nobody should be listening to comedy recap podcasts for absolute historical accuracy, that's what eighteen hour episodes of between the sheets are for! Kefin largely operates off his own recollection and I don't think he makes any bones about it. I listen because they're funny, not because they're right.

I lost interest when Kefin told Jo about Steve Austin for an entire podcast without telling her he beat his wife

Ok so those who said OSW is bad do they like edit out the bad stuff from the youtube videos because that's where I'm watching them and so far I've only come across them making fun of cartoon era stereotypes and pointing out how bad they are and the most misogynistic thing they've said is saying Miss Elizabeth and Sensational Sherri "Look incredible"

I'm not saying the people saying they're bad are wrong I just haven't come across it yet unless my threshold for being offended is just higher or whatever

Their main episodes aren't too bad, just you might find them laughing at a racist stereotype.... by being more racist, and being generally reasonably dismissive of the women.

Like they're racist and sexist in the low key way, they're not yelling hate speech, but it's media where people of minority groups don't always feel good watching.

This was my experience watching them until I came to an episode where they spotted a female ring attendant who’d sued the company for sexual assault. “Who’d want to rape her?” one of them asked. Never been able to watch them since.

That and them giggling like 9th graders about Nogger bars each episode. God save us if they ever learn about “niggardly”.

Wow, Bix. First K.Rool, then Steve and now SEPHIROTH? Your dream game is real!
It was sent to voters the other day.

---

t's time for the 2019 Hall of Fame elections.

This ballot is being sent out to major wrestling stars, past and present, major management figures in the industry, writers and historians.

If you are getting this, you are being asked your opinion on who should be inducted into this year's Hall of Fame class. The criteria for the Hall of Fame is a combination of drawing power, being a great in-ring performer or excelling in ones field in pro wrestling, as well as having historical significance in a positive manner. A candidate should either have something to offer in all three categories, or be someone so outstanding in one or two of those categories that they deserve inclusion.

The names listed below are those under consideration for this year. To be eligible, a performer must have reached their 35th birthday and completed ten years since their debut as a full-time performer, or be someone who has been a full-time pro wrestler for at least 15 years.

Longevity should be a prime consideration rather than a hot two or three year run, unless someone is so significant as a trend-setter or a historical figure in the business, or valuable to the industry, that they need to be included. However, just longevity without being either a long-term main eventer, a top draw and/or a top caliber in-ring performer should be seen as relatively meaningless.

The election is broken down into a number of categories. You should check each category for wrestlers that you feel you are familiar enough with based on geography that you've either traveled or are familiar with, and based on the time you have followed pro wrestling. You do not have to vote for a wrestler in every category you've checked.

The ballot is also broken down to wrestlers and those who are not pro wrestlers but have been valuable parts of the industry.

The maximum number of wrestlers that you can vote for all the categories is ten. You can pick as few as zero if you don't believe anyone on this list deserves inclusion.

For wrestling executives, managers, announcers and other outside the ring performers, you can vote for them and they are not counted against the ten. You can vote for as many as five of them.

All responses are confidential. There is nothing to worry about politically about any involvement in this process. Your selections will not be revealed unless you choose to do so yourself.

Anyone who receives mention on 60% of the ballots from the geographical region and time frame (broken down as Continental United States & Canada; Mexico; Japan; and the rest of the world) will be added to the Hall of Fame in the class of 2019.

If you are unfamiliar with any of the candidates due to geography of having never seen them, that is fine. Ballots are sent to many people from all over the world and from different wrestling cultures so that everyone has as fair a shot at possible.

The breakdown for modern and historical performers is 30 years ago, or 1989. So if the last year the person was a headliner, or was a key figure in the industry, was prior to 1989, they would be in the historical class.

All performers who receive mention on 10% to 59.9% of the ballots from their geographical region or era will remain on the ballot for consideration next year. All those who receive less than 10% of the vote will be dropped from next year's ballot. They can return in two years based on if there is significant feedback from voters who say they will vote for them. This is mostly for wrestlers who are still active who may improve their career legacy, but can be for retired wrestlers if voters believe they should be put on or returned to the ballot.

In addition, in following the lead of the baseball Hall of Fame, which is the model here, we have a 15-year-rule. The following candidates have been on the ballot since 2005. In baseball, this would be their last year of eligibility. Here, if they don't get at least 50% of the votes in this year's election they will be removed from the ballot. If they are modern candidates, they can be brought back in the historical performers era in two years if it is more than 30 years since their career as a Hall Fame level performer is up:

The following candidates will be dropped from next year's ballot unless they are elected in or garner 50% of the vote:

Jun Akiyama
Don Owen
Villano III

Please return this ballot by October 20th. You can e-mail the ballot back to dave@wrestlingobserver.com or fax it to 408-244-3402 or mail (please do so by October 15th) to Wrestling Observer, P.O. Box 1228, Campbell, CA 95009-1228.

Dropped another Rudos Podcast episode. Nuclear Potato talks about going to the live shows during All Out weekend including having a bleeding G Raver sprint past him to the back during 2 Cups Stuffed. He's also still ducking Procrastinator's Mask vs. Hair apuestas challenge for Wrestle Kingdom. Plus the Such Good poo poo award for the bad three letter company and Rudo Move of the week!
