WON is almost always good if you want news and Dave’s opinion on important shows

B&V has the retro show, which everyone loves, the granny show which splits opinion, and the NWA show which apparently lots of people skip but it’s a great listen especially if you want to hear Bryan bury terrible 80s jobbers

Pacific Rim is fantastic

Filthy 4 is terrible, Observer Live is terrible, both because Bryan’s co hosts are insufferable

filthy 4 is the best show on the network.

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.
Cole is not a great announcer who can call a match anywhere and make it huge, but he is definitely the all time best at doing the weird WWE PR/Vince Sermons/Advertising/Match Calling hybrid with a straight face that has taken hold in the WWE over the years.

So he's the best of all time at doing bad announcing?

If you watched the year+ of heel Michael Cole you would have zero regrets on saying you would be happy if he went away forever.

I don't much care for the newsletter and it's just a big text dump that's kinda inconvenient to navigate but the audio is worth the subscription price imo. Kinda crummy that they're charging extra for video but whatever.

I'll read the newsletter when a big story is happening but yeah in general I just stick to the (massive amount of) audio. I'm happy they keep the video stuff separate because I'd never bother with it, but it does bug me that one of the reasons they stopped doing songs is because their entire video channel got suspended once for like a 30 second piece of music and now Bryan won't risk that happening again.

Same. One of the ideas he's had for while he can't type is to do shows every day and post a text summary along with them. Sounds like the best of both worlds IMO.

They definitely increased the amount of gestures they do as well. It may only be slightly, but the video has negatively impacted the podcasts.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
It seems weird that several podcasts are switching to video when the last few years of journalism job holocaust have shown us that most people actually do not want videos at all and the entire "pivot" to video was a big con game of internet advertising and big corps wanting to lay people off. Additionally, your entire revenue source can be cut off instantly by a DMCA takedown request (like Bryan got) or Youtube TOS changes.

I love podcasts because they are convenient and I can listen to them almost anywhere. I'm have no desire to watch Bryan and Vinny sit in chairs and discuss wrestling or watch fat guys sitting in chairs discussing bad movies.

Thats the only video i've bought.

I drive around alot due to work so having access to a massive archive plus the near daily content means i can load up on loads of content for the drive so thats worth the few quid a month in my eyes.

Pretty much. Although I find it interesting that WWE has created their own style of announcing that is so detached from what normal wrestling announcing is that it can flummox good announcers who can call just about anything.

And yeah heel Cole was terrible.

It wasn't anything terrible on its own, but it was just a regular stream of comments that actively distracted from anything that was happening.

Enough comments that you couldn't miss it, but not enough that it became generic white noise.
