soup23 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 It's WrestleMania week and we're doing Mania themed shows the entire week! On today's show, Will is joined by Pete (Titans of Wrestling) and Steven Graham (The Super Show) and each of us construct the greatest Mania card of all time using the all time great matches in Mania history. http://placetobenation.com/good-will-wrestling-building-the-perfect-wrestlemania/
Grimmas Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 So much fun doing my two shows. I would love to hear the suicide rate on my first show and the estimated combined weight of my second show.
soup23 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 Is the suicide rate the listener while you roll off your Veggie curry recipe?
Zoo Enthusiast Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 There's going to be a Will show every day of the week?
soup23 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 Yes,other show themes include following bad booking decisions of each Mania and a Starrcade vs. Mania throwdown. Some great audio coming down the pike this week.
goodhelmet Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 We have 4 shows recorded so far. I am going to be on Scott's Main Event this week so depending on how that goes, may do a Mania preview to go with the reaction. I have another concept locked in with maybe another show on top. All Mania all the time.
shoe Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 For people who listened to the show. Let us know who's show you'd rather go to.
Jmare007 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Shit, I'm more exited about this than Mania.
soup23 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Posted March 24, 2015 I hate to say it but I got to say I gotta go with Pete's first card as my favorite. I was surprised at how Lashley vs. Umaga was prevalent as well as Flair vs. HBK as those are the type of matches I think are unconventional for a super show like this but could be good buffers when constructing a card. Steven's all beef card was something to behold but after reading his booking on PTBN the past few weeks, I am no surprised.
JerryvonKramer Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Not far in but I actually think Bruno was a draw in 86. Didn't they bring him back in to anchor Philly and Boston cards when Hogan wasn't drawing repeat business?
Steenalized Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 For people who listened to the show. Let us know who's show you'd rather go to. Steven's might win for the people watching as he does everything he can to kill the crowd, short of retiring Bruno to DiBiase in a cage match on the same card. Edit: Meant his first card, not the fat man card.
Bigelow34 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Will-A-Mania is running wild this week! Love it.
soup23 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Posted March 25, 2015 Show #2: Bad Booking in WrestleMania History Part 1 Will is joined by Pete (Titans of Wrestling), Dave Musgrave (Wrestling Culture), and Johnny P (Barbedwirecity.com) to discuss the worst booking decisions in WrestleMania history. We take a look at Mania 1-15 and the matches that should have been booked and the ones we wished we never saw. http://placetobenation.com/good-will-wrestling-bad-booking-in-wrestlemania-history-part-1/
Jmare007 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 3 minutes in and I'm laughing at that clusterfuck of an intro. That was awesome
goodhelmet Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 I was going to cut it off but when I played it back but I was laughing my ass off so I just kept it in. I was originally going to put it on the end as an easter egg but I was tired of doing edits.
elliott Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 It was like the Hogan, Austin, Rock intro at WM 30. "Good to be back at the Silverdome."

goodhelmet Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 It was like the Hogan, Austin, Rock intro at WM 30. "Good to be back at the Silverdome." true story... every intro for this week's podcasts was botched unintentionally. I think i was able to edit most of them.
The Chief Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Great show! Regarding the Owen situation at X, I’ve got a different opinion than you guys. I actually think it works much better for Owen’s character that they didn’t build him up going into this. Bret unintentionally buries Owen by not wanting to wrestle him. Bret’s reasoning was that he would never go to war with flesh and blood, but Owen took it as Bret didn’t want to stoop down to Owen’s level. Owen needed to be portrayed as a beneath guy for the angle to work. If they had Owen plowing through guys leading into this, you lose that context. Owen makes himself during the match by keeping up with Bret. Owen was always portrayed as a talented guy, but he was lacking the mean streak to be a top guy. Bret ignited that spark in Owen. He needed to debut that mean streak at Mania, Bret was the guy he hated. I don’t think it works as well if he debuts his mean streak on Savage or Tatanka or whoever. I’m not sure if all of that was done intentionally but I always dug it and thought it worked out perfect.
shoe Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Except for drawing money. As an angle I liked it a lot. The fans just didn't buy him as a threat to the belt.
The Chief Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 I dunno, I was in the prime of my viewing as a kid with this stuff so a lot of this is through rose colored glasses but I totally believed Owen could take Bret's belt since he was such a cheating sleazebag. Does Owen as a serious contender really bump business that much? I really don't think there was much they could do to pump up numbers in 1994.
