How does a gerbil conversation go 15 minutes?

They discussed the rumor of some Philly(?) newsman in 81 having a gerbil removed via emergency surgery. Touched on the Richard Gere rumor. Then Corny started to google the sex act and we learned how to use special tape on the claws and a wad of caulk in the mouth to minimize internal damage. Gerbils can not be declawed and live a full life.
Brian Last tried to move on, but then Jim said some sex kink term and Last was lured in...

My World with Jeff Jarrett is covering The Moondogs today.

@BruiserBrody moan growl

 

[BruiserBrody]

Corny finally got his Fri shows and the AEW ppv reviews out yesterday....
Jim bitched that Moxley and Punk both did big blade jobs on the same show. I kind of wanted Brian Last to push back on that since JCP was pretty notorious at times for everybody running the razor match after match on their shows.

Last did push back at Corny suggesting that Regal be the on air authority figure. Not because that angle is beyond over played, but because Regal just did that for years in NXT.

Last was so excited to watch this widely well regarded PPV that he shut it off at some point and went to bed.

It was a five hour show that ended with a long main event that wasn’t in doubt and involved Adam Cole. I assure you a good amount of people had already checked out by then or weren’t fully invested in the happening.

Listening to SuperBrawl 2 on Grillin JR.. It's kind of funny/sad that JR is still pro steroids and isn't sure if there is any proof that all the wrestler deaths can be tied to roids. "Maybe I'm wrong!"

I love hearing Foley talk so I'll give this a listen even though I'm sick of wrestling podcasts.

 

[Hawk 34]

Foley doing a straight interview style podcast would be good. Asking Foley to review new/old stuff where he’s never gonna be overly critical or have the mental capacity to accurately recall isn’t what we need.

 

[Valeyard]

Get Mick and Noelle to bullshit with random people. Easiest thing. She can keep him on track better than most, I'm sure.

Unless he gets the hot goth girl he was taking on tour with him when I saw him, then she can have the spot.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Mick's only what...5 or 6 years behind the trend? Probably longer

If everyone loves him, at least he can get his buddies on and shoot the shit? Between ECW/WCW/WWF/SMW/TNA he's got a lot of options for coworkers.

Talk is Jericho with Regal is out today. It's going to be a two parter! Today's about all of the injuries and illnesses he's had in past two decades and next week, there's going to be a more general discussion of his career.

Listening to SuperBrawl 2 on Grillin JR.. It's kind of funny/sad that JR is still pro steroids and isn't sure if there is any proof that all the wrestler deaths can be tied to roids. "Maybe I'm wrong!"

I think more wrestler deaths are more attributed to CTE and pain pills than roids themselves. I feel like JR has one of the more reasonable takes on steroids I've ever heard.

 

[BruiserBrody]

JR went a little red ass on Regal on this weeks WM 12 show. They were talking about Regal's return promo in AEW putting over Tony Schiavone and I guess JR wasn't given any love. JR said "I was the first person to interview Regal on WCW TV and I sent his ass to rehab 2 or 3 times to save his life." "I guess he and Tony had a special relationship though".

Thanks to Brian Last for not getting Corny's pod out at any consistent time again today. And where oh where is my beloved GFA Live?!?!
Turning to Bumps and Thumps to listen to some more Brunzell goodness.

83 Weeks taking a break from the 25 years ago this week rewatches to cover Sting in 1998

Mfw I decide to go against my better judgment and give 83 Weeks and Bischoff's cringey, barely prompted rants against Meltzer another chance.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Turning to Bumps and Thumps to listen to some more Brunzell goodness.

Brunzell says Ted Dibiase is one of the few guys he can't stand. Brunzell worked Ted in Omaha in the WWF. Since the AWA used to hit the town monthly, Brunzell wanted to shine a bit to play up to his long time fans. Dibiase ate him up and after 8 mins suddenly canceled the planned babyface shine and beat Brunzell 123. Brunzell nearly came to blows with him in the locker room.

Brunzell also says Heenan was functionally illiterate.

Apparently Vince banned WWF talent from going to Heenan's funeral after getting into a dispute with the widow.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

The Bobby being illiterate story doesn't seem too far fetched. Didn't he drop out of school when he was middle school aged?

 

[geniusMoment]

Mark Madden is leaving the Flair podcast. Who is replacing him? Connie. Wasn't busy enough I guess.

The WWE’s Michael Cole on ‘WrestleMania,’ His Career in News, and Great Announcers of the Past

Anyone pumped for an in-depth interview with Michael Cole?


Whaddya mean NO!?

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

He'd probably have some really cool stories if he was free to talk openly.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Medium-warm take: I feel like Cole is due for a Tony Schiavone-esque career reappraisal as '00s fans grow into adults. I don't think he's as good as Tony but I think he's a lot better than his reputation. He's definitely had his share of pockets of greatness and had potential to be an all time great if he was in a different environment.

 

[Tino Standard]

Ha, I was actually going to share this later. I’m about 90% through, and I’ve really enjoyed it. (Although to be fair, I’m a media nerd, so your mileage may vary.)

One interesting nugget: Cole finally admitted that he knows the finishes of 90% of the matches ahead of time, which goes against what he has said in the past. I’ve always thought the claim that he doesn’t know finishes is absurd, especially when he’s open about the fact his job is to narrate the story unfoldIng in the ring. How can you do that if you don’t know what story you’re supposed to be telling.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

The shows where Cole is away from Vince he's clearly way better as an announcer. The women's ppv is a really good example of that.

 

[Tino Standard]

Medium-warm take: I feel like Cole is due for a Tony Schiavone-esque career reappraisal as '00s fans grow into adults. I don't think he's as good as Tony but I think he's a lot better than his reputation. He's definitely had his share of pockets of greatness and had potential to be an all time great if he was in a different environment.

Listening to him describe his job, I’ll say this: It’s not what I want out of an announcer, but for the very specific way WWE wants him to do the job, he’s very good at it. If he were in a company that let him be more of a traditional play-by-play guy and less of a “sports entertainment announcer,” I think he’d do really well.

Bischoff is doing a second show. Focusing on the current product, the ratings, and bullshit like that. You can listen on Ad Free Shows… AT THE $29 DOLLAR LEVEL!

Jesus fucking Christ. I remember when Conrad tried Patreon the first time around, and each show had their own Paterson feed, and they started at $9. Seems like many shows cap their max level at around their starting price.

 

[Gert]

I can't imagine paying $29 for a series of podcasts. Certainly not for Bischoff to shit on the current product, especially AEW. And I say that as someone who listens to each episode of 83 Weeks.

Bonus art piece of the money mark included!!

 

[alkeiper]

Good lord. There are wrestlers putting out sex tapes and I wouldn’t pay that much*.

*that’s me. Pay your sexy content creators people.

 

[Youth N Asia]

I’m glad this kinda shit wasn’t available during my markiest days where I’d throw money at wrestling. They might have gotten me in the late 90’s.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Is nobody excited for Road Dogg being the newest member of the AFS Family?

 

[BruiserBrody]

Put down your cereal spoons before you read this in the AM:

Corny revealed on the Sunday pod that he was carrying the WWF title between tapings at one point in 1997 and it found it's way into his bedroom antics that night.

Can you imagine if Corny found out Russo had done this instead!?!?!?
