I'm catching up on old episodes of the MRT and HulkaMatt Power Hour and I really like listening to the sad tale of Fusient having just read the retro observer about the "all but finalized" deal.

Early 2001 was a loving crazy time for wrestling.

I really want to do another episode on stuff that was supposed to happen but got cancelled/changed/whatever.

Episode 15: CHEEX!

Years ago I tried to track down more information on Cheex and failed. Recently I looked a bit harder and came across a treasure trove. Join us for a biography of the man who broke the ring before the first TNA PPV, or at least as much of a biography as is possible. Learn about his career and personal tragedies and how Mike Staples overcame them. Next week we do the first TNA PPV for real.

https://www.spreaker.com/episode/13991995

Tonight's Nitro bumpers will be full of his matches and other Cheex related videos.

Is anyone having trouble listening? Someone on twitter said they were unable but I haven't heard anything else. I can but not sure if anyone else can't.

Have you talked about the Fusient WCW plan of using RVD, Corino, A.J. Styles, and Daniels as top talent with Joey Styles and Don Callis as the announce team? Or is that what you mean?

That is the episode in question although I don't think the plan was to make AJ or Daniels top talent. Daniels barely got a job and badly injured his neck during his tryout. RVD was going to be a top guy though.

you could always do an episode about New Blood Rising

SalTheBard: Jan 26, 2005; I forgot to post my food for USPOL Thanksgiving but that's okay too!; Fallen Rib

What I have been enjoying so much is that stuff like New Blood Rising, etc has been beat to death in other podcasts. TNA is a promotion that is rarely covered so this taps into something that I'm very much interested in. The 4 episodes so far about TNA have been amazing. It's seriously like the Dollop, but about TNA.

Styles and Daniels as midcarders holding the US or TV title would've been good set up for a few years later where they could transition to the main event.

It's definitely up there for me, too.

Like there are lots of legit criticisms you could throw out there regarding Rob, but he's rarely boring and crowds really like the guy, it absolutely could have worked.

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Thanks to video retro Bryan Vinny shows i have now learned Bryan has amazing hair and looks like the brother of Jesse Eisenberg

also the debut of Blitzkrieg (and Torrie Wilson)

I liked how he didn�t want to compare NJPW to WWE booking logic wrt Nagata vs Kitamura. Then a bit later he was talking about how the finish of one match foreshadowed a false finish later, and he was like �This is the opposite of WWE.... Oh now I�m doing it :smith:
