has anyone mentioned the Store Horsemen? a group of comedians talk about WWE PPVs, random news, and various episodes of raw and smackdown. can be kinda hit or miss, but in general is great for a few laughs.

Wrestling fans are super negative so they focus on the content people want like Braun Strowman being buried in a glacier.

It’s the same reason he doesn’t ever say anything negative about AEW: people who are interested in it are the same people who subscribe.

A pod I'm super close to dropping, Store Horsemen, has extended fights about Becky Lynch because one dude (who is a giant misogynist, gently caress you Tony Hinchcliffe) goes on constant derails talking about how poo poo she is. I don't get why people can't give it a couple minutes (if that) and then move on to something else.

Is Pacific Rim a WOR thing only? Latest ep I’m seeing on iTunes is from Nov. 4, 2018

Thanks guys, feels goofy asking but I dunno anything about the various podcasts going around. Trying to expand past Store Horsemen, E&C, Jericho and Wrestlesplania.

Jericho comes off as a super bitter boots old man on the Wrestlemania Preview episode. Keeps calling the women "divas", is mad that they're getting the same matches as men ("does there HAVE to be two of everything?" yes, dammit), and makes a huge deal about being "banned from WWE"

It's unfortunate.

tried listening to The Lapsed Fan and gently caress was it awful. the shrill guy gets wildly self-important and really loud out of nowhere, the sound balancing is off, and honestly who has 4hrs to devote to a single episode, let alone that being the length of every single ep?!

The latest Wrestlesplania episode is about Chyna and I think it might be one of their best. Very emotional. This is exactly where this show is at its best: Bringing a perspective to pro wrestling you really unfortunately rarely get to hear.

it feels corny to say, but the fact that their podcast is strictly from a woman's perspective gives it a lot of extra weight. huge part of why it's one of my favorite pods out there.

imo it's not wrestlesplania unless it's both Kath and Rachel so I dunno how I feel about this new setup, but obviously I'll still give it a listen!

They went from "WE'RE GONNA loving KILL EACH OTHER IT'S NOT GONNA BE A WRESTLING MATCH" to having a wrestling match to thanking each other.

If his point was that the build didn't match the result, he's got a point.

nothing wrong with a respect spot at the end of that match imo

Yeah, Dave is much shorter in person than I expected. He also has the weakest handshake I've ever felt.

recently met a luchador who had the weakest handshake in the world and I couldn't tell if it was because he was hurt, just has a weak handshake, or was sexist.

I... uh... weirdly hope he's just sexist because a weak handshake is horrifying to my Texan rear end and I don't like when wrestlers are hurt.

Yeah, Kath Barbadoro was the moderating influence of Wrestlesplainia and Rachel + Indie Workers was not a formula for success in my opinion.

that is a very polite way to say "it is now unlistenable". the first few episodes were rad because Rachel legit had no idea what the gently caress was going on, and over (a very short period of) time just got weirdly obsessed? also, harassing Chuck Taylor until he gave up and finally gave an interview was pretty gross!

Their initial episode about Best Friends (episode 6) where Rachel was hearing everything completely insane about Trent had some pretty great reactions.

Bryan using the terms “shoot” and “gimmick” when referring to regular life things is weirdly delightful.
