Taking your suggestions for guys pushed way above their limitations throughout wrestling history, we talk about world champions that maybe shouldn't have been such as Jeff Jarrett, Justin Credible and Ron Simmons, WCW nepotism with Erik Watts and Dustin Rhodes, as well as the use and talents of such individuals as Brutus Beefcake, Billy Gunn, Abyss, Hardcore Holly, Eugene, The Big Show, Alberto Del Rio, Dino Bravo, Sheamus and many more that you felt were given way too much.

Not the best audio quality with Sullivan sounding like he's on the phone, but it can get really fascinating to hear stories about how Nitros were put together, especially all the political stuff involving Hogan. The story of why Hogan put Arn Anderson over was pretty interesting. Kevin says it was all Jim Barnett's idea BTW.

https://soundcloud.com/jerryvonkramer/super-extreme-vault-la-park Steven, Marc and Glenn are back to take a hardcore look at L.A. Park (La Parka). What is more hardcore than a dancing skeleton that swings chairs? What about one that puts his opponent's shirt on a chair, lights it on fire and then hits them with the flaming chair? Enjoy our discussion on this bloody skeleton on our first (of many) deviations from ECW.

Anybody listen to this? I'm half way through and he's hilarious.

The SCG Court Cases return this week for the Trial of Paul Heyman! The prosecution attempt to charge Paul E's booking for being more detrimental than positive for the wrestling business in the long haul, and debate the hardcore style, the human toll, drugs, ECW's influence on WWF Attitude and impact on the Monday Night War, just how key they really were to the stars that got signed by the Big Two, his role booking Smackdown, eye for talent and much more, as the defence vehemently backs one of the most well regarded figures in the industry. And as always, we take your statement on Paul E's booking legacy. Will Heyman be found guilty? Check it out and let us know what y…

This week's SCG Radio is now available, after taking feedback from a number of forums and in the inbox, the panel and I discuss all things WCW in October 1999 in an effort to prevent the company from certain doom. We ended up taking a booking meeting approach - cutting the enormous roster, talking pushes, talent, angles, feuds and directions that could have perhaps salvaged things, evaluating all the issues WCW had at the time and the problems they were facing, talking about whether or not it was beyond repair at this point, and of course, taking your suggestions on how to turn things around. A very fun show this week, check it out and as always, let us know what you …

Here's the deal, I'm a glutton for punishment. A few people at various outlets online have been asking me to review some matches for them. My idea; start a blog about it. That blog is Random Match Generator, and essentially you ask for me to review a match and I will review that match. The only caveats are that I won't review something I've already reviewed for any of the other sites I write for. Also, if you suggest something for me to review and I find it to be a great match, think **** or higher, then it will be reviewed on my other blog, Blue Thunder Driver instead. Oh yeah, other caveat, the match has to be readily available. But yeah, I think that's it. I've already…
