Wrestling audio or podcasts

[Youth N Asia]

They all seem to use the WTF formula of podcasting. Don't they know everyone skips ahead to Maron's interviews too?

I quit listening to Jericho because of his dumb banter and I don't like his interview style. I skip ahead to Cornette & JR's interviews and only listen to Colt's podcast when there is a guest I am interested in. It may be because I am an Austin mark but his podcast is the only one I can listen to from beginning to end.

I'm pretty much the exact same in all things said here. Austin's banter is at least entertaining.

I really don't like JR's show. When Foley was on he read a question from a fan. The question was pretty much asking if Mick would have been able to get over without hardcore wrestling. Then JR smugly interjects "As if they know what OVER means." I just thought to myself, wow, what an asshole.

He also will not make the slightest joke, without explaining it after.

He mentioned the Totally Divas show having legs and followed it up with "Legs... Divas... See what I did there."

He did a Terry Funk impression and after said "There's a little Terry Funk" as if it weren't very obvious

And Foley made a joke about how The Undertake shouldn't ever tweet. To which JR followed up with "OMG. HIAC 98" Which was alright by itself, but he couldn't help himself and said to say "Folks that means Oh my god, hell in a cell 1998"

He also kept talking over Mick and DDP during their interviews


I tried listening to Piper's podcast. But he's really awkward.

I enjoyed the first couple of JR's shows because for whatever reason, he'd set up a commercial break and then it'd immediately go back to content without any commercials and I found that pretty funny. Since then I haven't listened to a single one.

Honestly every so often a show catches my attention but by & large the LAW stuff is all I listen to. I gave up on their review-an-impact, and I'm starting to pass on review-a-raw (why spend 1.5 hours listening to two exhausted guys recording a podcast at like midnight to talk about a show that probably sucked when I can read a recap in ~5 minutes) but they did a really good review of the WWE Scooby Doo movie on wednesday, King & the Fish usually has at least something interesting discussed (and Court, for all his faults, does a killer Dusty impression that cracks me up every time) and the Sunday LAW has Meltzer so at least 10-15 minutes of the show is really interesting, no matter how the rest of the show turns out.

Steve Corino follows his ROH commentary team partner Kevin Kelly with his own Place To Be Nation podcast:

I know neither show is an official ROH show (and ROH is only a little part of each, though Kelly has ROH talent on as guests, and no doubt Corino will as well), but I'm a bit surprised that ROH hasn't put links for either show on their website.

Austin and Jericho have been shilling Jon Hamm's new flick "Million Dollar Arm" like crazy these last few weeks. Jericho is pretty funny when he does it because you can tell he could care less about the movie while he insists on taking his wife and kids to see it.

It sounds like everyone got a talking to about pimping the sponsors EVEN MORE. On the latest Jericho, Ross, and Austin podcasts they all went into a routine about how they all pick their own sponsors and how important it is for the listeners to check them out... to keep the show free. Goddamn, I hate PodcastOne. Every other podcast I listen to manages to be free with half as many ads.

Which means Austin uses COUGAR LIFE for realz?

Austin's podcast I only enjoy when he has a guest on. His opening monologues for a couple weeks droned on for 10-15 minutes about LA traffic. Yeah, traffic sucks and everyone is a bad driver except you. I get it. I haven't tried Jericho or JR's podcasts. No real desire.

I appreciate Colt's podcasts even more now that I've listened to Austin's. His commercial break is short, his sponsors are people who listeners would have a genuine interest in. And his format is crisp. He keeps things moving and doesn't waste much time before getting to his interview. And often he'll have a guest I'm not familiar with, but it gets me interested by the end of the interview. It's the only podcast I won't skip an episode of.

 

[KingPK]

Jericho tends to talk over his guests too much and unless he knows the guest he's not that great an interviewer, something Austin is really good at.

 

[Angle-plex]

Austin is awful when solo.

