returner82 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 He used to come out with some bollocks when he'd appear on QVC! Someone ought to lock him and Tommy Boyd in a room together and see who comes out with the biggest pile of bullshit about the wrestling business!

pitseleh Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Had to stop myself from laughing out loud on the train earlier because the latest episode of Wrestle Me had me in stitches. Highly recommended that podcast. Any suggestions for other funny wrestling podcasts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impressions are better than Prichards, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 7, 2018 I havent listened to a Lapsed Fan podcast in ages but they are brilliant. Easily the most detailed podcast that focusses on specific events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 New Generation put out there ‘Top 50 Moments of the Podcast’ episode. I’ve done it in increments over 4 days as it’s nearly 6hrs long, but it’s worth it. #5 had me in stitches as I hadn’t heard since the episode that it was from, and I’d kind of guessed what #1 would be, but again it had me laughing loads because that moment is hilarious and everyone should see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an incurable insomniac, the lengthy episodes are a godsend for me. I could probably do without the listeners' messages and the shilling of Patreon, but they put a shift in so I'm glad if they're making money out of it without using adverts. Patterson, get in here!

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted October 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) He wasn’t able to come to our radio station due to transport issues. Due to missing flights and delayed trains he was HOURS late. What was going to be a 20 minute studio interview was now a 5 minute on location interview. That location now being in a working mans club, in Byker. (Granted, the Q&A was in the function room). Ignoring Big Nose Jonesy and Pete the Fisherman harping on about tiling and the foreigners in the background, we think we managed a semi decent interview with Eric Bischoff. This whole thing was surreal, but he was a pleasure to chat with! https://t.co/YxTNMDKDRv?amp=1 We have some other interviews and content lined up, so aye, please chuck us a follow. If we get 100 followers by November 17th, we’ll do a prize draw for this signed poster. Cheers Edited October 11, 2018 by Kaz Hayashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted October 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Just thought I’d pop this in here too. Just uploaded an interview to the Steel Chair Magazine website we conducted with North Wrestling owner, Andrew Bowers. Had a lot of fun with this one and I must say, from the live shows I’ve attended, they’re nailing it. https://vulturehound.co.uk/2018/10/the-great-up-north-with-andrew-bowers-from-north-wrestling/ Edited October 14, 2018 by Kaz Hayashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted October 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 14, 2018 I’m really sorry, I’m just being a prick now. In fairness all 3 posts are completely separate from each other (Soz modz). The first annual Wrestling Podcast Awards Are now open for voting. Lots of categories and loads of brilliant entries, based of submissions from the public, the hosts themselves and the other public. Yours truly is sponsoring the event (trophy / prizes blah), and it’s being promoted & hosted by twitter: @wrestlehub - Voting station here: https://t.co/8T4tFbpbct?amp=1 - Official tweet here: https://mobile.twitter.com/TheWrestleHub/status/1051548442160492545 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 ^ I really feel like we should've known that was a thing at some point... Anyway, to go along with this clearly-not-award-winning witty banter, here's a show we did the other week - member 1PW? Member not paying bills and being based virtually exclusively in Doncaster? Member Steve Corino and Corey Graves with long hair? Well this show covers the first year or so of that, right up intol Death #1. Since two of us actually worked for the promotion, it gives a few insights into the inner workings of the company amongst other details of how it started up and a few amusing stories of the reality of the somewhat infamous promotion that lots of people vociferously loved and others very much did not. Link is here: https://anchor.fm/royal-grumble/episodes/1PW---YEAR-ONE-e2bat0 We'll be doing a few more of these using the connections of the people who were there at the time. Hope you enjoy it!

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted October 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) In regards to these awards, just to make it clear and transparent, I was asked to become involved as a sponsor after it started so I’m not actually sure how it came to fruition. Secondly, we’re simply sponsoring it (prizes for winners) and have nothing to do with it’s workings, so feel free to mention any concerns to the organisers. What I can say is, from what I understand, they (Wrestle Hub) promoted it as much as they could for weeks on end. We (Grapple Arcade)promoted it on our twitter feed and also discussed it on our radio show. It was never going to reach everyone considering their size, but it reached enough to turn it in to something. Those pods involved (big & small) also seem to be happy with the way Wrestle Hub have conducted themselves so far. If not, I’d have fuck all to do with it and I’ve said as much privately and publicly. Also, a couple of people online had a pop at Wrestle Hub saying it was full of under 1000 subscriber pods. Which is A) bollocks considering the likes of Jericho, Pritchard and cultaholic are on there. And B) the most pretentious thing I’ve ever heard. Why should the new/up and coming pods not get a sniff? On top of that, it was listeners and fans of the podcasts that voted as to who made it through to nominations, and considering that within 3 hours there has apparently been over 400 votes cast, it seems to be doing alright. Don’t get me wrong, there are some glaring omissions, but their fans (including me) didn’t nominate them. I don’t envy them for taking the task on, but I can understand why they have. If it gains traction they can put on a larger scale version next year (unless someone else does) therefore potentially gaining a larger audience. It’s got to start somewhere and there’s always going to be unhappy podcasters that it didn’t reach, and that’s fair from both ends, but Wrestle Hub were present and again, there were plenty who seemed to notice. That’s the problem when there’s 1000000 podcasters though. But yeah, the voters voted and the winner will receive one of my shit trophys. Lucky bastards.

Daaaaaad! Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I’ll level with you Kaz I was more cursing myself for not putting us forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted October 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Ahh I get you, all good man, and that above wasn’t a direct gripe at you either. There have been a few absolute bellends on twitter... completely expected I may add. Some of who saying “why didn’t you add so and so, this is obviously shit”. They say as much after it’s been explained that every single pod that was put forward by the public or the pods themselves made the cut. No one was excluded who was submitted. It would be unfair for the organisers to add pods on their own accord as it could be deemed biased. So yeah, some people will always moan regardless. It’s been created in good sports with the view that the first one is just that, the first one, and they’ll hopefully learn and grow for next year. One thing I am really happy about being involved with this for (even as a sponsor) is that it has so far been completely fair. No chance we’re sponsoring next year, with the amount of prizes we collate, create send out, that’s my category next year, defo going to enter as a participant. I must also say, everyone of the participants have been an absolute pleasure to chat with, no bullshit at all, and all very supportive of each other. It’s great that the community can shine through in a positive light, bypassing some of the sheer bungles who have tried to pop up on twitter. They’ve just announced they’re doing a free prize draw for everyone who votes. Edited October 15, 2018 by Kaz Hayashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
