One thing I’d like to mention is just how nice and polite almost everyone we encountered were. It’s really something to hear a lot of the stories from our readers and listeners and them thanking us for in some ways helping them battle through hard times. Everyone at some point has hard times. It’s part of life. I just want you guys who read this, especially those who talked with us about things this past weekend, to know that this goes both ways, that when those hard times hit, in your own way, you guys are so great to get me through it, even when you don’t know about it, and the few times I have brought stuff up publicly like my mother’s stroke and my father’s death, which greatly changed my life, the support from you guys is something that I will never forget

I really don't need another iteration of "Tommy Mouthfucked Beaulah While The Boys Cheered" or whatever. Let ECW die, you weirdos.

My initial mental image of this was Tommy going down on Beulah in the locker room and I was pleasantly surprised at the idea of the ECW boys being so into Tommy pleasing his woman.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, his obit for Hogewood on WOR sure is something haha. "He was fine". I don't think I've ever heard Dave blow by an obit that fast before.

He was a secondary office person in ECW. But him IRL doesn't have much charisma and is boring to listen to.

I kinda hope it is a joke. Flop concept and Conrad doesn't need another podcast. ECW Nostalgia has truly evaporated the last 5 years or so.

I still want him to spill the beans about his stint in XPW

Apparently he worked the one show for them, then found out Rob Black was a pornographer who was storing porn DVDs at the ECW Arena, and he went straight to his lawyer to get out of the deal

interesting how “the last 5 years or so” is roughly the amount of time everyone’s been able to go onto the WWE network and see that ECW actually had a whole pile of poo poo on their shows

I think it was more Rob Black was a dangerous mobster wannabe that Joey realized was a liability. The dude sent goons after The Messiah's thumb over sleeping with Lizzy Borden.

As someone who has been watching the occasional ECW show, but from another source, I can say that the music is a big part of the shows feel and there is no way WWE production tracks make up for it.

According to New Jack, Messiah was playing video games when the goons busted in and took his thumb.

If they do a multiple episode investigation as to how Chilly Willy managed to be a resident of every single town they booked, I will listen. That always seemed suspicious to me, what was Chilly Willy hiding?

Gertner's table was set up next to the bar on Saturday afternoon at Starrcast. We sat at the bar for probably an hour and maybe five people walked up to him the entire time we were there -- and one of those five was Buff Bagwell.

I only worked with Cucumber & Co long after the MSW days but I did end up dating a girl who said that guy looked familiar, pulled out his business card, and said that Stro approached her in a Walmart parking lot and tried to take her home one night.
