I co-host a podcast that I know some on here are aware of called Smart Wrestling Fan. I promise you it's not as smarky as it sounds! It was actually the first wrestling podcast on iTunes too, I believe, we've been doing weekly shows for almost 6 years now.

Please don't hate me for plugging my own show but I loved it when I was just a listener and then I became a co-host and I'd like to think that it's still good!

This is where it's at folks.

Bryan's NXT rant always gets me.

On Lagana's new podcast he interview Robert Flores, Sportscenter anchor. I was BLOWN AWAY by the poo poo he knew. The dude is a real wrestling fan.

He's the guy who says Batista Bomb whenever Jose Bautista hits a home run, btw.

You want famous people? Uhh... well... Dave Prazak listens to Smart Wrestling Fan and is in our live Stickam chat during the show sometimes!

I listen to SWF anyway, but the problem with the show is actually Joe's sources. Where in the blue hell does he find them? The dirtsheets are sites like Wrestling Observer and PWInsider, not NoDQ or wherever he finds them. Meltzer is much more accurate than the free sites.

I dunno from the beginning it just sounded like a guy doing an impression to me. Like Jason Sensation.

Also the fact he would stay on for 10 minutes and respond to such comments as YOU NEVER BEAT BRET!!!

Ric Flair has an ego where he doesn't leave a conversation feeling like he's lost.

The latest episode has Piper on with Bret, then they get Flair on, and eventually Bret asks what is was like to wrestle Jim Londos and Flair loses it again.

I went ahead and got to reup today. You know when Dave said they were going to do Bound for Glory in Stanford on the show today? Thrashard on the board actually bought that apparently.

I'm not sure what's funnier, Dave's straitlaced nature or Thrashard (biggest Hogan mark) buying it.

Listening to the post-Summerslam Observer radio, and Jesus Christ Dave and Bryan's ignorance of things outside wrestling/MMA is unbearable sometimes.

Bryan doesn't know who Ron Artest is and Dave keeps, unironically, calling him "Ron Artiste".

When he said he was in a room with six sports fans who didn't know who Ron was, I couldn't believe it. If you don't know who he is, you aren't a basketball fan and I don't even watch.

Anyway, both Dave and Bryan are massive sperglords so no poo poo they get worked up too much about wrestling and can't have conversations like normal people. Comes with the territory of being a pro graps journalist, I guess.

Oh, Dave's fine talking about anything. Sometimes he might get caught up on something, but it's not an idiotic thing that Bryan starts his rage gimmick up on. Bryan knows less than half of the PSP.
