Just got done listening to last weeks show, really liked it dude.

Great intro with all the wrestlers plugging it, nice with the "What we've got here is failure to communicate" bit in there to.

The Brock Lesnar discussion was interesting to, I liked the Ron Waterman mentions, as both an MMA and wrestling fan it was good to listen to.

The Brian Kendrick, He's adorable and doesn't care 

Roddy Piper talking about his kids, he sounded great, and his kid's an MMA Fighter then, if he is talented fighting and can cut promo's like his dad he will = big money.

Sounds like he is great when giving autographs to.

Piper vs. Vince @ 'Mania.... Er, as much as I like Piper, no thanks.

Good to hear him talking about Judo Gene Lebell too, my old instructor always used to mention him to, knowing I'm a wrestling fan he brought up the name Roddy Piper a few times.

Its refreshing as well to have someone who isn't at all bitter to anyone, and doesn't hold grudges.  Well apart from his Mr. T lil beef.

Like he said about Flair and Hart move on, don't hold grudges, life is too short.

Good point with WCW, their viewers didn't move over when they went under, they just stopped watching for the most part.

His numbers were slightly out, WWF was doing better than 3.5 at the time, like he said though, it was his point that was important.

Last 5 weeks of the war were....

RAW 5.1 Nitro 2.3
RAW 4.5 Nitro 2.1
RAW 4.9 Nitro 2.1
RAW 4.6 Nitro 2.1
RAW 4.7 Nitro 3.0

Obviously Nitro's was inflated being the final show.

Looking at the numbers, true they were losing the war, but there big problem was the money they were forking out for celebs, talent etc. getting themselves into debt.  Ratings weren't bad enough for business to cease.
