Johnny Sorrow Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I just started listening to the latest one with Cornette. I'm fully expecting a flashback to my days working in nursing homes as this is gonna be some grumpy old men bitching about everything. I hope I'm wrong, but.....

sek69 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 So how does Ross balance bashing the "dirt sheets" on his show with never having problem with doing a show with Bryan or Dave when he has something to shill? Â The more you hear him outside the context of calling a wrestling show, the more you realize he's the guy who changes course based on who he's talking to.

Johnny Sorrow Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 To be fair, he doesn't bash "the dirt sheets", he bashes "the Internet", ala people on Twitter, message boards, etc. For instance, his goofing on fans with no patience for long term booking who go on and on about how something sucks before it plays out. Â So I just finished the Cornette show. It was pretty good, not as full of "here's why everything stinks" as I thought it'd be. Cornette annoyed me by saying that he didn't watch any of the TV leading up to Bryan winning at Mania, didn't watch Mania, but had to give his opinion on it all based on what he read online. Broke my heart that one of my favorite guys is now a "I don't watch it, now here's why it sucks" zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the only thing worse than hate-watcher types are the "I don't watch the current product. It sucks." type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014   In the upcoming weeks guests who will be appearing on the Ross Report include: ESPN's Michelle Beadle, Lance Storm, MVP, Sting, Eric Bischoff and Ted DiBiase, Tony Schiavone and Cowboy Bill Watts, among others including Stan Hansen   Ross's podcast could be so good if he'd just STFU and let his guests answer the few questions he actually asks them. I had given up on Ross's pod, but needed something to listen to while raking the yard this weekend so I downloaded the DDP episode. I don't know why DDP just didn't hang up the phone. It felt like a "conversation" I would've had with my angry great uncle when I was 13. Yeah, my uncle would let me talk every now and then, but most of the "conversation" was littered with him lecturing me about his random opinions and not giving much of a damn what I had to say.

BigBadMick Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 He has a two parter (I think) coming up with Shawn Michaels, who describes events in the gorilla position during and after Lesnar v Undertaker. Â Â Don't think Michaels would put up with being subjected to a rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingSavage Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 HBK was at gorilla position for that match. Austin mentioned on his last Torch appearance with Keller that he was in the truck with Kevin Dunn. Just interesting to consider the different viewpoints & perspectives from guys like that - actually live at the show and in attendance, making it a point to stick around and witness that match.

Bird Crusher Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have a hard time, you know, listening to, you know, any Shawn Michaels interview, because, you know, everything he says is, you know, a horrible run-on sentence and, you know, he says you know roughly 500 times during, you know, any interview he gives.

BillThompson Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have a hard time listening to Shawn Michaels because he's pretty much lying or full of shit 100% of the time, and a really boring storyteller to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Halfway through Ross Report with DiBiase. This one had sooooooo much potential, but these two old sticks in the mud are putting me to sleep. Never mind rambling about it not being as good as the good old days - just tell the stories from the good old days. Â How hard is that!

pantherwagner Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I haven't listened to that one (and I won't) but I am going to put the blame in DiBiase. He's terrible on this type of shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ted's very dull, no question. But isn't it up to the interviewer to direct the conversation? Â All Ross has to do is bring up the classic Mid-South angles/matches that we all want to hear about. And by all I mean anyone that wants to listen to JR interview Ted DiBiase.

JerryvonKramer Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Not listened yet but sounds disappointing. Ted CAN do a good shoot, he's definitely got one or two he's done that have been interesting, but he can also be one of the worst for completely phoning it in and retelling the same stuff we've heard a million times before. Â Seriously, if Jim Ross who must know so much about his career and the companies he worked for can't get a good interview out of him, then he must truly suck. Â I haven't listened to this podcast at all yet, and I've been thinking that surely Ross can't be as reviews have suggested, but this has perhaps underlined it. Â I will still listen eventually, but it's low priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Listened to the second hour this morning. It picks up a great deal, to be fair. Ted covers his early career, a few Mid-South stories, Dr Death and Hansen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each podcast he basically interviews himself and has a guest on to provide an additional voice between his unintelligent ramblings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 The only one that's even barely worth listening to is the Gail Kim one, because he seems almost awestruck of her and especially so of her husband. The toadying is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Christ, 15 minutes in and he's still reviewing the current product and talking about how heels need to be prepared to get this heat. Fast forwarding this crap, it's just boring. Almost 20 minutes now, where's Ted? He's actually talking about TNA now, arghh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 The interview was so-so in general, heard most of that stuff before. But the one highlight was Ross running down all the different promoter's he'd worked for. That was really interesting and I kind wish he'd structured the whole interview around it. Â Ross spends far far too much time focusing on what "the youth of today" should be doing, basically every minute he spends on that is a minute wasted. Â The reason Austin is so good as an interviewer is because he gets guys to open up and tell stories they'd never have told in a regular shoot. For the most part, Ross failed to do that here because he seemed more interested in driving home some agenda about why it's important for heels to get heat. Yet, he's sitting there with one of the GOAT heels and somehow didn't manage to get any insight at all from him on what it is to be a great heel.

That's every single one of his shows, pretty much. The one with Cornette just needs them screaming at a kid to get off their lawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I don't even disagree with him on that point. My problem is that he knows the wrestlers are powerless on this issue, yet he still places the blame on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
