I think he can hear you, Ray.

I agree it's better with him but apparently it's difficult for them to record together recently because he moved away, so I can forgive them doing extra episodes without.

I didn't realise that, but to be fair the bonus episodes tend not to include him anyway, except for the Wrestlemania Rage Party one...which is a great episode an even funnier thing to watch.

Yeah, they even say bonus episodes are just things for them to do while Billy is away.

I tend to agree. I don't really need a segment-by-segment recap of Raw when the show comes out on Wednesday or Thursday.

Yeah I agree too. We used to do it that way. Oatgan convinced us to do full recaps, which was a mistake... oh well.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
And they've been getting shorter! Also, most of our segment-by-segment recaps amount to "yeah, this sucked NEXT." The reason the recap takes so long is we get caught up in stream-of-consciousness derails which is basically half the fun.

I'd be fine with longer shows, but you guys should bring back the games (maybe add some new ones to change it up?) and Favourite/Least Favourite (I know you did it this week but it'd probably be better if you'd planned something beforehand) rather than doing the recaps. I have to say I always love when someone's like 'lets end the show' and I see on my player that there's 30+ minutes left on the file.

The anniversary was a fun show though! Was kinda hoping we'd get a final tally on who won the Manflurry Game that's been going on since almost the beginning though.

On the last BnV, Bryan mentioned a TNA match between two undefeated wrestlers where the loser of the match stayed undefeated. Any idea? The only people I can think of it happening with were Joe and Christian, but anyone else have any ideas?

Crimson and someone? I can't think of who else had an undefeated streak in TNA though I'm sure there's others.

Nah i could believe they gave Gunner a streak and handwaved away his past as a security goon. That's probably it.

I listened to the Pisscast, and you guys who do it have good chemistry together and make good points. The shows a little long though, and I think it would benefit from removing the Raw recap and just talking about what you liked and didn't like instead. There's no need to comment on every segment, like every other podcast seems to do.


I like the segment-by-segment stuff, it helps remind me of what I already forgot happened on RAW :saddowns:

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
The Pisscast needs to be longer!

For a new game, how about "Who said it?" I'll listen through the archives, compile a bunch of quotes and you guys guess who said them.

Xerzes posted:

He grew up in Russia so he'd just watch lovely dubbed action films (and Thunder in Paradise!) and as far as he knew Hogan was just another action star like Arnold Schwarzenegger. When he got into wrestling I don't think he watched WCW until it got hot with the nWo, and he turned on for the PPV where THE THIRD MAN was revealed. When Hogan shows up and everybody is surprised to see Hogan, Koslov was surprised too but for entirely different reasons.

There's also an amazing story about one of his friends when he was a kid basically being tortured by his parents to "break his spirit" because he ran wild and would bully other kids. Anderson and Rocky are laughing the entire time but in a "holy poo poo is he actually telling us this story what the Christ?" way.

Gallows is less shocked because he's drunk off his rear end and pissing everybody off.

I really enjoyed the Wrestling Observer interview with Matt Farmer. Farmer's appearance on MLW was a waste IMO since Court didn't know anything about what Farmer was talking about but Dave could actually keep up. I think a show with Cornette would be great.
