Realistically, the interview process for new writers should be going for is to find those with an interest and appreciation in the business and weed out the biggest marks whose job performance would be affected by them trying to put themselves and their ideas above the product's well being.

Then again, Triple H and Stephanie have have to remove themselves from that position given their power trips.

One of my defining memories of Stephanie's tunnel vision was a news item that said she was trying like hell to bring Daniel Rodimer to the main show from developmental. The dude was the drizzling shits. We're talking literally worse than Chris Masters when Masters first started with the company (if you remember, Masters managed to break Stevie Richards nose with a polish hammer, a move that's supposed to hit you in the chest), and supposedly her main reasoning was that he was incredibly jacked and good looking and she thought he'd get over big as a Rick Rude type. Even Vince overruled her supposedly, which, given Vince's love of jacked guys, should really tell you all you need to know about useless he really was.

BIG BICEPS SHOHEI




THE 10 COUNT - Where's the book review? / BIG DADDY YUM YUM IMPROVED AFTER JUST ONE MATCH



Hosts: MassRafTer, KungFu Grip, HulkaMatt

The Topics


01.) New Japan Pro Wrestling - The New Beginning

02.) From Wario Kart 64: Who should be the guy to end Okada's reign as IWGP Champ?

03.) CESARO and BIG E.

04.) From Junpei Hyde: 1. Do you think Daniel Bryan will ever have a meaningful run with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? 2. Do you think WWE can maintain the aspects of the Divas division that they totally push (Total Divas) while also featuring consistently good wrestling and storylines? 3. Which is bigger: Batista's dick, or Triple H's opinion of himself?

05.) JUBS. Also From Jubs: Why is that shot of Vince coming up with the bloody face not the most iconic shot in WWE history? What is?

06.) Wrestler of the Week: Lita

07.) From Wario Kart 64: What's the closest thing wrestling has today to Steamboat/Flair?

08.) From Rarity: You're WWE Creative. Sting has been signed to an active wrestler contract for WrestleMania. What do you do with him?

09.) From Blasmeister: Which current Diva do you think would be the best at shoot fights?

10.) From MassRafTer: Why do your Punchsport Podcast co-hosts not support the great work you do in bringing the magic of WCW to the forum???



Just queued it up to put it on iTunes if that's easier for any of you.

It's amazing that Dave is willing to talk at length about every aspect of wrestling business, but somehow Bryan asking about why they dropped Cesaro's first name caused Dave to completely clam up.

Wow, my question sounded a lot better in my head than it came across on the Pisscast. Bikertaker came up in conversation recently, so I've been pondering that gimmick a lot lately. Thanks for taking the question though.

Occasional listener who'll always give you guys a download when NJPW is discussed. Most entertaining podcast you guys have done thanks to BIG DADDY YUMYUM and his "improvement". Do want to add that I think Nakamura would be a logical next champ if they want to break the Okada/Tana cycle while still keeping it on a big established star.

I agree with the premise that all the matches would be less good because biker taker sucked and the rebirth of the dead man made it easier to forget how much I hated him in the early 2000's

I haven't listened to one of these for a long time but wanted to hear the NJPW discussion. I don't know if you guys realize this, but it kinda comes across subtly that maybe you're not entirely taking the questions you are asked seriously!

I was worried I was going to hear a bunch of Doctor Who discussion on Bryan and Vinny but I guess that was on another show, so I was saved. Minor miracles.

On the other hand it is somehow already July 4th Convention season so I got to hear about how I would have the TIME OF MY LIFE in Vegas. I really doubt that would happen.
