Seconded on Virtual Pros. Here's a description of that, and another wrestling podcast I enjoy, in the format of the OP. Virtual Pros: A pro wrestling show for "real people", Al & Mike are fans who come from the VHS tape trading era. They love Japanese wrestling merch and indie wrestling road trips, they hate most Internet Wrestling Fans, but they design some pretty sweet t-shirts. Every week, they talk the wrestling world, their own likes and dislikes, and the latest additions to the VRTLPROS Mixtape, an ongoing playlist on YouTube of random matches, weird wrestling ephemera, and YouTube shooters. The Rough House Podcast: Justin is the host of a major market morning radio show. Christoff is the ex production guy at the same station, who had to abandon his dreams of broadcasting. Together, they tear apart the world of wrestling every week, but usually end up complaining about their lives in incredibly filthy ways. Enjoy!

Endless Mike posted:I stopped listening to this one after they spent half an episode complaining that not enough people supported their Patreon. Fair - they (Justin in particular) got real lovely about the Patreon for a while there. FWIW, it's barely mentioned these days.

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.

Dango Bango posted:Booking has always been terrible, but the real turn was when Brock left and no one could get over more than THE BRAND. The attitude era would have been like current day WWE (minus being PG) if they had kneecapped Austin, The Rock, etc. Yep. It was the one-two punch of Brock and Lashley. After that, it was all the "build up then break down" booking to "see if they REALLY want it"...which then got turn into the 50/50 booking we love today.

I think Bix explained that he tried selling Uncle Dave and Bryan on this in the past, but Dave really should focus on writing articles – even longform – for the site, then make the physical newsletter a compendium of those articles. The ever shifting landscape has to be killing the guy. (And I'm a guy who really loves the process of shooting the new Observer into Instapaper every Thursday and taking the time to read it on my iPad.)

rovert posted:He had a long-standing book deal on the table from a major publisher. But has since said he'd never write it as it would take him away from writing the Observer. I know it's a different era now, but straight up, as a subscriber, I'd be cool with Dave not doing the Observer for a month (because, let's be honest, as much as he writes on a weekly basis, he'd probably get the manuscript done then) so we could get a VKM book.

In a rare instance, I thought Dave was being hyperbolic and I found myself agreeing more with Bryan, re: AEW stars being "actually over" or just "live over". Anyone who is watching Dynamite can tell from the presentation and the crowd reaction who the stars are. Darby and Marko got made last night.

I swear, if someone competent got into the tech side of F4W/WON, Bryan and Dave’s minds would be blown. Memberful for memberships, WordPress as a CMS, Libsyn for Podcast hosting... Hell, maybe Dave could post Observer articles as he writes them, Paywalling those articles, and compiling then as the Newsletter each week...

Lead Pipe Cinch posted:I jumped in on the Black Friday deal. Is there an easy way to download the podcasts straight to an iPhone? I have only ever used the Podcasts app before and am hoping to avoid downloading to my computer and syncing because I am lazy. I use Overcast - let’s me add password protected feeds without issue, and it has some good “smart speed” and “smart volume” options which help with listening overall. Free app, only IAP is to turn off the really, frankly nice ads.

I know, broken record, but every time Bryan goes "and we are TOTALLY out of time", and I remember it's due to a weird quirk of WON/F4W's weird rear end hosting, I get completely unnecessarily frustrated. Move that poo poo to Libysn, password protect it, and let it go AS LONG AS THE SAN JOSE STEAMROLLER DEMANDS

Eat My Fuc posted:Lots of good stuff in the observer in regards to the current daily news, but I'm sorry the bit where Dave claims WWE approached him to write Vince McMahon's biography is completely bullshit, I have no idea why he would lie about that but there's just no way it's true. I don't think that's what he said. quote:Simon & Schuster has commissioned a book tentatively titled “Ringmaster” which would be an outsider biography of Vince McMahon, scheduled for a 2022 release. Abraham Riseman, who just finished a project called “True Believer, The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee,” will be the author. The company had come to me with that idea a few months ago and pitched it hard. It wasn’t the time for me to add more work. At this stage I can’t imagine doing any kind of a book for at least eight years and money wasn’t even a consideration. I would possibly do a movie just because it’s a different life experience but I don’t expect that will transpire. I think "the company" there means Simon & Schuster, not WWE.

Its absolutely zero excuse, but it's a bummer that Dave doesn't address certain topics with an idea of "I am out of my element and don't know how to comment", instead of his 3am stream-of-consciousness ramblings which we get.
