September 13, 20169 yr comment_5767920 Nash and Hall still so insecure whenever Meltzer's name comes up. I think Hall called him "some guy that never gets laid" in his YouShoot. So of course Nash's response when Oliver asks him if someone can judge wine without making it is to say "fuck him" then look into the camera and say "How's your life, buddy? It ain't better than mine."
September 14, 20169 yr comment_5768066 "First PPV I booked, Benoit beat Sid for the World Title". Holy shit Nash. The bullshit detector just went crazy on that one. The best part of this whole deal is what was shown in the trailer, the Greg Gagne joke.
September 15, 20169 yr comment_5768205 I generally love Nash's stuff with KC, but I don't know about this one. Wasn't the hook supposed to be Nash pitching ideas for Diesel and Razor to remain in '96 WWF?
September 15, 20169 yr comment_5768220 I thought it was pretty terrible this time around. The "booking" part was embarrassing, although Nash did had one excellent line at the end which kinda summerized the whole thing.
September 15, 20169 yr comment_5768230 I watched the Back to the Territories covering the WWA with Baron Von Raschke. I enjoy this series, and thought this was a pretty good edition. As usual, Cornette tells tales about the area and his guest throws in his two cents. It was very focused on Dick the Brusier, but there was also talk about Wilbur Snyder, Ernie Ladd, the promotional war with Sheik in Detroit, and Bobby Heenan. I recommend it. Sounds excellent and right up my alley.

September 26, 20168 yr comment_5769669 I generally love Nash's stuff with KC, but I don't know about this one. Wasn't the hook supposed to be Nash pitching ideas for Diesel and Razor to remain in '96 WWF? Not surprised. The WCW 1997 timeline was a bridge to far for me. It was entertaining, but anybody who closely follows that time period would find the overlooks, letting Nash work him, and not asking more probing questions just too tough. I got the impression from that vid that Nash knew he had good rapport with SO and that he had gotten over with the core buying audience, and now he was shifting more to just doing what he wanted to do.
September 26, 20168 yr comment_5769699 Nash really has run out of stories anyway. At least stories he can share publicly. The Carmen Electra thing was closet to something new that he hasn't already talked out. Which is understandable, everyone has their shtick down eventually, it's just not as entertaining if you're watching them regularly. Like, the Legends thing on the network was 1/2 Nash telling stories from his last KC Timeline and 1/2 Hall repeating anecdotes verbatim from his DVD doc.

Side tracked with other writing projects. I'll try to do a shoot review every few weeks. We are switching servers soon to try and rid ourselves of our bandwidth/hacking issues.
October 1, 20168 yr comment_5770339 That Todd Gordon interview looks like it could be fantastic. Indeed. Todd is God...
October 4, 20168 yr comment_5770579 The first story being Sandman banned from the venue (a sports bar) before even the very first show makes it worthwhile already. This is glorious.
October 4, 20168 yr comment_5770583 This is first timeline since maybe Cornette's last one where the interviewee is actually stoked to go into details and looks like they're really having a great time talking about things. Only watched about an hour so far and already so many funny stories and stories about people you never hear about from the building. Really hope they do the 95 timeline with him.

They already did '95 with Sandman (which was, of course, kinda meh).
October 6, 20168 yr comment_5770823 And it's really too bad, because it's obvious Gordon would be more than willing to tell the rest of the story. A terrific edition, easily one of the best with the 97 Cornette one. So many cool stories.
October 7, 20168 yr comment_5770962 I wouldn't be surprised if they do more stuff with Tod, it's getting a lot of strong feedback on Twitter so he'll probably be back for more.
October 17, 20168 yr Author comment_5772023 Kayfabe Commentaries are starting a new series called "Supercard" which will feature a star going over one of the biggest cards he participated in. Bundy is up first, talking Mania 2
October 17, 20168 yr comment_5772032 They picked the one PPV that was split in three. Very odd choice to debut a serie focusing on detailing a supercard, really...
October 18, 20168 yr comment_5772181 The first story being Sandman banned from the venue (a sports bar) before even the very first show makes it worthwhile already. This is glorious. It's even better when he talks about giving Heyman the book, but requiring that he has to give his approval of everything. "Paul E. would have burned down the building during the first year!"
October 21, 20168 yr Author comment_5772556 They picked the one PPV that was split in three. Very odd choice to debut a serie focusing on detailing a supercard, really... You can argue it was the most ambitious effort ever tried though. Bundy is really good in these.
