    Watching the Rumble pre show now. Every once in a while the stream is jumping back a few seconds then completely pausing as it catches up with itself. Annoying as fuck. Is this a common thing or something that can be fixed? Cheers!

    I hardwired my Apple TV directly to my router via ethernet cable. don’t get any lag or glitching anymore and is super fast, rather than using the wireless connection

  2. PM me mate and I can get you one and send it if you like? I’ve gotta go there tomorrow anyway, I wanna pick up some for the ‘kids’ (i.e me) whilst the wife is at work 

     

    just saw they have a ring coming out in April too - reliving my childhood lol

    Maybe yeah, with the nature of the legal issues and the idea of him having a kids toy out, it’s a bit sketch.

    Anyway, I’ve got this in the post enroute. Been after the Reigns and Owens for months, but were USA exclusives, managed to find someone selling their collection and got this for a cracking deal. Only need the Reigns now.

    The Russo podcast is really good. Prichard gives him credit where credit is due but also calls him out on some bullshit too so it's well balanced.

    It does seem like for the most part he was fairly truthful in his book from his POV to be fair.

    He makes ludicrous statements like he came up with the Montreal screwjob and 'the rock' gimmick!

    I just got done with this, having not read russo book, some of the stuff he claims to have done makes him look insane. probably my favorite podcast  

    Yeah, he basically claimed in his book he came up with so many ideas we are familiar with he comes across like a lunatic or a seriously delusional compulsive liar! I don't know how those guys kept it together so well

    Its a real shame because I think he is the best wrestling writer of all time.The quality of the Powerslam Years ebook was outstanding.  Always felt it was priced way too low to make a profit out of it, especially given the insane amount of time it must have taken to research and write.  Really going to miss his work.

     

    Do we know if he is going to carry on podcasting?

    Are you on drugs?

     

    The guy has zero objectivity on people he dislikes i.e cena and never gave him credit

    I might give Bruce's podcasts a try, is it good to start from the beginning of his podcasts, what episode number should I start from please.

    From the beginning. It's a great podcast, as irritating as some parts are.

     

    At the start Prichard was annoying, since he's such a bullshitter & contradicts everything Meltzer says just for the sake of it (Conrad uses The Observer for 95% of his research). And I liked Conrad from the Flair podcast. But now it's like they've both done a 180. I've warmed to Prichard because I get him more now. He's still carny as fuck but he's giving us a lot more now than he was at the start, and he seems less defensive. I think he likes doing the podcast now since it has good numbers & good reviews. At the start he seemed to be doing it begrudgingly.

     

    Conrad is still a good host, but his ego has grown massively to where he berates Prichard pointlessly, throws hissy fits, keeps cracking open cans of coke to guzzle down his massive gob mixed in with some dry roasted peanuts, and sounds really uncool when he curses.

     

    But I really look forward to the show each week, because Prichard was there for all the best eras in WWF/WWE. Every topic is something I grew up on, and using The Observer as a source works really well too because you're also getting Meltzer's take on things. So rather than ask Prichard an open-ended question (which he would end up talking a lot about, but saying very little), Conrad tells him something Meltzer said, and asks him to elaborate. So there are a number of interesting dynamics in play.

    Even though I'm finding Conrad really annoying and getting big for his boots with 'we are the most DL'd podcast! Schtick I'm finding it the most interesting podcast of the week to look forward to! Fuck me it musta cost a bomb to fly flair in business class and his fee, looking at around 15k surely?!?

    I'm hoping Edge & Christian's podcast will improve over time. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly good either. The best part was Gallows calling in as Howard Finkel at the start.

     

    With so many other wrestling podcasts to choose from these days though, there's just no room for shows where the guest is talking to them on the phone for an hour. I can't be fucked having to listen extra carefully to hear what's being said.

     

    Shane McMahon is on there on Friday.

    Gallows and Anderson are so entertaining when they podcast!!

    It's all going to go tits up in about a year. Every podcast loses steam eventually, and I dont think Conrad will be able to handle when people go "nah, not as good as it used to be."

    He retweets every compliment he gets. Sometimes I look at Twitter and there are 15 RTs in a row of people sucking his balls. His ego has grown to massive proportions.

    Exactly! He was on the MLW flagship show before Xmas and was carrying on like he was an expert, saying contrary to everything the guys were saying!

     

    His Twitter is annoying, people tweeted me abuse when he retweeted me saying 'becoming?!' The best podcast out there

     

    Is the reason he's not doing flairs show because of heat around the sunny podcast detailing Michaels affair with her?

  11. Had to unfollow Conrad Thompson on twitter. Sent him an innocent tweet saying keep up the good work, your podcast with Bruce is 'becoming the best wrestling one out there'

     

    He just tweeted me back 'becoming?' - lol - this guy is getting too big for his boots! Seems like it's going to his head

  12. Anybody listen to the 6:05 suierpodcast with Brian last? He's great on the corvette pod but his podcasts are like 4 hours long

     

    Love the mlw networks stuff - the flagship show,writers room as Bauer and pollock are all great

     

    Love something to wrestle with too! I just wish Bruce wouldn't fucking dodge questions all the time
