Seriously. 88 MPH is just the speed at which a time machine built out of a Delorean DMC-12 generates enough power to enable time travel. The momentary energy transfer of a chair traveling at 88 MPH into a person carrying a flux capacitor wouldn't be nearly enough.

Don't question RD Evans' knowledge in the main area of his legal expertise.

Amazing, Todd has wrong opinions about the fake application of the law used in a wrestling angle.

Yeah, I typically steer clear of his shows, and this isn't really something that sounds right. I Am Not A Time Travel Lawyer, but one would think that you'd still be able to expect to not be struck by objects traveling at 88 miles per hour.

For some reason my brain got RD Evans confused with RD Reynolds and I was really excited at the prospect of the Wrestlecrap guy getting brained with a chair, but then reality intervened. :smith:

The 10 Count - Who will win the fight?



Notes: This podcast is way too long, and that's after a major amount of editing. Apologies for the wait!

Pictures referenced on the show:

The Chyna with Shane McMahon picture
The other SHANE picture.
The third SHANE picture.
CONOR AND HIS WACKY COSTUME

The Topics:

(01) "The big story of RAW is..." (SHOCKING! WE FORGOT ABOUT EVA MARIE!!!)
(02) MsChif: Your souls tormentor --- or fake preppy poser???
(03) From kidcoelacanth: Shane McMahon has decided to make his return to WWE. What do you do with him as an onscreen character?
(04) From Karmine: What are some of the most disgusting promotional tactics of all time, and what do you think should win the award in 2013?
(05) From NienNunb: Would a fully committed to brand split work in present-day WWE, and if so, who would you have as the big stars of each show?
(06) From Draga: Who are your favorite jobbers?
(07) From oatgan: Is there anyone in NXT right now that you think has potential for a real main event push?
(08) From Bard Maddox: Who are the most underrated wrestling actors? Guys who wouldn't make it as actual actors, but are very good for professional wrestling.
(09) NJPW Title situation - what is the best case scenario?
(10) From oatgan: Both of the New Japan tag team divisions have gotten pretty stale. What would you do to liven things up?

OK, I'm kind of a dummy, but I just realized that the Steve Austin podcast is now 2 totally separate podcasts. I had heard his announcement about doing interviews on Tuesdays and Unleashed on Thursdays, but didn't realize they would be separated and I've only been getting Unleashed since last week. So yeah, go subscribe to the interview side if you haven't already.

The guys from Attitude Era Podcast, this Saturday, are streaming themselves doing a 24-hour wrestling game marathon for charity.

I'm not sure of the American times, but it starts at 10am GMT on Saturday morning, until Sunday 10am.

So you should all donate and watch and be happy.

This week's back issue features the obituary of Herb Abrams. Not wanting to wait for the funeral, Dave gives him a proper burial.

quote:

Eccentric sometimes-wrestling promoter Herb Abrams passed away on the morning of 7/23 from cardiac failure in what was reported by the New York Post as an apparent drug overdose.

Abrams, who was 41, stopped breathing after being handcuffed by police in his office at 7 Penn Plaza in Manhattan after he was going on a spree bashing up furniture on several floors of the building with a baseball bat and pulling on fire alarms at about 6 a.m. He was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital and was declared dead at about 7:30 a.m.

Police were called about an emotionally disturbed person and arrived at 6:10 a.m. and found Abrams naked, covered with baby oil with two women in the office.

This is the nice part.

Reading an old Observer, and this bit was interesting considering the most recent WWE PPV. This is Dave talking about the International Incident IYH ppv.

quote:

As a show itself, it was almost that most dreaded thing a PPV show could be. Not even bad, because we've certainly seen a lot worse. But when it was over, it was like it might as well had never taken place. It was a show that going in looked to be one a casual fan could miss and figure that they weren't going to miss anything special. It's the shows like that where promotions are under pressure to show the fan they were wrong to skip them, so when a decision like that comes along in the future, the consumer would lean toward purchasing. Unfortunately, the consumer who skipped this card would later find out that he didn't miss anything of significance. When a wrestling PPV, which accounts for approximately 50% of the revenue of WCW (a lower percentage in WWF, maybe around 20% which is still a substantial chunk) becomes "missable," it becomes like too many other events on PPV quietly fade away.
