Disclaimer:: There isn't much discussion about Edge. If you were waiting for this show because of the Edge talk, we are sorry you will be disappointed.

Not even about his awesome spear?

Will's Triple H impression was great, regardless of Johnny's reaction.

I couldn't remember Will doing a Triple H impression (it was a long night), so I went back to listen to that bit. Man, that was one of the more intense and heated debates we've ever had on a show. For those short on time, or backed up on podcasts or whatever, I've isolated that 10 minutes here for quick access:

 

I'd say the bit about the Freebirds was a pretty intense argument as well for 3 guys who seem pretty high on the Freebirds.

There is fun all around in this episode. HHH, Freebirds, Piper... all intense arguments.

Holy shit, I completely forgot the Triple H debate. Actually forgot this whole show.

Fucking Canadians. We just finished part three last night.

Lots of combustion in this podcast, really good topic, however,I honestly thought fisticuffs were in order

Blame the 7 hours of podcasting I did not night!

Me too, I was shitfaced, what's your excuse? And arguing with your friends is easy and makes sense. Arguing with strangers is fucking psychotic.

And sorry Johnny but the mob is right in this case. Hunter for the most part is a really shitty heel.

Hunter killed any interest in mid-00s WWE I had. Great heel work there.

I can't wait to get your guys' lists in part 3. I think it was Will who suggested Tatum as a replacement for Gordy and Johnny who said it wouldn't have worked because Gordy and Hayes had grown up together. Coincidentally Tatum and Hayes actually grew up together too.

Well so was Percy Pringle. If it'd been a team of Hayes, Tatum and Pringle as the Birds, it'd have been forgettable. Haha.

Triple-H is probably the main reason I quit watching WWE and most of my friends who used to watch cite HHH as their reason for moving on as well.

 

Nobody, as Johnny tried to argue, booed or hated HHH. They were indifferent toward him and could care less.

I thought this got really fascinating with the DiBiase talk. Will's point of view - watching him in Mid-South, then thinking he's a just another character in WWF - was interesting, and contrasted so sharply with Parv's love for Million Dollar Man and general mid-to-late 80s WWF kitsch. Attacking Parv's youth and the general 'you weren't there man, you'll never know' tone was amusing. As was the counter-accusation of anti-WWF snobbery by Parv.

 

With this, and Parv's noncommital response to whether NWA could have been bigger in the 80s on the Hogan show (I thought Will had him when he started quoting Great American Bash attendences...), I think there's a very interesting podcast waiting to happen on the generational differences in perspective.
