Loving this episode. I wanted to chime in on the Norm Dooley talk. I traded SMW TV with Norm throughout 1993-95 and continued to trade with him into 1996 for sure post-SMW. I lost touch with him around that time. He was most definitely not at the SMW/USWA Fanweek show in 1995. I remember corresponding with him at that time and trying to arrange to meet up at that show & something came up & he couldn't make it that night. I remember he indicated that he was going to shows almost weekly still at that time. He was somewhat elusive even though we regularly traded for 3-4 years. I never once talked to him and he never offered any info on his past Weasel's World stuff or any footage he may or may not have had other than his most recent acquisitions during our time trading. I'd be all for a united front for someone to track him down.
