Publications and Podcasts

Hello everyone, I hope you don't mind my posting this here (and if there are any issues with that, please delete my post). I'm the WWE Editor at Sky Sports in the UK and we've recently launched a podcast to complement what we do in our other online output. This week we had Bayley on as a guest and previously we've interviewed Triple H, Ronda Rousey and some other more 'from the past' type names. You can find it in iTunes here - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/sky-sports-lock-up/id1355711985?mt=2. I welcome all feedback! And, as I say, if I've broken any rules by posting this, please take the appropriate action. Thanks.

Kris & David are guestless this week as we discuss the week that was May 2-8, 1989. We talk about the war in Nashville between the WWF & WCW revolving around the awesome Wrestle War 89 PPV show. We also talk about Terry Funk joining WCW and two people that could’ve joined but didn’t because of Jim Herd lowballing them. We also talk about AJW WrestleMarinpiad I & a big UWF show in Osaka, the breakup of The British Bulldogs in Stampede, Kerry Von Erich makes waves at the WMC studio in Memphis, the pettiness of the WWF regarding Nashville, & much more. A really solid show, so listen now!!!! 0:00:00 WCW 1:47:59 Japan: AJPW, NJPW, UWF, & AJW 2:21:34 Cl…

Season 2 of WWAGG kicks off with a bang as Dave, Nick and Rob review some hidden gems from WCW. January and February of 1990 bring us Ric Flair vs. Bobby Eaton Cactus Jack vs. Lee Scott Sting, Ric Flair & Arn Anderson vs. the Great Muta, Buzz Sawyer and the Dragon Master - with the 6 star crowd The Midnight Express vs. The Rock and Roll Express - JIP Ric Flair vs. Brian Pillman We get some widely differing views on the quality of the matches as Rob believes this is the best stuff covered, giving out 4 star ratings like candy, but Dave and Nick aren't so taken. Then it's back to the bizarre mind of Matt Hardy, funneled through WWE this time as he fi…

https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/twiw-indie-intl-05-11-2018 ete and Tim watch a lot of fun wrestling this week. 1. We talk all in 2. NXT -Breakdown the show. -Big time analysis of the opening segment. -Interesting thoughts on Dakota Kai vs Bazzler 3. Sup-Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire -Talk about the layout of the show -How to highlight talent -Who does Pete think Dominic Garrini reminds him of. -Big time thoughts on the main event. 4.

Did anyone else catch the first episode? I enjoyed it as a quick shot and Mooney is very humble and almost unknowingly a true staple of this WWF time period. Duggan has a hard time not talking over him in the first episode but things do get calmed down. Duggan has a comment about "hats and sleeves at this level" that had me busting up. Lots of upside with these two if the show doesn't get over produced in my opinion. Worth an hour of your time to check out.

Kris & David are joined by Allan Blackstock (@allan_cheapshot) to discuss the week that was April 25-May 1, 1996. We talk about Fit Finlay & Steven Regal brawling in a parking lot, Battle Formation 96 at the Tokyo Dome, MMA insanity, Tommy Dreamer proves he is hardcore in the bedroom, and Good Friends….Better Enemies…..This is a very fun show so don’t miss out!!!

https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/twiw-indie-intl-05-05-2018 Pete and Tim discuss NXt, Action Wrestling, and Black Label Slamilton. NXT -We break down the show.

Action Wrestling -We discuss the debut show. -We talk the crowd. -We talk the announcing -We talk the matches -We talk the angles. -We talk booking and structure of the show. Black Label Pro -Discuss the matches -Discuss the commentary -break down the whole show.

I started tracking my MOTYCs and writing reviews for them on my blog. The rule of thumb is it if the match gets ***3/4 or above it gets a review and a spot on THE LIST. Been keeping more engaged with the wrestling and enjoying the wrestling more. https://spandexarestillcool.wordpress.com/2018-motyc-radar-list/

Hey everyone. A lot of you know me. Well I did it, I went and started a podcast.

Hey, just wanted to quickly plug that season 2 of my podcast has mostly dropped (although we still have a few more to go). The episode on Savage v. Hogan is my favorite one we've done - we really dig into the way we responded to those characters as kids and now. Episodes are here: http://theatlantictransmission.com/podcast/the-best-there-ever-was-2/ (And also iTunes, Google Play, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, etc.)

Saturday Night Flashbacks #2 Welcome back to Saturday Night Flashbacks! This week we continue the journey into the WWE Network archives and visit the first Saturday Night episode in the journey from Labor Day weekend 1992. WCW Saturday Night – September 5, 1992: This show was actually taped prior to the Clash and is airing a few days later. This episode is very short only running about 39 minutes. During the baseball season, Atlanta Braves games sometimes caused a shorter episode of the show. The Braves did play on this evening, but in addition, it appears some of the highlights from the NWA Tournament in Japan that were discussed on the Clash have been e…
