JamieStevenson Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Used to listen to podcasts. Had Austin, Jericho & JR for a while but between them they were just rotating the same bloody people so I gave up altogether. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenMonster Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yeah gets a bit stale with the same people doing the rounds, think the only podcast I have listened to in the last month was one that focuses I think on Japanese wrestling and had Kenny Omega on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) There is a new UK WWE podcast from Talksport of all people. It's 2 episodes in and it's actually not too bad. In the two weeks it's had two cracking interviews with Stephanie Mcmahon and then Seth Rollins this week. I quite like the presenter of the show but the guest guy 'Rob Leigh' sounds like a tw*t and sounds like someone who is only watching wrestling as a job rather than as a fan. It's called 'The Gorilla Position' Edited January 30, 2015 by DavidMcG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'll need to check that one out. I used to love the old Saturday night wrestling show on Talksport with Alex Shane, Tommy Boyd and Katie-Lee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quentin Taranbino Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Thought the Austin-HHH Podcast was excellent and one of the best things I have watched on the network so far. HHH came across really well and made me feel confident that he really knows what the business is all about and the way to take it forward once Vince is gone. Thought he almost tried to bury Vince a few times with different things he said without coming out directly and saying it. In summary from what I gathered: - Reigns is getting his shot and it's pretty much 'sink or swim' for him with his push - Wants Raw to go back to 2 hours but Vince says naw - Wants to give women wrestlers more airtime in proper storylines and matches - Doesn't want Chyna going into hall of fame cause of her porn but deserves to be in it because of what she acheived - NXT is 100% his project and there is alot more freedom for their promos and storylines - Door is open for CM Punk in future if suits both parties - Talks a bit about Kurt Angle, Goldberg, Eddie Guerrero, Warrior, Sammartino, DX etc - Recognises that most network subscribers are hardcore fans/adults so NXT is geared that way - Got the feeling he didn't like scripted promos - Talked about how keyfabe was dead and its about working with reality or something like that - About how writers/creative only have so much influence as once Vince wants something they have to go with it All in all thought he came across very well Edited February 3, 2015 by DavidMcG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon WWE will get better when HHH takes over from Vince. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 As soon as he started talking about the Superbowl, I was close to turning it off. Thank goodness Dunn nearly wrapped him up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It feels weird saying it but I do think Triple H may actually be more 'switched on' than Vince is these days. The thing is, Vince other than perhaps Jim Ross, is the daddy at managing the organisation and I feel if/when Vince were to get something right, it'd explode bigger than it would under anyone else. Definitely beginning to think it's time though as the product just misfires on such a consistent basis these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1800Mitch Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think Vince needs to do more public speaking. His reputation is taking a battering lately and he can't defend himself. I hope he doesn't end up like Howard Hughes or something, pissing in cups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sliced Bread Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I've tried a few of them and the only one I listen to regularly is Smart Wrestling Fan. It's been on forever and the quality varies but it's usually pretty entertaining and level headed. I keep an eye on the feeds for Jericho, Cabana and Austin and download episodes if they have a guest I'm interested in. I find Jericho quite annoying as a host when he's goofing around at the start and he's such a sycophant to whoever his guest is, he just agrees with everything. Austin at least asks the right questions but I don't enjoy listening to him. There's a bit too much of a circuit at the moment. Too many podcasts, same guests answering all the same questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 The amount of time Jericho and JR talk pish before the bring the guest on is infuriating. JR just repeats his 'take on wrestling' every week. He had Shawn Michaels on this week..... 40 plus fucking minutes slabbering absolute shite before we got to the interview. Ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm finding myself listening to Austin's podcast less often now. I don't really care about his ranch or the size of Trader Joe's car park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Patterson Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 After skipping the usual pish at the start, Jericho's latest podcast has a decent interview with Wullie Regal. Always an interesting lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo-bcfc Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Anyone who hasn't seen OSW review's video podcasts are definitely missing out. One of the main things I enjoy about wrestling these days. Very funny and well produced. Well worth a look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sam Robert's wrestling podcast is usually pretty decent. Basically gets straight into the interview then gives his thoughts on the wrestling week after it. I would say that he's probably a bit more positive towards the WWE than most people would be, which can be refreshing from the usual bash at all costs attitude of most fans these days, but on the other hand he does seem to have his head in the sand over some things that he doesn't have a problem with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
