I can’t imagine anything Undertaker could do to harm his legacy more than starting a podcast. Everything I’ve read suggests he’s a tedious macho bully IRL and a podcast would just air that out for all to see.

Why does Meltzer want to die on the hill of “I am entitled to know what is wrong with Roman Reigns” as though it’s a real sport or any of his business.

I think you're projecting entitlement into what was really just a criticism of using a health update for a ratings boost.

I just.. I cant imagine what Undertaker podcast would even be like. He has two interesting stories he can hype, (hiac with Mick and losing to Lesnar) after that its just.. boring stuff.

Plus with Conrad there, i imagine that they will be reading old observers and poo poo on Meltz.

On the other hand, Taker doing a podcast with Conrad launching at the con around Double Or Nothing will likely cause Vince to melt down even more.

STOP DOING HEROIN
Considering that Conrad just lost his biggest gravy train, I can absolutely see him glomming on to Taker for the latest round of "rehash 20-year-old stories and complain about Meltzer" that he's somehow turned into an honest-to-God media empire.

I mean you wouldn’t have convinced me Stone Cold doing a podcast and reading those ad lines was a thing either if I hadn’t already heard it

With Stone Cold at least he had a history of being incredibly entertaining on the mic, which translated well to the podcast (Jericho too) - a lot of Taker's appeal was his physical presence which is basically going to be invisible on a podcast.

That's why Conrad is there, to help set up talking points and move the narrative along. It wouldn't be about him being a big ol' spook either. Any interest I'd have in listening would be Mark Calloway recounting his pretty unique career in the business.

Again, I'd bet against it being anything great, but it easily could be.

As always mileage may vary with writers especially in this, a place where writers won't last long at all. But I always thought Schilling did good work with Grantland, Vice, and even Bleacher Report. Podcast listeners may recall he used to cohost The Masked Man Show. And the place I best remember him from isn't wrestling or even sports-related (BirthMoviesDeath). He loved Get Out and liked Game Night, so he's fine in my book :thumbsup:

There's been the ongoing joke in the thread for a while that everyone in wrestling is getting in on the wrestling podcast boom. A Taker one really would feel like the moment that's obvious, like he's definitely one of the last people you'd expect to have one of these

I would agree with that if it was five years ago, but he's been more and more blatant about not giving a poo poo about his mystique for a few years now. Too many candids of him and Michelle in scuba gear and what not.

Flair getting one, short-lived as it was, was that moment for me. Taker is almost overkill at this point.

Flair at least has proven with his book/s that he has entertaining stories (or at least that he can be entertaining telling them). I hesitate to say it made sense, but to me it made more sense than this

He never said that. He’s annoyed that an update on a legitimate cancer issue is used as a ratings ploy.

Imagine if a football team had its QB get cancer during the off-season and they advertised ‘get an update on qb’s diagnosis at the game on Sunday’ as a ploy for tv ratings or ticket sales. The sports media would loving destroy that team for such a carny move and, I think, rightfully so. Dave thinks the same standard should apply to wwe.

Predictably, Dave has worded his criticism in a way that confused people and/or made it extremely easy for people to misinterpret his message. He puts a poorly worded comment on Twitter, then clarified it on his podcast. That’s were a lot of this drama comes from.
