Our crew discuss the decline of physical media for WWE and wrestling in general, and whether there is still a market for DVDs, VHS tapes, etc. Reese and some of the guests don't have extensive wrestling media collections.

880 Champion Amateur Wrestler Reese Hayes talks about his background in filmmaking, including a web series he makes called "Cobblestoned" that can be found on YouTube under "Dashing Agent". He discusses how making videos and movies gets him interested in the production side of wrestling. https://www.youtube.com/@reesewho

Rob shares details about his experience working on the crew for the recent AEW show Collision in Erie, PA. He helps run cables and work with the camera crew. They talk about the interactions between talent and crew at AEW compared to WWE, and how Rob knows many of the wrestlers backstage from the indie scene.

There is discussion about camera work in wrestling, including how to properly film alongside the action in the ring and move out of the way when needed. Reese and Rob can relate that to their own experiences filming matches.

The guests share some recent lessons learned in wrestling: it's very difficult but rewarding (Reese); production people in wrestling often know and work with each other frequently across companies (Rob); wrestling references are everywhere, even in video games (Joe).

Krause returns to the big purple couch this week to show off some of his new toys. He is, of course, joined by our in-house gadget hounds Chilla, Katie, and Sorg. This week’s topics include:

Katie is fresh off the Millvale Music Festival and sharing some quick thoughts about the weekend.
Thanks to PCTV for picking up Awesome Chat as part of their programming!
Krause has an Awesome Thing of the Week – LIVE from McKees Rocks with his Nest doorbell.
Katie is sharing the Nintendo Labo mash-up with Jimmy Fallon and Ariana Grande as her Awesome Thing of the Week.
Microsoft released some information about Surface Hub 2, and it made Chilla’s Awesome Thing of the Week.
Sorg’s Awesome Thing of the Week is just down the block from the studio. He got a sweet tour of the Tolin FX space when he stopped by.
Speaking of local, Sorg is sharing Honeycomb Credit as an option for crowdsource funding for businesses.
Pittsburgh has an eSports team, and we’re learning more about the gaming space because of it.
Boston Dynamics’ creepy robot dog is getting creepier – and smarter.
Ryan Reynolds dressed as a unicorn is almost as amazing as him as Deadpool.
Snapchat is getting started with ads that you can’t skip.
Smellavision is a step closer – with the Sensor Wake alarm clock.
Krause is on the verge of cordcutting – and we’re going to talk him over the ledge!
To DVR, or not to DVR, that is the true question on this week’s podcast.
The show may have turned into an intervention to address Katie’s VHS lifestyle.
