soup23 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Fantastic effort all around. The top five lists was interesting and a good way for each host to bring their own wrestling viewpoint without it becomming confrontational. Savage I think would have helped benefit WWF more than he would have hindered WCW if he hadn't left. Putting house show business aside, the Flair feud in 96 has been disappointing for me on rewatch. I think the Savage vs. DDP feud is still great but I'm not sure if DDP couldn't have also gotten over if someone else higher up like Nash/Hall(if sober) would have been in the same role. Match quality could dip a bit but I feel lower on that series in-ring than most. Savage in 99 is awful and should have been retired for sure. It is understated just because how much BAD there is in WCW at the time but I think it is right up there with Hogan vs. Dungeon of Doom for wrestlecrap. Good deep dive on Tenta, he has become quite the favorite of a lot of the PWO/PTBN contingent. Instead of the swear job we may have to institute a "Will references Memphis" jar.

BigBadMick Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Interesting concepts, great debut. Justin, I got the impression you felt very defensive about the sharks circling here as you ran through Michaels and Angle as his favourites To be honest, I'm in the same boat. I started reading here at the beginning of 2013 and was taken aback by the hostility towards both. Like Justin, I can see the pov but still really enjoy their work.

Bigelow34 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Haha thanks Mick. It is what I love about Will though, as long as you have your reasoning and defend your position, he is cool with me loving the guys he hates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillThompson Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I am always praising Angle around these parts; that's not about to stop anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingSavage Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Well, what initially brought me around to posting here (rather than just lurking) was the feeling & impression that people are more accepting to different views & opinions on wrestlers that way. I'd hate to see any fellow posters discouraged to voice their views or speak their piece - simply because it's different from the majority. A pro wrestling card, without variety, gets to be super boring & stale fairly fast. I'd say the same about message boards. I've been a part of plenty, and the ones I abandon the quickest are those that make you feel like you can't veer too far out of their realm of "acceptable" opinions. It's pointless to not be open-minded about things, 'cause even the "smartest" and most critical of fans have changed their thoughts & ideas on things over the years. Nobody just saw their first wrestling show at five years old & thought, "Wow. This guy's a hoss, and I especially love the attention to detail with his facials & selling of the limb work." It's a learned appreciation, and different tastes will hold appeal with different folks. I'll close out my little rant with saying that these are the things I dig about the reaction shows, especially the last one. The ball-busting between Will & Pete (and, as always, Will & Johnny) makes for fun-spirited & lively discussion. It's all so boring if everyone's just all, "Yeah. Agreed."

overbooked Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 A fun, slick show and I enjoyed the time limits more than I thought I would. One criticism would be I could have lived without all the NBA video game talk at the end, especially with so many good questions in the mailbag thread going unanswered.

Bigelow34 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks for listening and for the compliments! We have a huge list of all those questions and plan to get to all of them. Will and I want to mix a little non-wrestling talk here and there just to vary stuff up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah, plus all non-wrestling talk will go on at the end, more or less, so we don't aggravate the wrestling-centric audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overbooked Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Fair enough, thanks for replying! Good luck with the future episodes, looking forward to seeing how this show develops as it already has a different feel to the other PTBN/PWO podcasts.

pantherwagner Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 This was pretty good and the time keeping kept both of you guys in check. My main criticism of these type of wrestling podcasts, which I have mentioned once or twice before on this board, is that often there's a lot of rambling. Sometimes that rambling is good and sometimes it's not (this is not a comment to you specifically Will, as you tend to actively control yourself and your co-hosts very well). Here it helped in keeping things moving. My favourite part, by far, was the rebooking of Savage. I hope that it becomes a challenge on every episode. I have seen the mailbag thread but do you take rebooking requests? In case that you do, here's mine... if you think it's cool use it, otherwise it's no big deal. Book the world title picture (and if you wish, one or two supporting act feuds) of WWF 1984, 1985 and up to Wrestlemania III, but you can't use Hogan. Somebody still beats the Iron Sheik at MSG in January, Mr. T still main events WM 1 and you still have to do WM 3 vs. Andre. You can turn anybody from the heel side to be your lead babyface at any point, and you can turn any faces to be a heel during this period. You can hire anybody that you want on the face side, but you can't hire new heels. Other than that, it's an open world : if you want to use the Von Erich boys, Flair or Brody as your main face then so be it. Snuka and the Von Erichs are drug free good boys. Brody agrees to do jobs on demand. Orndorff does not fuck up his arm. Whatever, it's your parallel universe, but it's one where Hogan does not even exist.

Bigelow34 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thanks for listening and I am glad you enjoyed the format! We take all requests/suggestions for sure. We have a large word doc with a bunch of ideas and will certainly add this to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingSavage Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Finally got around to listening to this one. Enjoyed it immensely, guys. Really digging the separate "Falls" format. It's cool that you got creative enough to customize the show without having to go too far off course or anything. The restraints you put in place helps keep things on track & steered on topic, too. Good stuff. Looking forward to more episodes, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
