Dave knew 2K was getting WWE long before THQ die. He said he tried to drop hints for weeks.

We have such a backlog of questions, and the FOTW is a rather hit-or-miss thing; we talked about it before the show, and decided that it would be better to answer one more question that you folks have submitted to us.

Thank you so much for those, by the way; we really appreciate them. It's heartening to know that there are people who care what a bunch of idiots like us have to say about wrestling.

You guys make standing around for 5 hours cleaning dishes so much more bearable.

Sorry to add to the question glut on the GoonPunch Sportcast, but you can answer this one before my last one if you like.

Vince will relinquish control of the WWE to you, the newest member of WWE Creative, if you can accomplish this task: Eliminate the 'What' chants inside of one calendar year. You have access to the full roster and Austin, and can basically do anything you like within broadcast standards. How do you do it?

The most recent one I recall is when the McMahons/HHH drama started a few weeks ago, Alvarez was pondering "Where exactly is this going? Is this leading to something cool?" And Dave said "Well it's....um, well...it's leading somewhere...I don't know if it'll be cool..." sounded like he knew what the blowoff of this angle will be but held his tongue.

Also, why Chris Jericho was coming off the top rope after having his knee injured.

Dave: "Well, there's a reason why"

Bryan: "He's not hurt!"

Dave: "Nooo"

Bryan: "It's a work!"

Dave: "Noooo"

Bryan: "He's crazy!"

Dave: "Nooo... we'll talk it about after the show."

I had a train of thought of turning it around on the audience and running it into the ground so it didn't have meaning anymore and the audience got annoyed, like something with Audience interaction and blaring WHAT WHAT WHAT over the loudspeakers with annoying music...but then my train of thought drifted to imagining Lil' John blaring "WHAT" and "YEAH" like how Chappelle did it and I can't stop giggling inside.

Lil Jon's not busy these days, is he? Because a call-and-response with both him and the crowd what-ing one another would be gold.

The only way to eliminate the what chants is to film all WWE TV in front of TNA house show crowds.

I enjoyed Dave and Bryan imagining possible foreign objects for Ricardo Rodriguez. Buckets, canes, crutches... Everything but the most obvious object that already fits his gimmick and is widely accepted as a dangerous weapon.

Believe maybe like 1/3 of what he says. HTM is one of the most carny, self-aggrandizing fuckers ever in a business full of self-aggrandizing, carny fuckers.

Considering he's taking (hopefully tongue-in-cheek) credit for Hulkamania and the People's Eyebrow, this is good advice.

If you're not listening to the Steve Austin Show, the newest episode is basically him complaining and ranting for an hour and it's awesome. Also he's apparently doing episodes on refereeing and drugs in the future.

It's weird. I've never seen Rumble '92 but I feel like I know it inside and out thanks to OSWReview covering it recently but The Old School Wrestling Podcast also covered it back last year. I got like 20 minutes into OSWReview before I realised I'd recognised the event.

What's so lovely though is that Flair's win is such a great achievement but is rendered moot immediately because Hogan needs his spotlight.

Speaking of which, Jay reckons he'll have the next episode of OSWReview (Mania 9) out in the next two weeks or so.

This one is going to be amazing, because the OSWReview Crew are always much funnier when they hate whatever they're reviewing, and other than Macho's entrance and Heenan's entrance, what is there to like about Mania 9.

Fair play I forgot that one, because that vulture was rad as gently caress, I wish he'd do that again.

Although I dunno if I'd put that above Macho entering like Caesar and Heenan entering sitting backwards on a camel. :allears:

Since we just had the 15th anniversary of the Mankind-Undertaker HItC, I'll ask a downer of a hypothetical question.

What would have happened if Foley died during that match? What would have been the fall out for a wrestler dying, not for a freak accident, but directly due to a planned part of the match? Would the peak of WWF popularity and the death of WCW still have occurred? Would WWF have survived?

It's a Goog Day, yes it is!
I don't have a witty tagline, but I do have a Ten Count!



Topics: 1. WWE playing up the history of their world titles
2. Daniel Bryan's schizophrenic booking
3. If TNA dies sometime late this year, what happens to its talent?
4. WRESTLER OF THE WEEK: R-Truth
5. At what time, in what company, would the top star getting hurt have done the most damage?
6. How would the Monday Night Wars have gone if Eric Bischoff was hired by the WWF in the early 90s?
7. How would you repackage Randy Orton?
8. You can watch one match from WWE's library. What match do you choose, and why?
9. If CM Punk had defended the WWE Title outside the company in the summer of 2011, who would have been some good opponents for him?
10. What matches would you book on another "Wrestling Summit" show?


There's a very noticeable drop in the audio quality at just about the one-hour mark; our primary recording died unexpectedly, and we had to use a backup. Sorry about that.
