Paid Members tiger_rick Posted July 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 First half of the Hogan/Austin pod is tremendous. The old fucker can't half spin a yarn. I love austin's non-confrontational way of just asking "Shoot?" at the particularly obvious bullshit. Like his continued claim that Andre called the WM3 finish in the ring.

The Gaffer Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) I still enjoy Attitude Era, but it's had its day and I think I listen mostly out of routine now. I still prefer it to hours of Conrad bringing up things from the Observer newsletter and Bruce going "yeah, ahm, it was the time y'know". They do need to chill out on the righteous offense, though, even as far as the Attitude Era goes. "So we have Los Boricuas, who are Puerto Rican and also a violent gang, Billy." "JEEEESUS CHRIST KEVIN." I mean I get that those years of television had some true low moments, but they seriously put on the outrage for things that are just...stupid wrestling things. On the flip side, despite my recent misgivings about the current output, OSW's new SummerSlam 93 review is fantastic. Check it out. Better yet, they're abandoning changing up the current arc and are sticking with New Gen shows until WrestleMania XI!

Annoys me that pretty much everything they don't like is 100% Russo. Anything they do like....someone else. It's still a fairly good podcast, but that main host, the Irish guy is irritating as anything. The show would be much better without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitoRyo Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I know he's not everyone's favourite but I am really enjoying unfiltered JR these days. About ten minutes into the latest Grilling JR (SummerSlam '97) and he's already called Bruce Prichard out for defending the Dr. Heiney bollocks on his last STW episode (on JR) and stressed that WCW were winning in '97 because they had a better roster and a better product. Really refreshing to hear him talk without constraints and to do so very honestly. I'm becoming more of a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted August 2, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2019 Yeah, JR comes off pretty loose at the moment. I still listen to all the Conrad podcasts, and Jr's is easily the best currently. Prichard must be going through the chap stick at an abhorrent pace. Brutal, bro.

Winston Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hogan on the Stone Cole podcast is worth a listen. He comes across well in it. A random burial of Brutus Beefcake my own personal highlight 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I was pretty disappointed, but that’s more likely down to me expecting Hogan to come out with a load of shite (which he does because he always has) but a lot of it you’ve heard many times before over the years, although he claiming Vince put the kibosh on Hogan becoming Original Triple H/Hollywood Hulk Hogan in 1990 was probably as much as we got. With regards to Hogan admitting to sabotaging the WM6 post-Match to put the focus on himself, is that the first time he’s actually admitted it? I know it’s been mentioned before, but I’ve no recollection of him being the one saying it? Either way, if you want mad wrestler lies, stick with Billy Jack Haynes shoot interviews Edited August 5, 2019 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted August 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 5, 2019 I was under the impression Hogan admitted to that in his book about fifteen years ago. I might not be remembering it correctly but that's where I had it in my head that he had owned up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) You could be right actually, but it’s been forever since I read that, and I gave it to a mate so he could have a good laugh at it as well. The one particular thing that I do remember from that book was Hogan’s logic that steroids were safe because someone told him that they were safer than sugar. “They told me they were safer than sugar. I thought to myself, ‘well I put sugar into my body all the time’, so how bad could they be brother?” Edited August 5, 2019 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Kennedy Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I enjoyed the podcast. Two of the best ever talking about the business is pretty hard to resist. All of the stories Hogan told were new to me. Yes I know Hogan is a racist piece of shit and I still despise him for what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
