Bix Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Phil Hickerson / Dennis Condrey / Tojo Yamamoto story is one of the best and funniest rib stories of all time. I wouldn't necessarily agree with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Are you suggesting that Condrey sort of raped Hickerson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Are you suggesting that Condrey sort of raped Hickerson? No "sort of" if it happened to way Cornette said it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Now you put it that way, I guess it's a lot more sinister. Â I think the manner in which Austin was laughing made me laugh too and I didn't think of it in that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillThompson Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'll admit, I'm in a rock and a hard place with a story like the Hickerson/Condrey/Tojo. When I heard the story I knew two things at the same time; 1) it was a bad thing and akin to rape, 2) I laughed mightily because I found it funny. Some of it probably boils down to the abilities of Cornette as a storyteller, and the fact that the story does come across as one guy fucking with another guy for comedic effect as opposed to any sinister goal. Still doesn't change that Condrey forced himself on Hickerson, and that does constitute rape. I guess this makes me a shit kicking heel, or terrible person depending on your point of view, because while I do recognize the wrongness of what went down I still find myself chuckling about the whole thing.

SomethingSavage Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'll go full heel for it. Â Within the context of the story, the guys involved, and the business we're dealing with? I find it HO-LARIOUS. Â I don't care. Bring the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 It's probably the most I've ever laughed at a rib story. That was my honest reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Within the context of the story, the guys involved, and the business we're dealing with? I find it HO-LARIOUS. Â The same here. The way Cornette tells it probably helps quite a bit, as was Austin totally cracking up. Â However, stories of guys like the Rockers drugging up and abusing girls, or Flair exposing himself to fly attendants and stuff like this, yeah, totally repulsive.

SomethingSavage Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Quick though. Somebody tell Cornette that funny don't make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I laughed at the way he told it, too. When I stopped...Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 So Austin really did four parts with Bischoff? I noted there were two on each of his feeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryvonKramer Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I liked how the first 45 minutes of it was basically them talking about hunting. I have zero interest in hunting, but really enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingedEagle Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I surprisingly enjoyed the non-wrestling part as well. Austin is just such an easy listen and really facilitates great conversation no matter the guest or subject matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I surprisingly enjoyed the non-wrestling part as well. Austin is just such an easy listen and really facilitates great conversation no matter the guest or subject matter. Could agree more. No interest in hunting, but Bisch and Austin kickin back with a beer or two makes easy listening. And makes me thirsty.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooley Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 FINALLY discovered this show thanks to youtube. Listened to the Bret and Cornette ones last night. Did Bret ever come back for a second episode as they talked about? Really enjoyed the rapport that the two had and would love to hear them break down their matches as they discussed. Â Cornette's was fascinating with the Sputnik Monroe stories from Memphis. And put me in the camp of finding the Condrey/Hickerson/Tojo story hilarious. Â My sinister side would love to see him have Russo on the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I don't want Russo on the Austin show because it would humanize him. Russo cannot be humanized. He should remain the evil that fell upon wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyonthewall2983 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Didn't he try out after AWA went out of business, shortly before WCW picked him up? I haven't listened to the whole interview yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I think it was the job Murray Hodgson got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 What did he do for them? He's a name I've come across because of the scandals but didn't know (or just overlooked) he was any kind of on-air talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
