Fall 1
Pete and Johnny look at a Mr . Wrestling 2 vs Butch Reed from 9/9/83 on nwaclassics.com. Johnny discusses his phobia of old men and diapers, We also look at the current ROH tv.

Fall 2

Pete and Timothy break down the FMW 25th anny show.

Fall3

We talk Ric Flair on SCSA pod. A great NXT show. Then Pete and Johnny argue over WWE booking with RAW.

You know I think there's also an argument of Stone Cold being so over that he made wrestling main stream popular and actually could be given credit for money that was made by WCW and other companies by new fans, that he had created, being so invested that they actually searched out other wrestling

That's an interesting talking point. I feel the NWO though were the 1st ones in the boom period to get "water cooler talk" going. It also translated in box office. Though not as much as SCSA.

[Luchaundead]

Your right about that but I also see that the NWO didn't encourage people to go out and look up ECW, JAPW, APW, and other smaller indies, that also had huge booms during that time, as much as Austin did

That FMW review made me sad. Sounded like a lot of old guys trying to recapture some nostalgia that has long since passed them by.

It was sad.

Yeah, I started to watch the main event of that show but turned it off. Onita is one of my favorites and its depressing to see him and others out there in that kind of environment. Masato Tanaka looked in great shape though. Enjoyed the show, keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot!!!!

Check out Tanaka's recent match in Zero-1 vs Hideki Suzuki it's a much better showing. It's crazy Tanaka has probably been at least top 25 worker for the past 3 decades. Also thanks for listening.
