reality_groove posted:I love the Art of Wrestling but outside the song and the interview, he doesn't add that much. Since he's a wrestler he's kind of a softball interviewer and never talks about his own road stories that much, which is a shame. That is what bothers me also, it just seems strange to be friends with all these interesting people and then not talk about what the listeners want to hear, for example having Samoa Joe there would be a perfect time to honestly ask him about how TNA is using him, instead its just the same old buddy talk. Also is it just me or did CM Punk come off as a real rear end in a top hat in his episode?

Why would Joe kill any chance he has of ever getting a push? He's only a big dumb baby in storyline.

I finally broke down and watched 3 straight weeks of Impact in hopes that it would be entertaining in a train wreck kind of way because of how hilarious I find Bryan and Vinny's reviews. And it wasn't. So last week was the end of my trial with that. And luckily so because drat does it sound like last night's show had some horrible poo poo on it. I think I can live with just hearing their reviews instead of actually watching it.

Colt is only an okay interview, but the very fact that someone who knows the life is interviewing people in the life makes it fascinating. Lagana, on the other hand, is a genuinely great interview. His "Formerly creative" shows are killer.

Sweet, a podcast that has former WWE creative members on it? And I get to pay for it? Waaait a minute, I'll just listen to Formerly Creative. Speaking of which on the latest episode they talk about how WWE might have done Wargames if not for 9/11.

If anyone ever had any interest in checking out my podcast Smart Wrestling Fan, I'd say do so now, because we did our 300th episode this week and it's probably my favourite. A song about HHH/Taker at WM, a radio play of The Chaperone, one of the co-hosts being incredibly drunk... 3 and a half hours of nonsense, and also wrestling chat.

The Larry Mollin episode is great. For all the rage over the years that people have had over the Hollywood TV writers being brought in by the evil Vince McMahon and it turns out that it was something that they did to placate the corporate factions in the company and that Vince and his inner circle basically always set them up to fail.

The Mania Week creative Figure 4 Dailies are so much better than Formerly Creative. Bryan is a far superior interviewer. This isn't to say Formerly Creative is bad, the Mania Week shows are just far more entertaining.

Though I'm not a fan of the Formerly Creative shows anyway. I listened to two of them and stopped. Just didn't enjoy them. Lagana's Press the Press shows are pretty good though.

I almost died laughing atthe free WO show today. The topic of Rima Fakih's school came up and she'd previously claimed that there was a shooting or stabbling at her school every day which led to this exchange (paraphrasing): Bryan: If anyone can find me a school where there was a shooting or stabbing EVERY DAY, I will give you $100 Dave: How many consecutive days does it need to be on? Bryan: A full school year. Three-hundred-and-sixty-five days Dave: That's going to be hard. That's a long shot. I don't think you're going to find one Bryan: That's the point Dave: ...................... What if it was 365 stabbings in 1 day instead?

Formerly creative annoys me because they're too close to the source to really get into it. Dave's like: So it's pretty hosed up working there... let's start talking about how much we hated it. Oh hey, you worked with Heyman with the Smackdown Six? That would have been cool I guess but let's talk about the time we went to Italy...

Like, the couple I listened to never even really acknowledged how hosed up the environment is, it was all "No disrespect, they're the kings, it's not fair to say anything bad about the set-up...". Which, fine, don't burn your bridges, but A) most of these guys DO get into that stuff with Alvarez and B) most of them are adamant they're not going back, so why bother? Seriously, listen to Formerly Creative with Goldstein and then listen to F4D with Court Bauer. It's like they're talking about two different things. Larry Mollin had it dead on. WWE is like a cult. They want you broken, beaten down and indoctrinated so the company is all you think about.

It could be something as simple as Lagana isn't paying them and they're smart enough to know RF will pay them some nominal amount for their info.
