Sunday, October 26th, 2014. A great main event in Ambrose vs. Rollins ends with an unexpected finish that some loved and some… not so much.   In this episode, me and Pegasus review the entire Hell In A Cell card, looking at: Match quality Crowd reaction Storyline setups and payoffs The finish of Ambrose vs. Rollins in detail And yes yes, comedy ensues with appearances by Kayfabe News and The Rough House Podcast Oh, and the opening will completely transform your podcast experience:       Note: Pegasus and I mention this earlier article I wrote reviewing Hell In A Cell, inconclusive finishes in particular.   Credits   Co-host: Pegasus Digital Consultant: Bruno Brito Voice Over: bigmouth Optimus Prime: Jon Bailey Audio Mixing: DJ Bammer Podcast Cover Photography: Maria S.

In the second part of our podcast pilot, it’s all about the questions you sent in.   Once again, we got into as much detail as possible, so a few of your questions were answered on a bonus file.       Here are some of the subjects me and my buddy Pegasus cover: The logic behind themed PPVs like Hell In A Cell and TLC Which wrestlers had the hardest path to success Which former Shield member will have the best career The importance of the Intercontinental and US Titles The possible return of Kurt Angle How it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get heel reactions And, yes, there are a few comedy spots in there, courtesy of Kayfabe News and The Rough House Podcast As always, let us know what you thought!   As for the “minor announcement” (which I’ve already spoiled via Heel Trailer and Facebook), here’s the link if you feel like taking a look.   And, as promised, the extra questions:     Credits   Co-host: Pegasus Digital Consultant: Bruno Brito Voice Over: bigmouth Audio Mixing: DJ Bammer Questions: You, The Heel Podcast Cover Photography: Maria S.

NOTE: iTunes and I are in a bit of a feud. The iTunes Store shows the podcast without episode 1 or cover art, but it’s there as soon as you subscribe. Waiting for them to help out for a few days now.   Let’s see where this takes us, shall we?   This is the pilot version of The Heelbook Podcast.     It’s an experiment, a test to help me figure out if a podcast is something worth adding to Heelbook.   Your thoughts on it will be pivotal in helping me decide where we go from here. (Think of me as WWE in reverse.)   On this episode, 2 indy bookers – me and my buddy Pegasus – do a serious, real-time booking session and build the entire Wrestlemania 31 card for you, as you listen.       Again: for the iTunes guy or gal, the podcast will appear “empty” but if you subscribe to the podcast, episode 1 will be there for you. Working on it, waiting for feedback from Apple.   We go over: every single match (and every title, if you can believe that) why the match makes sense for Wrestlemania who goes over and there are some comedy moments in there as well, courtesy of Kayfabe News and The Rough House Podcast   And don’t be shy. Pull no punches and tell me what you think!   By the way, the Q&A originally scheduled for this episode has gone over to the next episode. We got into a lot of stuff to make the booking session as detailed as possible for you, so it just made sense to put the Q&A on a different episode.   Credits Co-host: Pegasus Digital Consultant: Bruno Brito Voice Over: bigmouth Audio Mixer: DJ Bammer Podcast Cover Photography: Maria S.
