November 19 2006 Bryan and Vinny Show
Welcome to the longest show in the history of the Figure Four Empire, the TWO HOUR AND TEN MINUTE BRYAN & VINNY SUPERSHOW~! We’ve got thoughts on last night’s UFC 65 PPV with Admin Tony; my concession speech having been defeated by THE BOARD in the prediction game; thoughts on Georges St. Pierre vs. Matt Serra and Tim Sylvia vs. Brandon Vera; a quick chat with Granny about the Dancing with the Stars Finale; a look at the ECW TV show; the strengths and weaknesses of that show as compared to TNA; a VERY mixed review of the TNA two-hour prime time debut; the good, the bad and the ugly on that show and what TNA’s goal needs to be; how Joe vs. Angle needed to be booked and why shooting an angle was completely unnecessary; whether Abyss losing prior to Bound for Glory was that big a deal; ROH notes including thoughts on Chris Hero vs. Homicide and Bryan Danielson vs. Samoa Joe vs. KENTA; why ROH booking is so great and how it compares to TNA; the next generation of pro-wrestling; Smackdown this past Friday; why WWE can makes mistakes that TNA can’t afford to make; and TONS MORE! Thank God for musical interludes courtesy the World Famous Drop Board, otherwise my voice would be no more. And we’ll be back again with another members-only show later this evening following Bound For Glory!

November 16 2006 Figure Four Daily
We’re back today with an experimental Figure Four Daily — ON THE ROAD~! We traveled to Ohio Valley West (Buddy’s house) for a sit-down interview with both him and Moondog Ed Moretti. The sound quality seems acceptable to me so we might try more of these with different folks in the future. Both guys discuss breaking into the business, meeting each other and playing ribs, the San Francisco territory (which Ed and Dave Meltzer both watched growing up), bad payoff guys (including a very big surprise), good payoff guys, the annual Cow Palace battle royal, wrestling training, Tiger Conway Sr. (Ed knew him and heard about his passing on this show), Cauliflower Alley, and tons more. An hour of fun and excitement!
