On the Last topic, he gets sent the questions for the drive thru and seems to go through them ahead of time....and yet almost every week without fail we get "This is a terribly written question..." Either edit it beforehand or bypass it then!

I love his shoots/podcasts, but it's maddening that Brian and Corny are reviewing AEW and BOTH miss the main event for different reasons this week. THEY BOTH HAVE DVR's. I'm torn on the shows being 2 and a half hours now.

LOLZ

Jim Ross dropping the big reveal that he paid for an abortion in 1990 and then going into a Jim Barnett impression over telling the news to the WCW office was....was...something....

JR going off on text lingo and emojis at the 24 min mark of the Bret Hart 2010 podcast that was just released had me HOWLING.

Corny is now no longer just passive on Meltz'' love of flippy wrestling, and is openly shitting on Dave harder than ever.

I thought Cranky JR made the Starrcade 88 episode fantastic! This week's Nitro review was highlighted by Conrad shilling for car insurance (ROOT) only to be interrupted by JR telling a story about his football coach calling big cocks "Roots" and how one of his current friends is nicknamed "Swampy"" due to his "Swamp root" which reaches deep in the ground. Conrad no sold it and moved along.

I know the fans voted on it, but this week is my least favorite type of Conrad podcast.... one of his podcast hosts talking about another wrestling personality who has/is covering his own career. I tapped out 20-30 mins in when "Eric B in the WWE" was just JR rehashing his own WCW experiences- stories he has already told on this podcast. .

Salty JR is fun. Anything pre-2000s is still a good listen for me. Hearing about Terri's penis and Mabel viagra induced masturbation sessions is better than Corny's 2 day too late AEW rantings.

LOLOLOL From bloodyelbow .com: "As an added incentive, Ortiz and Del Rio have both announced they’ll be putting their respective belts on the line. If Ortiz wins, he walks out with Del Rio’s WWE title around his waist. And if Del Rio wins, he’ll take Tito Ortiz’s UFC belt home with him"

Meltz also said the live crowd chanted "AEW" after the main event. I would have had Cain do the run in and ruin the main event. I would think Cain as a challenger will alert more people to the fact that he won't win compared to simply a fight between the two gorillas.
