Thank you all for your patience this week. My schedule has been brutal, trying to tie up a lot of loose ends so I can leave town next week for a much needed vacation. I wouldn’t expect much disruption to the site while I’m away, however.
Pleased to announce our next regular feature column on Sheet Sandwich, which will be debuting tomorrow on the site. It’ll be a new, written column companion to our incredibly popular Talking Sheet podcast segment Rear View…
We’re calling it IN DEEP SHEET where we look back each week on Newsletters of yore.
The second edition of our podcast, Talking Sheet is available on the site, including a very popular Rear View look at the Wrestling Observer Newsletter from January of 1987 in what some listeners are already calling the spiritual successor to the now defunct OBSERVOR segments that Todd Martin used to do on his old F4Daily shows with Bryan Alvarez.
We have the second part of our new column Deep Insider is up on the site. This is the column where I document and report on my experiences while I continue my sojourn into the unsavory, questionable realm of Elite Membership at PWInsider.com.

Wednesday News Update
** Correction from yesterday’s update… F4Wonline did not renege on their plans to have JTG on the member’s only F4Daily following their interview with him on Wrestling Observer Live Tuesday. He originally agreed to do it, but then said he had another interview and backed out and the site just didn’t bother to run any update on this development online, and kept their members wondering until later on when Bryan addressed it on the Bryan & Vinny w/ Craig show later that night.
** Doc Young sent me a nastygram telling me it was “…reckless and irresponsible journalism…” not to give more thorough details, so I wanted to clarify that really the issue was more the site failing to be transparent with its paying members in a timely, visible manner on a show previously announced and promoted on the site, and the blame belongs totally to the guest according to Young.
