digitalversicolor Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Superb podcast and a breath of fresh air to hear Moxley speaking so candidly about his issues and problems with that whole WWE machine. I honestly can't wait to keep up with what he does going forward, now the restrictions are gone. Now it's been confirmed, I just see the WWE as the human centipede of wrestling, shitting out terrible ideas and regurgitating them ad nauseam until Vince pops his clogs. That's why it doesn't matter about what WWE do at this point, they're so far into their own bubble that they're killing themselves from the inside out.
Keith Houchen Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 I reckon Vince's reaction to the news that Roman had cancer was "Hair Vs Hair Match, you'll have chemo and lose it all anyway so lets run with it".
Mr.Showtime Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Great podcast, worth a listen as already mentioned. On the flipside, you gotta be kinda impressed with the mental toughness that must be found in the guys that actually remain in WWE. Of course there are upsides and they've got a lot to be thankful for etc., but so many of the talents must feel exactly the same as Moxley, love "wrestling" just as much, are having that passion seep out from them, yet will fight on regardless.
The King of Old School Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I imagine most are just happy to get there pay cheque.
Mr.Showtime Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Yeah of course. Like I say, a few will still feel like him though. Many people can work forever and not have/need a passion for that vocation. But for some, as Moxley said, no amount of zeroes on his contract would have persuaded him to stay. I'm probably not going to latch onto AEW but I hope he gets the freedom and happiness he's after and I'm sure he will.
WyattSheepMask Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Well it was only a matter of time, but Conrad Thompsonis about to launch an ECW based podcast, along with Joel Gertner
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted May 30, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 30, 2019 Three things that stuck with me about the Moxley podcast: 1) Jericho opening all Carney with ‘This was recorded before Double or Nothing and after what he did, I’d slap him in his face if he had been in front of me’ or something akin to that, followed not two minutes later by Jericho and Moxley discussing how great Double or Nothing was. 2) Moxley sounds like a cross between Joan Rivers and Marty Gilbert from Independence Day. 3) He’s actually a very interesting man, is Moxley and I’m looking forward to seeing if he can lend credence to and back up his opinion of himself, now he’s off the leash.

Agreed - its a bit "Hello!" magazine but I'd also like to know the story of how he managed to snag Renee Young the charming, hunky, dirty bastard

Jonny Vegas Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I think it gives an interesting insider perspective of what we see every week on WWE TV. The vast majority of things that happen that make people look like stars are improvised largely on the spot by the talent themselves. For example Becky Lynch in the brawl before Survivor Series. A team of writers and Vince then take that and over produce it into stuff that's rarely better than awful and it kills their momentum stone dead. It also makes me wonder whether Seth Rollins is the most boring and uninteresting WWE/Universal Champ of all time or whether it's solely shitty writing causing his horribly forced and awkward promos.

Max Power Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Liam I love your show but this review of Meltz watching Double or Nothing was a little too much. Does Kieran post on here as MPDTT?

Some fair critique, the Melzter watch-along was fun and the Bischoff story at the end is triumphant! The excitement from you three about modern wrestling is infectious, it's wonderful to hear.
