I don't trust his take at all. It sounds very "worked." A lot of the stuff he says makes no sense, and he throws people who were telling the truth under the bus.

That's a fair take, but I honestly prefer listening to Bryan Alvarez lose his shit ranting each week than actually watching Raw. That says something about the product.

Big fan of the new Pacific Rim podcast they have on there. The only recap shows I can listen to are from F4W or if Austin does a recap episode with Kellar, Metlzer or JR.

Bischoff is just a cunty liar. It's fair enough you enjoy those wrestling podcasts, but something about it just humanizes and gentrifies the personalities so much.

Suzuki fucking rules.

Suzuki is the best thing in the world right now. One of the hardest things I have with puroresu, and this is just my personal take, is that they do these sort of routine things that play out as real cliches that kind of sacrifice fight psychology, which to me, is part of the big draw of Japanese wrestling.
For example: I hate that they always psyche up and do the forearm exchanges. I was just watching random New Japan matches and it happened in
every single one of them. It would appeal to me more if it were just a few people whose gimmick it was to really love getting hit in the head -- whether it's to psyche their opponent out, or just prove how tough they are, whatever. Like, Ishii doing it, or Goto with the right opponent. But I don't need to see Tanahashi doing it with Ibushi, you know?

I also listen to Cornette's podcasts plus Stick to Wrestling and a bi weekly podcast. On a given week I listen to around 10-12 hours of podcasts a week.

I do listen to Cornette's pretty religiously now. I stopped for a while (no idea why), but he's such an amazing orator with some great takes. Still one of the sharpest minds in wrestling and the internet has no idea.

Or stomp them like Bryan does, or do a German suplex, or a Pedigree, or a Boston crab, or a DDT, or a headscissors, or a Coquina Clutch, or a Coupe de Grace...
