Outsider

Main Event was a joke. I don't know if they are trying to tell a compelling story, because it's soo predictable. And the steroids MJF is on is causing allot of backne. Anyway the Jericho Ospreay match was great. No low-brow comedy. Just great match and he put over the young bruv. I think the end of the match could have used an inner Circle reunion but maybe later. I'm not saying these cheesy matches don't have a place on the card, but not the main event. The hug was so predictable. TK needs to find a creative booker who knows the business. They have Jake Roberts on the payroll so why not him. And Ginzburg is the most annoying ref. Obviously MJF is scared that someone might shoot on him so he ALWAYS has his little stooge Ginzburg to reassure him that he won't get screwed. I want AEW to succeed but what happened? Quick opinions: i think the Bucks are better as heels. I hope we get a credible World Champ sometime soon. Imagine the big fight feel of Omega vs. Ospreay for the strap! CM Punk should go All In as a heel. And change his look like Hogan did. I gotta go watch the show again because I missed the beginning but I hope ratings get better soon. It will be sad when NXT beats Dynamite. Hopefully TK will start being a boss. Hogan said in recent interview that Vince Jr. was having problems telling talent to do the job. So he would make Hogan tell the guys. Then after a couple years Vince became a Boss and talent would respect his decisions etc.

AEW is becoming a joke. The blood makes no sense when they do juice. Major Joke Fraudster has the strap. Not good. I warned everyone last year that mjf would hurt business. Bryan Danielson could have been a spark to get casual eyes on the product but they went with the Fraudster...again. mjf can't draw $. Say what u want about Hangman but ratings were good. And of course things were great with Mox Omega and Jericho on top. The Ironman match was ridiculous. Bryan had to carry mjf through it. Major stalling as Fraudster needed his water bottle and just resting waay to much. This proved mjf can't hang. The little sequence at the start was waay to robotic. Like something u would see at a wrestling school. Bryan is happy where he is at but AEW deserves Bryan as the top guy. The Gunns held on to the tag titles but I wasn't upset because the Acclaimed will still be strong and FTR needs a reason to feud with the Gunns. AEW is sooo close to getting hot but sadly it's becoming to much of a cluster. WWE is pretty crappy...but they have Zayn and the bloodline which is all they need to draw Major ratings. Yes they systematically try to cool off Zayn because the corporate media execs don't want him to be the man. But as of now we are all entertained by Zayn and Roman etc. mjf can't be trusted with the strap. He screwed wardlow he's gonna cry and make excuses why he can't drop the title when TK finally realizes that AEW needs a real Top Guy to hold the strap. I used to get excited when Dynamite was on my city...now ...sadly I have no interest in live aew. I miss Santana..when is he coming back. Hopefully Ortiz and Santana can reunite.

Yes, MJF has his supporters in the media and fans in the north east. I am almost certain that this championship run wi hurt business for AEW. WHY MJF? Because Ariel Helwani loves him? MJF is not loyal, he's gonna be like Thunder Rosa when it's time to drop it. MJF has not proven his worth. The feud had no juice. Don't buy the hype. Moxley should have gone through another ppv with the strap and MJF can work Dynamite matches to prove he can draw. But Tony Khan is kowtowing to the wrestling insiders and other media types. I love allot of Tony's booking through the years, but something has changed. I hope the Elite can bring some of the heat back. MJF is not main event. Tony probably promised the strap to MJF so he would sign. But Khan should have played hard ball because MJF will not move the needle. His matches usually put me to sleep and his promos are mid. Only positive I can say is that he's looking less chubby and probably eating better and got rid of that orange spray tan. Hangman Page's reign is gonna seem like Hogan's 80s reign compared to MJF. Can u imagine if Barry Horowitz was WWF champ in 1989? OK now to be serious, just wanted to say that this will be bad for business. Moxley should have won and then at Dynamite he could have turned on the fans and formed a new faction of outcasts. The one title that held some credibility is now muddied. I'll be shocked if this reign helps business.

I grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan and always heard my uncles and father talk about AWA and it's crazy how many times Hogan came to these WWF C-towns like Sheboygan, Wisconsin, when he was in the AWA. HERE'S A CLIPPING FROM THE LOCAL ARMORY IN THE CITY I WAS BORN IN. I was a baby so I didn't attend but the lineup is full of stars.

