Minds_Eys Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 As much as I love Austin's podcast I'll be skipping the Russo one. He was on MLW Radio recently, and the moment he started talking I turned the podcast off. He may be the first case of go away podcast heat.I do not agree with anything Russo says, but I find him a fascinating listen. And I agree with Jim Ross in a lot of regards, but rarely enjoy listening to him on a podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingSavage Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 So it's decided then? Russo on the Ross Report podcast is our winner? PodcastOne will book it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpchicago23 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 To me Lance Storm is the worst person to listen to. He's on the Ross Report this week too. I hate the way he utters his sentences and talks down the new guys when he was definitely one of the worst mic guys of his era and his work looked so coreographed. I remember he discussed the Van Dam chair shots and played it off as him being safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Vince Russo drops today. Hope this is different than the 85 other Vince Russo interviews out there. I have faith in Steve, looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lust Hogan Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I listened and it seemed like they were getting ready to get into the good stuff when it stopped for part 2. They pretty much covered Russo's beginning through the birth of Stone Cold. Russo is OK and definitely willing to talk but just as he finds southerners obnoxious I find him to be overbearing at times. Austin made this a decent interview and I think part 2 will be better than part 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Yup. There's A LOT of yelling on Russo's part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomethingSavage Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 But how many "BRO"s, bro? Meh. Gonna give it a listen once it's complete. Not exactly hoping for a Bischoff like series, but realistically - it COULD turn into that. There's a lot of material with Russo, once ya tag on the WCW and TNA stuff. If they're only up to the Attitude Era with part one wrapping, then I could see it extending for a FEW more episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherwagner Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Listened to the Tommy Rogers interview. Sad to hear how he's in such bad physical shape as he's still quite young (53). Which is the tag team that was run out of Japan before The Fantastics were called in? (If that story is even true). Sounds like he was hinting that it was the Rock and Roll Express.

Loss Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 The Rock & Rolls did have a brief run shortly before the Fantastics, so yeah, probably them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherwagner Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Other than their style not being a good fit for AJPW I always thought that it was odd that the RNR never worked Japan all that much but I never knew it was out of choice.

PeteF3 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I've heard Meltzer (I think) say rather bluntly, "The Rock 'n Rolls worked one tour and weren't invited back." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Something happened on that tour between Kawada and Gibson too, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherwagner Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Tommy mentioned that in their second or third match the RNR's had an incident with a tag team roughing them up, they didn't stand up for themselves and left the tour right away. The second part may have been his memory failing (he seemed to be fairly honest), but that's how the Fantastics got the call. Fantastics had the same incident with the same team (I assume Footloose) but they stood up for themselves and had a long run out of that.

JaymeFuture Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Russo Part 2 sounds like it has potential, but Vinnie Ru needs put down his Thomas the Tank Engine playset, or whatever it is he's doing that's making that fucking banging sound every time he tries to make a point.

DR Ackermann Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I thought it was Footloose at first, too, but didn't he go on to say that it was the Bulldogs or did I just misunderstand him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherwagner Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Maybe I misunderstood him - he's all over the place and it's not completely clear if the first story and the story about the Bulldogs are two different stories or not.

goodhelmet Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Maybe I misunderstood him - he's all over the place and it's not completely clear if the first story and the story about the Bulldogs are two different stories or not. They are two different stories. The Bulldogs thing was an example of how Fulton screwed up. The Footloose thing was a Welcome to Japan story.

goodhelmet Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Listening to the Russo interview and he is spot-on with something I said a few weeks ago... modern day WWe is suffering from an identity crisis and needs to decide what audience they want to attract.

The Chief Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 When I heard Russo was a Ziggler fan, I couldn't help but think about his BATB 2000 rant: I'M HERE FOR DA GUYS WHO GIVE A SHIT! I'M HERE FOR DA DOLPH ZIGGLER'S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBadMick Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Finally got to the Tommy Rogers interview and I see what all the fuss was about. Comes across as a really good man, and sorry toi hear of his ailments. One thing - he says the Fantastics had a ten year run in Japan. Did they? I think they started there in 88 or 89, were they there at tail end of 90s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBadMick Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Listened to Russo. The story about Austin refusing to work with someone and then throwing a fit when he felt he was being cornered into it - Was it Jarrett or Billy Gunn? Also, Austin argued he wasn't paranoid, but 'extremely cautious/selective' about who he worked with - it's a slippery slope I think. Then again, Vince seems to love playing mind games with people and I can understand lashing out when you've got the clout to do so....
