December 23, 201410 yr comment_5646555 I can't imagine a Hogan shoot would be of anything of value aside possibly entertainment. Then again that could be said for most shoots.
December 23, 201410 yr comment_5646559 KC wanted Backlund for 1981, but they couldn't come to terms on a price tag. Too bad too, I would have loved hearing about the famous Valentine match where Greg was announced as new champ. I guess we can hold out hope for Bob for 1982, because I have no idea who else they can get besides Snuka, and that would be a trainwreck. Maybe Afa and/or Sika? Hopefully they will try and get Bob for 81 but why does he want so much. I guess there is little chance of getting Hogan to do a timeline. They wound up doing '81 with Rick Martel. But, I'm hopeful for 1982. . . . .
December 23, 201410 yr comment_5646589 I can't imagine a Hogan shoot would be of anything of value aside possibly entertainment. Then again that could be said for most shoots. Im glad that Flair did one even though it was a tad annoying he kept spitting in a bottle. Love to hear Hogan do a shoot possibly the same length as that guy in Australia who hosts The Voice I found very interesting. Its a shame randy Savage never did one either as every wrestlers should do one once. KC wanted Backlund for 1981, but they couldn't come to terms on a price tag.

They did a Finlay one for Smackdown Blue a while ago and thought they would cover both shows.
December 23, 201410 yr comment_5646595 When you mention Hogan doing a shoot...... I remember hearing a clip on a podcast of Hogan discussing Brody and why they never wrestled in Japan. Anyone know where that came from?

December 30, 201410 yr comment_5647516 I'm a bit more than halfway through the first edition of Back to Territories, and this first one is a winner. Corny and Duggan discuss the various names and faces associated with the territory, and talk about the horrendous road trips and crazed fans, along with plenty of good stories, and little cutaways for Cornette to discus the history of the promotion. I'm exactly at the same point, and yes, totally agree, this is great. Cornette is having a blast doing this and Duggan is a fun guest. Can't wait for the following ones.
January 1, 201510 yr comment_5647626 Jim Cornette is really good on the Crockett Diaries but man the Highspots guys barely even edited that thing. Parts where Cornette clearly cues them to do an edit they don't edit, with stuff like him restarting stories multiple times. Not to mention you can't hear them asking questions so you have these long spots where they are prepping Cornette to do his next spiel but you can't hear it.

Not to mention you can't hear them asking questions so you have these long spots where they are prepping Cornette to do his next spiel but you can't hear it. Cornette is a amazing shoot guy. When I first heard how many he did I thought why thats gotta be boring but every Cornette shoot ive seen I have loved every minute of them and hes probably my most fav Shoot guest.
January 2, 201510 yr comment_5647753 Yup. Until Back to the Territories I was sick to death of the over-dramatic Rent-A-Gob. I like him in the role as host for someone else on a shoot, but I could happily live with Jim Cornette never being the subject of one again.
January 2, 201510 yr comment_5647755 Cornette is fine as long as you don't ask him to talk about stuff that happened after 1988.
January 2, 201510 yr comment_5647756 Cornette is fine as long as you don't ask him to talk about stuff that happened after 1998. Corrected. He has so much insight to what the WWF was doing in 96/97 and anything about early WCW or SMW is usually gold too. So.
January 2, 201510 yr comment_5647758 Yea but it seems like he can't help himself but to go off on Vince Russo, Jim Herd or "why I hated Connecticut" rants so I'd prefer him not to even go beyond Crockett selling the company since I've heard everything he has to say about his WWF, SMW & WCW days by this point.
January 2, 201510 yr comment_5647761 It's the same old shit every single interview he does. He certainly knows his audience, though.
January 2, 201510 yr comment_5647822 Is his Doctumentary series any good? Ive seen the trailer when he toured the UK and sounds a right laugh how hes will to take the piss out of them home guards who have to guard the palace and cant move. He had a few stand up shows filmed didnt he? Has anyone watched any of these to know what they are like or if each one is different.
January 3, 201510 yr comment_5647891 I just watched his 2014 RF shoot. It's a nice companion piece to the Breaking Kayfabe. He goes into much more detail about his time in TNA, and ROH is really only glossed over, aside from the iPPV incidents.
January 3, 201510 yr comment_5647908 Ive not seen that one yet. Ive seen all the Kayefabe Commentaries ones he did and 1996 was very interesting about the Vader/Shawn feud. He doesnt hold back either, I forget the amount of profanities he used towards Michaels and Shawn finding God.
January 4, 201510 yr comment_5647995 Just watched the ECW 1998 Timeline with New Jack. It was solid, but not groundbreaking. Jack does a good job of talking about the overall vibe of the year, but he wasn't really involved in the top angles, so there's not a lot of discussion of the booking or the big moments on-screen.
January 4, 201510 yr comment_5648112 Ive not seen that one yet. Ive seen all the Kayefabe Commentaries ones he did and 1996 was very interesting about the Vader/Shawn feud. He doesnt hold back either, I forget the amount of profanities he used towards Michaels and Shawn finding God. He did a 1996 one? I thought he only did 1997 (which was really good, btw).
January 4, 201510 yr comment_5648130 No the 96 one has yet to come out but he did cover the Vader-Shawn feud in the 97 one.

He doesnt hold back either, I forget the amount of profanities he used towards Michaels and Shawn finding God. He did a 1996 one? I thought he only did 1997 (which was really good, btw). No I just meant he discussed the problems with Vader & Shawn & Summerslam. Are there any future KC stuff in the pipeline? All ive heard of is RVD.
January 5, 201510 yr comment_5648224 They have announced that the next Back to the Territories will be Mid-Atlantic with JJ Dillon.
January 8, 201510 yr comment_5648642 In their update, they announced they are going to do Timeline 1996 with Raven. Which is a bit disappointing - Raven's certainly a good choice in the abstract, but we've all seen him talk about his ECW run ad nauseam. Also, they are doing a Breaking Kayfabe with Sabu.

Which is a bit disappointing - Raven's certainly a good choice in the abstract, but we've all seen him talk about his ECW run ad nauseam. Also, they are doing a Breaking Kayfabe with Sabu. And Raven has talked at length about how shitty his memory is from those days . . . .