Scott Colton should be fired. This bs he stirred could cost AEW millions. Tony is always trying to appease everybody. I think Tony Khan is a great guy, but he needs a talent relations guy. Maybe he can hire that WWE guy who was stealing titles, lol. I forget his name. Dork order and their equivalents need to remain off TV. I was at Dynamite last year in September, and haven't wanted to go back since. Everything is cooling off. The inner Circle was great. Now Sammy gets married and nobody cares about him anymore. He was better baby face imo. Taz is not very smooth doing commentary. Don Callis is very smooth and witty. Don Callis and Tony should be the main guys. Excalibur is OK. And Jim Ross is fine. But Taz is trying to hard. He doesn't seem comfortable. MJF is waay over-rated, and he will not draw viewers. Andrade has it all. They need to get him in the title picture. I don't understand why Swerve and Lee are tag Champs. Acclaimed should have been crowned in Chicago. The Acclaimed are great and that's what draws the general audiences. Just like the nWo, the Acclaimed have that cool factor. Tony needs to put his foot down and book the right matches. FTR and Bucks should have been at all out. ThunderRosa should have done the right thing and dropped the belt to someone before her "injury." It's obvious that she's worried that she won't ever have title opportunity again. ROH titles carry no weight anymore. I know I'm just stating random thoughts. But I was soo excited about AEW.. and now it's just not fun. I hope CM Punk returns ASAP. But he might be over all the bullshit.

PTBN was the 1st podcast feed I got into, I would love some of the old voices to do some classic review shows, like pre-attitude era stuff. Where the big boys play was the 1st nwa/wcw supercard review show. Pre-wwe network. So it wasn't easy to watch most if these shows. I had a half-dozen on VHS. Anyway, good luck on the future of the podcast network. I've been a fan and I acknowledge you as the OG wrestling podcast players.

Don't mean to ask random question. But...what happened to Parv? Where the big boys play podcast was 1st of its kind. 1st classic wresting pod I ever heard. And there were very few classic review pods, because it wasn't easy to find every Clash online. Even early 90s WCW PPVs were hard to find. I had SuperBrawl 2 from my hometown, but the quality was what u would expect from an old VHS. And the only current product I watched back then was the HOF ceremonies. I didn't start watching again until CM Punk was gone. Right when Danielson got hot. Anyway I hope everyone is well. Just wanted yall to know I appreciate the work you all put in the PTBN Shows. When u started, I listened to the shows on my iPod, now that seems crazy.

Lee Moriorty? Great in ring, but it means nothing if you don't have charisma. He's young so he has time. Anyway soneone mentioned loosely scripted. What do ppl love about WCW or classic wrestling from 80s? It's that feeling that anything can happen. Pre-WCW gets allot of shit...but I enjoy that feeling that anything might happen, Vader might lay-in to Flair at SuperBrawl and Flair had to fight back after Harley told Flair he was embarrassed his self. AEW is getting off track, and giving the wrong guys the push. MJF has his fans in the wrestling media types for various reasons, but he's not a star I'm my opinion. Maybe a glorified manager. The greatest heels took their losses to satisfy the fans. When they put him over every match It's simply stupid. It makes his opponents look weak. I hate it when these writers say he's an old school heel. Far from it. FTR gets it. They can lose matches, but never lose steam. Same with Baker. She lost the match that really made her. Don't know what is up with Tessa, but if she ran into the ring face to face with Britt, that would be "box-office." Inner Circle was the draw that got me to buy a ticket to Dynamite, and I hope Santana and Ortiz get their TV time. I love Dylan's son. I mean Luke perry's son, but LAX should have the straps before Dyno & Dylan Jr. Deeb is a great asset to the company because she can help the women's division.

I posted this? Where is the link? Lol. I remember the newsletters on my laptop. I think it was that Google drive collection.

I listened and still listen to every WOR and Dave tends to get excited about something or someone in the moment. He often says "(insert name) is one of the top 2 or 3 greatest wrestlers in the world." I like his stuff on the details or historical knowledge on business side. You gotta take his opinions with grain of salt. Although his MMA opinions boggle my mind.

