Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2017 Â Keepin' It 100/Killing the Town/The Brand are still my goto podcasts. I dip into others depending on guests but those 3 are my weekly listening. The crossover/feuds between all 3 make for some great listening, i think all parties know the animosity probably leads to more listeners but some of them genuinely seem to dislike each other.Lance Storm absolutely merked Disco Inferno a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure i'd fancy going on killing the town and taking those 2 on if i'm honest, not sure there are many smarter blokes in Wrestling than Storm and Cyrus. Thought Storm came off as a bit of a prick on that. Disco didn't take the bait and argue back, but it was clear from the start that Storm and Cyrus (more Storm which was surprising) were out to bury Disco. It's a good example of how there genuinely seems to be some malice between them, despite them knowing that all the bullshit = listeners. Â Disco went back on Keepin' It 100 and said he was ambushed. Â I like Cyrus, he tells a great story and clearly works the gimmick but you get the sense that he genuinely sees himself as a top rate worker. He talks about his in-ring stuff as if it's some of the greatest in history. Has anyone ever actually seen him work a match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I think Cyrus talking about himself is tongue in cheek, isn't his twitter handle "overhuge" or something, i get the impression he is always on the work, always after a bite.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2017 Yeh he does, but when he drops the schtick you still get the sense that he thinks very highly of himself as a worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Cyrus I take as tongue in cheek, heenan like in over self promoting. I haven't listened to them since the disco episode. Was getting to point of being nasty. And I agreed with disco re the selling. Not everything should be a massive sell. The wrestlers are meant to be larger than life. Storm has his set ways, half watches shows then goes off on one about things he would have seen in full show, and thought Tyler Bate being from Dudley was a rib on the Dudley boys. Can do without ten mins a week of disco reviews and reviews of ecw shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Taco Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Genuinely like Killing the Town, Cyrus is an intelligent guy, but yeah Storm came across badly in the Disco episode. Was proper bullying him. I seem to be in the minority but the ECW recaps are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted February 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) When hearing Cyrus, Konnan and Disco all on other episodes as guests (Jericho's as far as I remember) I really enjoyed them so I tried out their own podcasts. However I haven't given any of them a second listen as hosts. I just didn't enjoy them from first try as hosts as I have with others. Â I don't like to listen to Storm either from when he used to do shows on The Obsever Live now and again. He sounds very intelligent about the business obviously and doesn't take much prompting to talk, but my god he's such a downer on just about everything that I always found him tough to listen to and after a while, I would often avoid episodes he appeared on.

Ambulance Chaser Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Bullying!!! Jesus it's grown men who have been in the Wrestling industry 20 odd years, if they aint got thick enough skin to take a towsing by now then there is no hope. Disco is big enough to sit on Konnans show and give it large or batter that jeff lane on Russo's show so he should be able to take it also. Problem is he said things then got his contradictions pointed out and had no retort. Bear in mind i really like Disco but boy does he tie himself in knots.

Merzbow Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Discos whole gimmick right now is that he enjoys bullying people, he comes straight out and says that so seeing Lance rip the shit out of him was justice. He's also cosying up to the Alt-Right and that's possibly a work but it makes it even more enjoyable to see him cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep81 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Listening to Something To Wrestle With Bruce Prichard On Vader's WWF run. Very interesting. Â Need to listen to some more of these. Only other one I've listened to is their recent WM6 one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2017 I dont want to kill the gimmick, but the Disco/Cyrus stuff is a work (if it wasnt obvious). I dont think anyone in the business dislikes Disco, but hes always been the fall guy on podcasts dating back to WCW Live in 99. He sees his role in pro wrestling as a loser who people laugh at. He lives the gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"That's very disrespectful" and Konnan's kazoo always get a laugh out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feud's over the podcasts are as good as anything on TV for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
