Sunny Side Up: In Through the Backdoor
Have you contributed to the "How to write a Wrestling Review" thread? Because this right here is how you write a review.It felt like I was reading Parv when it got to the "unromantic jackhammering" portion.

WCW ongoing thread
I decided to start watching Nitros/PPV's starting from the first appearance of black and white Sting. A couple in and already feeling like this won't stick.

I'm a couple behind. Need to catch up on it.

PWG
Easily my favorite company. Less so over the past couple years since WWE signed most of the guys I loved on the indy scene, but I still enjoy them more often than not.

WWE Network... It's Here
I was so ready to cancel the Network after the Rumble, but then Nakamura/Zayn became a thing and they added all this Nitro.

Between the Sheets #27 (January 19-25, 1998) (Featuring Jordan Breen)
Back when I used to be a huge MMA fan, Breen's show was can't-miss for me. I will definitely listen to this one.

Between the Sheets #25 (January 5-11, 1994)
Ha. I listen to Everywhere You Look.

NJPW workers going to WWE?
The Impact Zone comes to the Rumble! Yeah, sure, them too. The Rumble is an event. It's not a normal PPV. I still think they should hold it in Iowa generally, if they want to control crowd reactions.I mean, it makes sense to debut AJ Styles in Orlando since he worked there for however many years it was.

WWE TV 12/14-12/20
I didn't see it (I figured it was just going to be another screwjob). Roman Reigns is fucking great, though, so I am glad they finally did it.

NWA On Demand
Pretty sure it is a hell of a lot harder to get on the Apple Store than Roku. Apple TV is also just nowhere near as good of a product at this point (at least IMO as I do use both of them).

The Lapsed Fan Starrcade
Pretty much my stance on it, as well. I rarely ever agree with their wrestling takes (the standard Meltzer takes - Angle, Michaels, Malenko, etc, are great workers and stuff like that), but I laugh my ass off at the inside jokes every week. If you're hyper PC (like a grimmas-type, as an example), you're going to hate it so don't even bother. If you think wrestling is generally a ridiculous/absurd thing that you can simultaneously love and point and laugh at, it is more up your alley. I guess I have kind of always thought the very idea of wrestling podcasts is masturbatory tripe. What I look for in a pod is something that will make me laugh or make me learn. If you don't do that, I don't listen beyond one episode.

Any update on the Roku app, Bruce?

I think that really evolved into their thing, more work than shoot. They got a lot of shit on the F4W board when it first started, so they did a lot of it to troll them. Jack is a legit great serious MMA journalist/podcast host (which is how they got Meltzer), but he just fucks around on TLF. Also, the show is basically one big inside joke at this stage, so 10 minutes makes it really hard to get that stuff. Obviously, that's not going to be everyone's type of show.
