PTBN Reaction Show: Fastlane 2016

[The Chief]

I think both Reigns and Rollins are HHH guys he just has an odd way of "helping his buddies."

[Johnny Sorrow]

"We're through the looking glass, people."

[Grimmas]

Johnny if there is no political hit does that mean they are the worst at building a new ace? They have made a mistake every single moment of using Reigns from the moment his singles push started. If it's not Triple H fucking with him, then how are they so shitty at this?

[Luchaundead]

I saw someone in the political hit thread mention Heyman and it got me thinking what if the hit isn't being done by HHH but, by Heyman as retaliation for his "best friend" CM Punk think about it Punk wanted Hero in that spot but WWE made it be Reigns, During the AOW podcast Punk went out of his way to push along the "Reigns is being over pushed" narrative by talking about "make him look strong", and Brock benefited from Regins not being over going into WM 31 by using that leverage combined with help from UFC (Dana White who Heyman dealt with during Brock's time with UFC) to get a higher paying contract. Would you be surprised to hear that Heyman is in some type of manager or agent role for Brock thus getting a % of that lucrative contract? because I wouldn't be. Sure there is the possibility that HHH is using the situation to his benefit or was even involved either directly or indirectly but letting this all go on without stopping it but maybe just maybe this is actually a Heyman Hustle.

I don't think we should discount the possibility of Andy Kaufman at this stage.

I don't know, because the Brock/Roman stuff has been the best Roman has looked.

I would posit that this actually makes a more glaring indictment of Reigns as Heyman shows "Look he can be good he can get over so why can't be do it all the time" making it appear that Reigns just doesn't get it and can't connect with the fans without someone carrying him in promos, thus making a guy like Heyman seem even more valuable

this reaction show was an audio car crash and at one point Will even fell asleep on the mic

now if the host cant keep his eyes open it doesnt bode well for listener

step your game up

What if the PTBN reaction show was just co-opted by the political hit and Will actually fell asleep just to further bury a PPV mainevented by Regins?

The show was f'n great, what are you talking about? Will falling asleep is completely irrelevant and it was a funny moment. Geez.

 

Best reacation show since the 2015 Rumble.

[Ricky Jackson]

Too short and likely not enough Vince impressions for Judy's tastes

Thanks for that constructive criticism.

[The Man in Blak]

As far as the audio issues at the end are concerned, I know that some Skype-driven podcasts have the host and participants record their individual audio output (in addition to the host's recording of the combined stream), which get merged into a single stream in production, using the host's "combined" recording as a sort of road map for synching things up. That's a whole 'nother set of technical and logistical hurdles that may not be conducive to how the reactions shows are normally produced, though.

It's a reaction show. Falling asleep is a perfectly normal reaction to what WWE tries to pass off as wrestling these days.

This is how we use to do Lucha Undead it's not that hard and it is a nice fail safe but the audio quality actually tends to be better overall through Skype except for the "technical difficulties" (bad internet connection) that arise from time to time but if you noticed this show was rushed up and edited later as to have the hottest of hot takes for the listeners to get their ears on.

What will be funny is when the camera finds Will sleeping at Wrestlemania.

[The Chief]

I immediately flashed back to what happened when Will's favorite wrestler was "snoring" on the air and got a little worried

Calling bullshit on this one. I wasn't asleep. I didn't have my mic on mute and the mic was basically in my nose when I pressed the mute button. I admit I am a heavy breather but I wasn't asleep. When I said I was asleep I was being facetious. I thought I said as much on the air. As for the connection problems... you live by Skype you die by Skype.

This could legitimately happen.

I don't have a problem making excuses so here is my current excuse...

 

I recently became separated from my wife and have lived in 4 locations in the last month. Each place has a different internet connection and sometimes it sound sgood and sometimes it doesn't. I don't know if that plays into the troubles we had on this show but I'll take the blame for this one and deal with it.

Hope you know I was throwing no shade I appreciate quick turn around on reaction shows

[Johnny Sorrow]

Yeah, this whole "fell asleep" thing is bullshit. I know when Will falls asleep and then I make fun of it until I beat it it into the ground, dig it up, and then beat it worse than Bing Crosby having a quality day with his kids.

[Goodear]

Personally I thought that Will keeping the microphone in his nose was the funnier angle.
