Very much enjoyed this. I grew up living near the ECW Arena and got to do production work there for 15 years so just like Meanie in this episode with his relation to the ECW Arena, I kind of know how it must feel for those who frequented the Dallas Sportatorium. The ECW Arena was our Sportatorium up here and I'm sad for those fans that it wasn't preserved, but I had a good time watching this & learning up on the history. Great job!

I tried uploading a video to Youtube to compliment this. It's an old vhs recording of world class (with commercials) with the Freebirds, King Parsons, Brian Adias and of course, the Von Erichs. It ends with the announcement that David died in Japan. That's why I chose it. I couldn't for the life of me get it uploaded. If anybody wants a copy, let me know and I'll see what I can do. @Meanie - I watched legends of extreme and heard you were looking for video of the bwo when they did a gangstaz impersonation with the shopping car full of weapons. I did a complete ECW rewatch during the quarantine and kept an eye out and didn't find it. My ecw rips are unedited tvrips, so I had some hope. Watching the WWE edited version of ECW is like watching pixilated Japanese porn. I mean, I guess it's better than nothing? I haven't done the fancams. They're tougher to marathon. There's a couple guys here with major collections. Maybe somebody here has it if you haven't a copy yet. Meanie needs a hosting role like a Conrad, Pauly or Jon. Somebody he has good chemistry with like the Al Snow stuff. Joey Styles would be my dream that will never happen. Raven got a lot of love the one time he was on here. I don't think he wants any part of a wrestling based podcast though. Tommy? I liked the show with Gertner.

Thank you for the kind words folks. I'm flattered the AFS crew asked me to do this project. It's a new challenge being on the host side. Especially flying solo.Im getting my "sea legs" and hope to grow with each episode. Again, thank you all for the vote of confidence!
