KrisZ Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Kris & David are guestless this week to discuss the week that was June 7-13, 1997 or also known as Fight Night. We talk about Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels fighting backstage at RAW and Kevin Nash & Roddy Piper fighting backstage at Nitro. We discuss HHH winning the King of the Ring, the debut of Michael Cole, AAA’s TripleMania problems, the insanity of ECW vs. USWA vs. WWF, Jerry Lawler at the ECW Arena, WCW business booming, Hulk Hogan shitty movies, & JOHN TESH!!!!

BrianB Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Almost through the WWF segment, when was Sid's car wreck? Right after this? I thought the injuries from that and how it was more serious than they initially thought contributed to how he missed so much of 1997 WWF. (edit: just checked, the car wreck was later in June.) Before that I think Sid had some back injury, but not sure how serious that was vs. one of those injuries he played up for softball or whatever. Couldn't Vince have put the title on Vader in 1996, if he wanted to punish Shawn, and then put the world title on his new top babyface, possibly a returning Bret, at either Survivor Series or the Rumble?

BigBadMick Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 As good as Canadian Stampede was, imagine Michaels and Sid in there instead of Shamrock and Goldust - WOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Vader is a solid choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I love the show and listen every week...but I think, maybe, after hearing it 5 or 6 times in the first segment and the first story of the NJPW segment, it's time we put a moratorium on the dramatic trumpet soundbite. Let's see if we can get through a whole show without it, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Love the shows, but the irony of calling out Mankind and Lawler's tired material on a show with guard rail, head bangers, and the return of redacted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Vader is a solid choice Vince was probably still steaming Vader wanted to be Vader, and not the Mastodon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 If Beast's post wasn't clear enough the "LOL one word was written as two!" joke is well and truly dead. I'm fine with the dramatic trumpet, references to Robert Fuller's dong and redacted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkdoc Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 horns.aiff is pretty played out for me as well but that's more because fricken everyone on the internet uses it i'm just glad pudding pops appear not to have become a running joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravJ1979 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 With all the pot shots at Meltzer's writing, it sure seems like Bix is slowly morphing into Meltzer; right down to the laugh, cadence of speech, and relentless over explaining.

sturm316 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I agree with Pete. I'm listening to episode 43 now, covering May 10-16, 1990, and the repeated use of that drop gets old quick, similar to the Marc Gullen "totally awesome" one on the 6:05 podcast. I love the concepts of these shows and they're incredibly informative, but the playing of drops and sound bites over someone talking is an annoying distraction, as is talking/laughing over clips.

That's just a Jewish thing. And they're not shots at Dave. It's a "look at how of its time this is" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...TG Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Great show as usual fellas. Appreciated the Night Court shout out - was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Fun fact you probably already knew - Night Court and Barney Miller having similar theme songs by the same composer isn't a coincidence, Night Court's creator was Reinhold Weege, who was a writer/producer on Barney Miller. Night Court was way wackier, but they're pretty setting, with a diverse group of people working together in a grungy New York justice system.

Matt D Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Kris not knowing about the USWA syndication thing was funny since I learned about it from BTS. Also, nothing else in the world has referenced The White Shadow three times in this decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 It's a lot to keep track of. I just thought it was funny since it's something I learned from you guys. Speaking of Night Court, did people catch on the Gerwitz episode of the Jericho podcast and his Wrestler's court story that they actually used Kane as the bailiff? Had we known that before? Because that's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
