JerryvonKramer Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'd recommend Old School Wrestling Podcast with Dre and Blackcat: http://www.flairchop.com/ Although their first 75 or so episodes you'd have to get on DVD now which are about $10 each (2 DVDs). Probably worth it for 100s of hours of audio though. I like those guys because they aren't smarky and don't try to relate everything back to modern WWE when they talk about old shows, which drives me up the frigging wall. I'm not keen on the LAW for this reason. They are casual old-school fans who are fun to listen to. Less analytical than WTBPP though, less well informed than most on the pods you'll find on this site, and probably not as funny as my man Johnny Sorrow. But still, I rate this show quite highly. The unrelated OSW video reviews of old WWF PPVs by a bunch of Irish lads (Jay Hunter being the main one) are slickly put together. But these shows have a more "modern fans looking back and making fun of old wrestling" feel to them. They can be funny on occasion though and the videos are very well edited. Other stuff I've found out there that focuses primarily on match reviews rates from "just about listenable" to abysmal. For podcasts that don't focus on match reviews, anything presented by Will is going to be good (Good Will Wrestling, Wrestling with the Past) and shows that feature his co-host Charles tend to highlight particular matches in particular years or in the careers of workers. Charles is pretty good at picking out key matches while providing a broader overview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Enthusiast Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 There's also Wrestlespective, which is kind of defunct now and sort of hit or miss in terms of quality, mostly due to the guests (hint: If a guy's first name is a single letter, his pro graps analysis is likely to come off as pretty pretentious). Jason Mann is a pretty swell guy, though. He tends to focus on main events (the original goal of the show was to discuss the main event for every WWE/WCW/ECW PPV). Anyhow, it's here if you want: http://wrestlespective.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomemiz Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 thanks for all the suggestions. is there 1 for old nitro reviews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I believe there is one out there, but I've not listened to it and the name escapes me now. Eventually, Chad and I will cover some Nitro shows. Look out for that ... in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best listening wishes. I have started to listening to the Where The Big Boys Play and the Good Will Wrestling shows cause I saw in the description on one episode about the Lucha project. I voted in the Mid South project years ago when I was on the DVDVR board. I'm happy you guys are still going strong on the 80s project. These shows look great for my hour long commute to work everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thank you for giving us a shot. We reference the 80's project a lot in doing our shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
