Table for 3

[Rev Ray]

I figured Table for 3 is at least a high profile enough show that it should be in the general network thread.

 

I watched the new Horsemen and "WWE Family" episodes.  I liked the family ep with Steamboat, Patterson and Hillbilly Jim.  They went through several Andre the Giant stories and about the time Pat took Steamboat and Youngblood to a NYC gay bar.  I think Matt McCarthy from We Watch Wrestling says that Hillbilly dresses like a strip club owner.

Funnily - I still think the New Day one was the best one and that was the 2nd one they showed (after rushing the one with Piper out after his death)

The King's Court and the Brass Ring ones are also must watches and I seem to remember the one with Miz, Truth and Axel being way better than I thought it was going to be.

[Pete]

New Day is probably my favorite so far but I dug the one with Ambrose/Owens/Cesaro just for the Scotty Vortekx driving story.

[The Green Meanie]

Big fan of Regal/Barrett/Sheamus, but it was way too short. New Day and Ambrose/Owens/Cesaro close seconds. For the most part the show is enjoyable, but tends to be shorter then I'd like.

[RIPPA]

I do like how much Madusa and Ivory put over Molly Holly

[sydneybrown]

The Miz one is where I turned the corner on him.  He just seemed like a much more down-to-Earth and less douchey guy than I thought.

The only one that kinda sucks is the Neville one since he decides to ruin it by munching on an apple the whole time just to screw with Bo Dallas.

[NikoBaltimore]

That might have ruined it, but Samoa Joe ripping on Neville's choice in buttoning the top button on his shirt was one of the more amusing moments from the show.

[Rev Ray]

If anyone has been on the fence, the Divas Legends is actually pretty fun.  Madusa is someone I'd really like for someone to get for a podcast because if you really think about it, her whole career is fascinating between being married to Eddie Gilbert, going through All Japan Women's, her run in WCW in the Dangerous Alliance, her WWF run, the WCW trash can angle and then the fact she DRIVES A FUCKING MONSTER TRUCK NOW.

[Infinit]

Wait...Eddie Gilbert married Medusa too?? Damn, dude did pretty well for himself with her and 80s Missy Hyatt.

[Rev Ray]

They were married in 91.  I seem to recall there's a story (I think on 605 pod) that Jeff Gaylord tried to jump Eddie and Madusa kicked his ass.

[AxB]

RVD used to change his gear every month and wound up getting 8 or 9 action figures a year. Ryback did the same thing and got like two action figures ever.

[RIPPA]

The Kliq one is infuriating just for the fact that all three of them are wearing sunglasses the entire time

[Rev Ray]

But you at least get to see the reflection of what they were eating...

 

This was kind of eh.  There are plenty of NWO interviews so no real new stuff covered.

I enjoyed it, but it seemed even shorter than most which surprised me considering the guys involved I figured they'd talk a bit more.

You have to assume a lot was, er... unsuitable to air.

[Michael Sweetser]

The Kliq have made careers out of acting like they're the coolest guys in the room, why stop now?

[GuerrillaMonsoon]

The Divas one is pretty bad, as I found Natalya to be just really intolerable. Constantly putting herself over, making everything about her and just casually undermining everyone else there.

[Brysynner]

Ya know the NXT 3 (Becky/Sasha/Charlotte), The Club, NXT Japan 3 (Itami/Asuka/Nakamura) should all have a Table for 3.

[JonnyLaw]

I'd go with Becky, Paige, and Emma as International Divas, and then Becky, Bayley, and Charlotte as the NXT 3.

[Michael Sweetser]

Becky/Emma/Natalya can all talk about the pink SuperGirls title for at least 20 minutes, I'm sure.

(Rebecca Knox was the first champion before losing it to Ivory; Ivory lost it in California to Nattie Neidhart*; Tenille Tayla eventually won it a few times, eventually losing it back to Nicole Matthews before she went to dev).

* by which I mean Ivory decided she wanted more money because of some terrible local TV** and refused to come back, eventually being coerced into giving back the title belt.  She dropped a fall somewhere in California on an indy show to Nattie Neidhart, and we called that the title change.  Nattie lost it immediately to Nicole
** by which I mean fuck you, KVOS

[RIPPA]

And Molly Holly officially becomes the first person to be on the show twice

[DreamBroken]

Fun episode this week, enjoyed all the stories they told. Candice is one of my all time favorite divas, loved her run as women's champ so it was great seeing her on.

[nofuture]

Candice's "first meet Trish" story shows that the Women's locker-room was just menacing to rookies as the Men's.

[Rev Ray]

The funny thing is I rabbit holed into a story about the wrestler's court that resulted from the gals who lost the Dodge ball game to the divas search contestants like monday.

That was a really great episode.

It's a damn shame that Molly was stuck in things like the "LOL SHE'S FAT" storyline while she was active. She should have been on the level of Trish and Lita, but I don't think she ever quite got there.
