April 24, 20187 yr comment_5844684 That Bruno doc was fantastic. Lots of great footage, I just wish it was longer, could've listen to another hour of that. What a great man he was, so glad he came back and reconciled with Vince. Definitely want to see more of the WWWF era being covered. Wonder if we get another Bruno collection as well.
April 24, 20187 yr comment_5844739 Wouldn't they have been better off just uploading the Coliseum Home Video Versions? Only if you like shows with massive amounts of edits.
April 24, 20187 yr comment_5844758 I remember a match where Terry Funk kept referring to Z-Man as "Zeman", causing Chris Cruise to repeatedly correct him.

April 26, 20187 yr comment_5845010 Solid episode of the podcast on WWE Network this week about the Mega Powers exploding. I'm sure it's a repeat of something they did on audio before, but it was new to me. No breaking news or groundbreaking shockers, but it was a fun listen nonetheless. The idiotic sleaze thread Steph bullshit rumors are brought up without really being brought up. I was glad to see Bruce firmly deny it. Hopefully that bullshit rumor fucks off and dies now. The production values, thank heavens, are miles better this week. Some slight hiccups, but not the catastrophe last week's show was. The ugly bright blue border and crooked window boxes are still there though. I still think WWE is extremely lazy with the video clips. There should be a lot more, especially when Benn Hinn is describing a match or angle in great detail. I'd rather see what he's actually talking about instead of a split-screen with Pavarotti nodding along.
April 26, 20187 yr comment_5845102 Bruce has been doing his part to dispel the Savage/Steph rumors since 2013 or so. Highly doubt him repeating it again here will make a dent. People will keep parroting what they've already heard.

April 28, 20187 yr comment_5845824 I finally stumbled into the Mid-Atlantic footage and I'm loving it.

Are you sure cos I reff remember then releasing Bio vids like Jesse Ventura, Kurt Angle and many others.
April 28, 20187 yr comment_5845917 Coliseum died in '97. Are you sure cos I reff remember then releasing Bio vids like Jesse Ventura, Kurt Angle and many others. That was WWF Home Video, not Coliseum, which as Migs says died in 1997.
April 30, 20187 yr comment_5846240 No word on a May content drop yet? PWInsider: Reports that WWE plans to add 104 episodes of Mid-Atlantic TV in May, which will finish that promotion’s run. They will add another 76 episodes of Mid-South in June and 50 episodes of WCW Saturday Night in July. They also have Sunday Night Heat ready to add whenever they choose, as well as additional WWE Coliseum Home Video titles later this year.
April 30, 20187 yr comment_5846294 It's going to be Sunday Night Heat. Nothing specifically about what's going up, just when (next Monday).

You should probably write your representative in the House of Lords and ask him to look into that.

Having a tag team of Heat and Mid-Atlantic this month seems to be the best way to make everyone happy.

May 3, 20187 yr comment_5846727 I enjoyed the Shawn Michaels 1995 episode of Something ELSE to Wrestle on WWE Network - although I'm sure it's all old news to the podcast listeners - but my God, the Bruce/Conrad arguments feel really fake and forced. Conrad accusing Bruce, who is essentially of BOSS, of kissing WWE's ass feels beyond manufactured for the sake of drama. I'll give them both credit for being great actors though - their "put upon" expressions look genuine, if nothing else. I would love for Vince to listen to one episode of this show and say, "Damn it, no more Meltzer! You're banned from mentioning him ever again, pal." Every other word out of Conrad's mouth is Meltzer this and Meltzer that. It's lame and obnoxious. With that said, I don't want it to sound like I'm bashing Conrad - I think he does a pretty good job (and a thankless job at that) of steering the ship of the show. Otherwise, these shows are a fun trip down memory lane and a great reminder of some classic angles I had almost forgotten about - like the Shawn-Owen "post concussion syndrome" collapse on Raw, which was incredible stuff at the time and absolutely seemed real to me, or at least cast enough doubt in my mind.
May 5, 20187 yr comment_5847111 Does anyone know what belt John Studd has on the December 1981 Mid-Atlantic shows?
May 5, 20187 yr comment_5847125 Looking at Wikipedia it's most likely the NWA Canadian Heavyweight Championship as he was the champ at the time.
May 5, 20187 yr comment_5847126 Cool. They never mentioned it and it was familiar looking but I didn't recognize it.
May 5, 20187 yr comment_5847163 I knew Sgt. Slaughter was good but damn. Watching him doing squashes weekly and cutting weekly promos. It's an absolute delight to watch the guy do his thing.
May 6, 20187 yr comment_5847214 Him trying to weasel out of doing the Cobra Clutch Challenge with Jay Youngblood was great.
