The story was insane enough, but when it got to the bit about Vince bringing it up himself at a Congressional hearing.... :stare:

I may have misheard or assumed it, but it taking place in Greenwich is almost as crazy. At that time Vince was not that famous, new money is not respected in Greenwich and that kind of poo poo will get you blacklisted. Vince tries to act like he doesn't care about snoody upper society, but on some level you know he does.

Than hearing how the lawyers responded when Vince brought it up was even more crazy. Like they out right tried to play it down right to Vince's face and Vince still doubled down

I'm a stupid Twitch streamer
I still listen to The Raven Effect, and I think it's improved ever since he kicked Swinger out and brought Busby in. Busby is far more talkative than Swinger and they have way better chemistry. Also, Raven being tight with Billy Corgan sounds like potential for Raven to have the inside track about the whole NWA situation.

Thinking about adding the 6:05 Superpodcast, Lapsed Fan, and Between the Sheets to my podcast rotation. Is it fine to start from the beginning with these, or are the early ones of any of these unlistenable until a certain point?

Lapsed fan just skip around to whatever interests you but they are a very acquired taste. Being a Goon I'd think they're right up your alley. Start with the Wrestlemania journey like someone said above.

New BTS with Honky Tonk Man's IC title win, Riki Choshu's NJPW return, a kidnapping angle(!) involving rookie Shockmaster(!) in Memphis, Magnum TA's dead arm, the AWA/Tribune rumors that are oddly relevant right now, and MUCH more.

Well, he was there as a guest of the guy whose birthday it was, who as Vince's employee probably didn't put up a stink, but I dunno if that changes much.

BTS you can always try starting with the Best of that I put together to celebrate the first year (we'll be doing another one soon). It takes time to become the exact show it is now, but not really that much, and they're all pretty drat evergreen regardless.

6:05 has so many callbacks etc that there's definitely reason to listen in order even if the show has changed a lot. The running Hangman Bruce Pobanz stuff, for example, is considerably more interesting/entertaining if you've heard Brian reacting to me explaining who he is on an early show.

Lapsed Fan I never really got into as much as I like Jack as a person and podcaster.

When you are somewhere as someone's guest you generally act better, not worse knowing your actions can lead to them losing standing as well as yourself being banned.

This was great. There was also a fun bit on the UFC wrap up from Sunday around 22:15 in where Dave starts to say he cut promos on Sakuraba and then corrects himself to say he did interviews about him instead.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Dave could be ten times bigger than he is, simply based on knowledge, contacts and work ethic. This interview shined a light on how bush league he comes off sometimes.
