Really enjoyed the PPV ranking as this was very much in my era for being all over WWF/E. I did though empathise with your pain when it comes down to the years of 15 PPV's and where your brain loses track of "Hmm, is No Mercy 2004 better than Unforgive 2004...". I think mostly I agreed with a lot of your choices but thought Scott's love for Austin/Taker from SSlam 98 was a bit nostalgia driven. I love that PPV, it's one of my all time favourites, mainly because of the way it flows and the variety in the card, but while the build up to the main event was great, because of Austin's concussion amongst other things the match falls a bit flat. One thing I was thinking about in the era of the shows all blending into one, especially now in the LED Board age, but do you think that the lack of different sets etc has anything to do with not being able to differentiate? For example, people love the Over The Edge 98 main event, but I think a lot of people also remember it fondly for the old cars. Backlash PPV's always seemed to be memorable, in part I think because of the giant swinging metal hooks! I don't know, just a thought I had. You could tell when WCW was on the decline to me when all their PPV's started looking exactly the same in 99/00/01, compared to the crazy fake beach sets and Spring Stampede having random stage coaches and hay bales. Bring back the different sets! Thanks for listening and dropping some comments here! I agree with the sets and unique look of the shows helping them stand out. So many these days just blend into the next and that is a big reason why. Agreed on SS98, that is one of his faves and it's hard to shake him off it.

Thanks Mick, I find it to be an interesting subject to break down. It really is the way wrestling evolved.

Yeah Booger never showed up, just a red herring to make you think Hart was out. Savage returns to the booth after WM10 I believe and then Lawler steps in when he leaves in October. There were some good rotating guests during that stretch. Crush wasn't as bad as I thought he would be but the Quebecers, Cornette and Polo all stood out as especially good.

Virgil replaced Kamala and Holly replaced 1-2-3 Kid. Since I am watching all these Raws right now, here is Pettengil's list from the final RR Report: Crush, Kamala, Owen Hart, Mabel, Scott Steiner, Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow, Randy Savage, 1-2-3 Kid, Fatu, Samu, Bret Hart, Rick Steiner, Bob Backlund, Greg Valentine, Billy Gunn, Bart Gunn, Rick Martel, Bastion Booger, Marty Jannetty, Doink, Jeff Jarrett, Tatanka, Ludvig Borga, Tenryu, Great Kabuki & Lex Luger So it looks like Kwang perhaps? Both he and Holly debuted on TV within a week after the Rumble so they must have pushed them ahead here.

Oh God, my nightmare has come true. 365 fucking days of Steven Graham audio.

I never understood why they didn't run Undertaker vs. Mr. Hughes at SS93. If you watch that summer of TV they are solely focused on that match and Gonzalez barely pops up week to week. Also, I saw Savage vs. Hughes in the summer of 93 during the tent tour at the Warwick Musical Theater: WWF @ Warwick, RI - July 18, 1993 Phil Apollo defeated Iron Mike Sharpe Adam Bomb defeated Tito Santana Kamala defeated Papa Shango Tatanka fought Bam Bam Bigelow to a double count-out Doink the Clown defeated Marty Jannetty Mr. Hughes defeated Randy Savage

Having a good first episode is huge these days with so much saturation. Gone are the days where you could grow into the show with your listeners it seems. If your first episode is shaky it seems a good number of people don't give it a second try.

That insinuates that there was quality to begin with.... Nothing says quality like Earthquake match of the week!! Fair point.

That insinuates that there was quality to begin with....

Thanks for revisiting! We did have a lot of fun with that show and am really looking forward to Wm23! Welcome back to the fold!

Funny thing with Nikolai is that while his relationship with DiBiase started with a really shitty premise, he became a pretty loyal foot soldier and hung around for a while. He bought into the cause! Maybe he was missing that leadership in his life that he used to get from Mother Russia. He actually did hang around in 1995 because he is part of the Million Dollar Team behind Bigelow at Mania XI.

How about Harvey Wippleman too. Did his guys suck because of his poor skills or was he drawn to bottom level talent? Was he known as a shit manager so he could only get shit clients to sign with him?

He is a super creeper with Sasha Banks too I believe.
