RSS Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Damien and Desmond talk wrestling. A lot. They needed a reason to bullshit regularly. Okay, another reason to bullshit regularly. So, why not go through the pay-per-views of ECW, the little wrestling promotion that could? See, Desmond is a lapsed fan whose final days were in the Attitude Era, and Damien is the fount of knowledge. That's the framework. This episode discusses the beginnings of Extreme Championship Wrestling, and, in particular, its first true PPV: 1997's Barely Legal. There's lots of critical talk about the ECW stable. Except New Jack. The producers of this podcast respect and admire Mr. Jack in every way and mean no disrespect in any way.

Dread Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 If the Three Men and a Baby movie starred Tito Santana, Mike Awesome and Rick Rude, the baby would grow up to be Scotty the Body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Very excited to listen to this. Couple of my favourite hosts on a subject that's right in my wheelhouse. Plus now us grizzled veterans get to pass down all our wisdom about the wrestling podcasting game to you young whippersnappers.1. Make sure you know the house so Mike pays you properly.2. Protect the business at all times, people have to believe you're a real wrestling podcast host. If someone walks up to you in real life you're only allowed to answer them with an anecdote about Paul Heyman's booking or Terry Funk being a crazy old man.

Stavros Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 As promised, here's Raven as Scotty the Body. Oh good god. And I thought Brodus Clay didn't suit that gimmick. Raven doing it with like a Rick Rude edge is just surreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 The thing is, he actually has stolen my moves. I wish I was lying. I'm pretty sure I've done all of those things on the dance floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJRogers Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Okay, now taking bets on which show covering their August 1997 PPV will be posted first, you guys and Hardcore Heaven, or A Cure For The Common Podcast and SummerSlam!

SteveJRogers Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Actually a better race would be November's Survivor Series and November To Remember (oddly, according to New Blood Rising podcast, usually considered the WrestleMania or Starrcade of the promotion).

Aaron Robinson Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'm about half way through listening now. This show has been great so far. It's nice to hear a wrestling show that's actually, y'know, enthusiastic about what they're watching.Just in regards to Dick Togo; he "retired" a few years back, but has made a few comebacks since then. He opened a wrestling school in Vietnam and helped create their first wrestling promotion. He actually returned to the US last year and had a really fun match with Chris Hero (which is available for free on Floslam http://www.floslam.tv/video/1019677-evolve-74-chris-hero-vs-dick-togo#.WNsyA52Q9aQ) and I know he's announced for an upcoming PWG show.
