I just got into them. Anyone have episode recommendations? I've watched the dungeon of doom arc so far. They got me through the stress and worry about my cat being sick. Listening to them helped distract me so I'd really like some good episodes to get to If you’re just looking for individual episodes rather than entire arcs, some of my favorites would be: Heroes of Wrestling Wrestlemanias 7, 8, 9 and X7 King of the Ring 94 (aka: Shit on Art O’Donnell for 90 minutes.) TNA Lockdown 07 Survivor Series 93 Just about any of the Royal Rumbles And their non-wrestling stuff like Samurai Cop, The Room, Fatal Deviation, etc are pretty great too.

I'd had Capital Carnage '98 as that one is shockfull of stuff that became running gags (and it's the one where they reveal their boy stable, so there's also that).

Turns out Youtube was showing me completely random time stamps rather than accurate ones - no idea why it does that sometimes but not others - so it's premiering now and has been for awhile, though think it's nearly over so probably watch it when it is.

I never realized for a show that got cut due to them wanting to run long without telling companies they wasted alot of time to go long

Wonder what the next arc will be. Kind of hoping for a TNA one, maybe older WCW or something more around the Attitude Era.

They seem to hunt that they wanna be back in the Impact Zone. if they’re doing WWE again, then maybe the Invasion or Hollywood Rock.

why did a show with like 4 Nitro Girl dance routines need an overrun that badly?

I think this thread has gone on long enough without a break.
*cue Nitro Girls dance routine*

I love these guys, but sometimes they miss really obvious things.
Talking about the ref bump in the Steiners match like it's some random one, it's Lil' Naitch for God's sake.

They do miss quite a few things but still really enjoyable. Like how Judas Mesias was supposed to be James Mitchell's son but they made a point to say he wasn't. Still love the content

This was 99% the best episode of the show in a long time, which I have said numerous times about their last few episodes because they've kept getting better.
But also contained one of their most outrageously racist remarks - I meant to make this post immediately after watching the premier, but now I can't remember what it was and I'm not going to rewatch the entire episode to just deal with that again.
(No, I don't think they are 'racists'. They just want to have it both ways, so they make homophobic jokes and racist jokes and misogynist jokes and think that it's fine because they're not actually prejudiced, like white men tend to believe.)
A real shame, too, as this was a great one - it's not often Jay is actually unprepared for some shit that the other guys have seen that he hasn't, and the uniquely proportioned terribleness of this show made their reactions to it even funnier. OOC in particular was on top form this episode, like pointing out that Horace is the key to all of this. Honestly while I appreciate in-jokes and stuff, some of their episodes get into real 'smelling our own farts' territory to use V1's terminology, and this one was them just dunking on the wrestling show for the most part, which is what I want to see them do most.

I'm the same, can't remember what it was but there was a bit that made me go ".... really???" As you say, they'll go for a cheap joke for "banter" then decry poor treatment because that's "real" racism. Last big one that really stuck out was making the worst, 70s jokes about the Headshrinkers ceremonial outfits, think it was Summerslam 94.

You look at this card and it’s pretty stacked:
DDP v Goldberg Hogan v Warrior Bret v Sting Nash v Hall Steiner v Steiner
Did they really need all the other stuff? The unnecessary tag title match, the Nitro Girls, Hogan promo, 2 Disco Inferno matches?
Get rid of the tag title match, just do a Cruiserweight triple threat or Disco v Kidman, maybe cut Finlay v Alex Wright. Just poor planning on WCW’s part.
Thought the review was ok. The Buffer stuff was probably my highlight. “A lifetime fan of money!”. That and the top 10 wrestling sets.
