    I also find it crazy he stayed done. I mean, granted, he was a top guy making top guy money, but it's wrestling. It would shock me if Austin hasn't received at least one call about going to Saudi Arabia (or Jacksonville, for that matter).

    Even his podcast career was done before the main wrestling podcast wave. I’m amazed Onnit.com/Steve haven’t thrown megabucks at him to do another series.

  2. SD is still the best sports entertainment show on TV.  
     

    The Lesnar / Heyman / Roman stuff is developing well.  The Edge / Rollins stuff is generally all very good. Sasha and Becky were great.

    The whole run in the middle of the show, from Moss and Corbin’s lame dad joke act, to Boogs and Nakamura, Pat McAfee “no one cares about your stupid birthday Cole”, to Boogs playing the Street Profits entrance and then the excellent Profits / USO’s match, was amongst the most fun half hours of undercard I’ve ever seen on any show.  

     

  3. This is a pretty interesting conversation.  My sports viewing habits kind of mirror my wrestling viewing.

    Regular season I only really try to watch Florida and Jaguars (yes - I’m a sadist) games live, but I try to catch other matches if I can. I suppose that’s how I am presently with AEW which I’ll always try to watch live and the rest of the league is like the other promotions, where I’ll try to catch something if someone messages me saying “you see this game?” or catch up later if I hear good things.   

    The playoffs are like wrestlemania season though, in that I’ll watch mostly everything, whether it’s good for me or not.

    With soccer, basketball, hockey and most other sports I’m quite happy to catch clipped highlights, similar to how I first watched a lot of Puro.  

    Taking all that into account, I think I watch quite a lot of live televised sport but nowhere near the amount that I potentially could watch.  I’ve got other stuff to do!

    I've got Doudrop's song in my head. ☹️

    It councils me, it understands, it talks to me… sorry, I couldn’t read that in any other way than Ortons theme!

    Also “welcome back, welcome back” to Chucky.  Out of the wrestling game since 1998 but back and ready to go.  

     

  5. I was an avid WCW viewer at the time, right through to April 2000.  I distinctly remember the weird recap episode they had with Tony and Mark Madden around that time, (before the ‘reset’).  Just them sitting in an empty arena. It was super weird.  That’s burned in my mind as my departure point for Nitro.  

    I had my last summer before college beginning around then and never went back to watching Nitro regularly, I would catch Raw 99% of the time from then on.  I would read the 1wrestling Nitro write ups to see if there was anything worth trying to catch and think “yep, still sounds god awful’.

    As bad as RAW has been over the last couple of years it doesn’t come close to those Nitros in 2000-01.

  6. I’ve had the same story with all Conrad’s podcasts, listen for the first 3-4 months then give up when he he has to review a random Nitro or Raw episode.

    Ive ditched Tony, JR, Pritchard, Bischoff.  Currently sticking with Jarrett as it’s covering a lot of ground that isn’t Raw / Nitro.  Some insights into how TNA became so TNA-ish.  Obviously none of it was double J’s fault.

    I bought two collarless shirts in 1995 at Abercrombie in Towson Town Center and I thought I was the most stylish, sexiest motherfucker around.

    I had a brown plaid collarless shirt when I first went to college in 97. They were definitely a 90’s thing!

    I’m glad camera phones were not a thing back in the day!!!
