I haven't listened to Austin in a long time, did he ever get around to actually watching good wrestling and talking about it eg nxt or njpw or no

On the PWTorch Livecast he said he watched Ibushi vs Nakamura. He called it what he likes to call a ***3/4 match. As he felt the match didn't flow. Before anyone jumps on that. He was watching the English version of the show and a lot of people felt the English call of the match sucked a lot of the drama away from the story in the ring. Also he was full of the obvious praise for Nakamura. It wasn't him being an out of touch wrestler or anything like that.

Is Jericho's interview with Lanny Poffo of any value?

It's fine, Lanny tends to go off on tangents and Jericho has to draw him back to the original point, and Lanny's self-effacing thing can get a little old, but there are some neat stories and as Lanny warms up things get a lot better. More than anything though it hammers home just what an enormous and dominating presence Randy was in his life.

Also I really wish I could see the Terry Funk/Andre the Giant match he talks about.

I know Bix gets a lot of eyerolls around here, but I think the newsletter got drastically better (like from trash to eh I'll skim through it) when he took over and Alan and Mr. Lucha started contributing more. Bryan's a p bad writer outside of Death of WCW

I'm not really clear on what people's problem with Bix is other than his editorialising in the news updates where it's not appropriate - would anyone care to explain? I thought Cageside Seats used to be a pretty good site when he was running it and quickly went to poo poo when he left.

This has been getting a problem in later episodes. There are times when they seem so dismissive of a lot of later stuff. It's weird comparing them and the AEPodcast on that UK PPV that I can't remember now since the AE guys have a lot more fun with it while admitting the products shortcomings, while the OSW guys are just like 'This is boring and not funny so whatever'. The AE crew seem a lot more open-minded (And it goes both ways since two of them were convinced that the New Age Outlaws were awesome, and then slowly come to realise they're maybe not).

My disdain for him began when he made a giant fuss about Tanahashi going into the HoF and I believe threatened to submit a blank ballot to try to keep him out.

Bryans comment after he called in on the 23rd was spot on when he questioned how the promoters of Shine feel about someone like Ed trying to promote their iPPVs.

"We have the police reports."
"But how do you know how someone died if you don't see it?"
"None of the bodies had been cut into."
"Blackmail someone with the knife."
