Grilling JR #26 WWF Buried Alive 1996

[@Spursfan1527]

15:20 is where the show actually starts... lots of other talk beforehand like usual. Not bad stuff, just not anything about BA ‘96 LOL

[@richardhenry5858]

ty! u da rea MVP!

[@jaybatt4507]

Fuck JR

[@LouSassoleSledgecock_III]

It begins at 2:28:05

[@chriscalvert8023]

I think JR looks like The singer Meatloaf in the screen grab. 😂

[@HeartyArtie]

Why was Brother Love the Undertaker's first manager? Because he's a real dead ringer for love.

[@LouSassoleSledgecock_III]

No, he looks like your mom

[@ashblanc3942]

Ha! Had the same thought

[@phillipcollins1658]

I just farted

[@mikeypitt8315]

😂Meatross

[@countof3everybodyOD]

Thank Christ for YT Red. Couldn’t listen to this dude every 90 seconds in that capacity

[@briangleslam7]

Who?

[@forrestredd2706]

1996: "Vader had too many injuries to operate on the schedule expected of the champion at the time." 2018-2020: Perfectly healthy world champion Brock Lesnar wrestles four times a year.

[@JesterBeats]

Key words “expected of the champion at the time” times have changed. and Vince has lost his touch creatively and i think has a crush in brock.

[@Capo_Renzo]

At the time

[@kennyholman5830]

Thanks Jim, student of the game thanks for all your help. I try to place myself being at shows color commentating. Thanks Mary Jane and Jim Ross

[@imwalkworse6298]

lol jr looks like raven in that screen grab

[@someparts]

OUCH

[@alexanderquaresma9207]

I know at the time of this recording AEW was still new and there was hope. If good ol' JR ever goes back and listens to these discussions in the future, however, given what AEW has turned out to be I think he's going to cringe. I have no problems with AEW fans. If that's what you like that's what you like. Every generation has its own pro-wrestling form. But it seems silly in 2021 to hear JR talk about how AEW is or would be something more akin to classic traditional pro-wrestling programs of the 80s. It is no different than the over-produced reality TV product that the WWE presents and is in fact a minor-league version of that product; in spite of JR's protests in 2019. The one thing I like about AEW, however, is that it's giving some of the classic performers from the past who were never able to cash in on the big money a chance to cash in now. Good for JR, Tony, Roberts, Arn, Tully, and anyone else. Get that money.

[@Halry1]

Has grilling jr became anyone else's comfort show? It's 3:53 after work and this is about to soothe me to sleep

[@valerikonopljov8741]

Agreed. Nothing better after a tough day at work

[@HereBeRabbit]

🐰👍

[@coreythompsonTheOneandOnly]

Ooooooooo weeeee, jim ross killed it with the"when you're done playing in the minor leagues, but mr. Kahn has more money 🤑💰 than Vince. J.R. kills you with the honesty, he kills you with the kindness and he kills you with the money 💲💰. Keep on keeping on, Chicago loves you and your work (smoke marijuana not cigarettes) 💕

[@thomaswillingham4084]

Jr wouldn't have said that same shit had the guy been black and been the same way towards white people, Vince too.

[@ericw.spradlin5803]

Rollins definitely should not be making comments about anyone. Seth is an above average worker, yes, but he is not Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart, and its true that his girlfriend was more over than he was, lol.

[@thomasjohn3835]

You cant say your going into a territory war then piss and moan when people start throwing salt. Used to be if you were running opposition the other companies guys would show up with tire irons and baseball bats, now they have a twitter war. JR has been in many territory wars, i'm surprised he's surprised.

[@cam2sol]

Thank God for JR and his honesty. Keep these podcasts coming as much as you guys can. WWE fan since '96 and I thank you both for telling these stories of what I grew up with. Long live JR

[@juniorsanchez7441]

A breath of fresh air after all the ass kissing and lying Bruce Prichard does...

[@williamschaeffer409]

wwe 2k20 is a terrible game 😒

[@jaggs9000]

I love 2k14 , thq is back in business hopefully they pick up the IP again

[@marvelfan8670]

I will never buy anything from Conrad because of the way he tried to pitch 2k20

[@dustinrhodes4793]

That was nice of the sponsors to play a wrestling podcast between all the advertisements.

[@TheRageaholic]

Did J.R. just blame Vince Russo for a storyline in mid-1996? He didn't even start writing the show until 1997! That was your boys Cornette and Prichard, slick.

