Due to work and hectic schedules, I didn't get a chance to participate in the discussion for this one here on the board. But I'm definitely looking forward to the discussion. A lot of interesting pieces & players were in motion around this time, and the whole giant "nostalgia wave" was in full effect for the majority of the year. Can't wait to hear some of the thoughts & suggestions you guys kick around.

 

The podcast in general remains one of my constant favorites. Glad to see you guys keeping consistent and keeping it mixed up with your selection of topics.

Thanks very much dude, really do appreciate the complimentary words - it is a shame you weren't able to chime in, lemme know what you think. I guess the big crux of the issue is how much you believe the numbers would have risen or fallen if they got ballsy with the new blood they had on deck, and how far you want to go away from that constant harking back as they were doing at the time. Obviously you don't want to just kill off your legendary guys, but it's a balancing act. It's also funny in hindsight how quick the wrestling world was then compared to now. A four year run on top for the WWF, but at this point an awful lot of characters are facing the point where they have to be careful not to feel outdated.