Let me know if I'm on the money. Or if I'm wrong about something. Thanks I appreciate it

Best things from recent AEW is: Andrade - I wish he would do that promo where he told his manager " I am the boss." With his accent it gives me Narcos vibes. Darby - of course. Brit Baker - her confidence keeps growing. Reba is hilarious and Hayter my girl. Sabrina Deeb - best in ring talent, she needs to be making the big bucks to help train the current roster. Nick Jackson's new found confidence - I love the macho man strut. Never gets old. Dan Lambert- he gets it. I was big LAX fan so I still love Santana & Ortiz but they have not shined recently The acclaimed are great. Max has charisma and Bowens can work. Worst things and or most overrated: MJF - ok get heat, but nobody ever gets revenge. He's just an entitled chubby rich kid. His promos are waaay Overrated. Maybe the wrestling writers have something in common with him and can relate. And I get that. But he had 1 match that I enjoyed. The match vs. Sammy Guevara. His in-ring is mid. His promos are just him putting himself over which only works when u have years of talent to stand on. FTR & Wardlow are better without him. The heat he gets is Eva Marie heat. Dark order - I don't get it now that Huber is gone. RIP. Just bunch of nerds. I had hoped it was going somewhere, but now I wish they would keep it on Dark or BTE. Maybe #10 I think might have talent. Tony Khan needs to dump some of these bums. Anna and the Brazilian broad can get over without these jobronis. Nila rose - I just don't think she fits with this group of women. Maybe she can take Nia jaxx spot in WWE. To end on a good note, I forgot to mention Pentagon and Fenix. They were mega over at the couple shows I went to in Milwaukee and Chicago. The reason I might sound harsh on Dark order, is because when the show isţ not cool anymore, the ratings will tank. I loved nWo and went to Nitro because I thought Scott Hall and Hollywood Hogan were so bad ass and cool. But when they weren't on TV anymore, it was just wrestling. I know some ppl like just wrestling, but I love promos, because look what promos did for Austin and the Rock. They still are funny as heck. Inner Circle is 1st thing that grabbed me in the beginning, but the promos are getting cringey. Darby, Sammy, and Omega should talk little less because they are over, and some of their promos hurt them. This is just short list, of course Danielson is amazing. And mox and miro are proven.

Hope Ed Farhat is represented in this book. I love me some juice!

Gary Spivey One of my last memories of Paul's career. I remember hearing Hogan talking about how Orndorff was a bad ass from Tampa and Hogan was threatened by these types including Dr. D. tumblr_qjq6idZqSd1sj4xr4.mp4

Who had a better physique than Mr. Wonderful in WWF? Nobody. He was awesome. My favorite memories are the Hogan cage match on SNME. And I loved everything he did in WCW.

Arn definitely helped put the dog collar match together. The blood looked fake but Tony Khan probably doesn't want ppl juicing too much. Cody looks awesome and Brody too. I really don't like matches between ppl who are major size differences like Brody vs Orange Cass. Just didn't work 4 me and they are both talented but with all of the huge talent, I want to see Wardlow, Hager, Brody, Cage, etc. Only negative I have is Big Swole. If she can't work a good match with the super talented Serena Deeb, then I think someone else should take her spot. Like Diamante or Alie. Alie was over huge in Impact a couple years ago. I don't know if she has an injury or something.

I didn't know this about Lawler's character, but if u want laughs at Lawler's expense, YOU GOTTA WATCH: 'Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond'

Best Podcast! Lots of impostors but bts is still #1

My highlight...was "A Hunka, Hunka, Honky Love" baby!

The 1st time I saw Garvin was in WWF in '89. I was pretty young and after my mom ordered me a title belt from the catalog, they also sent that WWF 'PROGRAM' magazine and Garvin was on the cover. I think it was a great decision for Ronnie to go to New York in '89, because '89 is a year like no other. Almost Everyone from 1989 has transcended into a mega Super Star. Just look at the Brain Busters. Arn said he was way more over after his run in WWF. 89 is a special year. You got WM5. You got No Holds Barred, which my uncle took me to see. I was only 6 or 7. I think 89 was the peak of the Golden Era. RUGGED RONNIE GARVIN WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR HIS VALENTINE FEUD. NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLING CHAMPION

Why is it so hard to get pro wrestling on a corporate cable channel? Personally, I think IMPACT is allot more entertaining than Raw. 3 fuggin hours of RAW is ridiculous. Use the last hour for classic programming. I think it would help promote the network. And why are promos so edited and written for everyone in WWE? Remember how much more interesting promos were when the talent had artistic freedom? 1 of the reasons that Nitro was so popular.
