Probably!

Have the Pisscast guys taken a hiatus? I need my fix of wrestling, Mass Effect and Dragon Age talk.

That link keeps "finishing" the download at around 11mb, even after it says it's supposed to be around 160.

HOWEVER, I managed to get this link to work for me. It wasn't particularly fast, but it got there in the end. This isn't the first time I've had problems getting the whole file of a podcast from Colt's website, and not the first computer I've had problems on, so I assume it's not just me.

Same problem. Link above from tsn cuts off at the 73 minute mark. But so far so good through 73 minutes. Punk is pissed.

If you keep trying that direct link eventually it'll finish. It's an incredible interview. The pacing is perfect too, slowly building up to the crescendo of the day after Rumble that he quit.

They're doing a second part next week, answering fan questions and whatnot, so that should be interesting to hear too.

Dave hasn't heard the podcast yet so Bryan's reading notes to him, alternating beteween laughing at how stupid some of the decisions Vince and Hunter made with the odd refuting of some of Punk's points (like how despite Punk feels, losing to Taker in a great match at Wrestlemania wasn't a bad thing).

After the match I went to Ryback and said "Are you dumb as gently caress or did do that on purpose?" He looked at me and said "I'm dumb as gently caress."

Not an exact quote but it's worth a listen to hear Bryan tell it. I have never laughed so hard at anything in wrestling. I gotta go listen to this whole interview now.

I believe the guy who raked Punk's eyes in the Nexus angle was Darren Young.

You can see Young reach down with his left hand while Bryan has Punk in a chinlock.

Jesus WWE sounds like the worst company to work for. Between the McMahons getting their dicks hard by forcing creative staff to act like weak underlings and HHH being passive-aggressive and lame, to the pay structure, to the lack of insurance, it's amazing that anyone wants to work there.

He hints at nothing and is open about everything. HHH is named and shamed pretty bad and made to seem like a petty politicking rear end in a top hat.

Fav bit of it:

HHH: You know Dave had to do the same piss test when he came in.

CM Punk: Did you?

HHH:...

It's 1 1/2 hours of naming names & pointing fingers.

The only person he didn't name was the guy who's on 2 strikes on the Wellness Policy but "still does drugs" because they want to look the other way.

some bust on that guy: Jan 21, 2006; This avatar was paid for by the Silent Majority.

What a promo. Just read this if you don't know if you should watch it or not. This is what CM Punk said he told HHH and Vince on the night he walked out.

quote:

"I looked Vince in the eye and I said, 'I do not love this anymore. I'm f----- sick, I'm f------ hurt, I'm f------ confused, I don't know as a business what we're doing anymore. Every day you tell me it's a team effort, but every day it's an individual effort by me to find what's necessary to even f-n come here. It's not fun. I have zero passion for this. I'm concussed, I'm hurt, and alls you care about is what segment I'm in and how soon I can get my gear on and how soon I can pee in this cup and I don't want to do it anymore.'

"I mentioned something about the piss test and Hunter said, 'Well, you know, Dave (Batista) just took the same piss test you did.' And I just looked at Hunter and went, 'Well, did you?' And he had nothing to say. I said (to McMahon), 'Look, I thought when I re-signed three years ago I told you if I couldn't be all that I said I could be, you could f----- fire me. And, if I was a fraud and anything less and fell short of the f------ mark - I said, 'I sold more shirts than John Cena until I turned heel for you. You said you owed me one. I worked guys that were dangerous and you said you owed me one. I did all these things and alls I wanted was the main event of WrestleMania. And it's fine if you don't think that is me and I'm not the caliber of that Superstar, but then you need to f------ fire me. Because I do not want to be here and I do not want to be anything else.' And then I will go somewhere else and get over because I can.

"You have shackled me, you have creatively stifled me, you have made this a very toxic environment, I no longer want to be here. It boggles my mind how Daniel Bryan has not figured into your plans to be in the main event of WrestleMania because this is his year. Just like two years ago when it was my year and I was white f----- hot, just like he is now, and what did you do? You fed me to this guy.' And I pointed to right at Hunter. Vince was like, 'This is the concussion talking. I can't believe you're saying any of this. It is a main event - you're wrestling Triple H."

"I politely turned to Hunter and I said, 'With all due respect, I do not need to wrestle you. You need to wrestle me. I do not want to wrestle you. I seriously resent you for not putting me over three years ago when you should have. That would have been best for business. But, you had to come in and squash it. And then I had to lose to Truth and Miz. It didn't make any business sense and now I'm in the position where I can tell you I don't have to nor do I want to wrestle you at WrestleMania. I don't care if I was supposed to win - which I was - I didn't want to give him the f------ privilege.

"I said a lot of s--- in there. I told them again - and Hunter was gritting his teeth, and he never liked me. Me and him in a room together - it was always negative vibes."

"Hunter told me I was in the main event because I wrestled The Undertaker," Punk continued. "I turned to him and said, 'Tell me I got paid the same amount of money as you, Brock, Cena, Rock, or whoever.' And once again, he had nothing to say. I was like, 'I'm out of here.' Vince, with tears in his eyes, went in for a hug, and it was like a reluctant patting on the back, then I looked at Hunter and he stuck his hand out and I shook his hand. I said, 'Goodbye,' and I walked out."

The most mind boggling thing is that they were actually going to go with Batista vs Orton as the main event of WM. That wasn't just an act to make Bryan more over as they claimed? I figured it had to be since the original plan was so stupid. They expected that to work? I remember HHH had said to Foley to not judge a book before you see the ending. If HHH was wrestling Punk at WM, what was Daniel Bryan supposed to be doing?

The hilarious thing about HHH telling Punk that he was "in the main event" despite not being in the last match; is that Triple H politic'ed his rear end off to have the last match back in like '02 when he wrestled Jericho for the title, even though everyone and their mother knew that Rock/Hogan should have been the last match and was a million times bigger. He argued that he was the real main event because it was for the title and should have been the last match.

I listened to Punk's interview this morning, now I'm listening to Bryan recite the interview to Dave. It's a weird game of broken telephone.

Bryan's doing a great job though, every now and then I am reminded that he's actually quite good at podcasting (grading on a wrestling podcast curve)
