The Green Meanie Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I really do enjoy the concept of watch-along podcasts. Spring Stampede 94 and STWW's Royal Rumble 92 were very entertaining! Apparently WHW does a bunch of them, I'm going to check those out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yeah, they’re great. Tony is really funny on the watchalongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Conrad making rape jokes on the Unforgiven 98 podcast was super gross. Fat piece of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Manganiello goes into wrestling a bit as well. Turns out he had a pitch about doing a show about Mid-South Wrestling before GLOW came out.

You might want to re-listen. He was throwing it in Bruce's face for how they have double standards and for all of the Katie Vick rape stuff.

MonteCarl Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Don't know if it was mentioned before, but John Cena was on Chris Hardwick's ID10T podcast a few weeks ago. It was interesting to hear John talk "inside Baseball/Wrestling", drop the F-bomb a few times, and then talk about how much he loves Nikki and wants to get married and have kids with her (this was taped a little before Mania and pre-breakup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNosanchuk Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Browsing the past couple of pages, there doesn't seem to too much attention on Sam Robert's Wrestling Podcast (I can generally guess how the board may feel), but he and Peter Rosenberg talked GRR. The most fascinating part was Robert's breakdown of Vince's relationships with Reigns and Strowman, but in like BF/GF relationship terms. Vince is in a committed relationship with Reigns...but then there's this new person who's come along and grabbed the attention of Vince, and Vince's heart. And while he's still in this committed relationship, his eye is on someone else and he's in that "checked out" phase of relationships and Vince has really fallen in love with Strowman, but he hasn't broken up with Roman yet. Like Roman Reigns was this new Hulk Hogan for Vince to play with, but then Strowman came along and he's the new Hogan and Roman Reigns has become the Randy Savage to Strowman's Hogan. I'm butchering it, but I liked his assessment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Listened to the first episode of Conrad and Eric. Thought it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Yeah, it was good. Conrad was more serious and straightforward, more resigned. He did his homework. Bischoff completely shot down a few things that were taken as conventional wisdom for years and years. you don't have to believe him but you can at least doubt them now. There were times where he was combative but also times where he'd admit something. (EDIT: I do think a lot of things are covered in Bischoff's book, though usually not in as much length, and it's easy to miss. Like, for instance, I hadn't realized it was the Turner Brass that kiboshed the February 99 NBC special that would have happened lockout or no, but that was in his book apparently).

Craig H Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Eric citing "heat" and "how much heat" the fingerpoke of doom got as reason for why it worked is so fucking dumb. It's even worse when he says all of us don't understand how the business works as much as he does because we're all just smarks. Like, hey motherfucker, just having heat is pointless if it goes nowhere and if you don't make money off of it. Fucking X-Pac had heat for years, didn't mean much. So how smart is Eric when he doesn't even understand what heat is? These guys will never, ever admit how they killed the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the fact that you used X-Pac who had go away heat, which Bischoff correctly noted that this angle had the opposite of. I do agree that heat or not, it still went nowhere.

Gonzo Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Lance Storm is apparently on an "extended sabbatical" from KtT (which I assume is Storm Wrestling Academy-related), so for the immediate future we're getting Cyrus and Lazenby. Haven't listened to all of the most recent episode yet, but hopefully the quality won't drop off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Lazenby kinda sucks, that's why. Other than possibly throwing Disco off the Jericho boat, he does not serve much purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Lance Storm was why i've followed KtT for the last year plus. Cyrus has good stories, but i couldn't care less about the NJPW interviews he does. i think i will also take a sabbatical until Storm returns. also, when i saw the preview said "the new Killing the Town...with Lazenby!" i can't be the only one that assumed it was Lance + Paul, can i? definitely figured Cyrus was the one too busy to keep up the podcast life.

No, that was the assumption I immediately made, too. I just figured that Cyrus has a ton of stuff going on and that he was leaving. But yeah. . .Storm has turned into a hell of a fun guy to listen to, and the back-and-forth with him and Cyrus is great. I hope his "sabbatical" isn't a lengthy one.
