It's also a better sell of the Cena/Brock rematch than anything they did on raw.

He did basically the entire thing in kayfabe, and very few people realised it until he claimed that what Scott Hall was drinking when he appeared very intoxicated on Nitro was "cough medicine".

Russo literally can't help himself from trying to work the marks.

Heyman trolling Austin at the end of their podcast is fantastic.

"LET'S TALK ABOUT WRESTLEMANIA 32! :haw:"

Edit: Also Heyman actually bothered to bring up the fact that Cena is going to have to get brutal and heartless in the way that he already promised he wouldn't in his earlier feud with Bray Wyatt, which I really appreciated and desperately hope gets brought up on Raw.

Yeah, that was... well that was very obviously a Vince McMahon idea :stare:

The two biggest bits of news in that podcast was that Batista is playing Tong Po in a remake of Kickboxer (:neckbeard:) and that Triple H will be Jericho's guest next week, which should be fantastic.

Apparently when they first met, Regal and HHH bonded over NWOBHM. So I'd assume HHH is actually knowledgeable in it.

This is what I'd imagine. On top of that Jericho said he took his ring name from Helloween's first album, Walls of Jericho.

I happened across this one a little while ago (I'm still in the midst of listening to it) and a forum poster caused Bryan to flip his lid.

I'd say start from the beginning of the podcast, because (as well as being consistently funny) there's a lot of running gags you might miss if you skip ahead.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
You can jump in at any point, it's not heavy on in-jokes or anything, but it's pretty fun to start at the beginning. There are people on the podcast who watched wrestling at the time and have great nostalgia for the era (but haven't watched it in forever) and people who have never seen it. It's pretty entertaining to hear the people who watched it previously see how wrong/correct their memories were and see how the guys who are getting their first exposure to the era react to it. It's entertaining to listen to guys evolve from hating Jeff Jarrett's guts to enjoying his work. You'll also miss out on their hilarious disdain for Marc Mero by skipping ahead.
