Sidebottom Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 With the *free* weekly podcast, this is more irrelevant than ever. Wish he would work with KC though. There is still value in a video product for me. There's something about being able to sit down with some snacks and being able to watch something that can't be touched in terms of entertainment.

BigBadMick Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I agree. And the idea of a full, albeit swift, overview of a whole career in one sitting is appealing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamthedoctor Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Did he ever explain as to why he never got a job with WWE in 2001? At the time dirtsheets said he was in negociations but he kept calling the office for a answer and in the end they decided not to give him a job.

rzombie1988 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Do guys just forget RF was a pedo or do they just not care? I want to ask that of everyone I see doing a video for him. Money > morals. Morals don't pay the bills for broke wrestlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time dirtsheets said he was in negociations but he kept calling the office for a answer and in the end they decided not to give him a job. Haven't seen it but I would guess that he didn't leave enough of a good taste in Vince's mouth from his previous run to hire him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Back to the Territories with Savio Vega is a must listen for Vega's story about the Brody murder. It paints a pretty shady picture of Victor Jovica to say the least… (and Colon, not much better, but that was known) (EDIT : it's really the main thing too, as they really don't get into much details about the history and go into tangent like talking about Eddie Gilbert) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 And so, the latest KC project is Vince Russo hosting interviews to recap the Attitude Era... Well, running out of interesting ideas I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawk20 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 It's more about the things they think will sell that they can make a bit of money on. The ideas are still there. I suggested an AWA 1984 recap with Jim Brunzell, for example. Great year in the AWA with so much talent leaving and debuting, tons going on, lots of potential backstories about Brody, Abby, Patera, the LOD and the Fabs, Pro Wrestling USA the established guys moving back in the card a bit. And Brunzell was there through it, albeit hurt for part of it (surgery recovery), and he can tell good stories and would have a good chance to share inside knowledge in a lot of cases. (plus he's way more believable than Greg Gagne is, by far. Jim just tells you what he remembers how he remembers it). That was shot down pretty quickly. They seem to feel the market for AWA things isn't really there anymore. Can't blame them really, they may be right, but I am sure there are a lot of specialty years from many areas like that which will never get done with that mindset. That would be why "Back to the Territories" does smaller areas in whole as opposed to individual years. Too bad. But again, it's the market.

While the market is definitely smaller for shoots I think something like this (even though there is nothing valuable to be learned for those who know all about Ken) is more so there for maybe older folks not on the podcast bandwagon and/or don't want to search out audio and enjoy seeing the person being interviewed or those with terrible/no internet who may just rely on physical media at home.

El-P Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 That's Russo being sarcastic. Or trying to be. Which, considering Ken seems to be serious about that stuff, comes off kinda assholish and self-satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCampbell Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 At the end, he tells Shamrock that the incest angle wasn't his idea, and that it must have been Vince McMahon or JR who came up with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