[@UncensoredMMA]

wow look at this smartass telling someone who was there at they are wrong lol i would embarrassed if i was you

[@alberts1985]

JR looks like an Ozzy fan

[@robbiesilverwolf]

Wait there’s people that hate the buried alive gimmick?

[@josephboza7448]

I thought Buried Alive was ok. I think Shawn didnt want to work it cause he thought he should have closed out every ppv he was WWF Champion in this reign. It was clear that Shawn would have been co main event. He didnt like that. Undertaker and Mankind did a great job with the Buried Alive Match. I think the fans were pissed cause the heels were buried Undertaker alive not cause it took forever to do it.

[@dan223344556677]

Undertakers hokey shit was good in 1996, I was 10 at the time. It got a bit cringe in 1999 but now as an adult, I like hokey shit and i think wrestling needs more of it .Maybe I liked more sizzle than steak as a kid. Bring on the occupational gimmicks!

[@trurobertson]

Have to disagree with JR on Seth Rollins. He gets a loud pop every night

[@robbrown3511]

Jim had a great point about seth rollins. He's not as over as his girlfriend and besides wwe is not as good as aew.

[@gothchicksbongrips5712]

The AEW and NXT total viewership combined last week, was less than the 3rd hour of raw. You liking AEW doesnt mean it's better than WWE. Because the ratings certainly dont prove that.

[@TheRealRollerCodster]

Everyone has their opinion, i think aew is much better then wwe right now. It is more of an adult based wrestling show, and it is new and exciting. The stars aew have are much better then alot of wwe stars. Aew has a few wrestlers that are well known to be the best in the business. I grew up with wwe, but for the last decade or so its been so lame. Its targeted towards young kids, and they dont listen to their fans. Regardless of what people think aew, and wwe have their ups and downs. They are two different shows, If your a true fan of wrestling check them both out, and stop bitching about shit that doesn't matter. Right now aew is listening to their audience, and believe it or not that matters to alot of fans. That is what really makes aew a better show right now. Along with other things, but that's a main draw.

[@Rocket1377]

@Vince McMahon's Grapefruits: Less than a month after your comment and WWE Raw has now recorded its lowest ratings in history. AEW and NXT combined actually did beat Raw in the viewers this week. WWE have nobody to blame but themselves for failing to make new stars.

[@billyfrost1941]

1 Hour 52 mins the Buried Alive stuff starts

[@KING0420]

Love it. Behind the scenes breakdown

[@MDeezy42069]

RIP Bray Wyatt. This is some grade a1 red ass JR

[@killuminati3034]

Jr looks like Kane there

[@troywright359]

1:10:07 "Maybe some guys were jealous-were jealous-ealous, I don't know!"

[@coreythompsonTheOneandOnly]

Conrad and J.R have some great, eclectic music 🎼🎶 taste. Im loving that Tom Petty song in the intro Walk Back 🔙 Down. Great work. Keep it up

[@gooberthoreau]

Road Dogg was bigger and stronger than Double J and a better worker? I think JR is confused (though I admit I didn't see Road Dogg till later in his career so that can make a big difference). Road Dogg certainly had more charisma.

[@cjrich7720]

Road Dogg was bigger. Not in the same league of worker as JJ. Pure cap/politics on JR's part

[@mightyknight]

The Body Donnas was a bad gimmick but boy were they such an underrated tag team.

[@productreviewproductions439]

please do crockrett cup86 ! great episodeiloved thi show as a kid

[@bubsssbunny]

This dude just literally used a death to promote a mobile company.

[@troywright359]

Be glad he didn't use to promote manscaping

[@bubsssbunny]

Troy Wright wouldn't surprise me after hearing that

[@markabraham5956]

I know right. Speaking of borrowed time, TRY MINT MOBILE! I was like wtf, is this real

[@inmyruins]

LOL! That "Won't Back Down" track is so bad.

[@Tiffny16]

Confused about a white limo?

[@chadwhite2931]

Best Blue Chew spot ever. Lol

[@ThesteelLion]

Jr is the absolute best of all time he took what he wanted from Gordon solie and built himself into the greatest commentator in wrestling history Seth Rollins is a whiny little pantywaist who couldn't hack it in the old school WWE aew is tops today's WWE product doesn't interest me anymore when I watch all elite wrestling at the end of every show I want more got to love Jim Ross forever and always the absolute best of all time

[@s0uthpaw7]

1:49:57

[@TheRealRollerCodster]

The big dog is such a stupid name... also why are they promoting wwe 2k20 when jr is in aew? Thats strange.

[@robbiesilverwolf]

Lmao AEW is definitely an entertainment business
