We discuss the wonderful year in wrestling that was 2013. The recording of the show was missing in action the last couple of days but thankfully went up today. A great time had by all. Wrestling Culture Episode 53 Quote
soup23 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Awesome to see that this made it. Really excited to listen. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Total miracle here as this was lost in the ether for almost 48 hours. I think it's probably one of the five best shows we've ever done. Quote
Timbo Slice Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 It's a Christmas miracle or something. As always, we planned to do a two hour show. As always, it went three hours. As always, it was a lot of fun. Quote
Exposer Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Great news! I'm putting it on now! Quote
Johnny P Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 I was seriously SOOOO excited to see this, and the running time, honestly (If I'm only getting you guys once every six weeks or so, I want the time to be immersive, detailed, and all-encompassing). I downloaded the 2011, 2012, AND 2013 versions. So far I've listened to '12 and I'm about to finish '13. Love you guys every time you do a show, but especially the year reviews w/ Tim. these are awesome references that you can listen to every few years that go in-depth in a way you might not be able to if you did a year in review of say 2012, but looking back and recording it in 2018. Now, don't get me wrong - Those types of shows from the people here (PTBN, Will/Charles/Childs, and/or Wrestling Culture are scary good, but there's a detailed, raw emotional connection that comes out in the opinions and meticulous details when these things are recorded and preserved IN THE MOMENT. So thanks a ton, guys. You know I'm on that BIGGEST fans list. Always pushing you guys to friends, acquaintances, and media types. Quote
Grimmas Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 I just want to saw, great show. John Greed is awesome and everybody should check him out. He'd be perfect in the Wyat Family. I can't wait to see more of him in 2014. Quote
puropotsy Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Posted January 5, 2014 Wow, he would be perfect for the Wyatts Here is his official site with four matches posted on it. http://www.greedwrestling.com/#!portraits/c199t Quote
slackermillionaire Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Hey any chance guys might be able to share a list of best matches for a handy reference? Quote
Dylan Waco Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 I will probably do a top 200 or 300 matches of the year by mid march at the latest Quote

rovert Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Great news. The less RSS feeds the better and hopefully the end of the Talkshoe related recording demons. Quote

Superstar Sleeze Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 I always love this show because during the year I pretty much only watch RAW and this show only had great recommendations for the rest of 2013. I can already thank Tim for a badass Cesaro/Ziggler match. The one omission I thought was the Cena/Punk Free TV match, I thought that was a great blowoff match for one of the longest running feuds in recent history. It would make my top ten, but I have barely watched the amount of wrestling from 2013 you all have, Just wondered what your thoughts were on that one. Quote
Timbo Slice Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah, after the show was over and I was thinking about all of our lists, the fact that none of us had Punk/Cena on there was really weird. I know I just plain forgot about the match. I was too busy counting up Cesaro and Bryan and Rhodes Brothers matches. Quote
DR Ackermann Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Great podcast! It was a lot of fun listening to it. It was great to see the Regal/Ohno get so much love. It was my number one for the year, but I hadn't seen it on anyone's list yet so I vthought maybe I was really overrating it. Not seeing the overrated Undertaker/Punk match on your lists was refreshing too. Quote

WingedEagle Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks for posting the list, saves me the trouble of skimming through to ID a couple to check out. Quote
Superstar Sleeze Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Cesaro/Zayn is fuckin mind blowing awesome. Cesaro/Regal is great, but do have some quibbles. Can I just say how much the commentary was a boon to both those matches because I was going in cold and in both instances the commentary helped justify the work in the ring. Plus I loved the fact Tensai sounds just like my cousins from Dorchester. Quote

Plus I loved the fact Tensai sounds just like my cousins from Dorchester. You went into Cesaro/Zayn blind? If you think it's mind-blowing, then you should go back and watch the 2-3 matches beforehand because so much of the match is built off spots in the previous matches. Quote
Superstar Sleeze Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 O shit, from the commentary I thought there was just that one where Zayn beat Cesaro on a fluke and thats what the first fall played off of. I didnt realize this was a whole series. Quote
Matt D Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 There's a second match and also a tag in between the fluke win and the 2/3 falls match. Quote
slackermillionaire Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 I will probably do a top 200 or 300 matches of the year by mid march at the latest Sorry to bump this thread out of no where. I am trying to catch up with some stuff I missed/didnt know existed from 2013 and just re-listened to this podcast in preparation. Any chance you finished off this list? Quote
