Thanks Richey! Appreciate the kind words and yes that last statement is dead on.

Right now it is me coming up with a general timeline with an assist from Chad. Trying to catch all the key angles/stories/matches with some other randomness mixed in.

Thanks Lust! Been having a blast doing the show for sure and the feedback has all been great. Going to be a couple weeks until ep4 as Jeff is on vacation but we will dive back in soon. And yes it is a really cool concept that could be used in various ways.

In this installment of PTBN's Greatest WWE Wrestler Ever Pod Blast Series, JT Rozzero and Aaron George debate the merits and candidacy of Marty Jannetty. They offer their opinions on whether or not he should crack the Top 100 and then discuss some matches that are worth checking out as you fill out your ballot. http://placetobenation.com/ptbns-greatest-wwe-wrestler-ever-pod-blast-series-marty-jannetty/

All of our Pod Blasts on the PTBN GWWWE Project will be posted in here!

Thanks Mick... was time to take down that Savage stalling cold take!

I would say the stunner as well, that was basically when his in ring career started. He took the bump and lit the match for his feud with Austin. He never announced a PPV (or Raw?) after that as well. If you want to go by pure in ring, then yeah 4/98 would be the date not 1/99. That was technically his first in ring match even though it ended before it started.

Lol! That is a fantastic idea... he is going to love it. And thanks! The feedback has been so amazing and the show is a blast to do.

I asked him that (either at the end of the episode or off air) and he said he doesn't think so because he just didn't like the overall presentation as much. But I do think it may have helped.

Thanks Allan, glad you enjoyed. I am looking forward to how long it takes for some of this stuff to really click for him.

Jeff Machado and JT Rozzero are best friends but Jeff has never been a wrestling fan… until now. With decades of wrestling history to catch up on, JT is leading Jeff’s completely clean slate on an educational journey through the wonderful story of professional wrestling. In episode three, the boys head to the Carolinas to introduce Jeff to the world of the NWA where they discuss the differences in presentation between JCP and WWF, what makes Ric Flair great, the appeal of Dusty Rhodes, Ronnie Garvin’s punches, blood, Magnum TA’s penis, whether or not Tully Blanchard is a giant pussy, the greatness of 1980s Russia and much, much more. So, join us on Jeff’s journey to learn all about pro wrestling, get sidetracked with us on many tangents and have a bunch of laughs along the way! http://placetobenation.com/jeff-learns-wrestling-3-nwa-vs-wwf-ronnie-garvins-punches-blood-magnum-ta-russians-more/

Thanks Laz! New episode should be coming early next week!

All set, JR... both have been shifted.

Yes commentary counts because that is on screen. Basically if you want to rank non wrestler performers, just be prepared to know they get a 0 when scoring their "workrate". I don't think you have to score everything evenly, the NJPW system is more of a guide to ensure everyone is factoring in the same criteria and not all over the place. So if you feel one should be weighted more and are consistent with it, I think that works fine too. The issue comes in where someone starts bringing in factors beyond that (like drawing, etc.). Hope you join in!

That said, we are updating the list of nominees and the rules on a google doc, so the info is out there. You can work off that and absolutely submit a list even without joining the FB group, you would just miss the discussion. One option is to create a dummy FB account as well if you want to just be part of this under a pseudonym.

Thrilled to have you aboard JR!
