Had a blast doing the show tonight. Can't wait until tomorrow when we get to talk about Slamboree and Bash at the Beach.

 

Chad, it wasn't until halfway through the show that I found the mute button on my mic. The baby was hungry and that makes for interesting audio.

As long as the little one didn't pull the backstage diva act that JR's little one did during JR's and Scott's appearance on Where The Big Boys Play that made JR miss the discussion of the last few matches of the show they were covering! =;)

Loss you said the Dustin/Buck match had a different sensibility than the Tag brawl. What exactly do you mean? Plus dirty south is great. cracked me up Loss great point about Harley. I said on Titans Harley was the best and worst manager of all time. Part of the problem is people like Steamboat sold for Harley like it was 78.

I meant that Dustin vs Buck is more about the intensity and hate while the tag brawl is more about weapons. Dustin vs Buck was more like Memphis or Mid South, while the tag was more like an FMW brawl. I think fans popped more for the weapons shots in the tag and more for the retribution spots in the singles match. Does that make sense?

 

And yeah, Vader matches during this time were ostensibly Vader/Race handicap matches. Race took great bumps and probably added to the matches more than he didn't, so I don't fault him too much. But Vader was good enough without Race working so hard.
