cm funk Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Curious if anybody bothered to archive those interviews or has any of them saved? Cubetta was an acquired taste and got way too much into trolling, bragging and trying to start feuds with "the sheets" and "the message boards", but there was hours and hours of great stuff there. I miss that content and should have saved everything from there while I had the chance. I was almost done with the St. Louis booking sheet series when he pulled everything. I loved the Buck Robley stuff, and all the various Los Angeles stuff. The Rick Martel booking sheets were fun. I "fast blasted" (heh) him a while back asking if he'd think about selling a burned copy of the archives or uploading them to a pay site like ITunes and never heard back from him. Would be awesome to hear some of that stuff again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Someone had some of them saved at DVDVR at one point. Don't know if any of the Jeff Walton shows were saved which is too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smkelly Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I looked through the Internet archive. One result came up from 2009 and it redirected me back to the current root site. Sorry, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovert Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Just about to head out for work. Ive at least have the Larry booking sheets he put up days before he took the site down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smkelly Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I don't know if cm funk PM'ed you or not, but if he requested them via PM, would you mind finding a way to post them through here too? I'd like to see them. Never heard of them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovert Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Ive 1966/7-1971 booking sheets for sure. Ill upload them and PM them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I know I've got a DVD full of these somewhere (it also includes the ClubWWI shoots). Pretty sure I have some of the random booking sheet episodes also on various discs, but these will be more difficult to locate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Why did he take the site down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 He alienated everyone who helped him get guests and results other than Larry Matysik, who is such a nice guy that he will help out anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Cubeta has a history of starting sites focused on his latest obsession, then closing them down and disappearing off the face of the Earth after he ends up aggravating anyone involved in assisting him with providing content for said site. Someone found info on him running a site on pinball or something where he did the exact same thing. Also his meltdown for 57talk was quite odd, with frequent mentions of his boss making him shut the site down because it was taking bandwidth away from his day job at a gold trading company. Only thing was every indication was he ran his own business, so either he was a troll who put a lot of time and effort into his game or he has legit issues mentally. Along with his frequent lashing out/apologizing to everyone who provided him with "booking sheets" (his bizarre term for match results from a given area) just creeped out anyone not already pissed at him.

khawk20 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I am just as confused after your answers as I was before. He had mental issues that ended up distancing himself from fans interested in the shoots he was trying to do. Contructive criticism was NOT welcome, and if you couldn't help him out at the pace he wanted, it was your fault...and he would blame you personally for it.

sek69 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 It's a confusing ordeal. From what I can gather, after he burned most of his bridges with the people who provided his source material, he started pretending his boss was making him take the site down since it was taking bandwidth away from his day job. Only it didn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out his gold scam job was a one man operation and he was that man. Two things made it funny: 1: Making up a fake boss/implying his shoots were so popular they were taking up all the bandwidth from his company's site (never stopping to think people would wonder why his boss would have allowed him to host pro wres shoots on company servers if there really was an Anonymous 57talk GM). 2: After flipping out on James "clawmaster" Zordani , he constantly begged him for more "booking sheets" to allow him to do more shows. James more or less told him to fuck off politely, and that led to "my boss is making me take the site down". *edit* Holy shit, can't believe I forgot what khawk mentioned. Any constructive criticism led to a beach worth of sand coming from his vagina. After he asked for feedback, mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 My favorite Cubeta meltdown was his claim that Chris And Nancy read like a textbook on building a mainframe computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 The best part was that he vehemently hated the book but was encouraging everyone to buy it so they understood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I love how polite Khawk's "he was nuts" post was, instantly followed up by Sek's "he was REALLY nuts" post with more details. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Cubeta had great guests but knew almost nothing about them unless they worked WWF. He was horrible on interviews with the southern guys like Rich, Dundee, Landell, & Morton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Gary sucked on the shows, but I thought the Budro interview series was good over all. Buddy and Jeff Walton were my favorite guests he ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawk20 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I love how polite Khawk's "he was nuts" post was, instantly followed up by Sek's "he was REALLY nuts" post with more details. John The part that Bix mentions about how he hated the Chris and Nancy book but kept encouraging, almost INSISTING that people buy it to see how much it sucked for themselves is one I forgot about that explains my "he was nuts" comment better than I probably could.

shoe Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I loved how he had Ken Wayne as a guest. Wayne mentions he was the one who found Eddie Gilbert's body. Gary is stunned and ends the interview. He comes back on the air whispering into the mike that he wasn't expecting that. What a maroon. How can you be that uniformed as a host.
