58:44 Sean Val literally told you in the last question when you asked about how long you knew before getting the Intercontinental Title (he said earlier that day) and when you asked “did they tell you how long you’re going to hold the title?” Val told you no as they were writing shows week by week so they could be flexible depending on what WCW were doing on their shows, so there was no long time booking (might of been different for Austin and Rock). So the next bit comes up where Val loses the Intercontinental Title to Road Dogg you ask him the same question so Val repeats himself and says “as I just said we had to be flexible depending on what WCW were doing at the time”. Sean you’re always so good and I’m a little disappointed that you would let yourself down like that.
I really wish you guys would try fill some of the gaps just to finish off the Timeline series for those with OCD. Surely you can find somebody from WCW in 1999 to talk to so 1999 is covered. I mean, clearly Nash would be a good choice as he was Booker that year, i know he did 1997 though. Diamond Dallas Page would be good as 1999 was the year he finally became world champion. Even somebody like Dean Malenko who was there the whole year... I really miss this show. It used to teach me so much because you guys asked the right questions and Sean was quick enough and smart enough in knowing how to branch off when somebody gave an answer, to extract the most important minutia out of their answers, because even the finer details are just as important as the obvious ones. Podcasting completely screwed the wonderful art of KC's shoots.
2:31:17 Austin refused to drop the title to Triple H as it was originally meant to be a one on one match for the WWF Championship as Triple H won a tournament to become number one contender beating the Rock in the final. So because Austin refused to lose to Triple H they made it a triple threat match brought in Mankind as Austin had no problems dropping the title to him and then the following night on Raw Triple H had JR in the ring and said “Mankind you stole my title so if I don’t give me my title I’ll break JR’s arm” so Mankind said “I’ll give you a title match tonight as long as you don’t hurt JR” Triple H agreed then broke JR’s arm. And then Triple H won the match and WWF Championship as the main event of Raw. 2:40:04 Edit: see I said Austin didn’t want to put Triple H over and you had Shawn “I’ve lost my smile” Michaels bitching about Austin not wanting to put Triple H over, which is a bit hypocritical from Shawn Michaels. Maybe Austin should’ve just forfeited the title before the match saying he was injured or lost his smile so he didn’t have to put Triple H over
2:01:41 the only person to do man vs woman wrestling properly is Andy Kaufman as he was the only person who had shoot wrestling matches with women after picking a few women (3-5 women) at random (some were plants like either his or Bob’s girlfriend was one of the women) but Andy would wrestle one for a shoot then wrestle another. In fact Andy Kaufman was the only person to have a shoot wrestling match in front of a crowd at the Mid South Colosseum or on pro wrestling TV full stop man or woman
3:16:09 What a week for WWE! Sunday 3rd October Vince Russo & Ed Ferrara walk out on Vince McMahon with no notice. Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara fly to Atlanta while Vince McMahon is in England doing a show with WWE get a job with WCW and when Vince McMahon arrives back home for Raw he gets a call from Russo the day before Raw to tell him he and Ed won’t be at work tomorrow as they’ve taken a job with WCW, he didn’t have the balls to drive to Vince McMahon’s house or Titan Towers to tell him in person. Tuesday 5th October Droz breaks his neck in a botched powerbomb and is paralysed for up until he died 23/24yrs later. Wednesday 6th October WWE legend Gorilla Monsoon dies
54:42 Val Venus says he doesn’t watch American football 🏈 but he’s wearing a Rugby League shirt/jersey 🏉 I’ve never seen American football (don’t even know what month the Super Bowl is played in) and I’m not a fan of Rugby League or Rugby Union either all I know is that either League or Union has 1 or 2 more players in the team and there are a few different rules but I don’t know what. And I know that Rugby is more fast pasted than NFL/American football after watching some shoot interview and I can’t remember which wrestler said it but he said the average NFL play (?) is 16 or 18 seconds long. I watch the world’s most popular sport football/soccer and despite playing Rugby in secondary (high) school I still don’t know the rules

Terrible comment. New Jack was awesome. Early on Pre-SMW out in California (look it up), in SMW and most definitely his time in ECW. New Jack was definitely not a PC dude, but he wasnt a piece of shit that had no business in Wrestling. Also, New Jacks shoots are fantastic.

Has sean ever said why he quit doing these ?

Love RVD you definitely got your monies worth with him. He absolutely delivers
Yeah and val stole all the profit
Sean u should narrate the captions because i like to listen to audio only at work
Yep, but the format was different when he produced the video. More DVD stuff, the age of podcasts was still far away.
The clip of RVD after every Val Venus segment is great
ECW sounded like it was a cluster f*ck.
The most glorious cluster fuck ever!
Indeed it was😭
It was a cluster fuck when things were running smoothly
1:52:22 the reason undertaker wasn't on the Raw is Owen episode is he had flown to Canada to see Bret. Class act
These are the guys that took this crazy thing to the top...
Owen seemed to have been the king of ribs! He could have been a great actor or comedian if wrestling didn’t work out for him.
I love what Rob says near the end and I totally agree that ECW made wrestling cool again. He's got the right take.
Wrestling was never cool before ECW. ECW made wrestling cool.

Val Venus and RVD, two total no talent, no personality. Sums up why the late 90s were so shit in wrestling when these two were near the top.
Only watch these for WWF/WCW. ECW is outlaw mudshow compared to these.
I'm so happy for you.
Too much Cornette for you
I am curious why, for one of the big Attitude Era years, you picked freaking Val Venis lol.
If you can't figure out why Val Venis is there talking about the Attitude Era, you probably didn't watch the Attitude Era.
They were going to get stone cold or the rock but they were busy.
Val is really pushing his political campaign during this time.
