Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 24, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 24, 2016 I listened to the Ric Flair one yesterday. Never listened to his show before so don't know if it was usual, but the audio quality was terrible. Ā Sadly this is not unusual. There have been a few episodes of Ric's show that I have had to give up on trying to listen to because the quality was just so poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Ric's shows vary is audio quality, I've had to turn a couple off they were so bad which is a shame as the content is usually pretty good. Make sure to catch the recent show with Mongo, it'd a fun listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 What I don't get is, this isn't Johnny Midnight making a podcast and paying for it himself and losing money each time he makes one. Ā The audio on his shows was terrible quality, but the content was pretty good on all the ones I listened to. Ā But you can forgive him, because he's not Ric Flair. Ā I assume Flair gets paid pretty well for doing them, and is backed by a big professional podcast company, so how can they excuse putting such terrible shit out there, even if they don't charge for it. Ā I don't think I remembered hearing any adverts like you do with Austin/Jericho etc, so maybe I'm wrong. Ā But if it was a radio show of that kind of sound quality it wouldn't be taken seriously.

Merzbow Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 They do similar ads on Ric's show, Casper Matress seems to be the main one but even while doing them they have the same audio problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gaffer Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I have to say I was shocked listening that Ambrose being a heel was even being bandied about as a concept. He's such a bankable crowd popper. Ā I really hope Ambrose doesn't become one of those great what if stories. He may be lingering in the upper midcard for ages but it's not like the guy is a Ryback. You can turn the heat up on him virtually any time. He's that rare gift of being a guy people... just cheer for. It's what they do. People cheer Dean Ambrose. Ā He has this bizarre appeal to all sectors of the audience despite his character in a way Mankind had around 1999. Serious but funny. Violent but sort of scrappy and huggable. He can alternate between these worlds seamlessly with seemingly no bothering contradictions from a TV character perspective and the chicks dig him. Ā And me. Total mancrush.

King Pitcos Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I listened to Jericho's November podcast with Luke Harper last night and really liked it. Jericho toned down the silly voices a lot, and Harper was great. It was fun to hear that Harper doing that southern accent was Vince's idea, and he got a bollocking when he did a promo without the accent. Y2J gets by far the best guests. It looks like most of Austin's now don't really have a guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Taco Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yeah, Jericho has improved tenfold -Ā toned down the wacky persona, usually skips an opening monologue now and gets straight into the interviews. I know he doesn't like doing telephone interviews unless necessary, so more often than he has his guest with him and it improves the conversation. Was just listening to the JTG one this morning, seems like a nice (but dense) guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Next WWE Network podcast for Austin will be with Big Show. Could go either way that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Fuck's sake, another one that's already been done. Ā Mind you, I suppose they could take about his 2 or 3 face/heel turns since his last appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Cabana's podcast this week (preview of his new podcast venture) is interesting. Never really heard of Tom Magee before, and story is told well by Cabana and Meltzer.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 All I know of him is that Vince wanted to make him World Champion at one point, but he was the utter shits in the rings but has the body so you can see why Vince would have wanted to make him a star. He turned up in All Japan at some point too and still very much the shits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 13, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Talent usually didnt matter to Vince. The look was always the thing that got blood in it. I wonder if Vince didnt fall in love with the Ultimate Warrior, they'd have just kept trying and trying with MaGee. Hogan had the build and the charisma, but MaGee had the abs and the sexy hair. So when Warrior came along with abs, the sexy hair and this weird charisma, he must have went "bollocks to this bloke" and got fully on the good ship Hellwig.

Mutts Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 For someone trawling back thru history upto 1995 at the moment The New Generation Podcast & 20 years of nitro are invaluable & entertaining avialable from all the usual placesĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Can't say I've heard of 20 Years of Nitro. Just had a look at it, and I don't know if I could take a week by week review of it. Doing it PPV by PPV is fine, but analysing week by week could be a bit of a slog. Ā Tonight's Austin Network Podcast with Big Show is live straight after RAW rather than the pre-recorded format that HBK & Flairs were. Needless to say, I'm sure there will be some that think Austin being at RAW means he working some kind of angle to build to a match Wrestlemania. So let's just get it all out of our systems now and accept that he won't be Edited February 15, 2016 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
