Pro Wrestling Report (PWR) - http://www.pwrshow.com/ I'm suprised they haven't been mentioned yet, seeing how its a radio show on ESPN 10 years old and counting. The do basic news, and get some really good guests, since I've been listening this past year they've had Al Snow, Jim Cornette, Iron Sheik, Kevin Nash, Ken Kennedy, Shane Helms, The Pope and some others I'm forgetting. David Hero, a co-host of the show seemingly has a close relationship with a lot of wrestlers. The only thing negative I can say is that the quality of some of the episodes drops off once in a while for whatever reason, but the podcast is solid and the hosts have good chemistry.

Sue Denim posted:Wow, listening to Observer Radio really makes PWR sound like an amateur effort. Damien Nelson and David Hero are two of the least engaging/entertaining broadcasters around. Yeah once I started listening to Wrestling Observer I stopped listening to PWR. I would say WO is NPR while PWR is more like typical local morning radio.

LordPants posted:"WHO THE gently caress IS THAT BALD GUY AND THAT OTHER DUDE?" and he's right, the outsider angle only works when the guys are over with your audience, like Hall and Nash. And WWE aren't going to let the Kings go through the division like Brock did, because they don't book like that. With good commentators and solid booking they would get the Kings of Wrestling over. The problem is that they won't allow Punk and the Kings of Wrestling any heat and promptly bury them within 2 weeks while Michael Cole berries them on the mic.

Gatts posted:Lagana's podcast was majority circlejerking each other. WTF? In his interviews he's always been like this, "Well when I was in WWE it was like..." or "let me tell you about this time I was right and what they did was stupid". I always thought everyone was okay with it. I give Lagana a pass this week because he's pretty loving amped about getting a little buzz from the biggest wrestling payperview of the last 5 years. That one guy who kept saying "yeah man I'm not just blowing smoke up your rear end I like watching raw because of your live tweets" was kind of annoying, but that's not the fault of Dave Lagana.

MassRayPer posted:I don't understand how Lance can rip UFC so much for Chael Sonnen who sat out an entire year due to PEDs and still watch WWE (and think about giving Impact another try) when one hands out 30 day suspensions for first failures and the other does absolutely nothing. I think he has a point. When you do PEDs in pro wrestling you aren't actually influencing anything, maybe you get a push because Vince pops a boner but in the UFC you're actively trying to hurt the other guy and PEDs put your opponent in more danger.

sportsgenius86 posted:most of the fighters getting popped for PEDs are doing it for quicker recovery, not to be some giant guy who hulk smashes opponents like Overeem. I don't think it changes anything. In actual sports PEDs create a lot of problems with competition and forcing those who don't use them to a huge disadvantage.

They both make some decent points but Todd was arguing how it is and Bryan was arguing how it should be. Todd is more concerned with having money matches with guys being fed to big names to build a money fight, while Bryan was basically saying that every fight should be of equal importance to both men (it should). Bryan just doesn't know how to articulate his position very well and I'm not sure he was even listening to what Todd was saying once Todd mentioned :sports:. maniacripper fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Dec 18, 2011 |

Listening to the January 21 Wrestling Observer I noticed Dave going on and on and on about Japanese wrestling history and I let out a meak, "holy poo poo". I've heard him do it before but I don't know what made this instance stand out but, holy poo poo.

Grantonio posted:Listening to the MVP AoW right now. The dude is really smart, and honestly should have been a bigger deal. I certainly never would have thought that Mark Henry would be the one from that tag team to reinvent himself and be a World Champion. When he did the show with Lagana I was floored with how knowledgeable he was of the entire history of the business. I wonder if a even a quarter of the roster can talk wrestling history like he can, he truly loves the sport.

triplexpac posted:That podcast with Dave & Lance "debating" the Nick Diaz controversy and drugs in UFC sure was a waste of time haha. I did love Bryan explaining how cops would learn how to combat people who were on drugs, and Dave interjecting that that is most likely people on PCP, not weed. Akileese posted:I figured as much. Thanks for confirming my fears so I don't have to listen to it. That show was goddamn awful. I understand being anti-drug. But claiming Nick Diaz could smoke weed and become this super fighter who is impervious to pain was frustrating to listening to. Same with Alvarez, if you've never done weed then don't make up all this bullshit about how it affects you. And yeah, all you need to know is Bryan Alvarez recalled a self defense teacher telling them that if an attacker is high most of the techniques wouldn't work and he thought that meant someone on pot and you have an understanding of the conversation. It's that loving bad, these two guys (Bryan and Lance) came across as two dense individuals. I understand and agree with Lance's point that there are rules, and rules were broken so punishment is deserved. But the arguments they made against pot were increasingly disingenuous and even retarded. For the record I don't think pot should be on the banned substance list.

