davertfnewman Posted April 5 Posted April 5 You hear about how Cena was on the chopping block at one point - would a WWF with Warrior seen an injured Stone Cold left out in the cold? Regarding Warrior in that climate, I see it a bit like the second half of his 1992. He went from his silliest run with Papa Shango to one of his most compelling, where they were even seeming to reveal who the man behind the makeup was. Quote
Chico Torres Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Going all in on Ahmed, Sid and Warrior in early 1996 would be an unprecedented level of charisma and would have been so much better than Shawn and his awful “boyhood dream” and the turd of the build and iron man match at Wrestlemania. Quote

Also, when Vince reached out to Warrior again after Montreal in late 97, how would that have muddied things in 98? Obviously Austin was the guy by that point but you know Warrior was still gonna demand to steamroll him in 37 seconds. Baffles me where Vince even saw Warrior fitting in early Attitude Era WWF. Try to picture Warrior on the same roster as The Rock and knocking about on episodes of Raw featuring the Brawl For All? It’s mind boggling. Not that he’d have stuck around. Likely would’ve gone about as well as the 96 stint. He was humanized in '96 wasn't he? Smoking a cigar and all that. Deconstructing his character may have worked. Quote

Merzbow Posted April 8 Author Posted April 8 Haven't watched it but interesting seeing the comments, Russo-Bots suddenly falling in love with TK. Quote
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 8 Paid Members Posted April 8 Vince Russo thinks the business is exposed by "fans" being in press conferences. Vince Russo. Without a shred of irony. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted April 9 Members Posted April 9 OSW are covering early 90s WCW, including Capitol Carnage 90 and the Robocop bollocks. Excellent. Quote
Merzbow Posted April 10 Author Posted April 10 I've been getting these two lads recommended to me a bunch on Youtube, barely any followers but they're pretty good and cover some interesting little bits of wrestling lore. On the shorter side of things too, so no three hour long rambles. Quote
The British Bushwacker Posted May 8 Posted May 8 If you get a chance to listen to the latest Benno & Hamfleet In Your House covering One Night Only and Badd Blood buildup , you will be treated to my request for a 5 Star Match review at the end of the Pod, an absolute 5 star classic match in every way!

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted May 15 Paid Members Posted May 15 Getting close the end of New Gen (again) and one of the contributors on the Royal Rumble 1998 pod was @SuperBacon First time I've heard him mentioned. I was listening to Benno & Hamflett in line with the re-listen to get the different perspectives but New Gen just pisses on it from such a great height that I've given up. Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve listened to the New Gen Pod. I’m upto them covering the Owen Hart DVD set on my latest relisten. Wish they’d come back in some form but I’m fairly sure that Stuart has moved out of the country. Adam and Paul last I remember were still around though Quote

Cheers mate, I knew I had a suggestion read out but couldn't remember what episodes! Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted May 19 Paid Members Posted May 19 Mark Rocco's Tache is a podcast covering the wrestling on Screen Sport from 1985. It's a fun listen. Kieran and Andy do a great job, and unlike the Reslo TV they covered, so far no one is a murderer. Quote
FTR2020 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Hiya can someone recommend me some Wrestling podcasts please. I have listened to all of the classic reviews from Cultaholic. I have listened to all of WrestleMe episodes on Spotify without forking out for their Patreon. I would like it to be British people who do the podcast as I don't like American humour that much. I have watched a few OSW reviews on YouTube but I prefer to watch them then listen to them if that makes sense. I would appreciate any suggestions please. Quote
