JerryvonKramer Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 http://placetobenation.com/where-the-big-boys-play-73-wcw-new-japan-supershow-92/ Chad and Parv are back to review the WCW / New Japan Supershow 92.[0:38:32 - 0:55:48] - Discussion of Dusty Rhodes, his career and what he meant to fans in light of his passing.
thebrainfollower Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 I don't work Fridays and this is an awesome surprise to start my weekend. Thanks guys. With the gap between this and WTBBP I was wondering if Parv was retiring.
Karl Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Regarding why NJ was a bigger draw that AJ, I think it may come down to NJ presenting a more 'entertainment' orientated product. They had production values, angles, characters, whereas AJ was more conservative, more about what happens in the ring.

BigBadMick Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Interesting show (I mean WTBBP - the Dome show was middling). Chad, really enjoyed your social commentary on Dusty's place in blue collar America. Slightly surprised Parv didn't bring up his fondness for Bob Dylan quotes. Also liked how you both weaved in a little talk about Japanese guys for GWE.
JerryvonKramer Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Posted June 13, 2015 Chad's soliloquy on Dusty is probably in his top 5 WTBBP moments. The others being his reaction to Sting / Black Scorpian magician. Blanking on Lyle Alzado and getting shit for it for about 3 months, mainly from Pete. Claiming Al Perez as a lost worker and getting shit for it for about 3 months, mainly from Pete. And probably his analysis of Steamboat / Flair, Clash 6.
shoe Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Other great moments that Parv and Chad did in the early days were doing the commercial segments. So we had a Brit, who's never seen them pitching to Chad to explain them when Chad was only 5 when they aired. I think the record was 7 in a row of neither guy being familiar with the product. The finishing touch was Parv asking Chad if he thought the product that Chad has no memory of was still used or made to this day.
shoe Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Will did some top flight trolling on the Lyle Alzado front as well.

I remember the discussion of the Lethal Lottery being pretty damn great too.

As a fan of several comic book re-read and TV show re-watch podcasts, I get a kick whenever the hosts go over the ads in the book or commercials left in whatever format they got the program in, whether they were alive or cognitive enough to recall at the time or not. It always makes for a nice time capsule for the listener, that goes beyond the content of the books (or TV shows for that matter). But I guess that's just me since the overwhelming majority seemed to be anti-ads.
SteveJRogers Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Interesting show (I mean WTBBP - the Dome show was middling). Between that, and the lack of newsletters, I'd reckon this was the shortest WTBBP ever!
shoe Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Steve I'm not anti ad. I got a chuckle that Parv kept on pitching the ads in question to Chad when Chad had no background on them. Chad wasn't old enough at the time the ads aired to discuss the ads or use the product.
