Chad Olson, Cory Olson or TDalton where does BUST UP fit in the grand scheme of things? I know he's not NGO, but Randy drew him and he was released at the 2000 Con, same as Third Fall.

So far I have listened to about the first 45 minutes of this episode. Because they predated my 2004 return to the game, I don't have anything to say regarding the nGo cards other than I have always heard great reviews for them. I did not see the fan tackle Seth Rollins on RAW this past Monday because I was at the Impact tapings at Sam's Town here in Las Vegas but ironically it was actually at Sam's Town back at ROH's 16th Anniversary PPV in 2016 when I was sitting in the last seat/end of the aisle in one of the front rows and Cody had just defeated Matt Taven. As Cody was walking up the ramp, a fan suddenly brushed past me and jumped the guardrail to go after Cody. However, security caught him and dragged him out before he could make contact with Cody- who laughed at his attempted attacker as he was being hauled off- and I am not sure if the incident was even mentioned by the commentators. I believe whlineup was at that show but sitting in a different section across the ring from me. About Survivor Series, I saw the replay of Survivor Series on Monday when I got back from PWG. The opening match between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair was great, RK-Bro vs Usos was very good (I am a fan of RK-Bro,) and Big E vs Roman Reigns was an excellent main event. But the other matches were forgettable IMO and I agree that all of these RAW vs Smackdown matches (including the 3 matches that I said I liked) need more stipulations other than "brand supremacy." In my feds, I have Survivor Series PPVs (in LOW I call it the Survivor Series and in my COTG feds I call them the Elimination Games and I am actually about to finish my Elimination Games 2137 PPV tonight in my current COTG fed thread) in which all the matches are elimination matches but with the stipulation that all of the match survivors earn future title shots unless the champion they want to challenge also was a survivor in one of these matches then they first have to defeat that challenger in a non-title match to get that title shot. This has led to wrestlers receiving title opportunities and winning titles that might otherwise not have been pushed in my various feds so there is alot on the line- both for current champions and potential challengers- and it makes the matches much more intriguing. I did not see Full Gear. At the time I was driving back from California during my 4 day Veteran's Day holiday break and I was planning on ordering the replay that night but accidentally first saw some spoilers on the Internet which led me to not dropping the $50 since I already knew the match results. Cool stories about 2 Cold Scorpio and Thunderbolt Patterson. I met 2 Cold Scorpio at a GCW show back in August here in Las Vegas and he signed my copy of this LOW color card (as did Ricky Morton who was at the table next to him during the Preshow meet and greet.) I again don't know much the nGo but I look forward to listening to the rest of this podcast as you guys do an outstanding job! |

Finished the episode this afternoon. Fun walk down memory lane and all those great bootlegs. I didn’t/don’t have a bootleg fed but certainly collect them.

Thanks Yes, those were official releases by Tom, not any of us. I think Tom joked about doing a Curly card the year before at Galacticon, as he was/is a Three Stooges fan. And then he actually made Bust Up.  |

Interesting discussion. I don't think I ever purchased a full ngo set, but I was there for the skits and the Mr. Hoffa reveal. I remember having Carnage and Slaughterhouse and a few of the other characters too.
