Before I give my thoughts, something I noticed was that just wanted to send a congrats to everybody at the something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard along with Bruce and Conrad cause they just crossed the 50K subscriber mark before they dropped this episode tonight. Survivor Series 1988 was an interesting pay per view. It is amazing that the first 2 years were at the Richfield Coliseum. I wonder what the difference was cause in 1987 they attracted or got 21,500 fans. 1988 got 13,500 fans. It made for some unique camera angles. I think there was some pressure by Vince to top the first Survivor Series. 4 matches and 50 superstars wasn't much but I bet it was a long day for Bruce and the production. For Los Conquistators Jose Estrada was Uno and Jose Luis Rivera was Dos. Nice talk about Johnny Ruiz but those were the guys who were Los Conquistadors. Jesse was more of a unique person with his costumes during the Survivor Series pay per view.
It was a good idea with the timer and taking the pics away with each elimination but the synch STILL isn't right. Things are good until Confat says to make the timer 22:48 which isn't right with what's happening.. then everything happens on-screen before confat and Bruce react to it.
Pretty damn enjoyable as usual. Ahmed Johnson episode? Not enough meat on the bone?
You are totally right, Conrad – basically you HAVE been in the right places at the right times. But you have also done consistently good work. You read a lot more Observer-stuff than most – so you obviously do the work! Keep it up!
Loved EVERY second of this! Hope you do more of these watchalongs!
How the hell can anyone thumb this down?
