Jiji Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Yeah, Cornette has had a bunch of great shows the last few months. I really enjoyed his interview with the two French Canadian wrestling historians Pat Laprade and Bertrand Hebert from September too. He's getting better at letting his guests talk rather than cutting them off and go an a spiel going over long historical blurbs rather than letting the guests cover that ground. Even his intros are becoming more compact and concise. He kept the Mitch McConnell diatribe to a minimum even after that droopy faced asshole won last week. While I believe he's politically naive (his reverence for near all things Democratic Party mostly), I generally agree with his criticisms of the GOP, so those intros may be less grating to me than other politically inclined listeners. Anyway, the Lance Russell episode is probably my favourite of his series so far and I will be listening to part 2 with bells on. The bit when Lance's dogs start barking and he talks about them missing their queue was just so Lance and so perfect. What a great man. Jim Ross has stepped his game up big time too the past while. He's letting his guests get their shit in, asking far fewer leading questions, being less miserable in tone, and minimizing his intros and trimming down on repetitive complaints. This week's episode with Alex Greenfield was interesting because Alex wouldn't shut the fuck up and JR couldn't get a word in once Alex got started. It was pretty funny listening to JR's tone change and get more frustrated as the show went on. The big thing to come out of that interview was that Greenfield stated Dunn undermined JR (shock) and he was likely the person behind JR's gradual marginalization and dismissal. But, shit, we aren't allowed to make negative comments about Kevin Dunn because IWC sheep or some such thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Just finished the latest Cornette podcast. Lance Russell really comes across as the friendliest and most likeable person in wrestling ever. You sure he doesn't just sound that way in comparison to Cornette? Lance also handled an irrelevant Alice Radley question pretty well too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 It's pretty darn good. The Hardy interview wasn't the best because it largely was a retread of the Jericho interview. Part 2 of Lance Russell with Cornette was awesome, again, but not quite as much fun as the first part. A lot of TV numbers and Jim did that thing where he goes on and on for several minutes without letting his guest get a word in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MushroomJones Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Catching up on the Sullivan MLW podcast and there are some great tidbits that I never knew: - they had to change Beefcake from 'the Butcher' to 'the Zodiac' because they got sued by Abby! - Ron Reis got the 'high profile' gig of the Yeti since he had the trademark on the name 'Big Sexy' It's great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sullivan has his own podcast now? Or was he a guest on someone else's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoarr Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sullivan has his own show over at MLWradio.com - they're going through WCW's history month-by-month starting with the debut of WCW Nitro. Loved some random bits of Sullivan dealing with Hogan, the origins of several different things. My podcast of the week has to be Part 1 and 2 of Roddy Piper interviewing Bobcat Goldthwait, Both trade some good stories, love how honest Bobcat is regarding his past and stand-up. Andy Kaufman talk, Bobcat in Lucha Va-Voom, Robin Williams stories - it's worth checking out. Even if you can never stand Piper's other shows, he's dialed back considerably during this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sounds like fun. I subscribed to MLW radio's itunes channel but the Sullivan shows don't appear to download through there. Am I doing something wrong or do you have to listen via the website? Edit: Ah, it would appear to be premium content. Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I know. I'll subscribe when I have some extra cash about. I only listen to Cornette's podcast on their iTunes feed but between his premium content and Sullivan's, I could see myself getting $15 worth in a year.

MushroomJones Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 It's really worth it for the Sullivan solo show and the weekly Cornette bonus show. Not sold on the rest, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidKash202 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yea I just paid for my MLW Year Long SUbscription, Sullivan is worth the $15 alone. I was a WCW dude though, so I might be biased Also, word on the street is CM Punk is going to be on Colt's Podcast tomorrow spilling out his guts. According to Dwyane Wade Keller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I don't know about anyone else, but Cheap Heat is by far my favorite podcast in the wrestling genre. I can see why it would grate on people's nerves, however. ADJACE~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTTom Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I hate to shill my own wares, but as part of my podcast WRESTLEFOLKS, I just posted an audio shoot interview with CHIKARA's Leonard F. Chikarason, in the same vein/style of the big shoot interview companies out there. If you're groaning at the word "shoot interview", you might just be the audience for this thing (I'm trying really hard not to wink or nudge...).It can be listened to at http://TinyURL.com/LFCShootInterview 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Guy Named Tracy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Bob Holly was on JR's podcast this week and actually came off likeable. He didn't really shoot on anyone, but directed people to pick up his book. Bob spent some time talking about Steve Blackman, but he was unwilling to share some of the crazier things Blackman told him while they were on the road together. Blackman needs to be a guest on someone's podcast stat. Of course they talked about Brawl for All, Benoit, and the Matt Cappotelli incident. Bob claims he did not take liberties with Matt, which is different from the story he said in his shoot video with RFvideo. I went back and rewatched the clip from Tough Enough. The beating looks worse than it was due to editing. Yes, Bob hit him hard across the back, but it appeared to land across the shoulder blades. Bob claimed in his conversation with JR that the boot in the corner to Matt's face was accidental due to Matt flopping like a fish. Re watching the clip, the first boot, or sneaker in this case, may have been accidental, but the second looked deliberate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I liked the Holly interview as well but his claim that wwe wouldn't put up with a bully in the locker room sounded like total horseshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MushroomJones Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I liked the Holly interview as well but his claim that wwe wouldn't put up with a bully in the locker room sounded like total horseshit.

Rev Ray Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 I liked Waltman on JR's podcast this week. Most of the interviews I've heard from him makes it seem like he still has a good mind for wrestling. Hopefully he keeps his shit together.

Clayton Jones Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Episode 14 of the Wrestling Night Review Podcast is up, and boy did we have a lot to cover after a Round Robin format at Quest For Fire. Analyzed in depth side by side are the following three pairs of matches:Match-up 1:- Eddie Guerrero © VS Rey Mysterio Jr - WCW Cruiserweight Championship VS Mask 10/1997- Chris Hero VS KENTA - ROH 08/2009 Match-up 2:- Big Van Vader © VS Ric Flair - WCW World Heavyweight Championship VS Career 12/1993- Jushin Thunder Liger VS Great Sasuke - NJPW J Cup Semi-Finals 04/1994 Match-up 3:- James Gibson © VS Bryan Danielson - ROH World Championship 09/2005- Super Vader VS Nobuhiko Takada - UWFi 04/1994 That's a lot of pro wrestling to discuss right there, but there are also more Rocky references than we could count, comparisons of how pro wrestling can be similar to Sick Of It All appearing on Beavis & Butthead, plenty of discussion of WCW VS NWO World Tour, and a surprise run in by Fedor Emelianenko. http://wrestlingnight.podbean.com/e/wrestling-night-podcast-episode-14/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
