REALLY pissed off...
It makes me irrationally angry that they don't like the idea of only lighting the ring during all the Takeover matches.

The lighting gave it the feeling of a big event, and was great.

The way the belt was specifically lit for the ladder match was especially awesome.

when Konnan's weed kicks in he usually says some pretty smart stuff. Konnan and Court Bauer mulling over business stuff is a lot more listenable than Alverez/Meltzer pairings. Though, I'm starting to think Court Bauer is not so smart.

I really enjoy the point in each episode where you wonder which method of murder Konnan would choose if he was in the same room as MSL. The most recent one was last week when MSL said that he doesn't like the in-ring aspect of wrestling.

I thought Konnan's head was going to explode. Also that was the moment I realized, as a new listener, that MSL is full of poo poo.

Court has his moments, but he overestimates himself a LOT. Konnan's awesome though, and overall MLW tries my patience way less than Bryan Alvarez these days.

I'll listen to Cornette's podcast every so often, but I tried to listen to a Disco Inferno show a few months back and made it about 4 minutes in before I had to shut it off, it was so bad.

Same. Disco is an idiot, and he's not even fun to listen to. I do like Cornette's podcast most of the time though, and the Drive-Thru is usually fun since it's him answering fan letters and such. His co-host is thicker than a whale omelet, though.

As long as it doesn't have Disco, Alex Greenfield, or Ed Ferrara isn't on it, I'll listen to a MLW show. Cornette's drive thru is generally 30 minutes of Cornette talking about wrestling, which is great. I think I've heard him rant enough on Conservatives.

Alice Radley exists solely for keeping Cornette from saying anything that might get Court sued. Oh and run Skype for jim.

That's a good point, and she does have a nice radio voice, so there's that too.

I actually don't mind Alex Greenfield all that much - as far as ex-WWE writers go, he's not as prone to bragging about his sick Twitter burns as guys like Court or, worse, Dave Lagana.

He said "I think WWE is doing a much better job right now than New Japan. In overall presentation and everything like that...but when it comes to booking finishes New Japan is far better. That's the one thing they're way better at."
