Smackdown better go live
Fuck that. Less than an hour is way too short for any podcast imo. Don't feel pressured to pump out a 3 hour beast of a podcast, but don't feel pressured to keep it that short either. Length should depend on the show being reviewed. A podcast about a huge show like Wrestlemania 17 obviously deserves more time (and would probably generate a lot more discussion) than a random episode of Total Divas.
Other than that, I like all of those points. Covering stuff only on the Network is a smart idea. I'd definitely listen to a Wrassle Gafcast

Well I think the issue with say, Review-A-Wai, like, I like Damien Abraham but when he's on, the first 45 minutes are bullshit stories. When they normally do a show, it's 30 minutes of bullshit before even digging in.
I wager around an hour would be the sweet spot. We'll see though. I've got some ideers.

I'm probably going to start with WMX since Vince literally says "This is the start of the new generation."

So, this pretty much sums up what he thinks about everything, right?
"And thats the challenge, my friends, and foes-to get them to stop on your show. You dont care who they are, what their creed, religion, sex, or age-you just want those two eye balls that will add to your bottom line rating the next day-two eyeballs that might come back the next week to see what crazy stunt youre going to pull next. What do you think the Attitude Era was? Do you think people tuned it to see Sean Waltman and Sean Morley have a 10 star match? Nothey tuned it to see X-Pac and DX formally introduce Chynas breast implants to the world as the two newest members) of DX, and when and if Val Venus was actually going to get his privates hacked off!!! Chop off pee-pee freakin CLASSIC!!!"

Tonight's Total Divas episode has Ray J and Hasselhoff's son from Baywatch, lol.
CM Punk at the Tough Mudder event in Chicago, Illinois this past Saturday night.
He's not fat, but it's obvious he has no plans to return to the ring any time soon.

I just realized that if I want to be part of this hypothetical podcast, then I'd need to subscribe to the network.
The only hard part would be getting a schedule and sticking to it. Then make one person moderate the discussion, and you're more or less set.

2 people, 3 maximum. Anything more is a fucking mess, no matter the quality of people on. Shooting for two.
You're a brave man for wading through so much utter shit.
Rotating cast?

For something less than an hour, 2 or 3 people would work. I would suggest more people the longer you go, however. It would make for less dead air while you're thinking about something to talk about. Nobody is a professional here, so there's guaranteed to be a bunch of "hmmmms" and such.

I already run a cast of my own about rasslin, but we record on an irregular schedule (but at least once a month). They're fun, but keeping the body count down is a MUST.

Maybe we can do a test run
CM Punk at the Tough Mudder event in Chicago, Illinois this past Saturday night.
So who's Punk's hero? It's Chris Hero.
Hit the weights and get a clue. Big Sexy had him pegged three years ago but we didn't wanna heard him.
Disgraceful. Luckily we've got some top young talents coming through that will show up this fatass.

You do? Sheeit, I've followed you on twitter for a couple years and never caught it. What's the name? I'm curious~
I know what you really mean by "brave" and I agree -- I'm an idiot.
Seriously, though. It's been pretty fun overall. And I figured with the Network, if I didn't just watch everything chronologically, I'd end up spinning my wheels revisiting the same events over and over again every six months or whatever. Might as well just go for the gusto and watch everything, ya know? Then I know I haven't missed out on anything.
The question is, I guess, when do I stop? I haven't really figured that out yet...

This is what happens when you don't share your personal life! My point still stands, however. More people if you're going above an hour, but I wouldn't go above 4-5, max.

Terrifying.
I'm still waiting to hear from him about that... I was held down!
Well, you'll eventually catch up with more modern WWE. You could probably stop by 2003. You'll WANT to stop waaaaaaay before that.

Yeah there's no chance in hell I'd go past 3. Every added person is A: someone new and B: someone who can potentially talk over someone else and C: someone who can feel neglected because good conversation usually is either a two-way street or has 3 people. Anything more than that and you have issues with people telling who's who, noise, another spot where things can fail, really anything.
As fun as it would be to be on the WrassleGAF Slamboree Presented by Legitshook.com 8-person community roundtable, it wouldn't be fun to listen to imho.

Eva Marie has only had 6 weeks of training? Why isn't she just on NXT?

I barely, if ever discuss wrestling on my "real" twitter!
Here's the latest episode of my cast, recapping Extreme Rules: http://maineventsuperstars.blogspot.com/2014/05/main-event-superstars-050514.html
It's very light-hearted and we have a lot of fun with it, but I'm also getting better at keeping things on track.
She's like a real life version of Yukes animations.

I'd like to make it through WCW's demise, but that's going to be rough.
Sandbagging the heiress to the divas throne. Tired of backstage politics working their way to the ring. Respect this business and that squared circle, ladies.
Saturday Night was still pretty important into 1997. Top guys still appeared on it. Angles still carried over from Nitro. Once Thunder started, Saturday Night became full on random matches and was almost always better than Thunder even without any storylines. The last year or so was NXT with its own roster of Power Plant guys trying out various gimmicks before getting brought up to the main roster (all at once, basically) with its own storylines, its own title (TV Championship), and various old dudes coming in to work. It wasn't good, because these dudes were super super green, but it was more interesting than Thunder or Nitro.
I meant NXT as better week in week out than Smackdown but you're right that during the end of days it literally became an even greener NXT.
