kbenn123 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Do you think Bischoff avoided using Neidhart and Bulldog with Bret due to the agreement where they could not use the Hart Foundation name and to avoid any potential lawsuits?

Johnny P Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Pick my jaw up off the floor. Breen doing a wrestling pod in long form. Can't wait. Very Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Enthusiast Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Back when I used to be a huge MMA fan, Breen's show was can't-miss for me. I will definitely listen to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eegah Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Still listening to the cast but had to comment on the WCW lucha tapings in Waco. I was at the tapings, which went pretty long but got over well with the live crowd. The attendance wasn't great from what I remember but it was a fun night overall and a few of the matches were okay. I remember Parka being over like a sumbitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrblue Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I loved the show. Honestly, listened to everyone, and totally helps get me through work, at night. Cannot wait for next episode, almost immediately after it is over. Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parties Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Really good show! One question, hopefully not a massive downer: this is the one where Bix makes reference to the "dearly departed" Kevin Cook, right? Did Cook literally leave this mortal coil, or was it just in reference to him not posting anywhere anymore? Dude was a GOAT-contender on wrestling message boards in my opinion, so I did a double take when I heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Really good show!

Did Cook literally leave this mortal coil, or was it just in reference to him not posting anywhere anymore? Dude was a GOAT-contender on wrestling message boards in my opinion, so I did a double take when I heard it. A reference to him being wherever he is. And maybe not being an actual person. But not dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm about halfway through this one. It's been fun so far, but I think Breen might have gone a little far in his Old People Rant. Zbyszko as the only person making saves against the NWO was obviously a mistake but he connected to the crowd. I'd argue that he connected more easily and more naturally than the lucha six-eight mans that got so much praise on the show. Some of that was WCW's follow through, but on the idea that their follow through was going to be equally bad for everything, the Larry Legend stuff had an easier hurdle to leap over. Even the Dusty turn could have been hugely enjoyable since it was twenty years since he'd been heel and the promos alone could have been amazing but it was all lost in the mess that was WCW. I think blatant, across the board, ageism isn't the way to look back at this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheapshot Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 This is the best episode so far, it's hilarious, thanks to the interplay between Bix, Kris and Jordan. Two huge thumbs up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
