I've been doing a ton of PR work for COVID vaccines, and while it's good, it's A LOT, it was nice to just listen to come classic COTG when working on things tonight. Thanks guys!

Yay! Something to listen to! Going to listen to it tonight  Thanks for your support Lee ! You may be getting a shout out in an upcoming episode... Damn, that'd be awesome!
Also, as for holiday themed cards - My year end New Year's Eve show is a tournament to crown the Messiah of the Mat. I only do that in my GWF. I should do one for my Legends/Indy fed though!

I really enjoyed Nacho Berrera when I was growing up watching the AWA. I think it was mostly his name that made him a favorite, but his physique fit the name very well too. He also seemed like a nice guy who deserved better than getting beaten up on TV every week! I'll be sure to find a spot for him when the time comes.

Was able to catch the latest episode and this may be may favorite yet. Really enjoyed the breakdowns of each card and their mechanics as it made me get those original 2088 cards out and let them see light since probably sometime in the 90s.
Few calls outs I had completely forgotten about or unaware of.
1) I never noticed Creepers arm being slightly smaller, in my minds eye he was just a mangled looking creature and that both his arms were twisted withered things.
2) Really interesting discussion on Spike and how several thought they reminded him of Sting. That's interesting as I always envisioned him as a face painted Nikita Koloff partner to his Aethran brethren the Road Warriors, I mean Gladiators.
3) I'm really surprised nobody discussed Mesmer's art. As a kid I always had a hard time rationalizing why this master of the occult was always coddling a cabbage.
4)Really enjoyed the discussion on Adam Blast and his whole arc and where he went as a character. And the X-Patriot is a pretty cool name, but as one we much prefer to say the quicker X-Pat so it feels a little less formal, but now that I say that in the wrestling context is pretty close to X-Pac...
Also one last thing, now that I learned Stu is of Danish descent "Godnat amerika og god ferie"

Maybe this can be a future Question of The Week: "What do you think Mesmer was holding on his original card?" |

Another great episode. I had a ton of fun listening to the 2088 chat - it brought back many memories. As I mentioned when you had me on, Bishop Hell was an early favorite and standout of mine. He captured the IP strap early on, had an epic run, and then bested Star Warrior for the Galaxian to become the first double champ.
As for holiday cards, I have the Galactic Wars card every December in my GWF, Star Bash in July. I've done Halloween and New Year's shows before but not with the same consistency. Those are the mainstays - along with the Perennial, of course.
For my legends fed, currently, I just ran "Christmas at the Kiel" and plan on making that a mainstay. But that's about it, actually.
Nacho Berrera! Very cool addition. Always a big fan of the enhancement talent and was happy to hear about his reaction to being in the game.
Always a pleasure to listen to you, gents. Already looking forward to the next episode.
