The Steve Austin Show

[JerryvonKramer]

Listened to the Jim Ross ones and the one with Terry Funk.

 

I really enjoyed both, but especially the Funk one. I've heard quite a lot of Funk shoots, but he always strikes me as one of the the most intelligent wrestlers. His stuff on promos near the end captured exactly what is lacking from so many promos these days.

 

My favourite thing about Funk is his stubborn refusal to shit on the present-day business. You don't get any of the bitterness or tired ranting about the same 4 or 5 things that you get with someone like Corny. Very rare example of an old-timer with a genuinely progressive, pragmatic and realistic attitude. He has a refreshing lack of idealism while not being at all cynical.

 

The Jim Ross stuff was good too, especially on Bill Watts. I was pretty surprised to hear about Ross's collegiate sporting background but it makes sense I guess. His old man probably belongs in jail, total psychopath.

 

The story JR told about not being dirty enough his home with me because when I used to play rugby I'd be out on the wing and would finish a came totally spotless. The games teachers hated this, they thought I was a ponce, so one time they instructed all of the other boys to drag me through the mud at the start of the lesson. I dug my heels in to try to stop the mud going on my legs and it resulted in a "pile-on". Messed my hair up too.

 

If I'd have had JR's dad growing up I reckon I'd have been legit dead by 18.

Yeah, same here I'm sure. Won't spoil it but there's one story that has stuck in my head since hearing it, and it obviously still sticks out in his memory too. Sad.

If you want to describe the Steve Austin show in one simple phrase, I would use "scrubber on a stick"

 

Oh wait now he is talking about tampons. It can't get any better after this

It just did.

 

Steve Austin just posted this on twitter:

Currently doing research on Mani/Pedi #2 for #steveaustinshow. Coming soon. #sacrifice

[Johnny Sorrow]

Fantastic interview with Trish Stratus. She's no brainless chick re: wrestling . Her story about the heel turn at Mania 20 is great.

[Johnny Sorrow]

The new show with Bret Hart is really good. Hearing Austin and Hart talk about the Bret/ Steamboat match from Boston is some good shit.

[shoe]

Yea it was real interesting hearing them talk about Steamer. You could really tell they both respect him a lot in the ring. I really would love to see Austin have Steamboat on as a guest. It was also pretty funny to hear Austin pimp you tube links to matches.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Austin's latest is with Eric Young, and it's fucking great. It's a perfect example of just how great Austin is at this, and Eric is a blast.

Just listened to the Bret Hart episode this morning. Is the story about Andre supposedly getting the Freebirds fired widely circulated? It was the first time I'd heard that.

Yeah, it was the first time I ever heard that as well.

I saw on Twitter that he's trying to arrange a podcast with Scott Hall. If Hall is lucid, that should be incredible.

[Jmare007]

He's also gonna start reviewing WWE and TNA shows. Well, he thinking about doing it and asked fans their opinions. I think it's a given everyone wants to know his stance about the current product so it's a matter of time before he does it.

 

 

And I fucking died laughing at his last interview with....Stone Cold

[Johnny Sorrow]

"Higher than giraffe pussy" is now a permanent part of of my lexicon. Steve drinking wine rules.

[Johnny Sorrow]

And he's totally right, it's impossible to eat pussy with a stuffed up nose.

[rovert]

Strongest possible recommendation for the Scott Hall Austin podcast.

[Gregor]

Yeah, that was my favorite one he's done yet. Hall sounded great.

[Loss]

That was fantastic. Scott Hall sounds better than he has since ... pretty much ever. It was interesting to hear him talk about his early days. Part twos don't often materialize on podcasts, so I hope that Hall coming back to discuss the rest of his career comes through.

[WingedEagle]

Couldn't agree more, he sounded perfectly lucid and just generally thrilled with where his life is at. I don't know where the payday for DDP eventually is, and I don't care. What he's done is remarkable and he deserves all the praise in the world.

[DocSarpolis]

And he's totally right, it's impossible to eat pussy with a stuffed up nose.

Truth

 

Th Josh Barnett episodes are outstanding. Particularly part 1.

[Cross Face Chicken Wing]

Just finished the two-part Diamond Dallas Page interview. DDP sounds just like Saul from Breaking Bad.

[flyonthewall2983]

Steve announced on Twitter that tomorrow he's talking to Ric Flair

[Johnny Sorrow]

The Jay Mohr interview is fucking hilarious.

[hammerva]

I haven't got to the new Samoa Joe interview but Steve trying to explain his sore throat because of a dream he had eating the pussy of a female sasquatch already makes it a killer

[Sidebottom]

Will listen to the Samoa Joe one tonight, could be interesting I guess.

[shoe]

I loved the fact in the Flair one that Flair addressed the fact that his name was misspelled at the Steamboat Clash match.
