Bossman was highly underrated btw imo

[Bad News Gertner]

One of Hogan's highest drawing house show programs.

[Jordan]

Is he? I feel like most people here would agree that he was pretty great. Should he have been somebodies world champion? Nah, I don't think so but he did get a lot of big programs and had his main event's with Hogan.

I also fondly remember him in WCW in particular there was a match with Vader at Spring Stampede 94 that I always really enjoyed.

I was usually bored with him in the ring during his WWF run in the late 90's. Though he has a lot of memorable "acting" moments especially with Big Show and his dead daddy and Al Snow. He was fucking hilarious.

[drave]

Corporate Security Bossman FTW.


He would bang on the steel steps with his nightstick before every match. Loved Corporate Security Bossman.

ahahh! so fucking good

Bossman was such a hot babyface in the WWF, the theme slapped and always popped the crowd. His energy, sweating profusely from all the meat he's eaten, the dude is seriously bad ass and he looked like he was gonna really hurt people.

I loved him as a heel in the 90's. I think he was an underrated heel I guess....he was so good at getting heat but ya I didn't mean he should be world champ or anything. I just think he gets overlooked in general

I'm fucking ecstatic about this one...def a must to fit in my podcast rotation

[Crippla]

But Conrad has so many damn podcasts that I'm praying we don't just get him for the first one and then Paul Bromwell shows up every time. Foley and Conrad interacting sounds like new money to me!

[Bad News Gertner]

Paul Bromwell on a show is an instant delete.

[Crippla]

Yeah he sucks but that other guy that has been doing Kurt Angles podcast, Jon something or other with the effeminate voice is even worse.

[Crippla]

They are both just so bland and terrible

[Bad News Gertner]

I don't listen to that one. Kurt is so dull.

[Crippla]

He was entertaining at first but he has gotten dull and just gives basic answers. Doesn't even really have a conversation now to be honest

[Jordan]

I am not currently listening to any wrestling podcasts everything has lost my interest. I was enjoying Jarrett's but just fell out. Foley is Pod especially being with Conrad is ideal. He will ask a lot of great questions based off Foley's books likely instead of just The Observer.

[Jordan]

Really want to know how he was paid in Japan by IWA/FMW and if he enjoyed his accommodations and stuff. IDK what it is but the whole late 80's early 90's death match scene in Japan fascinates the shit out of me and Cactus and Terry are the two than can really shed light on it.

[Crippla]

Foley is always entertaining and I enjoy listening to Stone Cold podcast once in a while too because he pretty much speaks just like his character irl. Love hearing him tell stories completely unrelated to wrestling

Kliq This with Nash and Sean might be good.

That will be amazing, I love listening to them....Nash especially is very entertaining in his story telling. It's a shame Scott Hall passed because the three of them together would have been gold but of course the podcast well still most likely be good

I like Conrad for the most part he does annoy me sometimes but I like how he never beats around the bush and he's not afraid to touch on any subject that might be controversial for the wrestler to talk about

This is one of the best things I've seen in a while. I wonder if Funk was ribbing them or if this was the match which was put together. Seemed like a rib based off the reactions of the opponents.


Fucking hilarious though. You could see when he was whipped into the ropes, but did the hand-plant top-rope exit, the frustration of the guy as soon as he saw Funk put his arm down to catch himself.


Watching it again :rofl::rofl::rofl:

His head folded up on his s body like a folding a towel... I'm surprised his neck didn't snap

[Big Vic]

Yeah they are both awesome. Shelton is something else though. He should have been a main event guy.

Never was going to happen.

His in ring ability is proportionate to his lack of speaking ability.

Could have had him beat Christian in their WWECW title ladder match since the Brand was going to die about a month later anyway.

[Crippla]

Could have had him beat Christian in their WWECW title ladder match since the Brand was going to die about a month later anyway.

Not to mention they made it a point to show the WWECW title was less valuable than the other world titles in many ways so it would have been more of an equivalent to Shelton winning the IC belt (which he had already done) anyway. But he still would have been in a main event in their C show at the time I suppose

[Big Vic]

Actually I want to scratch that statement. Give William Regal Ezekiel Jackson's WWECW title reign, have confetti fall and everything. Much more deserving of a "world" title reign than anyone on that brand.

i'm assuming they mean total matches on record

https://www.cagematch.net/
https://www.wrestlingdata.com/

[Crippla]

Because I really can't remember Charlie Haas having one cage match in 2003 let alone 147.

[Crippla]

Wow I'm an idiot! Cage match is the name of the site lol so it's the most matches in general in the US or Canada

[Crippla]

Very interesting though I definitely would have guessed wrong on the majority of these years

[Crippla]

Brian Pullman Jr. has the most with 70 in 2020...fucking covid

[ron the dial]

apparently john wayne murdoch had 135 death matches last year because i don't think he has regular matches...

