I got a little carried away and I don't want to collude threads but a criticism I have of Meltzer is his "live" perception sometimes doesn't align with what the viewer is hearing/ record books reflect. When challenged on this stance, we get the generic "you weren't there" argument which is troublesome in many ways especially considering the size of an arena like the Egg Dome.

 

Also to go along with the standards change narrative, the Steiners vs. Hase/Sasaki match is a fun one to watch and reflect on that it is 23 years old.

I know for a fact I had mentioned it on WTBBP before as well. Parv's lucky to have his charm to make up for his memory.

Right before we started recording, we had this exchange:

 

Me: You still into board gaming Chad?

 

Chad: Yeah

 

Me: There's this game I think you'd like called Splendor ....

 

Chad: I told you about that a month ago!!!

 

I think I'm getting worse.

Also Pete informed me this show is now on the WWE Network.

I was wrong about the network uploading the show. I saw the banner for Superbrawl and thought it was the egg dome show.
