Happy Saturday! Hang here to talk about whatever you got on your mind this weekend!
Also… remember tomorrow night we are doing a group live watch of a SummerSlam, based on the voting results of this poll.
And feel free to leave feedback below for this Monday’s Place to Be Podcast as we review the Big Event!
I am old as fuck… can’t bounce back from those late nights quite as easily these days…
That’s age, my brotha.
Starting my fantasy football prep… anyone really high on any players yet?
I didn’t sleep all that good if it helps.
After starting my AE chrono watch nearly two years ago, finally reached the end of the MNW…got on the final Nitro.
Tony’s voice noticeably cracks a few times throughout.
Yeah you could tell he knew that may be it for him in the business too. Are you going to continue forward?
Oh yeah…rest of 01 awaits. I’m just plowing forward in general now.
It’s been a heck of a fun journey back through time reliving not just the golden age of wrestling but also my childhood.
Did you do ECW too?
Nah would’ve been too much lol. Still planning to do ECW at some point.
It’s been WWF only. Just couldn’t do WCW knowing I’d eventually have to sit through 2000 Nitros and be fighting the urge to claw my eyes out.
Can tell on this last Nitro that the talent wanted to go out with a bang and also use the show as an audition for Vince in hoping they’d get picked up eventually.
I’ve watched a couple of those 2000 Nitros and wanted to do the same.
Yeah I was watching the 2000 WCW stuff a while back just to get a laugh and see if I could make it through it all, I got through August and had to take a break before I go back and watch the rest.
I do enjoy listening Brother Nate Milton and Brian Mann’s podcast Keeping it 2000 where they go through all the 2000 Nitros they make it much more enjoyable to relive those shows. They sacrifice their sanity for our entertainment.
I think doing WWF, WCW and ECW TV and PPV from 1993-2001 would be fun. Im already in 97 WCW and the VVR stuff makes it impossible for me, but would be neat to watch the battle week to week.
I consider that the Ultimate version of a chrono watch…. actually might do that one day but that would be no where near anytime soon. Unless I impulsively change my mind which is always possible lol
That is why I came up with the Adventure concept, it intrigues me to watch it all in order. Just didn’t have the time and then when they added more to the older years it was too much to reset and handle.
I’m rewatching all three all the way through currently. I’m in 1997 now.
I’d like to try and go through a single year one of these days. I imagine it’s pretty tough and takes a while to get through.
One year might actually take you a whole year if you do it on a semi weekly schedule or take breaks.
TV and PPV I imagine it would.
Oh yeah. I missed out on all the PPVs after WM 2000 bc of cable going digital and my family being forced to ditch the infamous black box. This watch allows me to see the payoffs of the weekly tv that I didn’t get to see.
I’ve been doing just ppvs since the new year. Go e through 11 years. Some are fun. Right now I’m trudging through 2009. It’s rough.
Good thing….lot of those 09 Raws are bad. Randomly had on a Nov 09 one a while back and it started with an awful HHH promo that I think went 25 min.
The endless combo of Cena/HHH/Orton is painful. None of them have any chemistry.
Smackdown and even ECW were better in that period.
Yeah there is a reason we went back to 1985 on the show…
I missed a few of the PPVs until about 2000 with the Royal Rumble and then got them regularly after that.
“How bout Big Papa Pump up?”
**Yay**
I still can’t believe they stretched Tatanka/Luger all the way to the Sunday Night Slam and didn’t just blow it off at WrestleMania.
The new more realistic Alvin & The Chipmunks are jarring to look at.
Dave Seville is still a giant creep and pussy though.
Don’t try and find something better than this today. Because you won’t.

New Day vs. Usos added to SummerSlam
Reigns vs Strowman in a Last Man Standing match on Raw this Monday.
Just got this pimp jacket at Kohl’s for $23… pretty pumped https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/47b5459db6e40941424162fc770ea52a230843a89a54509dd74d081d9e193e00.jpg
Just got home from kohls always like to see all my savings on the receipt and walk out of there like they are suckers that just got owned.
Looks more and more like Bayley is out of Summerslam.
So Sasha vs Alexa?
Yeah it most likely will be, but I wish instead they would #GiveEmmaAChance or #GiveMickieAChance and put one of them in the match as they are being so misused on Raw. What is the point in even bringing Mickie back if they are never going to use her and when they do it’s to get squashed by Nia.
In other news Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss now is the mother of a pet teacup pig named Larry Steve and I hope he becomes more popular than 2Pawz the cat lol.
Amazon is selling toilet paper printed with Trump’s tweets.
Big G1 upset tonight but I won’t spoil.
