Not sure about that. He graduated college last year and has a "job for life" with New Japan due to helping Okada when Okada was in the US.

Young up and comer AJ Styles seems to be the man who will eventually take Bully out.

Larry Matysik's 50 Greatest Professional Wrestlers
Apparently Larry will address criticisms tomorrow with Bryan and Dave. Bryan said they might play audio clips of Todd Martin's review on that show. Trainwreck potential.

Rey is going to James Andrews this time. There might be some hope.

Larry Matysik's 50 Greatest Professional Wrestlers
Todd Martin went after this book very hard on his radio show with Alvarez today. Echoing much of the same criticisms listed here: dismissals of Lawler and Rey and his bias towards Wrestling of the 50-70s and bias against modern performers. Poorly researched, poor argued and biased was the summation of Todd's review of it. The only thing he liked were the bios Larry wrote. It is at the last 10 or so minutes of the podcast.

Not even El Ligero? He has been knocking around for years.

Really enjoyed this one. Great upbeat energy off this one despite the nature of some of the topics. Not a lecture just a fun discussion.

You could say this about others but ranking Brody over Undertaker is really silly to me. I don't see what Brody has over him in any category.

Hope the gimmick lasts for 10 months at least so we get "War on Christmas" promos.

The latest Observer mentions that William Regal tweeted that WWE is interested in the World of Sport library. I would be interested if there would any "save our British heritage" campaign if this heads to the advantaged stages.

Little questions thread
John Lister can go into more detail as he wrote a book about the promotion. But ECW never made a paid even in the early days due to their reliance on flying in talent.

He really is impressive and ambitious in that. It is really clear he is a big fan of Rey Mysterio. Not saying he has Rey's psychology yet but definitely has his spirit.

He is a very impressive flyer. His series of matches with El Generico in DGUSA are what standout to me.

Loser Leaves Town 2.0 - Help me pick the first show to post
I can see why you are asking the question but I'd go with TJP first. Not sure TJP is under went a bit of a revival interest wise last year given some strong and varied matches in PWG. Colt is somewhat over exposed and Steve is something to kind of hype IMO. Perhaps you are thinking TJP is a soft launch but people who discover your podcast on episodes 2, 3 and so on will at least see you have prior shows and would be more willing to subscribe on iTunes or whatever for that reason. Also as you said it establishes the concept. With that said I wouldn't over think it!
