And then another thing

Hit hard like brass knuckles

was it recorded before he got sacked?

That would be a pretty impressive coincidence. Jericho just happens to interview the ring announcer right before he gets let go?

You gotta think the audience for a Justin Roberts interview would be way bigger with him having just left the company. Maybe Jericho just got lucky with his timing.

It's part of an episode with the Miz so it's possible that he did a quick tag at the end on Skype or something. He's got tons of interviews in the can though.

The beauty of Austin's show is that he could do a sober, analytic breakdown of the psychology of the match and it'd be amazing, or he could do an over-the-top, Austin vs The Fly style play by play of the match and it would also be amazing.

Also very candid about his fall from grace.

I don't normally follow MMA, but I've heard of Sonnen. It's true that he's really entertaining and I'll definitely check into his podcast again.

I couldn't help but notice that he's a very stubborn man and insisting on toughing his drug test problems out will probably not do him any favours with the media.

I can see why you would say that. Her shoot interview is a lot better. More long form and face to face communication. So the nerves aren't a factor. Nice, smart woman with a real story to tell. Daughter of a legendary and fierce Wrestling promoter.

Her son Max McGuirk had the same FCW/NXT story as a lot of people. Nonsense Demott drills and two concussions.

I'm about 15 minutes in and she's kind of struggling to stay on point a lot. When she does, it seems pretty interesting, but she really loses her track of thought easily.

Bryan's love of chain restaurants is in full effect in today's F4D. One of my favorite B&V moments is when he tried to describe a tier of restaurant quality and couldn't come up with a 4 star restaurant so he said Olive Garden.

I know I'm a little behind but did anyone listen to the Awesome Kong interview from last week?

Maybe it was just me but it seemed like Brian didn't get why a black woman being named Kong would be considered racist.

I can't remember which Karl Stern show it was from last week but the ending was pretty depressing too.

This is late in the game since I download F4W podcasts and listen to them when I can at work, but on Sunday's B&V, I laughed when Bryan was so proud of his MMAth telling him he was better than Cena and Brock, only for Vinny to proudly announce that he had beaten Bryan.

And then on Tuesday's B&V&C show I almost died when they talked about Undertaker shouting "gently caress!" in the Kronik match.

Also, considering how many fans it ended up losing, it seems like a pretty good turn and stuff but I guess it just was destined to never work.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

I'm sorry if this has been posted/discussed in the main WWE thread but I didn't see it here and it is so loving funny. The first paragraph is such a Dave thing to say, and the second is loving hilarious. Vince is crazy.

Big Dave via the latest Observer posted:

So I got Jericho’s book right as I was finishing this issue. I wasn’t even going to open the package until after being done, because I’ve read his other books, and it was like, the minute I start, that’s it, no issue this week. But my mom came over and decided to open the package and put the book right in front of me where I was going to eat dinner. So it’s there, staring me in the face, and I’m going, I will not open this book until later in the week. So I’m eating, and it’s like, okay, I’ll just open it, read one page, and no matter what, that’s it. So I open and it’s page 120, talking about the angle with Mickey Rourke and WrestleMania, which I actually know better than all but a few people given that Frank Shamrock, who Rourke hired as his bodyguard, wanted me to go to Houston with him for Mania, but my rule of thumb of never attending Mania live (because the Mania issue is the biggest of the year, and yes, I will break the rule in 2015), I said I was too busy. Plus, he had a fight a week later against Nick Diaz and his ribs were jacked, so he didn’t need to go to Houston either.

Anyway, Jericho had to explain to Rourke that when he was on Larry King with him, he was just an actor building up a confrontation for Mania. Rourke thought all the insults were a shoot and brought Shamrock and Moti Horenstein (a former UFC fighter who was a member of the Israeli special forces) with him. Anyway, there were no problems and everyone was cool with everyone. Except Horenstein, who was still mean mugging. Before the match, Jericho told Vince about how Rourke hired two bodyguards to kick his rear end if he double-crossed Rourke in the ring. Vince started laughing, and said, “Are you kidding me? Those guys?” Vince said, “You me, Finlay and Malenko would’ve beat the poo poo out of them. I mean, look at that one guy, he’s a midget.” The midget was Shamrock. Jericho smiled at Vince and said, “Well, if anything goes down, I’ll take Rourke and you take the midget.” “drat right I will,” Vince said as he swaggered away.

Thanks for brinigng that to my attention. I basically read all the NJPW stuff last night and skipped over everything else last night, and I sometimes forget to go back and read the rest. Very interesting issue this week.

And yeah, you can't help but read that first paragraph in Dave's voice.
