My favorite part of the last Nash interview was when he was talking about how the WCW Headquarters looked like the Weekly Reader compared to WWF/E.  Also, when he talking about Hall used to stiff kick the WCW guys and played it off w/ an "Oh, did I get ya?"

I chuckled when Austin asked about his movie if it was gay porn and Nash either no sold or didn't catch it.The Bond. James Bond bit from the spring break show was funny too.

 

I liked when Nash was talking about getting kicked off his college basketball team for getting into it with his coach.  He talked about open-hand slapping the coach, and Austin replies, total deadpan, "Did he sell it?"

 

LOL

 

Love how these guys use wrestling terminology in everyday speak.  Austin, at the end of the 2nd DDP interview, was talking about having sex with a chick and "blowing up after two minutes".  LOL

Does he record this shit in a hotel room?!

 

He does when he's on the road. He's mentioned a few times now that he was flying solo without Mo and he was doing his best to figure everything out. I still think Austin is the best interviewer out there now, on any subject, not just wrestling. Part of that is taking the time to figure out how all of the recording equipment works, reading copy better than damn near anyone else, studying up on his guests, and if you notice, he rarely, if ever, makes it about himself. Even when there's a story he's aware of, he stops immediately before divulging any information and he lets his guest do all the talking. Tons of open ended questions, and really engaging ones at that. He isn't afraid to ask tough questions or cover anything considered taboo. He is essentially every broadcast communications professor's wet dream and I bet you wouldn't have more than a couple professors reference or use Austin's podcast as a learning tool.

 

He has only a couple rough edges too. The first of which being that he does what I will do, which is my eyes and brain start reading the material faster than my mouth can spit it out and wind up stumbling over my words. It's usually tough to recover, so if I'm on a conference call, I will wind up re-reading the material, but if it's a recorded presentation, I can just edit the fumbled part out. His other hitch is another thing I do when talking to my mom. He has a little bit of a habit of talking over his guest, trying to steer his guest back onto topic so they don't ramble on. It almost sounds rude, especially on part 2 of the Scott Hall podcast, but none of his guests ever take offense to it.

Samoa Joe is up today.  I wouldn't have thought Austin would have much knowledge o the younger generation wrestler like Joe, let alone one who habs't been in the WWE.  Going to give it a listen being a Joe fan as well as really enjoying the podcast as a whole.

Joe's story about Kobashi wanting to play "Mr. Fuji style foreign heel" because he figures the American fans will boo him is great. God, I can just imagine Hammerstein's reaction if Kobashi had opened the match with a salt throw, judo chop, and choke in the corner."

If only there would have been a little old lady at ring side who kept stealing the salt so he couldn't use it later.