Cardboard Box posted:I like how the earliest pages of this thread has everybody talking about how much they love Alvarez and now everybody hates him. When someone is in self defense class and the instructor says, "Keep in mind a lot of these techniques will not work if the attacker is high" and he thinks the guy is talking about pot you are about as dense as it gets. I still listen to his shows and I don't think everything he says is bullshit but as soon as he says, "It's like..." I just shut my brain off for the next 30 seconds because his analogies are always wrong. And I know Dave stepped in to correct him about the guy meaning PCP or Meth but he should have slammed him for being such a nitwit.

TomWaitsForNoMan posted:He really has. I find that my favourite shows are when he steps back a bit and acts as a host with Dave or Lance answering questions and providing analysis. It's a great dynamic when it works But this also leads to more of his worst antics, mainly, someone else (Todd, Dave, Lance) making a good point, then Bryan will detour the conversation about how he has this brilliant idea/analysis which is just a rephrasing of what the other person just said. That has to drive those guys nuts.

God the Network numbers at the beginning of the April 8th Observer show went on way too long, okay we get it, you have opinions, it's not too good, not too bad, they wont get 6 million, just move on. Second on the Stone Cold Podcast, how come my pod catcher misses some episodes? I see episode 88 available on the website but it's not on my feed, is that just to drive website traffic? Then there's episodes that are just gone from the website and the podcatcher, what gives?

ColonelJohnMatrix posted:Yeah I remember at the time that Backlash actually felt like Wrestlemania, whereas Wrestlemania 2000 felt like just a regular PPV (the all day Wrestlemania countdown show was great though). The tag ladder match was awesome but outside of that there was a lot of poo poo. Backlash had the awesome main event with the Stone Cold mega pop. I went and searched for the mega-pop from backlash and noticed something. This is an official WWE video and there's a shitload of chair shots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYF6r22UjKU What's off is that everyone who takes an unprotected chair shot to the dome gets it edited to look like a video burp happens at the moment of impact, while those who take it on the back (Triple H) or get their hands up (Patterson) they show contact. Is this a new thing or has it been mentioned by Meltzer or anyone else? If so is it common on the network as well? I don't think it's a coincidence that the video wonks out at those exact moments only.

UltimoDragonQuest posted:A lot of JR's bitterness is just being a WWE office guy for a decade. Around Wrestlemania he was on twitter talking about ungrateful wrestlers who should be happy with their payoffs. Meanwhile every other wrestler who's been in the WWE knows that the system for payouts is a low-ball and you have to go demand more. JR is the battered spouse of WWE.

They don't want someone to endorse Roman Reigns, they just don't want Roman Reigns at all. Yeah... that's the point. If they continue to boo Reigns then he turns on Bryan (and fans) and goes with Heyman. Now Roman has a someone to do his interviews, and Daniel Bryan is back chasing the title. People could buy Roman being a strong sellout heel champion with Heyman pulling the strings. It's a win/win maniacripper fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Jan 30, 2015 |

Danny LaFever posted:Why was Trips a terminator that also killed and beheaded Terminators? The biggest what the gently caress moment is that Triple H did it at all, he's the loving heel. It didn't throw it in anyones face to build heat like Rusev's, it was just meant to make people go "GOD drat TRIPLE H IS A BADASS MOTHERFUCKER!" and then he goes and beats Sting and makes him shake his hand after clobbering him with a sludgehammer. Jesus Christ what a self mark.

Whoolighams posted:Speaking of in-ring psychology, I've recently started listening to Austin and Jericho's podcasts so I've been picking through old episodes and I loved the TiJ with the Genius discussing Macho. I didn't know what to expect but man, I could listen to that guy talk for hours. Side note: I've found that the only way to listen to Jericho's show is to fast forward until I hear the other guy talking. Austin does a walkthrough of his Brett Hart match that's synced up on dailymotion or other places, its amazing.
