Basically 2011-present last I checked.

They need to have the full archive available on day one. If I’m going to pay a wrestling company owned by a fascist media empire $120, they can at least have all the old events available.

Hoot of the year so far.

Fact. Also as far as Ronda Rousey goes I'm fairly certainshe is already being presented as a heel. The way everyone else in the ring reacted to her coming out at the Rumble, the way the rest of the roster is talking about her on twitter, all signs point to her being a heel. They know a lot of the fans are going to boo her for being the "outsider" coming in with a big push so they're just going to lean into it. Yeah, I think the smiley/point to the sign thing was just a one-time deal for her first time in, whether she is a heel or not. That said, it’s going to be pretty tough for her to be a heel if she’s working with Stephanie at Mania and they should just roll with her as a babyface. I’d also rather see Charlotte be a heel if they are doing that eventually, too. I don’t have much faith in Charlotte carrying a good match as a babyface at this point.

They are terrific. I love the MMC so far but especially anything involving team Little Big. They’re going all the way.

This is spectacular. Sasha is amazing in this match and it’s a great reminder of how terrific Charlotte’s act was at this time when she was a delusional heel champ desperate to keep her title. They just have great chemistry that gets me emotionally invested every time they are in a match together. The kendo stick portions are especially vicious. I can always do without stuff like Charlotte doing moonsaults off the announce table but the really non-sensical stuff like that is minimal here.

He’s been discussing it and other podcast-related stuff a bunch on the F4W Board. No-brainer for them to just throw on some webcams and put the same shows on YouTube and monetize it.

I finally got around to listening to this today (thanks for the new link!). Was a great listen. I miss Wrestling Culture.

In the least surprising turn of events ever, Bate vs Strong was awesome this week. What a night of matches that Takeover crowd had. The Orlando territory is on fire.

At least we did get the amazing thing that was Wee-LC (and I was supposed to see it again last year in Swoggle’s fed but Torito was hurt and couldn’t go).

There’s literally a thread on the F4W Board right now entitled “Since When Did People Care About Rey Mysterio So Much?” The good thing is that the replies are practically all people saying “since about 1996.”

Watching the live stream of tonight’s IWA Mid-South show on Powerbomb.tv. Love being able to pop in and check out a live show like this on a Thursday night.

Fat Adam Cole is one of the best PWG commentary gags ever.

I probably should just stop watching Smackdown and switch to 205 Live at this point.

Heavy Machinery... extremely my stuff. God, I love those dudes. I just want them to start having TV feuds in general, and for the WWE to finally start selling me a fucking steaks and weights shirt.

He did a documentary on CZW/Tournament of Death for Vice, too.

I'm a sober guy who doesn't stay up past 10:30 often but that show is so appealing to me. I don't think I'll go but might just play it by ear.

There’s just so much and I want to see all of it.

Awesome!

If you look up the WrestleCon website, I'm sure there's more shows if you want to attend more shows.Also, last year they began running shows on Tuesday, so if you want to go to other shows during the week, then I'm sure there will be options for that. We’re getting in on Thursday at about 11, I believe.

I almost have lost track of which shows were are seeing... Thursday: Matt Riddle’s Bloodsport Evolve Friday: Progress Evolve WWN Supershow Saturday: Pancakes & Piledrivers CZW ROH Then going to Mania on Sunday. Maybe some earlier morning shows, too, if anything pops up that is intriguing.

If you weren’t aware, John Pollock & Wai Ting started their own site, POST Wrestling, where they post reviews of the shows: https://www.postwrestling.com It’s like the LAW but without the bad people (though Agnew was on their Rumble show since he hosted them at his house to watch it). My new go-to for Reaction type shows aside from John & Wai’s lately has been the ones that Fightful.com does, which are usually pretty good. I especially like their post-Raw show. Those can be found here: https://www.fightfulpods.com They also stream the video of the show on their YouTube page. It’s an up and coming site and, IMO, really rapidly becoming very good. Please don’t subject yourself to Vince Russo anymore. There are so many people more deserving of your listening time.

Great show. Glad those weeks and weeks of pre-Rumble TV are over and hopefully the shows can get down to more of this kind of business now. Definitely too bad the crowd sucked but I couldn’t imagine going to 15 hours of WWE shows over a few days and staying hyper-interested in what I am watching.

Card wasn’t very appealing to me so I was planning on skipping it unless something got buzzed.

They’ll have Omega, which is the main NJPW draw in the US. The ROH show in Chicago in October sold out as soon as he was announced for it. They are doing him vs Cody at the Mania weekend ROH show but I’m sure he’ll have a big match at this show.
