That's a joke because someone said Dave looks like Dexter IIRC.

Konnan saw a picture of Meltzer from the 80's and thought he looked like Dexter.

Listen to the WO interview with JR if only for another tale of how Hodge was the strongest worker to ever work.

This. It's a great listen but it got depressing at the end when he was talking about how he doesn't think he'll have a chance at calling UFC or calling another pro wrestling match again.

Yeah, hell even the History of Wrestlemania had Foley a week before JR had him, though they covered largely different areas.

Has Jericho's show picked up? I listened to his first one with Austin and it didn't really connect with me, but that may have just been teething problems with his first show.

Both Chavo parts are really good but if you're only going to listen to one, just listen to part 2. It gets a little uncomfortable since they start talking about Benoit's final days but it's also p. interesting.

Anyone else listen to the Cyborg interview? If you haven't I'd pass on it. I don't think she said anything interesting and she had a hard time hearing/understanding Bryan and Dave. Cyborg wouldn't understand the question or certain words so Bryan and Dave just kept repeating the question of phrase she didn't understand like 3 or 4 times.

Yeah I could listen to JR talk, maybe once a month so he's not repeating himself so much, just on the things that he's been thinking about. No interviews, just views and reviews.


I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't listen to JR regularly. I remembered I got excited when I started listening to the Mick Foley interview because Foley was one of my favorite growing up but 40 minutes of JR rambling on about everything and talking about most things suck these days almost made me shut it off.

This is a few weeks late but did anyone listen to Goldberg on Jr's podcast? I downloaded it a little while back but just got around to it. Did he really compare playing football to being in a war? :psyduck:

I think the only mlw shows that I can stand as of late have been the Jim Cornette shows.

I don't care for Alex greenfield or ed Ferrara and after listening to konnan talk about getting high has gotten old.

Boom.

I can't remember the last time I heard court talk about being mentored by Gary hart or the Samoans so there's that.

The question someone asked Dave today about a rival promoter sticking a duplicate snake into the ring to "shoot" bite Randy Savage might be peak internet wrestling idiocy. I sincerely hope it was a joke just designed to make Dave sigh.

Haven't heard this but it can't be worse than during a sin limite someone asked if Bret would go along with the Montreal screwjob if it was a work to make him a giant babyface in WCW or something. I can't remember the question itself but I remember being baffled that anyone would think that that was possible.

I am really glad that Dave realizes that he and Bryan are not the average watcher for the network.


If anyone is interested in listening to more about Andy Kaufman, there's a old Marc maron interview with Bob Zmuda. It's interesting to listen to but a lot of sounds made up and exaggerated.

My problem with this is that it's buried within all the other news on the front page. You really have to look for it and it should be a much bigger issue than what they're making it out to be.

I enjoyed the ken shamrock interview for the most part. There were a lot of times when I was calling bullshit, like when he said he's still in the top 10% off the ufc. :psyduck:

I still don't know how I feel about the Bob shamrock bit. I'm leaning towards bullshit as well but I'm curious if Frank will ever comment on the issue.

No, the website just looks so terrible with random words capitalised on headlines that the word FREE was totally glazed over by me and confused me. That is either a failure of my comprehension, or their idea of design. Even more, when you do click on a thing that is subscriber only, it does nothing to inform you that you are on content you are not allowed to use except waste your time with a buffer timer set to 'forever'. Their website is pretty bum looking and doesn't do much to help you figure out what is and is not sub only. Label things as sub only, just to help keep your site clear.

Also, I didn't really even type that in an angry state, gently caress knows how you interpreted madness. It was at most a passing 'eh'.

e; oh, cool, you chilled off on your oddly aggressive stance. FWIW, to an absolute outsider, their site does nothing to illustrate how much of their content is sub only and how much is free. I still think their site is in dire need of a redesign though.

I think Bryan mentioned they were going to redesign the site and make a mobile app. We'll see if that ever happens.

If you're still interested, the f4wonline station for tunein radio has a lot of the more recent free shows on loop of you're interested in checking the shows out.

If you're a fan of Paul Heyman, you really should listen to this week's mma hour. He talks for over an hour about pro wrestling and mma and I don't think he retells that many stories.

While the thought occurs to me if anyone has a Kindle and an Online Observer subscription the Send to Kindle app is utterly amazing with one click it sends the Observer properly formatted to your Kindle.

Works well with the Torch newsletter or any other website I can think of:

The Alvarez interview with Rosey is pretty sad. On the plus side, it sounds like he has his heart conditions under control and understands what he has to do to keep it under control.

This. He sounds really uncomfortable during the entire interview. He seems to be more comfortable when they get to wrestling at least.

Jim Cornette's drive thru is also good for stories about the boys. It's his weekly mail bag show though so it's behind the MLW paywall.

There's another MLW extra with wrestling historian Matt Farmer. I really wish it was with Cornette or someone like Meltzer instead of Court.
