Thank god that CBS only wants wrestling guest.

Lex took that so well and was so upbeat about it all. I lost it for the Kansas City lines.

I've never heard Ric talk so thoughtfully and meaningful about wrestling. Lex absolutely brought out the best in him in this podcast. I think he gets Flair better than Flair gets Flair, but he also helped Flair get to actual points of consideration about his own work in ways i've never heard him get to before. I'm about 40 mins in but it's a must listen.

Quick takeaways: Tunney takes the midgets seriously as he's setting up a title match with that result. Martel ended up looking like a massive worldbeater given how you did that. Did Bret tap out or pass out? I'm disappointed that the cup wasn't destroyed.

I vote for Bruce Tharpe.

You did say it first. That's why it's funny.

Can Johnny do a podcast with the History of WWE guy so he can call him Billystar SuperGraham the whole time and then not explain it.

He'll let us see it in 2021

How do you feel about salt throwing?

Didn't David Crockett say in the Flair interview that all the old guard NWA guys disliked Jim, Jr. and that it had been Crockett, Sr.'s son in law that had been the one to go along with the old man to the convention for years before he croaked?

I went just far enough to decide that people who thought he was in the the worst of all time discussion were pretty much idiots. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/29870-honky-tonk-man/

I'm rolling with idiot savant these days.

Sorry Matt. It was so long ago I forgot who suggested it. It was a real fun experience of a match. It's ok. I was just messing with you. I'm glad you had fun with it.

Everyone needs to see the promo, btw. The match is on youtube.

You can sort of have your cake and eat it too when it comes to Gordy.

Doesn't Gordy with Hayes as a mouthpiece (of sorts) make more sense?

Can you write it off on your taxes?

I know what you mean, of course, but I initially saw that and thought "Yeah, they'd be a good #1 seed for a NIT" to the GOAT's March Madness.

A fine Missouri champ who would serve as a challenger to a younger NWA champ though.

Hell of a fun roster.

First one got a lot of praise, but a good chunk of it was "I DON'T BELIEVE THIS GUY I LIKE WON" sort of praise. I still think if you put the two matches together (opening stretch of the second, heat of the first, and some mishmash of the closing segments), you'd get one good match.

Also a comment on the sheer amount of effort you guys are putting into this, yes. I think there's some real merit in this with the research and what not that's been done. That said, we've been in sort of a weird state the last few weeks where instead of a broad range of stuff, we've had two major threads (art and star ratings) that have had a thousand posts each, the Cena discussion, and then almost everything else is this.

This thing is going to make everyone delay GOAT voting for two years.

I thought i deserved a better shout out for suggesting the Mil match. Wounded.
