If something doesn't work right please let me know I haven't messed with some of those settings before. I think I have the RSS created successfully now.

I will be glad to incorporate both of these options as well. I will just have to figure out how. Our other podcast covering NASCAR has been SoundCloud exclusive but I will be happy to make this show more available. I will work on that over the weekend.

I have edited the track and now it's downloadable. I just forgot to do it when I was originally uploading. Should be good now.

Constructive criticism welcome. We had fun taping this show hope you enjoy listening.

Hey guys thank you for the positive comments regarding our show. I want to give a little inside view into what to kind of expect. We are doing our kickoff show tonight and it will be uploaded tonight or tomorrow on Soundcloud. So the show will be up no later than 9/19 barring a computer failure during our show or something very strange. We do a weekly NASCAR show right now and I've not had any problems so far knock on wood. We'll give our backgrounds a little during this first show. I consider myself a diehard wrestling fan but I'm nowhere NEAR the level of some of you guys on here. Holy christ I only thought I knew alot about wrestling but I've came to realize I am a peon compared to some of the knowledge dropped on the PWO boards. My main focus is to try to bring you the news, stories, interesting facts, etc about the wrestlers and what's going on as we recap the shows. One of my co-hosts Andy Waddell has been my best friend since we were about 10 years old and we are both 35 now. Andy was a big fan of old school NWA and we were huge, gigantic fans during the Monday Night War Era and followed WCW/WWF/ECW as closely as you could follow at that time. Andy, like me, grew up watching Smoky Mountain on Saturday mornings here in the Tri-Cities. Our racing buddy Justin is a big wrestling fan but he's more of the fringe fan. He's a Cincinnati boy so he's never really watched Smoky Mountain and he's not as big into the history of wrestling as I am. This show will be a look into SMW, it's players, etc but it will also be an education for Justin into southern-style wrestling so I know that dynamic will be fun as we go through the shows. I know as he was watching these first two episodes for the first time the other night he was messaging me all throughout his watching and he went from what kind of hokey shit is this to holy shit that Cornette promo was awesome. Wow, Rip Rogers was a fun guy to watch. So it will be an education for him and a refresher for myself and Andy. We strive to have a fun show that will definitely be one that's not boring but will also give hopefully good insights and maybe some things you didn't know. After getting hooked on wrestling podcasts last year by finding Where the Big Boys Play then diving into other great shows like Titans, Exile on Badstreet, Between the Sheets, etc I really got the itch to do a wrestling podcast myself. We'll see how it goes but if nothing else I hope it will be entertaining!

Fire in the Mountains The Chronological History of Smoky Mountain Wrestling http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:113856477/sounds.rss https://soundcloud.com/ricky-whittenburg/fire-in-the-mountains-smoky-mountain-wrestling-1 Smoky Mountain Wrestling was considered by many the last of the true territories. Jim Cornette had a vision and produced several years worth of quality entertainment to the Southern wrestling fans. Many guys got their starts in SMW and others got a chance to shine. Tucked into a little corner in East Tennessee near Johnson City, SMW was a home town territory for me. This show will take a chronological look into the history of SMW where each episode we will go through the TV shows sequentially as well as cover all of the big shows of the time period. This will be a show where we take a fond look back at a great, underrated territory from the beginning to the end. Each show we will cover two TV shows or one big card. During the weekly show reviews we'll discuss the matches and angles playing out and overall thoughts on the shows. You can look forward to end of show awards including Match of the Week, Dutch's "Ditty" of the Week, Most 90s Sighting of the Week, and Best Interview of the Week. We will also keep a running tab of the top 10 matches in SMW up to the point we've watched which will be updated on the forums after each show. I will post the link to the show after it is uploaded right here on PWO. So join myself Ricky Whittenburg and my two co-hosts Andy Waddell and Justin Edgell as we dive into the history of Smoky Mountain Wrestling.

I always had a soft spot for Dan Spivey doing the Waylon Mercy Cape Fear ripoff. He done great with the part for what short time it lasted.

I actually believe Luger should have beaten Flair at Bash 88. He was over and could have used the rub. I guess the main thing going against that is Flair would have had to win the belt at Starrcade and he wouldn't have looked very strong if they proceeded with the Steamboat storyline in early 89. Saying that, the NWA and Flair didn't know Steamboat was coming in until very late 88. I think Luger in the late 80s to mid 92 is criminally underrated. He was better than Sting and more deserving in my opinion.

Loved the show top notch. Regarding Michael Hayes playing a British gimmick I really have no insights except that I recently watched Wrestle War 92 and Hayes does that Adrian Street grabbing the top rope with both hands and doing that jumping squat thing at the beginning of the match. I actually thought to myself I bet he got that from Adrian Street. Then I hear this podcast and I thought well he may not have done much British style wrestling but I believe he picked up that mannerism from Street more than likely. Keep up the good work. I only thought I knew the Freebirds. I was maybe like a 7th grade level on the Freebird knowledge scale and you guys had PhD's.

Sometime this summer they get the belt on Rusev. He does something so despicable it draws the ire of HHH. Rusev breaks Hunter's back. Stephanie goes to the last resort and brings Brock back at Summerslam to try to destroy the monster.

Quoting you from your Jim Herd comment in your latest Where the Big Boys Play podcast,"Well no fucking shit Sherlock." Just busting your balls a little bit. I 100 percent agree with you.

Oh good weren't we all clamoring for Rock/HHH 654?

Who the fuck are these people?

Oh God please let Robocop save Sting from the Terminator.

Oh cool Kabuki/Muta Sting entrance.

Sting wins fans happy he screws Taker in the Wyatt match turning heel setting up a Mania match next year allowing Taker to win and retire in Texas.
