Anyone having problems with downloading the Art of Wrestling podcast from tsmradio? It used to be that when you downloaded them, you'd get the entire thing, now it just seems to be the introduction. Also, the player at Stitcher sucks a dick. I can't install iTunes on my work PC, otherwise I would just do that.

There's a huge market in people who want to see larger than life personalities and bodies. It is what made 80s WWF so popular or why Great Khali has a job. Wrestling will always have a circus element.

The problem with the circus analogy is that a circus is made up of all different body types, not just the strongmen and twinks.

What Vince and HHH want is a turkish bath house.

Also remember the time HHH said that nobody would believe that Kurt Angle could be WWE champion because he was too small? Good times.

That's fair.

Will never argue WWE is rational or coherent.

But the causal fan "look at him" factor shouldn't discounted.

I just get the last fifteen minutes or so initially. I have to then wait two days or so to download the full complete show on Downcast. Only podcast I have that issue with.

Within the last two years, New Japan has made every show of consequence readily available (and a whole bunch of the inconsequential house shows more recently), both through PPV and not being all that aggressive about pulling down YouTubes/other options. Unless you desperately need bad English commentary instead of commentary that's 10 percent the announcers screaming out the big moves in English, it's actually a hell of a lot easier to follow than TNA, and probably easier than WWE given that I don't know how some of y'all can actually watch everything WWE does these days.
It doesn't really get easier than laying on the couch and turning the channel to Spike or USA, but point taken.

I really don't have the motivation to follow anything that isn't on tv. And I don't have DVR, so sadly this also means ROH, which airs at like 2am here.

I'm listening to the Stone Cold Podcast with Wade Keller, and the idea of Vince McMahon calling up Wade Keller to ask what the hell was going on between Stone Cold and the Big Bossman, and ending up shooting the poo poo for 45 minutes, is just enthralling. Vince is such a weird, fascinating man.

In the post you quoted, I said I wouldn't follow anything that isn't on tv.

I know this must be frustrating to watch, as I often say stupid poo poo like, "there's literally no good wrestling right now," which I don't really mean. And when I do complain even without using ridiculous hyperbole, a lot of people are like, "But I'm watching really kickass wrestling and you can too! Why whine when you can love wrestling again?"

I get it. I do. You guys are in the right. I just have this arbritrary, dipshit idea of what I'm willing to do to watch wrestlemans, and sitting at my computer isn't on that list. My couch is where wrestling happens. (Don't take that out of context.) Hell, if I had my druthers, all wrestling would be live and on television. If that were the case, I'd probably give up the dumbass notion that TNA and WWE are the only game in town.

Yeah it finally worked, the third time I tried to download it from tsm radio it got the whole file. Something fucky going on with it well beyond my ken.

Good podcast, I didn't actually know that Colt had been on Austin's show. I've got that tee'd up for my commute home now. I really hope they make good on their threat to dissect matches together, The Steve and Colt Watch Wrestling Show would get all the buys from me.

Yeah. We had Tulalip Championship Wrestling, whose biggest stars were Bryan Alvarez, Vinny, and this dude named The Ideal Reflection Chris Ryseck. It was okay, but mostly meat-and-potatoes WCW powerplant graduate-style matches. Lock up, hip toss, clothesline, neckbreacker, etc. At leas the two shows I went to before it shut down again were like that.

Edit: Where's my Bryan and Vinny show? :mad:

Last year the developers were pretty cool but I think it was the 2011 guys had one of the best interviews I think Bryan's ever done. I might have my years off, but usually the video game guys are pretty entertaining to listen to, even when compared with some of the wrestlers they have on the show.

Question for the Ten Count. Actual, legit question.

Who does the best (insert widely-repeated standby transition move here)? Like, we all know who does/did the best Spinebuster, so don't discuss that. But there are lots of other moves that lots of guys do with their own take on it - things like dropkicks, stalling suplexes, clotheslines, etc. Who does them the crispest, makes them look like death without actually paralysing anyone, you guys are far better equipped to know the parameters of what makes a good (move) than I am.

On a simlar note, what move that was originally a transitional/'regular' move has made the jump to 'finisher' most/best?


Like clotheslines, lariats, elbow strikes etc.

Well, in this scenario, it's a 60 minute Iron Man, submission only match. I envision a classic on par with Bret-HBK, with Khali just locking Vise Grip as time expires. The crowd chants overtime as Vicki Guerrero demands the continuation of the match. Miz immediately drops Khali and attempts to lock in the figure four, but due to his own ineptitude and Khali's immobility, he cannot quite lock it in. The camera switches to a crowd shot, and you can watch the cheering crowd slowly age and die. Raw ends with a crowd filled with skeletons. Meltzer gives it ***** and commits hari kiri, leaving his empire to Bryan Alvarez. The home page of F4W/WO is replaced with a shoddy photoshop of Dave's leather jacket cloaking an animated gif of Ryback's mouth.

Wrestlehut Pisscast Episode 10: Survivor Series Rundown - RIP Bryans and Dogs


RIP Asparagus. He was a good dog who has held many wrestling titles. He is survived by his owner Brian Griffin who also died tonight as part of an extended burial spanning several months. Slotted into the piss break match against fat hillbillies, Bryan is clearly in the dog house. His metaphorical burial is like symmetry to those dogs who actually were buried in the ground because they died. It's like a poem. What does the future hold for Daniel Brian? Bryan Gryphon died because of a car. RIP Daniel "Brian "Bryan Danielson" Griffin" Bryan. Rest in peace, my friend.

This week we were joined in the grieving process by our friend Cardboard. Join us later this week for our thoughts on Raw, 2CW's 99 Problems, your questions, and whatever bullshit we normally do that you love.
