It has been nearly five days after Raw. You know what that means?

Wrestling With Marks-ism - Episode 4 "Bad News From Nippon"

This week, wrestling noob Zarikov and I bullshit about things that would be been more relevant had this episode come out two days, such as Extreme Rules and Raw. We also talk some ROH Global Wars and answer a few questions (poorly) as well. Good Times!

I think his remark that he couldn't wait however long it would take for it to heal indicated he had. He's just too stubborn to listen to their advise, so he went to two chiropractors instead, plus some other non doctors.

The second part of Austin's interview with Bischoff was a complete clusterfuck. Halfway through the show Austin suddenly declares that they've run out of time and will continue next week, then suddenly he's back like it's next week and he's doing his usual pre-interview fluff (a very funny story about farting in the gym and giving CPR to a dead squirrel) before jumping back into interviewing Bischoff, and then 20 minutes or so later he goes to a commercial spot and suddenly the podcast just.... stops.

I think somebody at Podcast One phoned in their work this week.

That felt so nice to click on an Austin show and not hear any ads in the beginning. Not only that, but it started off with the most interesting part of the interview first with Bischoff saying "This is what your listeners are probably most interested in hearing." I was like "Alright, Austin's finally figured it out. This is going to be a real good show."

Why can't they made a pay version without ads? I don't give a poo poo about pay free. I'll pay any amount of money to never hear the words legal zoom again.

Then you're the exception because most people wouldn't pay. I'd much rather skip a commercial and keep getting it for free.

You have a fast forward button that conveniently skips at 30-second intervals, so what's the big deal?

Nobody is going to pay for a podcast. The only reason anyone paid for Jimmy Pardo's podcast is because he started doing it a billion years ago before people knew they didn't have to pay to hear two comedians jacking each other off. That's why podcast commercials are in that terrible middle ground between satellite radio(complete snake oil and rip-off poo poo) and real radio ads. Just about every podcast ad is for some kind of invented middleman company to prey off middle America's laziness(chocolate-covered fruit, file storage, etc).

Real radio ads are for terrible snake oil poo poo as well, or at least that's the case for the radio station that's usually on at my job (standard mainstream pop). Half the ads are for hypnosis seminars, herbal supplements, and bullshit child rearing programs.

I do? Where is this button? If I'm on the computer, I click on a random point about 2 minutes past and usually have to keep skipping around until I find where the commercials stop. That would be pretty annoying to keep having to do itself. But then, I usually listen to podcasts in my car or when I'm jogging. (I mean, people are usually doing something when listening to podcasts) In that case it's almost impossible to skip. As I'm running, I'm fiddling with my phone trying to skip, sometimes it goes 20 minutes ahead, sometimes it goes all the way to the end and the audio stops, then I'm wishing the person who invented ads (or the owner of either Legal Zoom or Alpha Brain) was in front of me so I could throw my phone at his loving face.

Why not give us the option? Every time I hear Austin or somebody talking about how great it is that podcasts are pay free, I roll my eyes.

Jim Cornette has the right idea with his podcasts.

I thought the same thing for the first 20 times. It's the repetition. If he said different ads each podcast episode, there would be no problem.

Austin's reading of ads are fine. They're typically pretty short and he keeps them interesting typically.

The worst of the worst is Jericho. God drat is he annoying when he reads ads (or does any skit for that matter) and I'm a big fan of his. He turns on that weird radio voice and it's just cringeworthy. I typically fast forward the first two minutes of his show.

If his actual interviews weren't so good, I wouldn't even subscribe.

To me both Dave and Bryan are missing a couple obvious points regarding Jushin Liger's popularity.

Many of the Toronto fans I'm sure like myself thought he was really loving awesome when they were children and were massively hyped at getting the chance to see him live. I thought he was the coolest wrestler imaginable simply from seeing phtotos of him in Apter magazines before I even got to see him in WCW.

I'm a huge NJPW fan and am traveling to NYC see the modern stars, but there's something uniquely special about getting the chance to see one of my favorites from when I was a kid live for the first and probably only time.

I also think that while the NJPW guys were obviously a draw, a lot of people at the Toronto show were probably more ROH fans than NJPW fans and were more familiar with Liger due to his work in WCW than the current big 3. It wouldn't shock me if there's more of a fanbase for the newer stars in NYC due to more dorks like myself willing to travel to go see them.

That was what I kept thinking through that entire argument. Even if Liger is a shadow of what he was, I loved the wcw cruiser weight division. So much talent having amazing matches every show.

This is how it was at the show in Windsor the night before too. People were way more excited for their hometown guys than the New Japan guys. The main event between two hometown dudes was seemingly a lot more over than when Tanahashi and Nakamura came out. They also loved Booker T.

Even as he's winding down, Liger is still pretty good. I liked his NJPW US tour match with Kenny Omega a lot.
