The latest episode of the NTPoS Wrestling Podcast (hosted by my friends and I) is up: http://ntpospodcast.com/

We talk about this week's terrible Raw and wind up having a lot of fun.

I'm not sure that "had" is the correct word. When the San Jose Steamroller gets moving, it's hard to slow it down.

The one in which JR upon learning his terminal cancer and had scant days to live, paid someone to murder him in Tijuana and plant the gun in his chief rivals safe deposit box so he would be charged with murder and completely ruined

It worked too.

I never watched the sequel but goddamn that owns.

Greatest Dallas moment of all time is when they filmed every character in the show shooting JR so that even they wouldn't know who shot JR, and they got Larry Hagman to do it too. He stands there holding a gun on himself and says,"You've had this coming a long time you son of a bitch!"

It's a lot of fun, if only for him recounting the time he got hauled into Wrestler's Court and slowly realized that everybody was taking it seriously except himself.

Also because he reveals to an agog Jericho that the night Mike Tyson guest-hosted and "punched" Jericho out, Tyson had been smoking weed in the writers' room before the show started.

Jericho's recent Flair interview is great, too. They managed to dig into subjects that Flair hasn't talked about a million times, like working in Japan and being world champion during the transition from shooter/tough guy champions to entertainers.

It's good if you like the Giant Bomb crew and want to hear their frequently pessimistic takes on pro wrestling but as a pro wrestling podcast I don't think it rates the way, say, their F1 podcast is a decent F1 podcast.

Hell, even if you like them it can be a weird listen. I love Jeff Gerstmann but his negative opinion of Enzo Amore is loving mind boggling.

Flair talking about Japan was really interesting. I thought a guy like Tsuruta was universally respected, but he just thought he was mediocre (and pretty dangerous) whereas he loved Tenryu.

Yes. With that said, I love everything Giant Bomb so I'm biased. I did get Kenny Omega in contact with them, so something might come of that in the future.

I get the feeling that Jumbo was respected by fans and some promoters, but the guys who had to work with him varied a little more.
