The thing with Jerry Jarrett is he presided over the last territory while the territory business model was self-destructing. Gates were down because of cable TV so he couldn't afford to pay wrestlers as much as they used to. And that's about the only nice thing I can say about Jerry Jarrett.

I know it's not wrestling, but what do you guys think of Cinema Swirl from the guy from Attitude Era Podcast main guy? They've done like 5 or 6 episodes so far and it's been pretty enjoyable.

triplexpac posted:I listened to the AE podcast where they review Rumble 1999. Just hearing the Rock/Foley chairshots without seeing them is pretty sickening. The episode where they do the Raw with Steph and Test's wedding and play the clip over a Jericho segment where JR goes "A Concussion!? C'mon." made me cringe.

Yeah they talk about that in that Rumble episode as well... in the buildup to the match they talk about Mick having tons of concussions, King even saying something like "Foley has had so many concussions he can't even remember his name! haha!!" A different time.

Oh yeah, I don't mean the AE guys would make me feel uncomfortable with what they say, I just mean the match in general makes me feel uneasy. The main reason I haven't listened to it is because I always go through and watch the old PPV's first. 99 Rumble is an overbooked piece of garbage on top of having that nasty match so I haven't rewatched it since like 2001.

Speaking of AEPodcast, their episode reviewing Broken Skull Challenge is absolutely fantastic, and has introduced the adjective "bust-rear end" to my regular vocabulary.

It's a hard listen, and they let the clip play out uninterrupted. At one point I felt like I was listening to THIS AMERICAN LIFE or something. As an interesting addendum, Foley spoke about it on Austin's podcast, and said that he talked poo poo about Rock on the commentary for Beyond The Mat, and after Rock listened to it he got in touch and they talked about it and cleared the air. I still don't really know what Rock was thinking, other than he sadly was too caught up in the moment and knew that it would get heat. I don't think he was setting out to intentionally hurt Foley, but the problem is that they agreed on the amount of shots he would take, and Rock went further.

I know wrestling is subjective and all but in what world is that match absolutely amazing and one of the best of either careers? Even at the time it wasn't really heralded that way.

The point of that wasn't "A Concussion? What a pussy!" it was "A Concussion? Jericho didn't have one of those! He just doesn't want to wrestle Chyna!". Like how he was talking about not being able to play with his kids (which he doesn't have).

Am I remembering correctly when I recall that the crowd became more and more subdued with every shot, or was that something from Beyond the Mat where they were focused on Mrs. Foley and the kids? I guess I could go back and watch the match again on the Network, I'm just not loving going to.

Its still a little dull at times (at least in comparison to the AEP) mainly due to the way they just basically read the matches through (unlike AEP which usually do this much more organically and throw in a story or two). But now they're finally loosing up a bit. To me, it starts picking up at Royal Rumble 95.

ICHIBAHN posted:What do they get wrong? They get some minor things wrong sometimes, or quote something incorrectly, but the show is generally well researched. Unless it's stuff like "Oh in hindsight Jarrett was pretty cool" which is just an opinion. They are right that these whole period is the Undertaker at his worst though, he's loving dreadful, and dull. I always thought the Biker gimmick was the nadir of his run, but this ministry stuff (And his Bike ride with The Big Show) is awful.

Hijo Del Helmsley posted:I'd say OSW started good, but they fell off a cliff as soon as the Hogan era actually finished. They should have just finished it after Mania 9. I still think that OSW would've been better served by following the Hulkamania era to WCW. There's a lot of material there that's certainly a lot more interesting than the David Arquette trilogy, particularly since they admit that they don't know that much about WCW. Plus there's a lot of fun crap that goes on around that time. I guess now it's just a little unfocused, and worst of all is that they're currently pretty dismissive of anything that's after the Hulkamania era. If you listen to the AE Podcast on Capital Carnage and then the OSW Review one, you come away with very different viewpoints. The Rock cuts a really fun promo where he steals other people's lines. AE Podcast laugh about the promo and OSW literally say "Well he did it before on Raw so whatever." and just skip through it. Weirdly, the moment that made me say 'Huh?' is when they have the famous Mean Gene/Bobby Heenan interview. Gene says "Where do you get the B-" and stops himself, clearly he's about to say balls. So Heenan, quick as he is, says "I'll tell you where I get the B-" and carries on. OSW honestly act like this was a botch on Heenan's part, and that Gene obviously confused him. It's such a weird stance to take since Heenan doesn't miss a beat. If I listen to OOC poo poo on another match then I'm done. Weirdly I love OSW Review, or did right until the Hogan era ends. Now it just seems they want it to carry on but some joyfulness to it is missing.

The AE Podcast guys wrote an article for Kotaku about WWF Attitude on the N64. They might be doing more? I dunno.quote:As a young boy, I loved nothing more than the WWF. In the world of the WWF, I loved nothing more than the 7-foot-tall, 300-pound "Big Red Machine" Kane. Imagine my horror upon selecting him in the matchup screen and seeing a skinny young boy dressed as Kane appear at the top of the entrance ramp. Who is that? This must be some sort of mistake, Kane is massive! Kane is ripped! Kane is most certainly not the same height as D'Lo Brown.
