Curt McGirt Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I feel horribly sad for some of the people in this thread. 1
Web Conn Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 I found the Dan Severn podcast to be surprisingly enjoyable Dan comes off as a really positive & a generally good guy. I say surprising because Dan can come off in the ring as boring but he is anything but during this interview. He also seemed to really enjoy Colts story about being at the end of his WWE run and having a dark match with a guy the WWE was big on where he wore a grey shirt soaked it in water and drew a big mustache on his face wrestling the match as Dan Severn, thus ending thus kids future in the WWE.
Dewar Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 New Jack talking about not liking the nappy dugout is still my favorite AOW moment, followed closely by the Briscoe Brothers complaining about Oakland Raider player ranking in Madden, and THE POWER UTI. Colt does a good job of interviewing folks, and getting fun stories out of them.
KidKash202 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Cabana always mentions how he's "not a music guy" and that baffles me. It blows my mind that people are out there who don't have music they enjoy and are fans of. There might be music he likes but he might not listen to the radio or go out of his way to discover new stuff. He might just like stuff that falls into his lap maybe.
Web Conn Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 Listening to the Doug Williams interview he sounds an awful lot like Jon Oliver. 1
Hagan Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Jesus, Colt sounded depressed on the opening. He acknowledged it, but man...he seems pretty bummed out about wrestling and life. Thinly veiled reference to Punk when he says that sometimes people leave wrestling and you just need to find someone else to cheer for.
Web Conn Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Tony Devito is the guest this week. Hope they talk about latter day ECW a little.
Sublime Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 They talk mostly about his days as a WWF jobber and his early time in ECW (mostly about the formation of Da Baldies). I thought it was a surprisingly fun listen though.
Rev Ray Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I second that the De Vito interview is pretty fun.
Web Conn Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Buff Bagwell is on this weeks Episode im only 16 minutes in but its so far so good. Buffs talking about starting off in WCW.
Ultimo Necro Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 The Buff interview was great. Buff comes across as really likeable, and you kind of understand why, given his start, why he was mercilessly ribbed. He also points out he was always considered much older than he really is, which when you put in perspective explains a hell of a lot. He was the same age as most of the Natural Born Thrillers which blows my mind. Also his wife and mom having the same name is superb.
MADCAP Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Listening to the Bagwell interview now. His upbringing really says alot to why he is a douchebag. He's basically a mix of every bad teen 80's movie villan/stereotype ever.
JohnnyJ Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 What I enjoyed about the interview is you could tell naïve 19-year old Buff Bagwell went into the wrestling business with the assumption that wrestling was easy, he would be on tv and making hundreds of thousands of dollars in no time. And that's exactly what happened. Something I was thinking about that went unaddressed. When WCW went under, did Buff walk away from years of guaranteed WCW/Time-Warner money to give WWE a go only be released shortly after? 1
sydneybrown Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I thought the best thing of all was this exchange (paraphrasing): Buff: I'm so excited to be on the show! I'm a huge fan of yours and hear about your podcast all the time! Colt: But we had a match a few months ago, and you didn't know who I was. That may have been the first time Colt actually called a guest out on their bullshit.
odessasteps Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I didnt listen to it, but did they discuss the Handsome Stranger?
Sammy Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I didnt listen to it, but did they discuss the Handsome Stranger? They did. While in Global doing the Handsome Stranger gimmick, Buff was stripping to make ends meet. Colt wanted to know if he was the Handsome Stranger as a stripper as well.
MADCAP Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Also, it was funny(but not really) to hear Colt, slide in little digs too.
Hagan Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Wasn't Buff's contract one of the original bought out by WWE in the initial sale? I know Booker was.
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Haha. Yeah, I think Buff was actually one of the guys Vince wanted who didn't have like a $2 million a year contract. They came up with that awesome idea for the relaunch in Spokane Washington with Arn Anderson giving possibly the worst color commentary in the history of the bizness. That whole deal was a fucking mess.
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 That Buff story is amazing. Colt saying "but the cable guy" had me cracking up.
odessasteps Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I remember Buff showing up on WCWSN and missy hyatt gushing over "marcus alexander bagwell from sprayberry high." And knew he was dead in the water.
Craig H Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Buff's story about shooting his dad sounds like 1000% bullshit. If Hogan came out next Monday and said he main evented Wrestlemania 3 with 300,000 people in attendance, I would be more inclined to believe that, than I would Buff's story, and I was in attendance at Wrestlemania 3.
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I believe Buff shot his dad, but I think the stroy may be off. Buff doesn't sound like the brightest guy in the room. 1.6 gpa....check. Making up words like functionaliable......check. Competing agains Big Poppa Pump for the best body in WCW.......motherfucking CHECK!!!
