GREG IS BIG NOW


If Zeb/Mantell's podcast is just him interviewing dudes from the territory days about all the bonkers poo poo that happened back then, it'll be a must-listen. His episode of Austin's podcast was fascinating.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

Yeah, the Dibiase episode of the Ross Report was really good and I wished it was a 2 parter. I could listen to "real, dangerous heat" stories from old time vets for days.

Has anyone kept track of how many weeks in a row JR's gone on the rant about heels needing to break the rules and no wrestler wanting to act like a true heel? It has to be 4-6 straight weeks at this point. Either he has no other thoughts about wrestling, or he thinks no one else will remember. Or he can't remember himself.

ps. Great podcast other than that, thanks to DiBiase. I could listen to guys tell stories about the territories and working Japan in the 80s forever. I never knew Vince gave him the cash to play the Million Dollar Man gimmick in real life. Would've been an amazing story if he showed up at a restaurant you were at one night and bought everyone dinner.

I love that he gave him just enough rope to hang himself with if he tried to take advantage of it. Gave him a couple grand (back in the 80s, remember) and told him to pick his spots carefully in terms of splashing out and not going hog-wild with "free" money.

I definitely liked JR when I didn't know more of his opinions. His blog seems to hint at utter contempt for the "internet wrestling fan." Because there are so many wrestling fans these days without the internet. And in his podcast, he sounds very bitter about a lot of opinions. Ex: Top rope 10 punch count, heels being cheered, and he seems to look down on fans who don't agree with him as in the case of fans who wanted to see Bryan with the title before Wrestlemania. From Royal Rumble to WM XXX, every other blog he would get all "these kids these days" when it came to people not "understanding" a slow boil. He seems to think many fans are very stupid, which makes me wonder who are the fans he appreciates?

The Todd Martin trivia contest is pretty fun if only for Bryan being really awkward with his lovely sound effects (free show btw)

I love the idea that there's this self-sustaining carousel of old-timer podcasts, where all the guests on every podcast eventually become podcast proprietors themselves. Clearly there's a market for it.

This is exactly how stand up comedians' podcasts have historically worked, there's a good podcast precedent

This is why I still listen to Cornette's podcast, he has more territory days guests on that the PodcastOne circle jerk doesn't and he's a decent interviewer.

At this point it feels like it's just piling on, but it feels like every episode JR talks about "if you can count your friends in this business on one hand you're lucky, and I consider you a friend". He's said to this pretty much everyone on the show I think.

Also, thanks for pointing at Attitude Era podcast. Royal Rumble 2000 was the first PPV I watched after being out of it for years and it so loving awesome.

Did anyone ever listen to Roddy piper's podcast? I decided to pass on that one because I didn't enjoy his appearance on austins show and the only reason I remembered is because everyone was talking about the a alphabet soup of wrestling podcasts

Cornette is a fun host, especially now that he's not active in the business any more, but his co-host sucks and he rants about politics a little too much for my taste, even though I agree with him 90% of the time.

Well, how else would he learn the real names of luchadors? The girls would go through their wallets when they pass out asleep and immediately phone Dave with the details. It's brilliant when you think about it...
