rovert Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Basically turns every one of Colt's questions into a complete trashing of today's wrestling, even if it has nothing to do with the question. A point made elsewhere but this is the guy people want to call New Japan 2014 matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Enthusiast Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Makes you wonder how WWE kept him around for as long as they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I don't bother with Jericho because he's from a slightly later era than what I'm mainly interested in (i.e. 70s, 80s, early 90s), and his guests tend to come from that era. My vague plan is to watch all the stuff I possibly can before getting back into stuff that happened after about 1994. I don't know how much time you have, but I'd say you'd pretty much just not be getting to 1994. At least at the pace I watch. There's a lot more 80s footage than you might think, my DVD storage problem can attest to that. Anyway, that distracted me and I just popped into this thread to say I don't know how people copy twitter into their posts here but JR pretty much had no support on his own twitter for his podcast. “@CaptDavieJones: @JRsBBQ Do we actually get to hear some of Sting's thoughts in Part 2?” Why the attitude? Followed by like 8 different people telling JR he interrupts his guests too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minds_Eys Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Jim Cornette needs to learn to not interupt his guests as well. It makes for a hard listen knowing the guest will not be able to properly expound on their thoughts. It is becoming apparent that Cornette and JR are much better guests than hosts. I truly believe it comes down to being humble. Stone Cold appears humble enough to let his guests have the stoplight while the other two can't shut their fucking mouths for 30 seconds.

The Chief Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 JR is just as bad a guest as he is a host, if not worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpchicago23 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yea JR brought an upbeat guy like Cabana down. He just comes off as so bitter and butt hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 "I've communicated with Dixie Carter on being a guest on our podcast in the future and potential dates are being contemplated." - JR I might actually listen to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpchicago23 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I think Austin is the perfect host because he understands the old school way and how people could say it was better but also realizes that a lot of the newer guys aren't allowed some of the freedoms he was. He's never too critical but instead offers advice. The problem i have with Ross is that he sounds way too bitter. Then he always tries to cover it up with his Aww shucks I don't know what I'm talking about I'm just an old man routine. It's obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Follow him on twitter if you like to see him grumble about the criticism his podcast gets. It's the best part of following him and I only ever listened to his podcast once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross continually talking over Sting with Sting just answeing "yeah, yeah". But I admit his Bubba Ray one from the past week was much better as he let Bubba actually speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Apparently his new thing is the "he learns to speak English" opinion. I am catching up and listening to his Sting interviews and he mentions about Mistico/Sin Cara needs to learn English. He is working for fucking AAA. Unless they are going to turn him into an Los Gringos Locos character there is no need for him to learn English. I can understand this take with KENTA given that he is now working with the WWE but come on in AAA At this rate I am expecting him to tell us that guys like Nakamura and Ishii need to learn English to get over in New Japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are assuming AAA and WWE are ran the same way in terms of level of agent, referee instruction, strictness of time cues and that all WWE wrestlers all known basic Spanish.

hammerva Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Mistico isn't a WWE wrestlers anymore as far as I know. Maybe Ross still thinks that he works for the WWE. I got the vibe that Ross thinks you need to "get over" with the fans by learning English which I would think is the least of things you need in AAA. If he was talking about the backstage area then I can sort of understand it but it is AAA so I don't know why road agents are speaking English to someone was from the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lust Hogan Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Ross had a great interview with Tony Schiavone today. The pace was Austin-like and it sounded like two friends catching up. Tony explained why Bobby Heenan is probably mad at him and blamed himself. They talked in broad strokes and this probably would have been better in a 2 part format to get more details but overall a good listen. Next week......STAN HANSEN!!!!

PeteF3 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I was under the belief that Bobby and Tony hashed out their differences when they did a Legends of Wrestling video game together some time ago. Heenan does seem like a guy who holds grudges, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heenan does seem like a guy who holds grudges, though. Not sure if you listened to the interview Ross just did with Tony but he mentions that when they did the game together, Heenan brought up the stuff and they did hash it out but Tony never bothered to contact Heenan after they worked together on the game and thinks that might have bothered Heenan.

Loss Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I listened to this show and thought wow Tony Schiavone would be a much better podcast host than Jim Ross. He came across as a really nice, sincere guy who loves wrestling and his family. He's also not wound up nearly as tight as Jim Ross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
