I suppose I will listen to that one. I actually subscribed to giant bomb for the powerbombcast, but they are so infrequent and Jeff is so loving negative on twitter about it, i haven't even listened to one.

It's pretty funny because of how dumb it is. Every month you get to listen to Dan Ryckert be foolishly optimistic, Jeff complain that wrestling isn't enough like 2000-era Nitro and that one guy who thinks Roman Reigns should literally become the Undertaker 2.

This may or may not be correct.

In fairness, we all might be wishing for Reigns as Undertaker 2 after Wrestlemania this Sunday.

My favorite was that guy who would not shut the gently caress up about how Randy Orton stared at him for about a second and a half at a SD taping a few years back. Can't remember if that was on 411mania or the F4W page.

I vaguely recall that whoever it was kept referring to how Randy would make eye-contact, or nod in appreciation or laugh at something he shouted, or otherwise stop to acknowledge that "I, Randy Orton, believe that this guy in the crowd is pretty drat cool".

As a longtime GB supporter, I've learned that outside of games (And largely within games as well) Gerstmann has terrible taste.

very true, I like Jeff because he is a funny guy not because he is a person whose opinions I value

All in all, that podcast was a good listen, I recommend it. It is very structured, so no JR rants in it, and since it is an interview, there aren't really any bad wrestling opinions from Jeff or Giancarlo.

I still hate the character Randy Orton, but somehow, someway, I think that Randall Keith Orton has just earned my respect.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Powerbombcast is good simply for the fact that there's some variety amongst the opinions whereas everything is the loving same in the talk-about-wrestling area. Ironically Meltzer and Alvarez also stray away from the echo chamber fairly often.

If you are someone who still syncs your iphone, if you subscribe to Observer/Giant Bomb/Other Password Protected Podcasts, itunes will DL them and put them in the app. Obviously not as convenient as OTA but it works and is free.

I like Randy Orton when he's allowed to mess with the crowd. THERE'S NO BELL and that whole story from the house show with the WE WANT TABLES chanters are great and I wish he could do that more on TV.

This entire thing is amazingly awful, oh I didn't care about part of the show so I ate popcorn and masturbated in the bathroom, I figured that was important to include in my spoilers. I was also wearing a green shirt, just in case you were wondering. I'd had two bowel movements that day, so I was feeling light as a feather, which really let me pop out of my seat for Christian's entrance. He was looking really good, and I asked if I could rub his back, he gave me a weird look, I think he was really happy someone suggested it. This smackdown was great!

It got posted awhile ago, and I'm too lazy to find it, but as I recall, he was wrestling someone at a house show (or maybe a dark match?) and some guys kept chanting "WE WANT TABLES" throughout the match. So at some point he pulls out a couple tables and starts setting them up, the guys start cheering, then he looks at them, laughs, and puts them away. Or something like that.

Because why fake what you can do really easily with no danger to you? It's not like it is dangerous to walk with some pebbles in your shoe, it just sucks for a minute.