 

[Youth N Asia]

Austin had a good three parter with Bischoff recently.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Goldberg just tweeted that he's getting his own podcast on PodcastOne soon. Terry Crews will be his first guest.

PCO sure has a thing for wrestlers.

 

[Mattdotcom]

One of these wrestlers should explain to them how bubbles burst

 

[Angle-plex]

At this rate, I will have a podcast on Podcast One before the end of September.

 

[Mattdotcom]

If I had a podcast I wouldn't know whether to shit or wind my watch.

 

[Angle-plex]

Save time save money

 

[Youth N Asia]

Don't forget to push the sponsors, Bill.

 

[ravman77]

Swig of beer for the non-selling man

 

[Precious Roy]

man, give these guys a break with the sponsor shilling. they're free damn podcasts. FREE. at least guys like Austin, Jericho, Rogan, Aukerman, Maron are entertaining when they shill these products/services and make me laugh during their pitches sometimes. I can't afford the clothes at Bonobos, I don't want to join the Dollar Shave Club, I don't "hate going to the post office" and I don't need Barkbox for my dawg.....but who gives a fuck. I don't. FREE AUDIO. NO OBLIGATION. suck it up.

 

[Youth N Asia]

I understand the podcasts need sponsors. But the Podcast One shows throw so many sponsors at you that I can barely retain any of them. And it just brings the shows to a halt. Austin has gotten alright with transitioning his sponsors in, but Ross is awful at it. Nerdist starts the show with a single sponsor and that's it. Carolla and Mohr have a few, but they weave them into the show pretty well. And I've actually used theirs before. I at least retain them with fewer reads and a little flow behind them.

 

[KingPK]

Jericho tried to make his ad break flow from his interview with Bryan with a fake "Ha ha, that's a good story!", but the audio quality changed so abruptly that you could tell it was recorded separately.

And they CONSTANTLY talk about how this costs money and the podcast is free so we need sponsors. I KNOW.

[Fartsauce]

My favourite podcast episode ever is Domino talking about his Nigerian nightmare on AOW.

 

[Youth N Asia]

Austin has said that Vader is coming in for a two parter. Looking forward to that.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Lot of interesting stuff last few days for pro wrestling podcasts, especially if you're one of the few dozen remaining TNA fans like myself. Billy Corgan on Jericho's podcast, Dixie Carter on Austin's, Samoa Joe on JR's (Samoa Joe thinks Punk will come out of retirement for one more match with him. OK, Joe), and the debut episode of Flair's podcast with Kurt Angle.


Flair & Angle on the same podcast. Wonder who will outcrazy the other!

Piper had Charles Wright (Godfather, Papa Shango) on this week. I'd realized that he's a guy I never hear from, so I listened and it was pretty good. Piper is an awkward podcast host, but he's growing on me.

Flair's in the game now with "WOOOO Nation"... and yeah, you hear the hell out of "WOOOOOO!"

 

[StGabe]

These Guys: Seriously, it's like every one of us with our best friend from Middle and High school going back and reviewing old shows in depth. Vince impressions and all:

http://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/the-lapsed-fan

Super long poidcasts, usually take 2 days of commute to get through, but damn if they aren't good fun.

My favorites are the 92 rumble, the epic 7+ hour Wrestlemania X-7, and Survivor Series 91

 

[Ed Wood Caulfield]

Still got lots of love for OSW Review. I'll get around to listening to the Attitude Era and New Generation podcasts eventually.

 

[Brocklock]

The Flair podcast is surprisingly good. I figured he'd just put himself over and/or ramble incoherently, but he's had some great and funny conversations with Bret, Steamboat, Foley, etc. His co-host is also a billion times better than the lady on Cornette's podcast and does a great job keeping Ric dialed in.

 

[Youth N Asia]

Yeah. I listened to the David Crockett episode on Flair's podcast today. His cohost does a very good job. Flair said he was a wrestling encyclopedia, and it sounds like it. Piper says the same thing about his cohost and that guy sucks.
