This was a great observer when he was talking about Chael Sonnen and making him jump through hoops. Then Bryan insinuated he have some sort of physical challenge for him. The Dave Taylor part was definitely the highlight though.


hahaha "maybe give him a ribbon and the hoop and have him do a little routine for us."




e: listening to the post-Victory Road WOR and absolutely dying over Alvarez's comment on the Generation Me promo where Jeremy talks about his being birthday.

Dave: "I wonder if it's really his birthday. Let me check. If it was WWE it'd really be his birthday."
Bryan: "It's probably the other brother's actual birthday. IT'S A SWERVE!"

that's about all I can say about that.

Karl Stern grows on you. I first listened to his show two years ago and thought "That was horrible... he wasn't prepared, has no charisma and didn't cover any interesting topics!" I gave him a chance months later and started enjoying it. He really shines when he talks about the Pioneer Era.

Also the new back issue covers Rumble 94 and the feedback results are really telling:

Today's Art of Wrestling with Luke Gallows is my favorite so far. It may be because I went to the same college as Gallows, and know the football coach he talks about. His story about getting caught while wrestling in a battle royal is great.

Holy poo poo, I marked the gently caress out hearing the Bryan and Vinny show from the 6th open with Robert Johnston's 'Cross Road Blues'.

Who's the roots fan, does anyone know?

I love the rootsy music the show often opens with because I'm a big fan of it.

Roots music :allears:

The best one was a song about Adam and eve in the garden of Eden and frolicing around where the closing line of the verse was "then he hit eve in the eye with a tater". Vinny let's out the angriest, most confused "WHAT?!" I've ever heard.

I seem to recall a man shootin' his women for fooling around with too many other men. To which Vinny asked "how many is too many?"

May have involved "back door love".

This just makes me think about what's going on today with the WWE dropping wrestling from their name and how it's going to kill the business. Back in 94, people were having the same wrestling vs entertainment argument, just about the undertaker.

You'd think with all the roots music they play this kind of thing would be common place.

I don't think the gender roles was what angered/confused Vinny so much as it was the fact that someone wrote a song about Adam and eve using fruit and veg as projectile weapons.

Dave actually discusses how the reaction was polarized. Most people, the traditional wrestling fans thought the show was awful and insulting. The sports entertainment fans liked it a lot. Negative to positive feedback was 2 to 1, but there were still fans who loved the show.

I thought it was the most frustrating episode so far, i really wonder if Colt is avoiding all the interesting subjects on purpose, or whether he just likes the quirky little stories more.

I thought many of his stories were interesting, but i was waiting for them to get to the Straight Edge Society part.

Too many of the talks on the podcast just feels like pure fluff you could read in any interview.

I think it's just a case of starting at the beginning and using up all the time they had, he didn't talk much about what he's done since leaving besides the countries and promotions he's been to. Maybe he'll come on again and talk about his SES stories, or maybe it's just a matter of him not wanting to burn any bridges.

I'm listening to it now and I was surprised to learn that Scott Hall passing on coming to the Hall of Fame because he would be tempted was bullshit. Sean said he wasn't allowed to come, they didn't want to take the chance of him being there.
