TerjeRUN Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Loving all manner of Podcasts at the moment. I really liked Jericho's with Bret. Austin really needs to do his follow up with Bret, ideally going into their feud. Bret's book was excellent in covering that period, and I'd like him and Austin to go through it together. I don't find Colt bitter to be honest. Although he seems more at home with indy wrestlers than the likes of Scot Hall, Austin etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I don't think he's bitter either. In fact, he's way more bitter/pissed towards ROH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Bones Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I wouldn't hold it against Colt if he has been wounded a bit by some of his experiences in wrestling. Overall he is still an upbeat guy. Strange that I think he gets more fun out of a couple of minutes with Punk and Compton (or whatever close buddy he has nearby) than he does in 50 minutes of interview.

Tromatagon Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 He basically pitched his show as a WWE network show at the beginning of the Ambrose episode. I don't think he comes off bitter at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 You would think if they wanted to go that direction that Colt would be about the 4th or 5th person they offer it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 And if he was still holding a grudge, I don't think he would have gone done and auditioned for an announcer's gig. With all of these shows starting within a short time from each other, they do seem a tad incestuous, appearing on each other's shows to get the work out.

The WWE podcast, hosted by Steve Lombardi I don't know how good a host he'd be, but he's been around forever and worked pretty much everybody up until 2002 or so. Could do worse.

Hagan Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 You guys know they'd have the fucking Miz host a Network interview show. The problem with Colt is that he doesn't get into the minutia of stuff. Like, with Ambrose, it would have been nice to hear how The Shield was pitched, how that evolved, how they were able to interact so well, especially because it wasn't a gimmick they fine-tuned in NXT. Austin's better at getting into the analysis of wrestling. Colt keeps it kind of light and breezy. But, fuck...it's kind of cool to hate on Cabana but he's the guy that really showed that a wrestling podcast can gain some traction. Shit, when he was in WWE he was the one sounding the horn about using Youtube more and look at that now. Oh somewhat related, but there's a Cornette podcast where he goes into the ROH stuff with Steen and Davey that's pretty fucking incredible.

goodhelmet Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Eh, the oversaturation is a big issue in the comedy podcast world and they seem to do okay. I mean, if you listen to Maron and Nerdist you're gonna get a lot of overlap. I would think that, like in the comedy world, the wrestling ones need to pick up a distinct identity. I mean, Colt is more of a shoot the shit about how you got into wrestling, Konnan is more into rumors and talking shit and the current stuff, Cornette is just cutting rants and talking about old school stuff, and Austin is doing a good job at being more of a general life podcast that is more or less revolved around wrestling. Jericho really needs to find a niche, though. I think Jericho will find his identity when he starts bringing in the washed up metal guys. This is exactly what I am hoping for. Loved the Eddie Trunk Interview more than any of the other shows he has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I believe Colt has said he doesnt do much if at all research for th pod. As opposed to Austin, who really does his homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ehhh they do really different style shows. None of this shit would be happening if it wasn't for Colt's show, IMO. Everyone can hate on that and these nuts all you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADCAP Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Since I was the one who made the original statement about Colt being bitter, let me clear up what I was trying to say. I detect bitterness because of how the WWE views him and his style of wrestling. Also, he spoke about feeling hurt when one of his idols, Dusty, didn't dig his act. I feel him, finally getting to the big time and cutting him loose, when there is a whole bunch of people who could have been released besides him. Frankly I don't blame him, but you can hear it come across in some of his podcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I would be a total asshole about it in his position. I think he's a better person than I am.

You could be talking about Wheat bread being on sale & Nigel will turn that into a sob story about WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ambrose saying every locker on the indies was filed with "Pockets of nerds everywhere" is the best description of wrestling ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Ambrose saying every locker on the indies was filed with "Pockets of nerds everywhere" is the best description of wrestling ever. Yeah, I really liked Ambrose before, but listening to him on AOW made me like him even more. Him talking about the internet smarks in the locker rooms and implying that people should enjoy things made me think he'd fit in well here for a while, only to move on when people started bringing up merch sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 so Austin and Jim Johnson had a chat for the Tuesday Clean edition. Notes while listening 1) Jim Johnson was born one county over from my grandmother (he was born in Pocahontas ("Poke-hontas"), Arkansas) before his father got a job in NYC. 2) Austin brought "Bulls on Parade" to Jim Johnson moments before the Stone Cold theme was figured out 2b) the glass breaking sound was more than glass, but sounded like glass. Science. Also the Austin theme took 8hrs to complete. 3) Jimmy Hart made the HBK theme, not Jim Johnson. (News to Stone Cold) 4) Jim Johnson loves Motown music, and isn't big into thrash/scream metal 5) stories of the DX theme, the Guitar Riff Bret Hart theme, the Undertaker theme and Hakushi's theme So, enjoy the musicial philosophy talk!
