Wrestling audio or podcasts

[Jingus]

He's mentioned Benoit several times on there. And mentioned him a bunch in the autobiographies. He's not Cripplerphobic when it comes to talking about the hard topics.

 

[Baby Shoes]

I know he's brought him up before but I am just surprised he would let someone sit around talking conspiracy theories. How did he react to that?

 

[Brocklock]

Oooh boy, Hogan's on Flair's podcast. Get ready for the bs.

 

[Youth N Asia]

I'm hating JR's podcast more and more. I only listen because he gets good guests that I'm not seeing anywhere else.

He does the same 4 shitty impressions multiple times in every episode. Then takes a moment to let you know just which impression he did. He thinks his listeners who've downloaded his podcast just don't get how the internet works when it comes to subscribing and that using his amazon banner doesn't cost you any more, folks. No hidden charges.

Hogan on Flair's podcast was great for all the reasons you'd expect.

He talked about how much he looked forward to working with Bret Hart in WCW but then Bret "fell off his bike and had a stroke".... Which happened a year after WCW was sold.

 

[BorneAgain]

We need the ultimate combined bullshit Hulk/Bret story with the former saying Hogan/Bret was going to run at the Silverdome as the main event for Starrcade 2001 and Bret adding how when it didn't happen, half the locker room walked up to him with tears in their eyes about such a great match being canceled.

Hogan has such good stories. It's a shame you never know how many of them are true cause he's such a bullshitter.

As soon as they started talking about Harley I was waiting to see if Ric was going to let me know if he was in poor health. He didn't let me down

 

[Cyrus]

Yeah I don't get that. He does that to others not just Harley.

Its like its Flair's way of stroking his own ego over the fact that he's in relatively good health while others aren't. Its definitely signs of a deep insecurity.

 

[Youth N Asia]

Oh, I know he does it to others. This thread it littered with me talking about Ric going all gossip Gerty on wrestlers in poor health

 

[Tino Standard]

I haven't listened to it yet, but Richard Deitsch, the sports media industry reporter for SI, has Heyman on his latest episode and people whose opinions I trust say it's good.

 

[BreakingMad]

Finally heard Hogan on Flairs. THe latest controversy isn't touched on at all, which is a waste.

Elsewhere, being a Hogan interview there is the usual BS. He said the reason he didn't work a programme with Bret in WCW is because Bret got hurt riding a bike. That happened in 2002, a year after WCW shut its doors. So full of BS it's unreal.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Mr. Anderson now has a podcast which is a sign to me that probably every wrestler is gonna get a podcast now at some point.

 

[hyperchord24]

There are tons of stories from the road and I'm sure people will never tire of hearing of HHH's ego or Vince is crazy or maybe just maybe they'll hear something never made public that you'll only hear on ___'s podcast brought to you by _____.

This Kayfabe News article sums it up.

I'd totally listen to Pod Me More with Ryback btw.

 

[KingPK]

The Jericho 25th anniversary episode is really fun since it's just four friends bullshitting for two hours. Jericho's podcast is best without the stupid skits and Fozzy stuff.

 

[Youth N Asia]

Jericho's first twenty minutes are unlistenable garbage. Which is too bad because of all the wrestler podcasts he has the best back and forth with his guests.

 

[Cyrus]

The Jericho 25th anniversary episode is really fun since it's just four friends bullshitting for two hours. Jericho's podcast is best without the stupid skits and Fozzy stuff.

Agreed. I was in tears during the Bulldog Bob Brown stories.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Cheap Heat was (as usual) hit or miss this week, but worth a listen to me, just to hear them replay the Bret "El Dandy" promo.

There was a dig at Justin Credible here that seemed a little gay-ish. I don't remember this exactly. Does anyone know the talk behind it? They mentioned PJ and then I think Jericho or Storm said something like "well we didn't say his name" Then Don chimed in shortly after with a "that's incredible" line.

 

[KingPK]

I was listening to Wade Keller on Austin's podcast and I had to turn it off because it sounded like two old men bitching about how things aren't like they were in THEIR day. Keller apparently thinks the audience should be stupid and be unable to separate the characters from the people playing them.

 

[Cyrus]

The "wrestling audience is stupid" has been a talking point of "internet wrestling journalists" for at least a decade.

 

[Jingus]

Yeah, because "internet wrestling journalists" are all identical clones living in a Borg-like collective hivemind, with identical personalities and opinions and absolutely no dissension. Those People are All Alike!!!

 

[Cyrus]

Not sure what that has to do with what I just posted but, umm, yeah sure.

In regards to thinking that wrestling fans are stupid and can only handle simple paint by the numbers wrestling angles then yeah-- Meltzer, Keller, Powell-- all pretty much in the same boat.

When the TNA title tournament started there were people up in arms with "there's goes TNA over complicating things again" when it was a world-cup style tournament that anyone could understand.

 

[Baby Shoes]

I don't think it was the World Cup style tournament that people complained about, it was more jobbing your hottest act to a past his prime tag wrestler to strip the title and air matches that were filmed in months in advance, then reverse engineering a tournament for a world title out of pre-taped matches while also including scrubs and women.

Or in other words beep bloop NXT beep beep.

 

[KingPK]

Jericho's podcast with high school rivals Xavier Woods and Cody Rhodes is the best thing ever.

 

[KingPK]

Fascinating Talk is Jericho with Nancy Benoit's sister this week. Super chilling how she talked about Benoit researching how to break a neck as his wife and son lay dead in the same house.

 

[Youth N Asia]

Old bump. But Bruce Prichard and Conrad Thompson have been putting out the best wrestling podcast for a few months now. Basically they take one WWE/WWF topic that Bruce was there for and do 2-3 hours on it.

Dusty's WWF Run
Royal Rumble 97
The Steroid Trial

And so on. Very good listens.

And now Conrad is doing the same thing, but with Tony Schiavone and WCW topics. First episode just dropped. Goldberg in WCW. Listening to it later today.



Killing the Town with Storm and Cyrus has also been solid

 

[devo]

Everybody should be listening to Tights and Fights, which is a fairly new podcast (only about six months old) and one of the funnier shows that I listen to (wrestling-related or not). It follows the basic recap/analysis format for the most part, but the playfulness with which they discuss the topic and the terrific rapport between the trio of hosts really sets it apart from the competition.

 

[KingPK]

I listened to the first Killing the Town and it was OK, but I'm afraid that, given the participants, it's gonna get into "old men grumbling about the state of the buisness" territory real quick.

 

[devo]

I listen to Killing the Town - there's some element of that, but it's not as bad as you might think. If anything, it's the retro ECW segments that I skip as they very much require knowledge of the shows in question and I've never been a fan of the promotion.
