MORELOCK Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Conrad continually asking questions about salary and "numbers" that Prichard has clearly told him he won't discuss is one of the most annoying parts of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Prichard towing the company line is usually easy to let slide since it doesn't impact things too much. Listen to the show enough and you'll figure out how to take the good with the bad. That being said, the Mania 7 and the steroid scandal shows were skippable due to Prichard's insistence on sticking to McMahon's narrative becoming absolutely intolerable. When he's doing things like sticking to the bomb scare story or swearing Meltzer is wrong about the Mania 3 attendance, it's too much. When they covered No Holds Barred, I really wished they'd addressed the rumor that Vince and Hogan locked themselves in a hotel room with a bunch of coke and rewrote the script.

Godfrey Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Prichard's pro-WWE bull is easily outweighed by the level of insight he gives, but it does throw the whole point of the podcast into question (fun inside info is only fun if it's true). Still, I like Conrad and while their bickering can get tiresome, there's also some real humour in it sometimes. The Sunny ep for instance, while sad, also had some good laughs. Here's hoping his new job doesn't affect things. I haven't caught up to the episodes he's done since joining Impact. There isn't some clearly BS pro-TNA talk, is there?

Technico Support Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I haven't heard any pro TNA talk at all. I think he understands his audience enough to know better. He still does the Jerry Jarrett impression...people were apparently worried about that. Well you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The Raven podcast has really started to find its feet, Mr Skin last week and Billy Corgan this week were great guests covering a wide variety of topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Whenever Meltzer mentions that WWF is desperate to figure out how to get into China, I keep thinking they should just ask Hunter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 For those wondering, JR's first podcast after his wife's death is not nearly has tear jerking as I thought it would be. Ross addresses the situation candidly and like a total pro, so much so that at first I wondered if he'd recorded it before hand. The guy is old school, man. He's gonna make those bookings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzil Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Lances story on Killing the Town about working some shows for Bruce Hart between WCW and WWE and having Bruce call up the WWE to prevent Lance from appearing at King of the Ring cracked me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Did MLW pull all their shows from itunes? I don't see Pritchard or Shiavonie's shows in my feed anymore edit: Nevermind. They're showing up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Good story on Schivaone show this week about the Yet-ae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The only problem and its a sort of a big one on the Schivaone pod cast (at least the early episodes) is how its billed as this look behind the curtin of WCW but any time Schivaone is asked about something controversial or behind the scenes he just deflects it with "I dont know I was just the announcer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 My only gripe so far is that id like to hear more early JCP stuff from his time there (83-85) than the Nitro era stuff, but thats me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeCaesar Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 After all the Klondike Bill stories and the tale told on the Q&A episode in great detail about Tony being in the room with Flair and a "party girl" who was trying to coerce him into a threesome, the Schiavone podcast might be better off bringing the SLEAZE~! going forward instead of copying the Prichard format.

Charlie M. Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 The E&C Pod had a really good interview with Beth Phoenix this week. She seemed pretty open to the idea of returning at some point and would like to work with Charlotte or Nia. They also covered Mania and the post-Mania shows a bit too. They filmed a bunch of stuff for the Network show during Mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Schiavone doing play by play for the Coal Miner's Glove match from Havoc '92 on this weeks show was goddamn hilarious. Fast forward to 1:29:40 if you care to listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I definitely don't want to come off like I'm happy about their situation or anything, but the AIW podcast has a chance to tell such a compelling story in the coming weeks. From the sounds of it, Thorne's not even sure he wants to keep the promotion going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 The Schiavone podcast is more entertaining for just how acerbic Tony is. It's not a deep dive like Pritchard, but Tony has interesting insights and stories. And yeah, him calling the Coal Miner's Glove match was fucking hilarious. I also kind of dig how this podcast is clearly getting the dude to reconcile his apathy he had for the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I wonder if he was not getting (presumably) good coin for doing the podcast, he would still be blocking or ignoring people who want to talk wrestling with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 To be fair, his blocks seem to mostly be of people who use the same "butts in seats" line over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The Pritchard show on Owen was interesting. Naturally, the skipped over any OTE talk, as they had indicated a long time back, but some good Owen rib stories. Bruce clearly thought much of what Martha wrote in her book wasn't reflective of his interactions with the guy but he wasn't going to challenge a widow.

Technico Support Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 That show was good but it bugged me a bit, probably because I don't think a lot of ribs are funny. Prank call Stu Hart? That's funny. Call Ahmed Johnson and tell him he's going to be on the tonight show, then he goes and spends a lot of money on new clothes and waits outside for a limo? That's a little fucked up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
