Russo's a nice guy but he has to own up on some of the poo poo that explodes when he's around. There's no way he's the unluckiest booker on the planet.


Also Jim Cornette dials the rage factor up to 11 on his podcast if you're into that kinda thing. I loving love it even if I think Cornette is a dink.

Is this the same way that those guys off Reddit call themselves "nice guys"?

Because Russo's a racist, misogynist dickhead.

Russo says in JR's podcast that the only reason the Internet Wrestling Community hates him is because he did such a great job playing a heel in WCW. None of you guys hated him before that.

JR, Austin, and Jericho need to listen to each other's podcasts. This was a complete repeat of Russo's interview with Austin. We learned nothing new. Russo told the same stories. That was just a waste of time. Both of them (JR and Russo) know that Russo was just interviewed, right? Does Russo always think that people are hearing him for the first time ever?

Hey at least we got to hear Russo own up to Oklahoma being a terrible idea and accepting full responsibility for it and saying there was absolutely no justification for it.... but it was all actually Vince McMahon's fault!

I haven't heard the interview, but Vince Russo saying that it was McMahon's idea to insult JR in a distasteful way might be the most believable thing Russo has ever said.

No no, it was all Russo's idea and nobody is to blame but him and it was without justification... it's just that Vince McMahon put him in such a bad mood when he left the company that he was in the mindset to do it. But it's all Russo's fault, he admits that he is totally to blame.... but that he only did it because of Vince McMahon being callous about his (Russo's) family.

Also maybe it was just a slip of the tongue, but Russo talks about arriving in WCW where the old guys like Hogan were on top and that was preventing young guys like Chris Jericho from making their big break, and he immediately went to bat for guys like this.

Now correct me if I'm wrong because Lord knows I often am.... but didn't Jericho debut in WWF while Russo was still working there?

He didn't have a guest this week (his cohost/producer just got out of the hospital) so he just ranted about everything from Republicans to Lucha Underground for like an hour this week and it's amazing.

Austin also talks about the time he saved a whale from the waters behind his house and they had a beer together 200ft under the Sea.

Austin's show is a loving experience.

It is also occasionally a loving Experience as I have heard about Steve Austin's sexual appetite more than I ever wanted to.

Austin imagining that his bottle of wine was yelling out his name was the best story of the show.

And then he drank said wine out of a measuring cup.

Funnily enough, listening to his podcast more gives you the impression that he is remarkably level-headed and grounded, and that he's come out the other side of pro-wrestling with his head screwed on right and in a far better place psychologically than a lot of other guys.

Yeah, he'll spend $500 on his half of a bar tab, but won't pay $50 for a skillet. Is it Austin who Foley would compete with to see who was the cheapest guy on the road?

I really, really like Alice Radley's weekly RAW recaps (The RWR podcast) because her and a guest always shits all over RAW, but in a funny way. It's the difference between Cornette's 'this poo poo sucks so here's how it sucks in joke form' delivery versus Jim Ross's 'this poo poo sucks' delivery.

The fact that she nearly died from that liver issue was crazy.

He overstates it. But HHH seems to be someone who has a vision and has made all the right moves so far. He's found that mix of sports entertainment/actual wrestling with NXT that's lacking in the main roster. I wouldn't say he's the smartest man in the business, but in those terms he's one of the smartest people in the WWE.

I think Hogan deserves mention solely for how he played Turner his entire stint of the 90s. Being able to strategically be off Nitros when they were going to get beat by sporting events and then claim ratings himself. And I'll second Nash as well.
