Just a heads up as possible side reading, this is Goc excellent review thread http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/25678-southeasterncontinental-championship-wrestling/?hl=southeastern

I'm halfway through listening to this. It's awesome as you'd expect. I could listen to Beau talk southern wrestling all day. If someone could muster up a Youtube playlist of some of the main angles I'd appreciate it.

I knew next to nothing about the topic going in and was pretty much engaged the whole time. Great show gentlemen. Going to seek a bunch of this stuff out now! Cant wait for part 2.

I know zilch about Southeastern/Continental so this was a great listen. Beau was an amazing guest, just an incredible knowledge of the area. Probably should buy a set from him soon, his YouTube channel is a lot of fun. He'd probably be a great guest on BTS, but you already knew that I'm sure.

[DR Ackermann]

You're doing the Lord's work, Kris. I have a bunch of Contintental that I can't wait to dive into once the GWE is over.

Oh damn I gotta check this out!

[GSR]

Thought this was tremendous.

 

Continental is an area that I know next to nothing about and Beau was just a wealth of information. With a lot of these long podcasts I tend to break them up listen to them in several goes, not the case here as it was one that I just couldn't listening to when I started. Real excellent work guys.

If it hasn't come to you yet, Mike Fever's brother was 'Gentleman' Jim Holliday.

 

Really loved this and found out a lot of stuff I didn't know about. Like the awesome story of The Stud Stable's "cut man" and how it led to Tom Prichard becoming Dr. Tom.

There's nothing more carny that purposefully limiting the pub your promotion gets so as to kayfabe your success so you don't get raided. That's one I hadn't heard before.

[Magpie]

As a fan from Australia since 1980, I grew up on the WWF but would read every Apter mag cover to cover, no matter which promotion the story was on. So that included Continental. This podcast was outstanding, I learned about so many matches, angles, feuds, characters. Very much looking forward to Part 2. Please keep giving coverage to the territory legends. Much appreciated to both Kris and Beau for the time and effort put into such an exhaustive look at Year One of Continental.
