Alucard Posted December 25, 2016 Report Posted December 25, 2016 Great set of reviews as usual! Quote
El-P Posted December 27, 2016 Report Posted December 27, 2016 KC Timeline with Tully Blanchard is a winner. The fact Tully speaks like a Texas version of Sean Connery in "Indiana Jones and the Lost Crusade" maybe part of why it's so fun to listen to. The idea that old Tully is watching matches of himself on his Ipad in his bed and laughs his ass off at the fact he couldn't get Bob Armstrong out of his feet is pretty cool. Quote

cactus Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 I just finished watching that. It was rather enjoyable, wished they talked more about the Benoit stuff though. Swoggle thinking the murder-suicide is an inside job is both ridiculous and saddening. Most be hard to accept that your co-worker/friend was a murdering scumbag. Quote

El-P Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Back to the Territories with Stan Hansen is another winner if you fancy Cornette and Hansen shooting the breeze about Japan and do not care so much about going into details, since Corny isn't exactly the guy for this stuff apart from generalities about Inoki and Baba. But Stan is an very nice interview so it's quite the good stuff anyway. I learned that Hansen actually screamed "Youth !" while doing the longhorn hand gesture. Quote
BigBadMick Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 I agree with all that. Pleasant interview, but nothing revelatory. It's a pity Chad or Loss couldn't do a run in with the Yearbooks to go a bit deeper.... Quote
