Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 13, 2016 Paid Members Posted February 13, 2016 Old Karl Pilkinton in a wig himself is back in podcast form. He and Alex Shane are doing a weekly podcast discussing all the worlds news it seems. What's cool about this is, its a spoken word version of Power Slam. You got your news and opinion, your Q and A's and your PPV reviews all within the thing. Pretty decent listen if you've got nothing else on. Quote
Ladiesman345 Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Really enjoyable listen! Alex Shane is actually bearable as well. Martin's voice is just fantastic also. Who was the British wrestler kicked out the TNA locker room? Quote
NEWM Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Reading the book was a bit like reading the magazine itself for me. Found everything from the early 90s - 2005 really engaging, then gradually lost patience with his groaning indifference to WWE and impenetrable hatred of John Cena. Surely a wrestling fan just cannot be so ignorant to SOME of Cena's abilities, regardless of some of the old criticisms? Fin also carried his sly pissynesss with Bret Hart over from the magazine too which was sometimes quite overbearing. All that said, I enjoyed it overall and found his PS tales quite interesting, but I've absolutely no motivation to hear what he thinks about wrestling ever again. As a journalist or commentator on it, he feels light years behind those I'd choose to read or listen to on podcasts now. Quote
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted February 13, 2016 Paid Members Posted February 13, 2016 Clicked on a random part of the podcast timeline and they're moaning about Styles working with The Miz. Nothing ever changes. Quote

Pier Six Brawler Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Findlay has just released this e-book of interviews from Power Slam, looks like an interesting read for people who didn't read the magazine back then and a trip down memory lane for those that did. Quote
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Any news on Fins new e-book, The PowerSlam Interviews? Seriously though, thanks for posting will be buying this for sure. Edited July 22, 2016 by Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Quote
Guest Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 An e-book of interviews from Power Slam? That sounds like an interesting read for people who didn't read the magazine back then and a trip down memory lane for those that did. Quote
Guest Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Have read the preview chapter wot Steve Austin and is quite good. Fin prefixes that most is in kayfabe, but still reads well Quote
MrRJL Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Reading Fin's second book right now and am enjoying it. Regardless, looking back at the 1994 Austin interview was frustrating as Fin seemed to be asking questions out of kayfabe, but Austin was answering completely inside of kayfabe. I found it very cringe worthy. However I have really enjoyed looking back on the others from Foely, Bam Bam and Douglas. Bam Bam's in particular was pretty interesting and eye opening (although not exactly in a positive way) Quote
Snitsky's back acne Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Reading Fin's second book right now and am enjoying it. Regardless, looking back at the 1994 Austin interview was frustrating as Fin seemed to be asking questions out of kayfabe, but Austin was answering completely inside of kayfabe. I found it very cringe worthy. Austin was rather profound when he said, in gimmick or not, that he was the 'future of pro-wrestling'. How right he was! Quote

Yeah, it's quite funny looking back and seeing quotes like this. Quote

I found it very cringe worthy. The questions were added after the fact, because it was originally an article. So the questions he is asking are for the benefit of the reader in 2016. That's not what he was asking in the original magazine. Liked the book. Power Slam had some absolute belting interviews over the years. I really liked the new intros to the interviews.

Otto Dem Wanz Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 It's strange, I've re-read certain parts of Fin's first book hundreds of times by now, but after reading his latest one haven't been back to look at a single interview. Quote
