Him shilling for mint scented butt wipes and cheap razors is pretty funny (it's the first time I listened to the podcast).

This was a really good pod and Jake sounds particularly lucid and a little more clear-throated than usual. Definitely check it out.

Austin's interview with Michael Hayes was really interesting, though I couldn't help but laugh when he basically tried to take credit for The Shield's success.

His story about the barfight he and Terry Gordy got into with a couple of bikers (one with a pegleg!) was pretty great too.

Was Hayes' logic basically: "They're a three-man group, just like the Freebirds! Thus, they got the idea from me, and I'm the reason they're a big deal! :haw:"?

Paraphrasing, but basically he said:

"Nowadays a lot of tag-teams are just a couple of guys who work together in matches and don't interact otherwise. That's why I'm so proud of The Shield, because they do everything together as a unit... I told them that by the way when they were first formed, I said you guys gotta work together, go to the gym together, travel together, eat together, etc...."

Oh, THAT is what that noise was. Yeah, it was bugging me throughout the whole thing. It is a good interview though, for all his faults Hayes can tell a hell of an entertaining story and I love his Gordy impression.

Meltzer burying Nancy Grace in today's daily update was spectacular.

quote:

--Some thoughts on the Nancy Gracie segment yesterday with DDP. It was that sensationalistic fake outrage stuff from reporters that are a total turnoff. However, people spreading the word that Nancy Gracie said Owen Hart died of steroids are just as bad (let me clarify this by saying I am going off a YouTube clip that was edited, so I may not have seen the entire segment). There was a list of wrestlers dying young on the screen. She never said one name on that list that I heard, except talked about Warrior. She just said a lot of wrestlers died young because of steroids and drugs, which is true. There was enough of an implication that the people on the list died that way that it was an unfair portrayal, but she never said that. And anyone talking about the nature of Warrior's death for more than 90 seconds in a journalistic capacity who doesn't bring up his admitted use of steroids is a hack. If you really respect the guy, respect the fact that he himself didn't run from the subject, unlike so many.

I have no idea if he was or wasn't using during any of the last decade or longer since he left wrestling. But he also was not shy to say that he did for years, and his failed tests and firings are all public record. He had a heart attack at 54 when he's supposed to be a health nut. I'm not saying that's what he died from. There could be plenty of other reasons. But if you don't even ask that question or bring up the possibility, you're trying to run from something.

She was obnoxious in her delivery, but she always is. Jim Cornette of all people should know that shows like that live for the reaction, and her show people are likely laughing at all the publicity wrestling fans are giving the show today. You want to get back at Nancy Grace? Don't watch the show. I don't. I watched last night for one minute and realized why I didn't need to, and it wasn't even a wrestling segment, then turned it off. Thinking getting the show trending on Twitter is a negative to her is to not understand how people laugh at people who overreact on shows like that. Worse, all the people who reacted to her saying Owen Hart died from steroids, there's nothing that makes people in that world not listen to people who complain to them, or laugh at those doing so, is claiming they said something they never said in the first place.

You want to complain about the segment, go ahead. Just make sure you don't say that Nancy Gracie said Owen Hart died of steroids, because then any letter just strengthens their ability to say all these crazy wrestling fans don't know what they are talking about.

To the people at the station she works at, a petition by wrestling fans to cancel Nancy Gracie is probably something they are all laughing at today, and reveling in the publicity. You want to do something constructive, or do a petition, or send letters to HLN, ask her to go on the air and give clarity to those list of wrestlers that say, yes, they died young, but Owen Hart, Mark Curtis (Brian Hildbrand), Brady Boone, etc. did not die from steroids or drugs, that you can reasonably get the idea from that piece that they did. And that is unfair to their memories and to their families.

She's not a real reporter--she's a sensationalist looking for ratings--and her ratings aren't even that good. But the inaccuracy of some who claimed Nancy Gracie said Owen Hart died of steroids was no better. I watched it and I didn't even get that there was an implication of that, but I could easily see where people could. It was confusing enough that it should have been clarified. I think she should go on today and clarify it for that reason. It probably won't happen, but that's a different thing that goes back to what they are doing isn't real reporting and they don't care about misinforming the public with their show. Unless they do clarify it tonight.

Question, have TNA been treating Young with even the tiniest shred of legitimacy since I last watched, or is he still border-line autistic manchild who is basically protected by Abyss or ODB? I mean, this is the group that gave the world title to Chris Sabin only for him to lose it in a squash a week later to the same guy he beat for it, so I'm not sure what I'm expecting, but y'know...

The discussion of the episode of impact was exactly what you would expect. They just talked about how it was a blatant rip off of wrestlemania. Some geek on Twitter trying to correct them by saying that it was more like Samoa Joe was like Daniel Bryan and not Eric Young so it wasn't all that similar. Bryan said it absolutely was similar because it was the underdog story with two matches on the same show.

No ridiculous outrage because it's just the TNA title and them ripping off WWE is their MO anymore.

You know I hadn't watched TNA for a long while and randomly caught the Young/Abyss match where he unmasked Abyss on Youtube. I didn't recognize the guy. He had throat surgery too iirc so his voice is a lot more rough now. I was actually pretty impressed, he was always a good worker and his new look and voice gave him a nice makeover. From reading the spoilers though it doesn't sound like they've been building this up at all which is the bigger problem. I used to hate Eric Young too. He looked too weak to be a heel and too pretty to be a baby face; not to mention the stupid gimmicks they threw him in.
