Timbo Slice Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 Big thanks to Will on the show for the inspiration for my new avatar. Quote
Grimmas Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Posted February 5, 2015 Just listened to the first 20 minutes, awesome stuff! Tim is a great host and a real fun topic. Can't wait to finish this off later today. Quote
KrisZ Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 Oh the cover for this is hilarious Quote
Steenalized Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 About 15 minutes in and enjoying it already. Big thumbs up to Will for calling out kids who were fans of heels, that's just not right. Quote
shoe Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 I can't believe you all no sold Zellner's Canadian accent. Quote
WingedEagle Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 About halfway through and really enjoying this. Conversation just breezes by. This was the first I heard that Garvin was scheduled for Flair at Starrcade '86 until the Magnum injury. Has that been widely reported or written about elsewhere? Quote

soup23 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 I don't know if it was the host upgrade (Kidding) or what, but this show was awesome. I think it was the direct result of a list like this being geared more towards nostalgia and fond memories live than actual in ring workrate and quality. As I was going along with my own personal list, I thought to myself that Goldberg vs. Hogan for sure would be my #1 and was delighted to hear Tim mention it. Shows like this are really a treat to listen to as you get the basis behind why we all are still so invested in pro wrestling. Awesome stuff guys. Quote
Timbo Slice Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 It really was off the top of my head that I chose the topic, but considering the amount of work-centric stuff that a lot of the podcasts do (which is by no means a bad thing), I wanted to do something a little different and it couldn't have turned out any better. Really is a cool topic. Quote
soup23 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 It definitely got me thinking that a future top 6 live moments for a PWSS would be neat.. Quote
Steenalized Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Funny thing is that to me, my #1 title change would be Austin vs. Michaels which you guys on the show brushed off like nothing. I was about 8 at the time and that match was absolutely huge to me. God only knows how many times I watched WM14 on VHS, especially that match. Quote
Zoo Enthusiast Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 I was 13 and the same is true for me. That show is my most watched tape ever. I probably watched the tape of the PPV once a week for most of the rest of '98. Quote
dawho5 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 This was a really good listen for me. It highlighted some things that I really don't think about a lot and I probably ought to. Gives me another way of looking at wrestling, which is a huge plus. Thanks to Tim, Will and KrisZ. Quote
shoe Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 I'll defend Tim's Vader-Sting choice. I was a freshman in college at the time. I was home for the summer. 92 was my last time I got a ppv till 96 GAB. Vader was a guy we were conditioned to never believe would win the world title. Fat guys could challenge for the belt , but never win it . We saw it time and time again. They had a little angle where Vader broke Sting's ribs, but the heat was on Rude/Sting. Even the tag tournament seemed more important because Watts pushed the MVC so big. So at the finish people were shocked when Vader went over . Their was a big hush that went over the crowd . At home I was stunned. Quote
shoe Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 I'll also put over the Tito-Valentine feud. One of the best ever. When we interviewed Tito for Titans I said to Tito if they don't include that feud in the Networks Rivalries doc it's a travesty. Quote
WingedEagle Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Really enjoyed listening to this. I'm a sucker for anything that captures great moments like this. I've also been meaning to watch the full Final Conflict package on youtube and this was a great reminder to try and get to it this weekend. One thing that occurred to me listening to this is that unlike sports where your teams may be mired in terrible or mediocre seasons for years on end, we're all on team wrestling and will have a number of moments every year where we can feel a part of the home crowd during something awesome.

JerryvonKramer Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 This isn't intended as a knock of Steven, but this was a legit great show and probably a top six episode of the PWSS. I have to say that aside from being a great historian, KrisZ is a really captivating storyteller. Quote
shoe Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 About halfway through and really enjoying this. Conversation just breezes by. This was the first I heard that Garvin was scheduled for Flair at Starrcade '86 until the Magnum injury. Has that been widely reported or written about elsewhere? Just an FYI, but Meltzer and Sempervive dismissed this on Observer Radio. Quote
KrisZ Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Which is interesting because Meltz was one of the first ones to report that back in the day. Quote
shoe Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Which is interesting because Meltz was one of the first ones to report that back in the day. I found that weird too. Quote
goodhelmet Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Dammit Kris... you're losing your street cred. Quote
