Luchaundead Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Unless you plan to rotate the order I think the DDT section should be the main event also, twice a month just isn't enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew wardlaw Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Unless you plan to rotate the order I think the DDT section should be the main event also, twice a month just isn't enough.I think were going to rotate segments based on the biggest show were covering, and lead off with that. You think we should go back to weekly? Weve been debating the frequency of the shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Just finished listening to the new show. I really like the new format. With so much wrestling going on nowadays it is better to focus on more than one promotion each show, which benefits the listener. Rotating segments to keep it interesting for everyone may also be a good idea.These podcasts are always a blast to listen too, and this one was no exception. If time permits it, I wouldn't mind a weekly show, though. Like I said, there is so much going on nowadays. Maybe some History of themed shows in the future would be a nice idea. I am always interested where a promotion had its roots, started out, developed to where it is now, past must see matches, etc. Thanx for another great show, guys. Keep up the good work! It makes it so much easier for us listeners to get into these promotions, staying up to date, by following the show. which is the goal in the end.

Selfishly yes I like the show at least weeklyWere still going back and forth, at least I am, on how frequently to do it. Were going to try every other week for a bit and see how it works.
