Specifically GLAAD contacted Turner Broadcasting, told them the Lenny character was offensive and they were assured Lenny and Lodi would be dropped. Weeks later they watched again, saw they were back, contacted Turner Broadcasting again and Standards and Practices stepped in. That's why Russo renamed them Standards and Practices. I have no idea where Lid got his bullshit story the S&P thing was well known because RUSSO MADE IT A GIMMICK.

coconono posted:I'm really curious how TNA-paid(lol) media would frame the first few years of the company. Most the TV spots when they talked about it were kinda handwavey like "we had a bunch of cool stars come through and they paved the way for the current crop of talent" kind of stuff. I think their podcast is going to start at 2004 sometime but IDK because I am never going to listen to it

Clearly my memory of it was hosed, especially as it was dropped after they won the title rather than before and it started pre-Russo. I apologise, im entirely wrong and i based this on how i remembered it going down more on the phantom title switch to Psychosis when they dropped the ginmick.

"Match canceled because one guy didn't want to pretend that he was banging his mom anymore" and "no match due to rear end tattoo" are all-time highlights of the Vinny V Monday Night War Finish Report.

The Vader breaking news audio goes some places you would never expect, it's great. Some stories they haven't told since the eyada days.

Tom has mostly been good recently, but he did use the four letter R word rather uncomfortably today describing the Steiners match, if that bothers you.

There's only one four letter word beginning with R that I think would make people uncomfortable, hint, bad people say it a lot in video games when they "owned" a fellow player and it's not really a good word to be using when describing a pro wrestling match.

Something's definitely wrong with the Observer's RSS feed. How all the free podcasts never have problem with RSS but the Observer does every few months, I'll never know.

I don't really understand what backwards rear end-hosting they use. Should just move to libsyn like 99% of the podcasts worth a drat.

Austin is interviewing Enzo on his podcast next week  On brighter news, Dave Meltzer is on Jericho's and Rhyno is on Edge and Christian's  mariooncrack posted:I think you mean Omeego and Ocato Also it was somehow apparently like 5 minutes long in her universe?

I might pop a listen on the Enzo podcast out of ghoulish interest but I doubt Austin will verbally body him or anything. I might, depends on how quickly it turns into "geez, women are crazy y'know?" poo poo. Speaking of verbally bodying, if you ever listen to one Vince Russo interview, make sure its the one from Roddy Piper's podcast. Piper reamed him for like a good 45 minutes.

Austin had Chavo Guerrero on his podcast which was an interesting listen, mostly for the two of them raving about how great it is being a member of SAG and all the benefits that a Union provides without seemingly being able to take that chain of thought to its next logical conclusion.