[Bad News Gertner]

Bobby Eaton had 336 matches in 84 lol

[Crippla]

1998: Billy(191) I'm assuming that's Billy Gunn since he did go by Billy even though that wasn't until late 2001

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, 1998: Billy

Interesting stuff. You’d expect some of those guys to have wrestled more, but I guess the records aren’t complete.

Charlie Haas getting on there is interesting. A few names surprise me. Myron Reed seems to be working hard.

I’m sure I’ve read about Kane, Dean Ambrose and Sheamus having worked the most matches over the course of a year before, but they don’t appear on this list where I thought they would.

[Crippla]

Kane in 1999 seems one of the most believable to me now that I think about it. It's fun to go back each year and kind of break down what the wrestler was doing month by month/program by program

Oh dang. WWE is pulling out of the stadium show for MITB, presumably because of poor ticket sales or Sgt. Slaughter calling in another bomb threat.

Always seemed pretty crazy to do a non big 4 stadium show in the same month you’re doing a big 4 stadium show

[#1-norm-fan]

That “big 4” has quickly become a “big 1”. The fact that they even tried to expand it is insane.

[#1-norm-fan]

Sasha and Naomi calling in a bomb threat is probably the reason though.

[ron the dial]

how unprofessional!

[Fignuts]

Gormless, one might even say.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Money in the Bank was a weird step in that direction. 2011 was an awesome PPV, but is it really hot enough to justify a stadium in the same month as another stadium show? The Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and one other fit the stadium billing. This year it’s Clash at the Castle.

[#1-norm-fan]

Money in the Bank was a weird step in that direction. 2011 was an awesome PPV.

AGREED!

[Evil Vito]

MITB felt more important than Survivor Series in terms of being “big 4” worthy but it still didn’t feel THAT important since most MITB reigns/cash ins were forgettable.

I miss when Survivor Series was good :( it’s been ages

[#1-norm-fan]

They tried to make Survivor Series special again by making it “the one night you can see Raw vs Smackdown (and temporarily, vs NXT)”.

D’Lo Brown…I still think about that guy. It’s a shame he got heat and they cooled him off A LOT by 2001. Wasn’t he talking about going to WCW and it got him heat or something?

I completely forgot they released him and then brought him back for a spell in 2008.

[Bad News Gertner]

He was on Brisco and Bradshaw's show. He said he never spoke to WCW but because he was perceived as a Vince Russo guy, they figured he'd jump to WCW like Jarrett did so his push died

[Mr. Nerfect]

He was on Brisco and Bradshaw's show. He said he never spoke to WCW but because he was perceived as a Vince Russo guy, they figured he'd jump to WCW like Jarrett did so his push died

Lol yeah I remember him coming back in 08. He beat Santino on Raw.

Interesting. That sucks for him. The Droz incident obviously affected him too. What if’s, man.

Yeah they never really had anything for him after that and I don't think that's a coincidence. D'lo himself said that in an interview as well

A lot of those guys that came in between 97/98 cooled off. They had been around for a while now and on weekly t.v constantly. D lo just ran out of places to go freshen up after WCW folded.

Lol, putting the belts on Roman wasn’t a mistake.

I don’t think it’s the act of putting the belts on him that’s being called out, it’s the perceived lack of anything after.

Personally I don’t mind it. It breaks the cycle of someone gets a shot, screwy finish, rematch at the next big show. Also means Roman isn’t burning through contenders. They’re clearing lining up Riddle for a programme (albeit a loss) that he should come out of looking stronger, and Orton, and McIntyre has already announced his shot.

They could be doing more with the undercard but HIAC has lined up to be a pretty solid card without a world title match. Seth/Cody blow off in the Cell is a worthy main event - and I like that there’s only one Cell match this time. The 6 person tag if quite unique for WWE. I’d question whether Ezekie/Owens is a “PPV worthy match” but it’s over with the crowd. Ali/Theory for the US Championship feels a bit flimsy but Ali is in front of his hometown, can’t see him getting the win but a chance to show what he can do. The womens triple threat should be a great match, not convinced they way they got to it did anybody any favours though. Corbin/Moss I can definitely take a pass on. Lashley/Omos III this time featuring MVP I can also do without.

All in all it’s got enough “peaks and troughs” to be a decent show. Then we get Roman at MITB + 2 ladder matches, Roman/Orton at SummerSlam, and Roman/McIntyre at CATC. He’ll be on the Saudi show November 5th, and for as much as I’d like Survivor Series to be seen as a big show again, I’d probably give him the night off there.

A lot of feedback I’ve seen has been that people are enjoying the shows more now that it’s focused on the stories (as good or as bad as they are). Having a big, fake secondary belt isn’t going to make the shows “better” for the marks that are complaining. It’s just silly internet talk.

