Yeah, I gave up on STWW a while ago. Bruce's BS hedging just in case he ever got back in Vince's good graces started pissing me off. Honestly, I think the problem is that Bruce just... agrees with Vince on too much of it. Think about it. He spent decades working for him, it kinda stands to reason they'd align on a lot of shit. So, the podcast people wanted with all of these salacious stories was just never going to exist because, if it weren't for Bruce making really stupid decisions, he'd still be happily working there, not because he's a yes man, but because he's gone full Vince native, anyway. It’s more than that. Vince has been there for Bruce when he was at his lowest, even when he had the heart attack and he was in tna, Vince still went to see him at the hospital and then called him. Bruce saw Vince as his older brother not as his boss, Vince unfortunately fostered that dynamic by getting so close to him and even inviting him to his kids graduations, Stephanie apparently even called him Uncle Bruce. That’s why he never really criticizes Vince, because he loves him.

I can't wait for them to start covering 84-88. After listening to this so far though I feel so sorry for doris. Listening to the first episode and she doesn’t comes out that good. JP and Jack found a very old interview from Doris in which she said something to the effect that she married Fritz because he was gonna be a rich man one day.

I love that when this episode starts and both Jack and JP are baffled why Fritz fired Saldi for being terrible then when they start reviewing the shows and their constantly pointing out how terrible he is and all the stupid stuff he would say and they both hate him by the end.
Also on the announcers mispronouncing the Mexican wrestlers names on the shows I was watching an 83 Show when Chavo Guerrero shows up and Bill Mercer suddenly starts using an accent and starts talking of his own love of tacos when he interviews him.Then after the segment he is stuck on the accent and calls Jimmy Garvin Jimmy Golvin instead.

Unrelated to the World Class casts(maybe just turned this into a catch all Lapsed Fan thread?), but I recently just listened to their Bruno tribute, and I can not get Lapsed Vince's "I win" speech from the end of it out of my head.
A big part of me feels that Real Vince would actually get a kick out of Lapsed Vince.

Doris was born in 1933 and married when she was 17. In 1950, marriage for financial security and not for romantic reasons was still a fairly big thing.

LOL Singings big on the podcast I don’t know if it’s still around but there was a Lapsed Jukebox site that collected the best theme song renditions aswell as Col. Robert Parker singing “Wonderful World”. In WCCW journey news I don’t know if there will be an episode this week as they’ve already put up JP‘s in-ring debut and a related podcast on Patreon.

I know Fritz is a monster based con countless examples but I feel bad that his wife only married him for money.

Something I had forgotten long ago until reading it yesterday - Fritz was trained by and given the name and nazi gimmick by...Stu Hart.

Helen & Stu were the standouts in last years Montreal Screwjob Journey.Helen hates everything while Stu makes noises they really did complete eachother.

I'm listening to their Super Clash III episodes, and they unfortunately perpetuate the myth that ESPN owns the "AWA Championship Wrestling" program. Here's a picture from 2013 showing ESPN show tapes in WWE's possession.

Here's a picture from 2013 showing ESPN show tapes in WWE's possession. I always thought that while WWE owns the AWA tape library ESPN can still air the shows because long after WWE purchased it and was using those shows on ondemand and in dvds ESPN was still airing those shows on ESPN Classic so it would be easy for Jack and JP to confuse that.
