Kieran was there at the time and Andy and Eddie are coming to this for the first time. It has been a fun listen and I can't recommend it highly enough. Also Andy and Kieran did Working A Reslo about Orig Williams Welsh promotion on TV. A great listen again if you like to hear about the 5 moves of doom, who is dead, and who turned out to be a murderer. The last category is not who you'd think. Someone recommended it to me earlier this year and it's definitely my favourite for 2025. Quote

It sounds interesting, but my knowledge of the FWA is minimal at best, is that likely to affect my enjoyment of it, or do they explain along the way? Quote
Paid Members Statto Posted December 31, 2025 Paid Members Posted December 31, 2025 You'll be fine coming to it knowing nothing because 2 of the 3 hosts are also coming in blind & Kieran explains along the way. I'll be honest, when the show started I was a bit dubious about that being the format - as someone who was attending the shows & watching the TV at the time I initially thought it should be a group of people who were all there at the time discussing, but it's worked much better with it being fresh/suprising/flabbergasting to Eddie & Andy.

As Statto says Twoster you will be fine not knowing about it, and the good thing is that if you hear about something you do want to see Kieran has be remastering shows and you can find them at FWA Files on YouTube.

This was really good. Not sure how long it ran, about 4 hours I'd think but it was such a fun deep-dive into WCW between GAB and NBR 2000. So many things that I'd forgotten happened or remembered the WrestleCrap "highlight" (like Viagra on a pole) but had forgotten the rest of the ingenious storytelling around it. Quote
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted February 1 Paid Members Posted February 1 Episode 1 - The Alternate Action Figure Podcast (Get involved, win prizes) We've all, and I mean ALL, imagined a dream world in which Hasbro and WWF never parted ways and carried on making the greatest action figure line of all time. Join Fox, Pablo & Joe (JPD Customs) as we debate, deliberate and decide on which 6 wrestlers should've made it in to a WWF Hasbro Series (Episode 1: Series 13 - early 1995). Prior to each episode, the 3 of us pick 6 wrestlers who were under contract with WWF from that specific point in time (episode 1 coveres Jan to June 1995), who we believe should've had a WWF Hasbro figure. We put a case forward for each of our selections and ultimately from those combined 18 names, we must agree on 6 to make the new series. The wrestler must have been under contract in that time frame and we have to consider an appropriate mould and mechanism. We welcome listeners to suggest who they think should've been made in Hasbro form, and we'll select one to feature on the show. That listener will win prizes for their contribution for our wrestling figure store sponsors, Rock & Roll Collectibles. Get your suggestions in before February 13th via YouTube comments on the video link below Head over to Instagram to engage with us @ GrappleArcade You'll also find articles with exclusive information in future issues of Inside The Ropes Magazine. The intro video is attached, and episode 1 is available via the YouTube link below (Spotify coming soon) https://youtu.be/30X__vQtuto?si=HDeMkijaYseI9kEB Cheers HASBRO.mp4 Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 1 Paid Members Posted February 1 Subbed. I’ll give the first episode a watch when I get chance. As for this bit… 5 minutes ago, Kaz Hayashi said: we debate, deliberate and decide on which 6 wrestlers should've made it in to a WWF Hasbro Series (Episode 1: Series 13 - early 1995). If we’re talking the potential orange card series that never saw the light of day, it’s obviously Diesel, ‘King Of Harts’ Owen, Jeff Jarrett, ‘Stars & Stripes’ Lex Luger, Hakushi and of course Mantaur. If we’re just talking about who should’ve had a Hasbro in general, across all the series, I’d have to think harder about that. But I’ll die on the hill that Bobby Heenan should’ve got one. Even if he was the only manager who got one. They should’ve made an exception for ‘The Brain’. A two-pack with Andre would've been perfection. Quote

Yeah it's essentially, 'assume the orange card came out as planned, so those wrestlers are pretty much out of bounds for the following/our 1st series'. But although that orange card should've realistically been an early 95 release, we're starting our 'series 13' in 1st half of 95 too, purely for our own timeline reasons. Episode 2 will be about 2nd half of 95 and so on. Cheers for checking it out man. Edited February 1 by Kaz Hayashi Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 8 Paid Members Posted February 8 This is the guy who did the podcast with Regal isn’t it? I hope this is referring to Harold Shipman… Because, I’ve got no idea who Mark Davis is, but someone who talks wrestling having a take like this about Dr Death Steve Williams can get straight in the bin. No wonder that Regal pod was a mess. Between Regal rambling and this gonk being clueless and unable to rein him in, it never stood a chance. Quote

He’s decent enough, but he’s missing something that makes him distinct in my opinion. Quote
Merzbow Posted February 8 Author Posted February 8 Imagine watching any Miracle Violence Connection match and thinking either guy was bad? Still the greatest tag-team name of all time, BTW. Make him watch this 4 four hours of Dr Death. Quote
Cannibal Man Posted February 8 Posted February 8 (edited) i'm usually all for differences of opinion but if you're going to take up space in the wrestling industry in even the smallest manner and say things like that you should ideally be exiled to Saint Helena with no wifi or dinner Edited February 8 by Cannibal Man Quote
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted February 8 Paid Members Posted February 8 He must’ve only seen Dr Deaths run in WWF to form that opinion. And even then I’d still take him over Mark Davis, injuries and all. 4 hours ago, Merzbow said: Make him watch this 4 four hours of Dr Death. This should be mandatory viewing anyway. Two of the absolute best. Quote