They’ve got plans for Roman, as you’ve laid out. The other major people will be in other major programs. Why would they hit a phantom panic switch and just throw everything in the air for a few obsessive nerds on the internet’s bad ideas?

So WWE announced that Cody Rhodes has suffered an injury. He was pulled from a card but was still there and made the save to close the show. Dave Meltzer is reporting torn pec and that he might miss a year with a fully torn one. But Dave doesn’t have any WWE sources anymore. Probably him trying to dampen Cody, because I doubt they have Cody work with a torn pec.

Bryan Danielson has also reportedly suffered an injury that prevents him from being able to fly. This is from Sean Ross Sapp, who seems spotty a lot of the time, but does get some things right. Nothing has been confirmed about that. But an injury that prevents you from flying? I mean, unless he’s just worried about comfort, that sounds like a concussion, which isn’t good.

I’m not up-to-date on my concussion advice. Thanks for that. Word going around is that it is a concussion. It’s possible that Danielson just chose not to fly with it for his own comfort (not that it would make it worse or anything), or because he follows archaic advice on concussions/has a bit of voodoo associated with them.

To be fair, Noid doesn’t say Dave is wrong all the time. He concedes that he’s spot on when he critiques AEW or reports anything that can be perceived as making AEW look bad. You know what they say though: “even a blind squirrel can get Noid to agree with it when it’s criticising AEW”.

Lol, how did they even get to me and my views on Dave? I was shitting on the AEW/Punk situation per xrod’s posts.

I used to defend Dave. It’s become so fucking apparent he has no WWE contacts and is trying to smear WWE and prop up AEW. Whether that’s just his prerogative or because he thinks it will sell more newsletters, I don’t know. But does anyone even try to deny that now?

Dave’s criticisms about AEW are more relevant than his praising of them or critiques of WWE because it goes against his best interests. Fox News reporting a Republican scandal is very different to them trying to expose a Democratic one.

D’Lo Brown…I still think about that guy. It’s a shame he got heat and they cooled him off A LOT by 2001. Wasn’t he talking about going to WCW and it got him heat or something?

I completely forgot they released him and then brought him back for a spell in 2008.

He was on Brisco and Bradshaw's show. He said he never spoke to WCW but because he was perceived as a Vince Russo guy, they figured he'd jump to WCW like Jarrett did so his push died

Interesting. That sucks for him. The Droz incident obviously affected him too. What if’s, man.

Lol D'lo hated Lo Down...he said it was the lowest point in his career

They were my team on WWF Metal lol

1) It always seemed like D'Lo took the Droz thing pretty hard internally and kept it there, and for a good while it even changed how he looked in the ring. Not saying *bad*, but there was a "lack of confidence" look on par with Sean Waltman after he got hurt and toned down the flying after... except D'Lo at least didn't start stringing together the exact same match week in and week out like X-Pac would.

2) Didn't know about the Russo perception, but I was one of those people who thought he would jump to WCW and eventually back, since he seemed to need the fresh coat of paint/change in surroundings. Might've helped him (ringwise) get past his "reservations" sooner, and he always felt like one of those guys who would get an upper roster push upon a WWE return after getting something like the "Lance Storm hat trick" treatment in WCW. There were a few people who could have used jumping ship to potentially better their careers. From both companies. And that was still at a time where people weren't "punished" for leaving.

3) Lo Down had potiential much like New Age Outlaws... but they got thrown into d-show jobber duty.

Foley's podcast is really good. Will definitely be adding it to the rotation.

[erickman]

Listened to Regal's podcast. Wasn't really digging it. Gonna give it a few more shots.

who is hosting it could not find it on westwood

[Bad News Gertner]

It's under Conrad's banner of shows. It was pretty boring. Regal's accent is so soft with not much inflection. I don't have much hope for it

As in they don’t watch wrestling, got a note saying “Ric Flair’s daughter is in the match!”, quickly asked someone what Ric Flair’s daughter’s name was, never heard of the name “Ashley” and typed what they heard phonetically over the noise of a busy Hard Rock casino.

We’re coming up on the 8 year anniversary of Triple H’s “my friend Mark” promo making fun of fans for threatening to tune out. They averaged just 4.4 million viewers that night. This past Monday they averaged just under 1.9m. That promo is going to forever be a meme showing how dense the company is when it comes to reaching their fan base. Lmao guess Mark and friends weren’t lying.

Midway through Regal's second episode. Better than the first but he rambles more than any wrestler podcast that I've heard. Plus his voice. So monotone. Sounds like a British Hannibal.

I remember this one time we were covering a local rassling fed and this big strongman type picked up this tiny little underdog type rassler and just tossed him out of the ring into a structural beam... his foot caught our camera dude on the way down.... Camera operator no sold it though and didn't even fall down.

This other time one dude grabbed our camera cable and used it to choke his opponent, including putting it inside his mouth and pulling and all of us in the truck were just like "What is he doing?! No, stop that!"
