Kronos Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I just started the 1985 reboot tapes. I am into Feb 1985 so far. Very enjoyable and informative. But if I never hear "Lanny Kai" in that voice again, it'll be too soon. It's the sound that makes me punch babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigelow34 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks Kronos! Glad you are enjoying. I'll let Scott know lol... I usually try to ignore and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Have you guys considered also loading onto Youtube? I know there's some P2B stuff on there, but nothing recent. Doesn't have to be video. Audio is fine. That goes for any of the other feeds around here, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigelow34 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yeah it is really a time management thing at this point but it certainly is something we need to get better about. I will start putting it into focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBadMick Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 ......and I think there were plans for Savage and Ventura to form a tag team in 86. Almost certain that came up on Between the Sheets sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
