Paid Members WeeAl Posted November 16, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2016 I always get a sense of dread whenever the decide to go to a fan call. I like their analysis most of the time, but as soon as you throw to a fan you just know that there is a very high chance of it being some absolute dribbler who thinks that Cesaro should be World Champion This is is Jim, from Virginia. . . Â It's near enough always the same damn people calling in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted November 16, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Whenever a show takes calls you get the feeling they're patting themselves on the back for the fan engagement - when the only fans actually having a good time are the gobshites who call in. Everyone else wants Ed In San Antonio to get to fuck. Edited November 16, 2016 by Benno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum1993 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The worst caller on the Torch is the guy named Kylon or something from New Jersey. He's the guy who calls in and has some sort of like stammer where he talks incredibly slowly and takes like 5 minutes to ask a question. Incredibly painful to listen to.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 16, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2016 He's got cerebral palsy. Sadly most wrestlers think he's on the wind up, because when he asks he questions, they generally have that "fuck this guy" tone in their voice.

Ambulance Chaser Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Thing is he asks some of the better questions it just takes him a while to get there, 95% of the callers are proper special bus material, the lad from Australia who always rings in is pretty decent also.  I was a long time subscriber to the Torch but a few things persuaded me to jack it in, I can't stand that cunt Travis Bryant, he seems such an angry, bitter bastard and he brings my mood down whenever he is on, also James Caldwell left the team, I quite enjoyed him so that further pushed me out the door.  As has been said above, I like Keller, his long winded analogies can get tedious but for the most part it's my go to podcast for TV/PPV reviews.

WyattSheepMask Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Becky Lynch is today's guest on Steve Austin Unleashed. Could well be worth a listen as she talks about the break she took from wrestling aswell as all the other stuff you'd expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 17, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2016 Not sure how "real" it was, but Vince Russo has brutally buried his podcasting partner Jeff Lane on this week's podcasts. Lane wasn't present to give his side but Russo was pretty harsh if it was a bit of a work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Which podcast is better, Austin or Jericho's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Depends on whether you like Austin or Jericho more really. I find Jericho a little overbearing at times so only generally listen if he has a guest on who I really dig. Â Each to their own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted November 17, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2016 Jericho doesn't have Ted Fowler on his, so definitely Jericho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 17, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2016 if you want to talking about shows featuring wrestling guests i'd put them on an even setting, Jericho's are a little more fun to listen too i'd say but Austin's a great interviewer. Non-wrestling-wise i prefer Jericho based purely on the fact that he has guests on that interest me, whereas Austin tends to focus on hunters and brewers.

Merzbow Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I find them both unlistenable without good guests these days, Austin's stuck in a loop with the same old shite. Â Killing The Town with Lance Storm and Cyrus is pretty entertaining, mainly for Cyrus of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 hmm, ok. Â I might do a trial run on them all ( also with JR/Cabana/Lance storm) and just see which I prefer. I dont really have time for all of them, but I'll have a go and pick 1 or 2 to stick with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Personal preference but for me I can listen to Austin talk to anybody, about anything, I fucking love the random ones he does with Ted Fowler and I find myself listening to him talk about his new Broken Skull Knife and loving it. His openings are great, he's such a bumbling mess at times, his stories about getting his car clamped or going to the doctors has me in stitches. Â I'd say Jericho is more professional and has his shit together whilst Austin is more random and off the cuff, like last week he thought he had a podcast recordered ahead of time and found out on the day he didn't, so rang Ted Fowler and they spoke about hunting and bloke shit for an hour.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted November 17, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 17, 2016 I don't really like the Ted Fowler stuff but I'm with you Dodgy Lawyer, Austin is a great listen whatever he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
