Bischoff became a hot take machine when WWE started paying him again to sit in catering. Its a living.

Wow, Bully Ray is such a nuanced person. He's not all about the heat. Sometimes he just wants to plain suck too.

lol Bubba can shut the gently caress up. I loved the AE as much as the next 90s kid but maybe someone should tell him that the bullshit he's spewing has a lot to do with why any number of his contemporaries ended up under dirt before the age of 40.

Bubba Ray can eat poo poo while he's shutting the gently caress up. Who the gently caress is he to play morality police with Mox saying "gently caress" when the poo poo he spewed out of the sphincter grafted on to his fat loving face every time he held a mic in ECW in his stupid fat hands is a matter of record.

Busted Open radio was one of the worst wrestling shows I'd ever heard in my life. The two original hosts were just loud dumbasses that liked to yell at and shout down callers. Then they added Bubba Ray and Tommy Dreamer as rotating hosts and it was like some kind of punishment you'd get subjected to in hell.

I didn't read the article but when I saw Bubba Ray involved I instantly assumed he wanted Mox to apologize for going to rehab and cheating the fans out of something. Because he's a loving moron.

In fairness he says Moxley doesn't actually owe anyone an apology and the promo was great as is. He seems to just think a more traditionally sincere and emotional promo would have been more "endearing." But as a fan of that kind of thing I think it misses the fact that Mox's "go gently caress yourself" energy is definitely what's working these days and plays as sincere as anything else. If I were try to understand Bully Ray's mind I'd assume he just has a block for "heel heat" as a tool to make a crowd mad so Mox using the same kind of thing and being over as a face is a disconnect for him.

I liked it because it was both uplifting and showed a level of pathos that he hasn't shown in years. I liked the original pre-WWE Moxley character because he was a guy around my age who was messed up. Him fixing himself (in one regard) while still having one hell of an edge is the natural progression.

Cornette, Russo, Ray, Disco, and Madden are the big ones that always spring to mind when it comes to terrible opinions on wrestling that were actually involved in wrestling. I'd put Brad Shepard in that group too but he seems to have had no actual involvement in wrestling and it's more fun to watch him desperately claim he's anyone relevant while no-one listens to his podcast and dunks on him on Twitter.

My least favorite Kind Of Guy is “The Objective Business-Knower.” At least the lunatic stans will just say something sucks—they got a right to an opinion—but these dopes couch everything behind “*actually* this is bad for business” despite having no track record of success this millennium. Just say you’re ripping a guy because you don’t like him, don’t pretend you can read a P&L or a network contract!

Cornette, Russo, Bubba, et al are all products of a time when AM radio hosts actually had listeners. Bubba’s comment about Mox apologizing for going to rehab is absolutely awful and I hope TK has his goons lean on Sirius.

https://twitter.com/TheJimCornette/status/1492114277393702914?cxt=HHwWhIC5xfOBh7UpAAAA a 1 hour and 44 minute match with 13 and a half minutes of rest periods sounds awful. someone should steal the oxygen spot though.

Jarrett's actually pretty interesting but I think he'd be more so without Hey Hey. Jarrett would certainly need somebody to bounce off of but for some reason Conrad's shtick is tiring with Jarrett who feels like the most enthusiastic of his podcast line. Just let the man go and talk about stuff, my guy. There was a bit early on where I realized how communicable the brain rot from being around Vince can be, though. They were talking about how nice it was Vince let Jarrett have time off to be with his wife who was sick with cancer which I'm sure we can all agree is the human thing to do and they both verbally gush about how Vince always does right when it comes to a wrestler's family and in the very next segment talk about how Jeff couldn't get his guarantee that year and was going to be about 100K+ shy because he didn't make the required dates without a hint of irony.

So, are there actually any good wrestling podcasts? I occasionally check out Meltzer & co via YouTube clips, but the last wrestling podcast I listened to was so long ago they were still called radio programs. Between the Ropes, I think? Man, it was good.

I occasionally check out Meltzer & co via YouTube clips, but the last wrestling podcast I listened to was so long ago they were still called radio programs. I like Between The Sheets, where they do a "this week in wrestling history" sort of thing, picking one year & going through the newsletters & dirtsheets to go through the results & news from that week, they often play clips from that weeks TV to illustrate a point being talked about by Meltzer or whoever. I find it very interesting & entertaining, they often have interesting guests on, promoters, wrestlers, fans. But boy are the shows long. For example, last weeks episode covered Feb 2-8, 1993 & the episode is 5 hours 50 minutes. The previous episode was Jan 26-Feb 1 1999 & was 6 hours 52. I have no loving idea how Bix & Kris have managed to do nearly 350 weekly episodes of a podcast that even on a short week is about 3 hours long & presumably takes even longer to put together all the notes. I dunno, there's a few others that I frequently listen to that cover my areas of interest: Eastern Lariat which focuses on a bit of puro potpourri, you'll hear chat about Big Japan & Freedoms along side Stardoms & DDT & NOAH. Open The Voice Gate is a Dragongate focused podcast that I always catch, Emerald FloShow is a newer podcast that covers current All Japan & NOAH but I like what I've heard from the 1st episode. There's an ROH historical watchalong podcast, ThROH the Years that I enjoy, although I'm far from up to date on that. There are similar for PWG & Shimmer that I don't really keep up with but I enjoy the concepts. There's probably too many good wrestling podcasts for the work-from-home era.

My favorite part of between the sheets is falling behind a few weeks and being able to skip several shows because they cover times before I was born.

He's as far from some kind of manly man as you can get and he's trying to gatekeep what being masculine is like any of that matters in this day and age.

Smart Wrestling Fan is good if what you want is an in depth review podcast. Marty And Sarah Love Wrestling is gentle wrestling talk with characters from a stand up comedian and an improv comedian (Marty DeRosa and Sarah Shockey). Never Openpod is a fun New Japan podcast that I would be mentioning as good even if I didn't do the New Japan Strong review for them.
