Splendid stuff! Looking forward to this as always.

OK...now we're talking. I have a love/hate relationship with this show. I am very fond of the THV version....the PPV however is less than wonderful. Cant wait to listen.

Advance apologies for some of the coughing you might hear from me during this show. I was hitting "mute" on my skype, but seemingly the recorder doesn't recognise it and it picked up my coughing. I was in a bad way during that weekend!

Ok, so I got a bit in before work this morning and I have a complaint.

 

If you are hating on carving a pumpkin, than you are missing out on one of the great joys of life. That is, eating roasted pumpkin seeds!!!!!

 

Mine, brine those suckers over night, dry them off, than cover them up with oil, salt and some flavour (I like chili powder) and its the greatest snack of the year!!

 

Not to mention you get a cool spooky pumpkin to look at for a week or so. Also.. they look really cool if you let them start to rot.

 

In conclusion, you guys are doing it wrong.

I can imagine the Vegetarian vs Southern cooking would be quite the battle.

I don't know why its hitting me now, when there have been shows already since March of 1991 but, it is kind of weird to think that at this point in time, WCW has less than 10 years to go in existence.

[BigBadMick]

Always had this pegged in my mind as a middle of the road WCW ppv from that timeframe, might need to look again to see what all the fuss is about....

[Matt D]

In rewatching this, I was fairly amazed by how violent the Chamber match was. That wasn't in my memories of this. Speaking of memories, I'm very much like Parv as these were some of the iconic shows of my youth so things like Windham's hand getting wedged into the door are indelibly pressed in my mind so for him not to immediately place it is strange to me on some level. It makes for a good balance between the two of you.

The whole idea of "electrocuting" an opponent is one thing, but come on wcw camera producer, why are you filming the damn handle flopping
