KrisZ Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Kris & David are joined by Chad Campbell (Where the Big Boys Play) to discuss the week that was October 20-26, 1990. We talk about some shakeups in the WWF both in and out of the ring, we discuss the return of Tatsumi Fujinami from a years absence, the debut of M.C. Jammer, Jerry Lawler’s hatred of beer, Jim Cornette and more legal issues, plus a special brief history of the Atlanta, Georgia Strip Club Culture!!!!!!! http://placetobenation.com/between-the-sheets-14-october-20-26-1990/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbenn123 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I have only listened to the first half of the show so far so my apologies if you discussed it during the WCW portion later, but in reference to your discussion about the possible WWF departures of Jake Roberts and Bobby Heenan in October 1990, I feel that WCW would have been wise to sign them and use them in the Black Scorpion angle. The angle could not have gotten any worse at that point (unless they did a Black Scorpion Coal Miner's Glove match at Starrcade), but inserting Roberts and Heenan in that angle would have saved it I think, and eliminated the hokey magic tricks that occurred at the Clash in November. Heenan could have been used to solidify the storyline as it pertained to the "California, 1985" stuff. Heenan, being billed from Beverly Hills, could have said he was trying to recruit Sting in 85 and was denied, and Roberts could have easily played the dark heel. Overall, a definite improvement I think over what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradhindsight Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 The Atlanta strip club breakdown was as good as advertised. Good show boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 My head did spin a little bit at the breakdown in communication when Chad said the word "exile" and Chris and Bix immediately assumed he was talking about their show, when in fact he was referring to Memphis's wrestling's exile from the Mid-South coliseum. Great show though, BTS is the best wrestling podcast around at the moment. As far as years go, are you restricting yourselves to only stuff after the Torch started?

KrisZ Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Nope.....we have done earlier shows before Torch started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Oh yeah, only one though, What sheets were around in the early 80s? Did Matwatch go back that far? Or was it just the collections of clippings and results like Dave Justice etc put out? I probably ought to know this, but were there any British dirtsheets?

KrisZ Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 There was no Torch in 1984, 1986, or 1987...... Matwatch started in 1988......the only other real newsletters were mainly results based. Steve Helwagen had one that had some news that Dave didn't have but he was the only one,.

JerryvonKramer Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 With some of the much older newsletters, which Kelly, Dylan and I used for that one Titans Xtra show (Old Curiosity Shop), there is a lot of kayfabe stuff, but no real behind the scenes stuff. The best one is by the guy who died young. I forget the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravJ1979 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Torch started in 1987 around October IFRC. However, circulation was almost non-existent. Back when I was trying to amass the entire run, the earliest physical issues I was ever able to pick up were early 1989. He went weekly in around 1990. By 1991-1992 when the switch from corner stapled, multicolored paper style to the printed booklet style happened, they were readily available.

Bix Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I do like the clipping-based newsletters (TNT Times, Global Wrestling News Service, Combat Sports, Joe Shedlock's Wrestling, etc.) a lot, too. Those are fantastic resources, just in very different ways from the insider newsletters/"dirtsheets" and the results sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Small production note chaps. If you want to level out the sound (in particular if the issue with Bix's mic persists), then follow these steps: 1. Export file to .wav in Audacity. 2. Download CN Levelator 3. Drag .wav file onto Levelator, it will create a file ending .wav.output 4. Open up that file again in Audacity and then export that as .mp3 5. Now do your post-production stuff, adding intro, ads, etc. It is not 100% perfect, but it DRASTICALLY improved sound quality and audio volume levels between Chad and I from the earliest days of WTBBP. Bix might also check audio levels on his main control panel and also on Skype itself. It is unlikely the fault of the mic, sounds like something internal. You might also try back-up recording, so that Bix is the internal input on one, and the speaker output on another, and choose the best one. I thought I'd post this here in public because there are a lot of guys here who do podcasts, and I thought I'd share some production stuff. Over the past few years, I've tried just about everything, and have probably spent MORE time on production than on actually recording shows -- one of those little things people probably don't realise.

There was also Jay Steele and Bob Closson's excellent Mat Results newsletter, which was a mixture of news, results and clippings. Probably my favourite newsletter outside of the Observer and goes back to I think 1983. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Levelator. I've never not used Levelator. Any audio issues in the last few weeks have been me not speaking directly into the new mic properly because I'm not used to it having a completely different directionality from my old one. I know it happened at the beginning this week. Blue Yeti = speak into the front of the mic. AudioTechnica ATR2100-USB = Speak into the end/tip of the mic. It's just a matter of erasing the old habit. And as we can see, changing patterns of reflexive patterns of behavior like that or an other kind of annoying bad habit can be difficult, Parv.

cheapshot Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 If only I used Conversations Network Levelator the other week! Thanks for the tip Parv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Bix, no worries, still having problems with my excessively noisy new mouse, which seems to register every single click. Drives me nuts, so I can sympathise. I've really been enjoying this series btw. Enjoyed Chad coming in for this show, and I think this underlined once again how 1990 really was the last year of the 80s / first year of the 90s in so many ways in so many different promotions. So much transition going on. Also, have to mention Kris made me do a loud LOL right at the end with his "and you know all about that" line referring to Bix keeping his mouth on the tip. Hilarious moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
