keevo posted:I really liked that Talk is Jericho with Breezango. They talked about how they got into the company and then how they formed and their match with the Usos at Backlash. Yeah that story was insane. Vince wanted it to be a normal match but then he watched Fashion Files and was like "hey I noticed that you're dressing up in different costumes so do that in the match." And then they had like an hour to figure it out and came up with a perfect comedy match. I like that Breeze said they got a standing ovation when they got back to Gorilla.

Also listened to the TIJ episode with Nia Jax. That was a cool episode. Glad they brought up the announced weight thing.

the latest retro observer is very good, has an article at the start about the state of the wrestling business at that point (particularly ecw) and an article immediately following it about xpw trying to invade ecw and getting their asses kicked in the process quote:The security chased the XPW wrestlers out of the building where a brawl took place in the parking lot. Enough of the fans realized a fight was going on outside that a large percentage of the audience rushed to the back. To the live crowd, it largely killed the main event. edit: "Going unopposed, Raw drew a disappointing 6.17 rating" Cardboard Box fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Aug 15, 2017 |

Like its wrestling isn't great its all squashes and even the good wrestlers are stuck with stiffs. Wrestling today, as in the matches, are objectively better but everything around it is such poo poo that the product is so much worse.

Yeah, the week that they got so hyped they had to watch the PPV main event because they wanted to made me so happy. Unlike the Nitros and Raws where they're like "so I guess there is a PPV next week, is goldberg even on it??"

It doesn't help they still have weeks (or months can't remember) until Flair gets back on Nitro whereas in NWA he's partying every week, showing why Flair is the Greatest Wrestler of All Time and notably they aren't even talking about his matches! He's just so good and The Nature Boy. Also Bryan directly compares NWA to current day NJPW and he means that as a mutual compliment about how loving good both are.

Catching up on the Steve Austin Show, his story about getting jumped by some ants, forcing them to fight him one on one, then cutting a promo on their poor match psychology....

He's just so good and The Nature Boy. God I love whenever they discuss the logic/mindset behind Ric Flair, whether it's on the NWA shows or in Nitro. Their stuff about how when he lost the belt he became super serious and intense because his self-identity was so wrapped up in being the champ was so great, especially because once he gets back he goes straight back into party mode. The early Nitro stuff with Benoit/Sullivan, where they keep talking about how Flair is just thrilled with the feud solely because his fellow Horseman is getting laid regularly....

One thing I remember from Bryan and Vinny's NWA reviews is that one of Flair's greatest skills was making everyone able to believe that this is the time he's going to drop the belt pretty much no matter who he was facing in his big matches, and if it weren't for time limits/some form of cheating that their guy would have won, while at the same time Flair was good and passionate enough that you truly believed that he was the best (except, of course, for Your Hero) and hated him for it.

"You can beat me! *in the smuggest tone possible* I've lost three times! in five years... *explodes* SO IT IS POSSIBLE and if you can wear these shoes *waves shoes* god bless ya" like he simultaneously is selling he can lose, by pointing out that he's only smugly lost three times in five years, but the way he says it you believe he can lose but HE'S THAT GOOD that it's only happened three times https://streamable.com/lokeb Lid fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Aug 15, 2017 |

Listening back to old TNA Adrenaline Flushes. Was making the March 10th 2010 B&V episode (the gold boat rant) a free show the best decision they ever made? (aside from maybe firing Todd Martin) Can't even imagine how many signups they got from it.
