goc Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 I would like to propose an idea where people can send in a "PWI style" headline about one of their feuds or another based off someone else's show. Quote
TravJ1979 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 Send it in and we'll see how this thing plays out. Quote
TravJ1979 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Posted June 25, 2015 The Wrestling Review Newsletter will be released Sunday, July 10th ... two days earlier than expected. As always, send all news, results and reader letters via PM. All sources will remain anonymous if requested. Published by: Dave Keller. Quote
goodhelmet Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 This is awesome. I was going to do a news letter called Dan Seltzer's the Wrestling Spectator but you have saved me the trouble. I will be sure to send you reports from Japan. Quote
TravJ1979 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Posted June 25, 2015 Gives me something to do Sunday nights. Especially since I have a loose outline of the next 26 weeks of Memphis shows. Quote
dawho5 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 I do think we should bring Johnny in and have him be our Bill Apter. He could come up with crazy headlines and news stories monthly or something. Quote
goodhelmet Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 No, Johnny doesn't believe in breaking kayfabe Quote
TravJ1979 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Posted June 25, 2015 I'm not sure if I'm going to break kayfabe to a great extent. It'll probably take a few issues for me to flush out the style. Quote
goodhelmet Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 We're breaking kayfabe. You can't write a dirt sheet without dirt. Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 There did used to be newsletters that didn't break kayfabe I've read them. Quote
Wahoos Leg Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 This needs to be a total kayfabe-breaking dirt sheet, complete with us submitting wrong info so you can blame the promoter for "changing his mind" =) Quote
TravJ1979 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Okay. Kayfabe is non-existent when it comes to Dave Keller's news and analysis Quote
goodhelmet Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Badass... pulling the curtain back! Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 OK, Trav and I are going to be working on this together. I already have a few "stories" finished and if you want to send stories about your promotion, we'll put it in the newsletter. If you don't send anything in, we make shit up about you From now on, send anything you want in by Friday to me or Trav. I hope to have the newsletter posted by Sunday Quote
Boon Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Can't wait to read this, especially the made up stories... Quote
LowBlowPodcast Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Is this going to be similar to PWI? It would be fun to use the covers from that time and then make our own stories and rankings from each promotion to add in. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 No, this is going to be like the Observer. Pure insider dirt with a little bit of news and analysis. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 I already have some news blurbs sent in that are cracking me up. If you want a story in, do't write it like a promoter but more like a gossip columnist. Think of it as something Meltzer would put in the Observer because Dean Malenko or Arn Anderson called him up and gave him inside scoops. Quote
RocketCrypt Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Pure insider dirt with a little bit of news and analysis. This should be the tag line. Quote
LowBlowPodcast Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Nice. IF anyone is up for the PWI thing, I'd be interested in that down the line. Could be fun to look at rankings. I recently got my hands on the fall 1983 PWI magazines and it is funny to see the WWF on the second pages of rankings in comparison to the AWA and NWA. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Keep your stories coming!!! Some of them have really cracked me up. Others are just neat to read because it is completely imaginary backstage politics that could be real or not. Quote
goodhelmet Posted July 12, 2015 Report Posted July 12, 2015 If anyone else has anything to submit, now is the time. I am putting this together throughout the course of the day and plan to post it tonight. Some territories are getting more attention than others. Remember if you don't control your news stories, I get to control them Quote
