RSS Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Kellen and Tom discuss the biggest match of the weekend, and it never aired on television or pay-per-view. After months of buildup, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels finally throw down backstage in the locker room, for real, before Raw goes live on air. Oh, and on the actual wrestling side of things, there's the King of the Ring, Steve Austin v Shawn Michaels, and The Nation of Domination implodes.

SteveJRogers Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Was this meant to go up today or Saturday? Since its on the main page, but not on the feed in my podcast catcher of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Episode 21 or 22 also gave me some trouble, download wise. I've checked the iTunes feeds and all is fine. When I get home from work, I will look into it further.That said, the RSS feed that creates these threads did have an error which I've corrected.

slothian Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) On my iTunes feed, it said "unknown release date" and was therefore listed below all the other episodes, rather than above them. Still downloaded fine. Edited November 17, 2016 by slothian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Ian is right, it's at the very bottom of the feed. Looking into it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 For some odd reasons, the RSS feed did not like the date of Wed, 16 November 2016. When I changed it to Fri, 18 November 2016, it popped into the top of the feed. You should all see it now. Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 While listening to this episode, I got to thinking: Who has had the most success off of a King of the Ring victory?From Wiki, the results are:EventDateCityVenueWinnerKing of the Ring (1985)July 8, 1985Foxborough, MassachusettsSullivan StadiumDon MuracoKing of the Ring (1986)July 14, 1986Harley RaceKing of the Ring (1987)September 4, 1987Providence, Rhode IslandProvidence Civic CenterRandy SavageKing of the Ring (1988)October 16, 1988Ted DiBiaseKing of the Ring (1989)October 14, 1989Tito SantanaKing of the Ring (1991)September 7, 1991Bret HartKing of the Ring (1993)June 13, 1993Dayton, OhioNutter CenterKing of the Ring (1994)June 19, 1994BaltimoreBaltimore ArenaOwen HartKing of the Ring (1995)June 25, 1995PhiladelphiaThe SpectrumMabelKing of the Ring (1996)June 23, 1996MilwaukeeMECCA ArenaStone Cold Steve AustinKing of the Ring (1997)June 8, 1997Providence, Rhode IslandProvidence Civic CenterTriple HKing of the Ring (1998)June 28, 1998PittsburghPittsburgh Civic ArenaKen ShamrockKing of the Ring (1999)June 27, 1999Greensboro, North CarolinaGreensboro ColiseumBilly GunnKing of the Ring (2000)June 25, 2000BostonFleet CenterKurt AngleKing of the Ring (2001)June 24, 2001East Rutherford, New JerseyContinental Airlines ArenaEdgeKing of the Ring (2002)June 23, 2002Columbus, OhioNationwide ArenaBrock LesnarKing of the Ring (2006)May 21, 2006Phoenix, Arizona[a 1]America West ArenaBooker TKing of the Ring (2008)April 21, 2008Greenville, South CarolinaBI-LO CenterWilliam RegalKing of the Ring (2010)November 29, 2010Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaWells Fargo CenterSheamusKing of the Ring (2015)April 28, 2015Moline, Illinois[a 2]iWireless CenterBad News BarrettOf those, I would say the only ones we should really look at are:Randy SavageBret HartSteve AustinTriple HEdgeKurt Angle and Brock Lesnar didn't need it; they would have soared to the moon regardless, and winning KOTR was more of a formality than anything else.

Stavros Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) My official list3. Booker T- Gave a platform for him to have a main event heel run and a well remembered character. Probably the best of the dumb actual king gimmicks.2. Stone Cold Steve Austin- First major accomplishment and a statement made. Little initial traction but without it who knows if he faces Bret at Survivor Series?1. Owen Hart- A key accomplishment that Owen held up to prove he was every bit as good as Bret. Back when the prestige was still high winning this was a big deal and solidified Owen as the dark mirror of Bret heading into Summerslam.Hon mentionsWilliam Regal was on track to be the best before he failed his test. Dude took the classic King gimmick to wonderful dark power crazed places.Kurt Angle- underrated amongst his other accolades. He actually got his first main event at Summerslam coming off this.

Guest Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) It's Austin by miles.Savage was made before then. Bret's first win was untelevised, and by the second he was already the guy. Edge got over from the Angle feud and then the Lita stuff.We know where Hunter's push came from.Edit: I'd agree mostly with Tom.

Stavros Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 The reason I put Austin at two was because Austin could have won the IC title or beat someone on PPV and cut the same promo, but for Owen it was specifically winning the kotr that was important, because his brother was the first (of the PPV winners anyway).

slothian Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'd echo that insofar that Owen made the most of his win whereas Austin would've been pushed regardless of the Curtain Call granting him his opportunity over HHH.On that note, the audio of HHH's interview genuinely annoyed me on the grounds that cutting insider promos is hugely self-serving and doesn't help the product in any way. And yet, 1997 WWF seems to verbally fellate Michaels wherever possible despite his overt lack of professionalism, whilst obviously HHH was...allowed to do this for the rest of his career & handed the reins of the company.I've no qualms about the actual ability of HBK/HHH, but fuck their self-serving power plays.

SteveJRogers Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) What is Heidenreich doing these days?'Rasslin' with a "Doink" in the parking lot of a Golden Corral!https://youtu.be/HWubQzo2Z-4 Edited November 19, 2016 by SteveJRogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) Oh god. Firstly, Doink makeup isn't hard. Of all the disappointing things about that doink I think that's the worst, the laziness if using a mask.Secondly, so I assume Jon is now working a gimmick where he's a blend of great IC champions each night. This week- What if Jeff Jarrett was the Mountie. Next week, what if The One Billy Gunn was the Honky Tonk man. Actually that might work.

Professor Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Heh. I just saw a sign for a local show that will feature 'Doink the Clown' vs. Santa Claus in the main event. Sadly, they couldn't get a Golden Corral parking lot. They will have to settle for the field behind the Walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
