Didn't he make Nash do that too?

No, Nash did it for The Punisher.

What? He was blonde in Punisher.....


This was around 2016 or so.

Oh didn't he come back as diesel though? I could see Vince asking him to dye it just for the nostalgia factor to hit harder when he came out.

screech 01-20-2022 11:56 AM

I remember Nash saying in an interview that his wife didn't want him to go back to WWE because they wanted him to dye his hair.

I don't think it was that one where he's eating ravioli, though

It's called Wrestling with Freddie.

I have added this to my list of like 322 podcasts but will put it ahead of everything and give it a listen tonight. Thanks for the suggestion.

Was he drinking red wine? That would narrow it down to about 27 others.

The shows are between 35-50 minutes long so it's not a marathon listen

Fignuts 01-20-2022 01:13 PM

Sometimes I have to skip cornettes podcast cause it's so long and I don't have time to listen to both shows and other podcasts.

Bad News Gertner 01-20-2022 01:31 PM

Between the Sheets is between 4.5 to 7 hours and I never miss it (I skip the Lucha and Japan stuff mostly so it's not THAT long). Stopped listening to Cornette's shows a while ago. Too much stuff that I don't care about.

My current line up:

MC True Long Island Story
Between the Sheets
Grillin with JR (except when it's a watchalong or if Paul Bromwell is co hosting instead of Conrad)
Jeff Jarrett's podcast
Magnificent Muraco's podcast
Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw
Wrestling with Freddie
Stick to Wrestling with John McAdam sometimes if I like the topic. Same with Tommy Dreamer's.

and a couple Trance Podcasts (A State of Trance and Find your Harmony)

Fignuts 01-20-2022 01:45 PM

Cornettes was better when the shows were separated between reviewing modern wrestling and answering questions about his time in the business. Now they review modern wrestling on both shows so there's no one spot to get that great old school cornette story telling.

You might want to check out recent episodes though. They released a two part omnibus of all the Vince McMahon stories on the show and its a really fun listen.

Bad News Gertner 01-20-2022 01:51 PM

I did listen to the Vince and wrestler deaths omnibus. Those were really good.

#1-norm-fan 01-20-2022 02:05 PM

The story about Vince tipping the cable guy $100 for showing him how to unmute the TV is a gem.

weather vane 01-20-2022 02:17 PM

Muraco has a podcast?

Anything that is MUST LISTEN from your list BNG? Specific episodes? I have heard mostly all of Conrad’s podcasts.

Bad News Gertner 01-20-2022 02:22 PM

Yeah it's pretty good. He tells some funny stories without crapping on fellow wrestlers.

I'm really enjoying Freddie's podcast because it comes from a different perspective. Listened to the first 3 episodes.

Between the Sheets is super wrestling nerdy but very interesting. They time stamp their shows so you can skip the boring shit. The 1999/2000 episodes are funny just for the Russo WCW era stuff

and I HIGHLY recommend stories with Brisco and Bradshaw. What a fun listen.

You can keep your stiff forearms, I'd rather see a Lawler punch.

That crowd was rabid when Lawler started to lay in those rights. Need to go back and watch more of babyface King.

Sepholio 01-21-2022 07:12 AM

Apparently WWE has refused to grand Ali his release.

Probably should have waited until they released him before he hit social media.

OR IT COULD BE A WORK YOU GUYS

drave 01-21-2022 08:20 AM

He can just be EC3 and not give a shit until it runs out.

Sepholio 01-21-2022 08:25 PM

lol Matt Hardy said taking the stink face from Rikishi was "delightful". I'm not giving any other context on this one.

More details have emerged regarding Ali’s request for a release, specifically around the creative pitch that lead to an alleged “heated disagreement” between Ali and Vince McMahon himself.

It’s said that Vince had a detailed plan that would have seen Ali completely repackaged and would have incorporated a number of other talents on the roster. The idea would have seen Ali receive another name change. There was also creative to involve Aliyah - hence her TV presence and win over Natalya in recent weeks.

There were a number of points of contention between the parties over the creative direction of the pitch. There was said to be an eleborate set piece that would see Ali rescuing Aliyah from a “difficult situation” leading to a chase through the backstage area escaping via what was described as parkour-like manoeuvres. This was the first issue as this is very close to what Reggie has been doing over on the Raw brand. Ali is not trained in parkour and feared he’d come off as “second rate” in comparison to Reggie.

Further plans called for Ali to gain a sidekick character who was described as “charismatic”, “wise-cracking” and “fast-talking”. There were a number of talents touted in this role including Montez Ford, Titus O’Neil, NXT 2.0’s Trick Williams, and Cesaro. Again Ali was said to be “underwhelmed” having recently teamed with Mansoor, and following the stable with Retribution as he wants to work on his singles career for now.

There were concerns over the romance angle between Ali and Aliyah. Ali has been married since 2011 and has 3 children and was not taken with the idea of an onscreen romance. This however was the idea that “Ali would never have done”.

It’s said that this part of the pitch was direct from Bruce Pritchard who was said to have been “reaching into the past” and pitched for Ali to have an animal companion in the vein of Jake Roberts and Damian, Koko B. Ware and Frankie, and Davey Boy Smith and Matilda (the bulldog). This was the idea that “Ali would never have done” as the pitch called for the companion to be a monkey. Ali has Pithecophobia - an irrational fear of monkeys. As far as Bruce - and therefore Vince - was concerned, this was “make or break” for the gimmick. Many backstage have viewed this as a rib on Ali from Vince directly as he apparently knew of the phobia.

Further ideas would have seen Jinder Mahal cast in a villainous role opposite Ali (complete with a parrot to oppose Ali’s monkey) and a huge “top level talent style entrance” at this year’s WrestleMania where Ali, Aliyah, the sidekick (and the monkey) would have entered on a huge flying carpet.

The source is quoted as saying “Vince’s grandkids were watching the live action remake of Aladdin a couple of weekends ago”.

Damian Rey 2.0 01-22-2022 12:59 PM

A flying fucking carpet wow Lmaoooo

Sepholio 01-22-2022 01:18 PM

There is no way that's real. I believe like 98% of these stories about the bullshit ideas they have from time to time. But nope. That right there ain't it. That's a joke referencing that time Ali wanted to play Aladdin in the live action remake. Come on, he's Aladdin, she's Jasmine, the monkey is Apu and they ride a carpet? lololol
