Austin's podcast can be good, depending on the guest.
Josh Barnett was pretty great. |

Cornette's is the best when he has Kenny Bolin. Fucking hilarious episodes. He had Bryan Alvarez on last week and it was terrible though.
Piper's is atrocious. Love JR's. He has Vader on this week. Started off great, then Vader decided to blow himself for 45 minutes. |

Lol I love how a they probably super sold his athleticism and agility for a big man because he can do a cartwheel. Cartwheels are easy.

It's crazy how much love and hate wrestling. There was a time when I was a "die hard" fan who would remember all crazy stats and now, I find myself struggling to keep up with the current product. All I watch is NXT and RAW replays. I don't even care for Smackdown.

Sweet. Earlier today put in an application for WWE as a Social Media producer. I guess it would mean I tweet for the WWE during live events and travel with them and such.
Anybody know of good apartment sites in case I get the interview/job? |

lol WWE sure does love their revisionist history.
watched the Kliq documentary last night. They tried to proclaim that WCW was just a small southern organization before Hulk Hogan got there. insert your own massive eyeroll there. |

That was also what Eric Bischoff called it. Said something to the effect that everything that sounded southern had to go (basically why he fired JR's ass.) They traveled around but it was clearly a Southern company because of Atlanta being their HQ and the Carolinas with Jim Crockett Promotions.

Lwt's be honest, WCW wasn't even on the radar before Hogan arrived. No one knew who Flair, Sting, Race were. They tried to go north and failed the vast majority of the time they tried, with few exceptions.

"Not even in the radar. Nobody knew who Flair, Sting, and Race were." That's a bit of a stretch.

Yeah, there's a reason Flair didn't have to start from the bottom and work his way up the card when he came to WWF in 1991. Everyone who watched wrestling and a lot of people who didn't knew who Ric Flair was. He was already a legend.

hoping for world peace doesn't mean it is more likely to happen. don't get so upset about it, people have been telling you that you come off as a bit mentally challenged for years now.

To be fair a lot of that credit has to go to Bill Apter. Every wrestling fan I knew read Pro Wrestling Illustrated like it was the fucking Bible. That got Flair's name out there even if NWA wasn't big in a certain market. I don't remember watching WCW until 1993 but I knew who Ric Flair was before he came to the WWF in 1991.

He was billed as the "real worlds champion" because he had the belt. That's why he didn't start from the bottom. There's a reason WCW couldn't draw flies to shit in any city above the hillbilly line.

If Sting had held the title in the months before Flair left, he still would have come to WWE and instantly been in the title picture. It's Ric Flair. He's one of the most famous wrestlers of all time and it's not because of his time in WWE or his time in Hogan-era WCW.

At its height JCP was 6 owned regional promotions. That sort of gave an illusion that it was national. It was just six local pockets of operation. Once they tried to expand nationally they ran out of money fast and sold out to Turner. It was always considered southern regional because it started in the Mid-Atlantic and had southern announcers, stars, owners etc

Wcw and jcp wrestlers were very well known. Not at the level of hogan during his height but all the way up to New York they had a presence. And wrestling fans knew of both.
I can't speak to how far out west they had a good prescence but at least through the Midwest to Minneapolis and down to Texas. |

They weren't well known to the WWF audience. Different kind of wrestling fans. Been watching the WWF since 87 and I had no idea who Flair was.
