WrestleMe!

Hello! Pete and I just wanted to say a genuine thanks so much for the kind words here, it genuinely makes it all worthwhile (I thought I'd get in on this thread while it was still good and before someone said the show was shit - although now if they do, it'll look like they're doing a bit based on me saying someone would say it was shit). I should add we don't do it alone, the tremendous BanyaBat (he's on Twitter, but I never know if he wants us to use his first name, so I've not) makes the YouTube videos based on our older shows, and he's absolutely fantastic (he also does the very good Smershpod ones). And thanks for not mentioning that I said 'WCW Intercontinental title' in the Rick Rude video instead of 'WCW International', I appreciate it. WRESTLE ME, YOU LOT

Wrong place, sorry

Hi! If you've still got the NOAH and the AAA BluRays available, I'd love to take them off your hands. Thanks a lot!

We're so made up. As a long time lurker and reader, it's mad to appear on the list of winners. Honestly - thanks so much!

Hope the next 12 month-long joyless slog through the well-behaved years of 2009-2019 doesn't mean a Worst Wrestling Podcast category gets introduced specifically for us next year.

This thread was name checked on the latest WrestleMe. Nice to have you around Mark. If it helps I don't even know who Peter Crouch is. 

Hahah long time reader, recent account holder (I actually joined to buy some RudoReels discs from someone selling off their collection) - and thought I'd better give you my picks, otherwise I'm hijacking the thread just to say hello!

Best pro wrestler - Will Ospreay, Chris Jericho, Okada

Best women's wrestler - Shayna Baszler, Io Shirai, Tessa Blanchard

Match of the Year - Ospreay/Takagi BOSJ, Cody / Dustin AEW Double Or Nothing, Devlin / Starr at OTT 5th Year Anniversary.

Best wrestling event - WK13, the double whammy of NXT Takeover: War Games & Survivor Series 2019 over two nights, and the G1 (as usual)

Best wrestling show - NXT

Best feud or angle - David Starr chasing an elusive win over Walter through Progress and OTT. NXT vs AEW. 

Moment of the Year - AEW announce Dynamite and their TV deal - it's the Wednesday Night Wars! (I edited this, I first put in 'formation of AEW' like a dolt)

Best babyface - Cody, Kofi Kingston, Nick Gage (who's become the least babyface babyface in wrestling history)

Best heel - Le Champion Chris Jericho, Minoru Suzuki, Walter

Funniest moment of the year - Invisible Man vs Invisible Stan at GCW Spring Break - could have been awful, but was really fun with ref Bryce Remsbury deserving all the credit. A Little Bit of the Bubbly: yes, it got overdone, but it was only overdone because it was immediately hilarious.

Best tag team - Undisputed Era

Best wrestling podcast - WRESTLE ME (no shame, we need the rub). That Peter Crouch Podcast (it's not wrestling, but we always lose to it in polls, so I fully expect it to beat us here too)

Best use of social media - Roy Lucier. The shows he puts up on a regular basis is just jaw dropping.

Honestly though, it's genuinely humbling to see Wrestle Me pop up on some of the Best Podcast suggestions. I've been reading the UKFF for years, so it really does mean a lot to me that the forum kind of likes the nonsense that Pete and I put out. OH GOD I DON'T WANT US TO LOSE TO BRUCE PRITCHARD AGAIN

Thanks so much - great product quickly delivered. Cheers

Just been through a pile of old tapes because I thought I'd dubbed Dynamite Radio off at the time - I was trading tapes a few years after these came out, and these sorts of shoots were everywhere and so easily accessible, it didn't really cross anyone's mind to save them - but I've got the whole first episode of Dynamite Radio on a tape which also has some 1999 shoot interviews with Kid and Bulldog, which were part of LAW. I think I only dubbed off the first episode of Dynamite Radio because it was a pretty poor listen - a transatlantic phoner with Kid - and the later episodes were nearly unlistenable, with Kid clearly not interested in participating. I've not got a tape to digital converter at the moment, but thought I'd just let you know at least Ep One still exists in someone's collection.

I had loads of these tapes but sold them on eBay in a big lot a lot of years ago, and if I remember, not for much - so there may be more out there in someone's collection.

Not much help in hearing the content, but here's the photos of the tape (with the homemade sleeve).
