people w/ observer, hehu informed me last night of a matt riddle update, apparently xpac and meltzer are wowed by how he's coming along as a pro-wrassler

can anyone either tell me what was said or copy/paste it depending on if it was text or audio or w/e


Waltman said he was really impressive, great look, really athletic, had a "great aptitude for the business" and was picking up on the in-ring stuff very well.

Meltzer had heard good things about him attitude wise but was pretty much in the dark on the rest.

I've come around on Todd a bit. He still acts like he's incapable of being wrong, but he approaches things a bit differently, which is refreshing by that point in the week.

Is it actually a live interview? I wasn't sure on that, like with the Vince one they could have taped it a bit earlier and just aired it after.

Yeah... that's the point. If they continue to boo Reigns then he turns on Bryan (and fans) and goes with Heyman. Now Roman has a someone to do his interviews, and Daniel Bryan is back chasing the title. People could buy Roman being a strong sellout heel champion with Heyman pulling the strings.

It's a win/win

Yeah, and the best thing about it is: You have Bryan legit doing thirty minutes matches with Reigns and teaching him the ropes and doing good ring work with him. You have Heyman maybe making sure those scripts are so loving chiseled in stone for Reigns.

Any of the Bruno Sammartino interviews on Observer Radio. There is a Paul Heyman interview from the time of Lou Albano's death that is must listen. As for current stuff listen to Observer Radio, Bryana and Vinny and FFD with Dr. Lucha. Skip the Todd shows and the Lance shows unless you like Lance's analysis or Todd and Bryan being morons.

Check out the most recent Sin Limite show with Dave and Mike. If you like the format, go back and listen to the old ones. They're probably the most evergreen of the audio shows, because at least half of each episode is Dave answering a shitload of mailbag questions about wrestling history. At one point last winter I downloaded every single Sin Limite and sat there listening to a marathon while playing Sleeping Dogs. I haven't missed one since.

Is Austin's most recent podcast mis-numbered? He has #189 out for both Clean and Unleashed, but one is Court Bauer and the other is Wade Keller, and the Clean/Unleashed ones usually alternate numbers.

I think I may be going to re-listen to these as well. There may be more Brunos that I'm missing.

I believe it's the 2011 Christmas Show where Bryan gets so ridiculously smashed he ends up running the walls of the studio like they're ropes. Then either 2012 or 2013 Vinny got so drunk he was out of action for nearly a week.

Austin seemed really happy with all the NXT guys. The best bit was right near the end of the podcast where he praised the ref in the Zayn/Neville match though.

I liked it a lot because honestly, it's not something that anyone really thinks about. You take the ref being there as just part of the furniture, so to speak, but it shows that Austin has a good mind for taking in every aspect of a match.
