Superstar Sleeze Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Really enjoyed Parv's opening story. Very funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I have to disagree with Parv on Ventura being the best color guy ever. I think Dutch Mantell is a better color guy overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luchaundead Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm going to recommend to both of you to save your notes on Google Drive that's what I do so I have them basically everywhere when I need them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yeah. When I podcast I have my tablet sitting next to me with all of my notes. The other benefit is you can share your notes with each other. When I interview someone I share an outline with them. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Chad, Getting close to that time again. Do you have a list of 1992 tv matches you'll be reviewing? I'd like to watch them before the show airs if possible, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Mick, I am going to be getting that together. I have a general idea of the ones I want to view but I really want to just do 10-12 so it only takes up one show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrainfollower Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Funny moment. I'm on FB as I am listening to this and clearly either Chad or Parv was as well because I heard them getting FB messages on the podcast and assumed it was for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I might have missed it, but did you say who Benoit was meant to team with as a replacement for Austin and Pillman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Parv no selling Chad's Rotundo joke. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Great show as always. I was at that '93 Wembley show and Rude was appalling vs DBS....stalled for what felt like forever in a match was was several levels below the Chono match from Havoc...now imagine that if you will.

GSR Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I have to disagree with Parv on Ventura being the best color guy ever. I think Dutch Mantell is a better color guy overall. Having watched his complete tenure in SMW I'm in full agreement with you here; in fact I think Mantel blows Ventura out the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 The beauty of Mantell is he gives the faces full credit for how good they are and then twists it all around to bash them a short while later. I also love how he shit talks the faces but when they come out or he interviews them he kisses their ass in the most obvious way possible.

BrianB Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Another strong pod. I've also wondered about Rude's 1992 being overrated and having just recently watched this show for the first time myself, it does seem like a logical time to start to ask that question. I haven't seen enough of the rest of Rude's 1992 yet to really have a definite opinion yet. I have noticed some of things Parv commented on for Rude's weak points during this show. I'll be curious what you guys think of Steamboat's year after Starrcade. And if, say, Sting's match with Vader also impacts your opinion on Rude. I haven't watched hardly any SMW, so no comment there, but I put Jessie and Bobby Heenan neck and neck as the best two color guys. Different styles but both top notch. Jesse was the more consistent, though he did fall off a bit after Hogan showed up. Heenan at his peak was just hilarious and his chemistry with Monsoon was unmatched. I also loved him in 1993 when he didn't have great guys to work with, but he was maybe at his peak in terms of one-liners, jokes, and just being extremely quick. Personally, I'll pick Heenan, but there's no denying that he fell off quite a bit and after the NWO showed up and Bischoff didn't want him supporting them he really fell off with only a few moments each show.

Mad Dog Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 My problem with Heenan is he only works with certain guys. If you don't feed him opportunities to get lines off he can get desperate and derail the announcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Russian Daydream Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Good show guys. A few things: Firstly, I can completely identify with Parv's story at the beginning. As a teacher of teenagers myself, I've been very careful to not share my wrestling fan-dom with any colleagues and definately none of my pupils. There was a bizzare moment a few months back when I had cause to shout at a boy who was walking illegally across a stretch of grass, only for him to turn towards me and do the John Cena "you can't see me" wavy hand. Cheeky shite that he was. I shouted that "I can see you" only to wonder if I'd let my secret slip. It's never been mentioned since so all is fine. The early 1993 "Real Event" tour was quite something. I remember it being pused heavily on TV and pestering my dad to take me to the show in Aberdeen Scotland. I have to say it was a fantastic show and I had a fabulous time. Except for Cactus Jack vs Vinnie Vegas, which was crap. Rick Rude's 1992 is a weird one. It's not just the two Steamboat matches and the Chono G1 match which the legend is built on. On PPV, he was really good in Wargames and I thought the match wiere he teamed with Austin vs Williams and Rhodes at the Great American Bash may have been the best match of the NWA tag title tournament. He also had good matches on TV too, including against Dustin Rhodes in the Nintendo Challenge. You guys were right though, he went off a cliff in the Autumn. The Halloween Havoc match was absolutely rubbish and the Sting match at the clash was pretty boring too. I know that at Havoc, Chono was only a few weeks removed from his neck injury at the hands of Austin's botched piledriver, so he was really limited. I also have to wonder though, whether Rude had already suffered the injury that would eventually force him out of action in December and was just trying to work through it. He just seemed so sluggish all of a sudden. Or perhaps it really was that his mustache held all his powers. Incidentally, as a boy, I hated the no mustache Rude. When he came back from his injury with the mustache back AND an obscenely hairy chest though, I thought he was the coolest man that ever lived. I can only dream of achieving that level of manliness!

Ricky Jackson Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I believe Rude was supposed to be the challenger to Simmons at Starrcade 92 before he was hurt and Williams was a last minute sub Great show guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I believe Rude was supposed to be the challenger to Simmons at Starrcade 92 before he was hurt and Williams was a last minute sub Great show guys I think so too, but that doesn't make that Starrcade finish any less baffling.

soup23 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I am at the beach this week and Parv is away until July 7th, hope to record soon after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 While we're planning ahead, have you decided on your tv matches of 1992 to review yet? I'd like a little peak at the list, to watch before the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Parv needs to review the wrong Arn vs Barry match again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 That was hilarious! To be fair, the match from summer 92 smokes the autumn 91 one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
