Hey everybody - As you refresh your you'll notice some exciting changes to our two main feeds. First, we were able to change the URL for the PWO-PTBN network and with this one-time opportunity we took a step back and re-branded it to eliminate some confusion (adios acronyms) and are calling it Pro Wrestling Only on the go-forward. Here's the URL: https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly In tandem with that change, the Place to Be Podcast feed - has been renamed Place to Be Nation Wrestling. Everything else remains the same - you don't need to re-subscribe to anything, and all shows will continue to be posted at Place to Be Nation. Thanks again f…

Thought this was the best place to post about a subreddit I found discussing the Rise of the WWE. Posted about 6 months ago, it's actually about Vince McMahon's purchase of the WWF and it's rise in the early 80's. I just finished part 2 and it's been a pretty good read so far. It's not sourced, but I have seen comments pointing out anything that may be off. Would be interested in hearing what anyone else thought of it. Are there any good books or articles that go into this time in detail? https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/4epsby/rise_of_the_wwe_a_timeline_of_vince_mcmahons/

Hello everyone, I know it is on the PTBN podcast network and not PWO/PTBN, but I'm still super excited to promote Lucha Afterground here now that we have been added! Our little Lucha Underground after show has a new home! Check out our latest here: http://placetobe.podbean.com/e/lucha-afterground-season-3-episode-1/ I think the lack of encyclopedic knowledge we possess is more than made up for by our fine tooth approach and our passion for the project. I also personally think it acts as a good companion piece to Pete and Timothy's LU discussion on This Week in Wrestling. For instance, Pete and I saw eye to eye in our rankings of this week's opener, but he…

https://tvtimelimitremaining.wordpress.com/ I posted this in a few different forums, and since I had a short time posting on here, thought it would be worthile plugging it here also.
