The Natural Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 One of the best setups to a finish ever. When I think of the DDT, it's always Jake Roberts first then Arn Anderson, Bret Hart, Raven, Michael Hayes and Kenta Kobashi. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 The Dax podcast this week is great. All about the early days of The Revival in NXT. One fun fact: Their name came from Sami Zayn, who was at the gym with them and a CCR song played and said they should call themselves TTR instead. Got changed to The Revival in a much better move. A lot of putting HHH over with reasons why a lot of wrestlers love a dude that we all hated when he was a performer. But the breakdown at the end of how to make a hot tag work and how the drama of tag wrestling is not just with the result but is primarily in making a guy watch his best friend get the shit kicked out of him, often by duplicitous means, as he can do nothing but watch until the catharsis of the tag rules. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) I love Dax's podcast but the best non-wrestling part are easily the Bluechew ads. First one has Dax calling for his wife about the ad and his kid walks in wondering what Bluechew is. Laughter ensues, Dax has a moment of "Oh, no, how am I gonna get out of this?" and they laugh the rest of the way through the ad. Two weeks after that his wife's around to comment and things go well then I find out she's Greek. So not only is Dax a wonderful person but it's clear to me he has great taste. EDIT: Oh, man, now he's talking about awesome Greek food and on top of his love for tequila I would be thrilled to meet him. Oh, and Matt did say at the top that they're gonna do a Jay episode next week since Dax emotionally can't do it this week. But in its place is a really fun episode on FTRKO which pointed out many things I may have missed at the time.

Octopus Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I loved the phone call where Heyman was pretending he was in the same room with Vince. I was cracking up. Such a carny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Brisco and Bradshaw’s show is pretty great. Love the older guests. Seems very casual and you can tell the guests are happy to reminisce. So far listened to The Grappler, Wild Bill, Regal, RVD, Bob Roop, Michael James, and of course RON FUNCHES!!! Good stuff. I stayed away because of my biases against JBL bully stories, but the podcast is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed away because of my biases against JBL bully stories, but the podcast is very good. I don't know if there's any WWE affiliation or anything that might prevent him from appearing, but I'd love to hear Ron Simmons on there - so much of what I have heard of him cover the years covers Doom and the WCW WHC win (and probably rightfully so) - but the kid in me wouldn't mind hearing a couple stories of the APA and the Stooges on the road in that '97-'02 period. Obviously, 'attitude' has been done.to.death. on every podcast, DVD doc, etc. ever, but so much of it is framed from the perspective of a sausage-maker (think Russo, Pritchard, Corny) or even when the subject is a sub-main-eventer (I'll say Bob Holly just for the sake of giving a name) it's often just memories of first impressions, reactions, etc. to whatever or whoever was happening in the main event scene. I'd love to hear a little nitty gritty on the undercard of the period... Like for example, those guys covering their perspective of the Public Enemy kerfuffle without the filter/lens of a WWE prod. team? Yes, please! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Who is Dax talking about having confronted about going to Meltzer? Later in the episode he references something that essentially sounds like him not being in good standing with Matt Jackson 'now'. I like Dax's honesty, but I worry about the needless heat he's stirring up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Cornette does a watchalong to the Royal Rumble match 1992 on this weeks experience.

Cobra Commander Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I was surprised that Cornette didn't know a little bit more about Scientology (in regards to Hogan) since Scientology came up on a South Park episode and I think South Park is one of the 5 recent shows that Cornette watches (South Park, Family Guy, Curse of Oak Island, Dog the Bounty Hunter, and... well, he watched the Rock'n'Roll HOF induction ceremonies, so that's 5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 The Lapsed Fan has an ongoing series covering the early part on Hogan coming in TNA with Bischoff. If you've listened to them for any significant period of time you know they've been dead set against doing episodes on TNA so I couldn't imagine how much someone had to pay for them to cover TNA. The episodes have been they entertaining and informative and I'm not nostalgic for TNA yet at all right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) One of the most interesting things in the Dax podcast so far was what he was making and what he eventually got offered during the pre-pandemic bidding wars: His main roster contract was something like 125, 150, 175, and then when they were trying to get them to stay, they offered him 675 or something because he kept saying no.

Whoa, that's wild - I'll say this: if you look at that period of early pandemic releases, there's no doubt in my mind they would've gotten Good Brother-ed after 'Mania. Like, probably beat-for-beat the same trajectory. No idea what their current deal is like or what they may be discussing for a new one but from the outside looking in, the way things worked out in reality is probably the ideal situation for FTR both financially and artistically. They'd have had much less negotiating power with TK if they took the 675 and were in the unemployment line a month later. (Plus, let's not forget, this may be public posturing/negotiating - love FTR to death, but workers gots to work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The beginning of this week’s ep of Dax was super awkward with the Roaaddog talk (yes, Toaddog is a douche) and it gets into Roaddog’s podcast buddy, Kasio (?), snarky jab at Dax. Matt Koon tries to defend Kasio because they’re friends and it’s very uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southofheavy Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Yeah, Matt Koon twisting himself in knots trying to defend him was pretty lame. "So you took it...well, I guess you would." Get real. Next time you go to an aquarium together, tell your boy he was an ass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
