Hearing Jim say Roddy beat some facials on Gargano's face has had me laughing all weekend

[@jaylew8408]

I've now listened to both channels equally and Brian is definitely twice as good as Conrad. Bruce is fun to listen to, but only can answer 50% of the questions asked as opposed to Cornette's 98%. Of course one spent 40 + years drinking and doing drugs while the other spent the time eating cheeseburgers and taking physicians style notes

[@vincekownacki2381]

Another fantastic podcast gentlemen! It's a great way to end the weekend listening to both of you. Thank you for your fantastic knowledge with the ability to impart your pearls of wisdom and storytelling in a way that is both filled with info and humor. Your podcasts are one of the highlights of my week. You are appreciated!!!

"Wrestling is up on the marquee and yet people. Where is it ? All I can see is a bunch of great wrestlers come out here and perform. Gymnastics, flip flop and fly and or almost die in an attemp to make you the viewers think they are good at their job ? Thats just wrong" - MJF

[@RobertJohnson-hq6jq]

With Jim being a “South Park” fan I am surprised he missed the “Antonio Bandaires blow-up doll” reference.

[@ChrisWoollett]

South Park also had a "curse word" episode called "It Hits The Fan" where the "s word" was said multiple times and iits constant utterance on the episode has caused a resurgence of the Black Death to the characters on South Park episode. According to DVD commentary, they were only going to say the word a few times, which Comedy Central would not allow. However, when Parker and Stone came up with the idea that they would "say it like 200 times, they (Comedy Central) were fine with it. The moral of the episode is not that saying "shit" in itself is wrong but saying it in excess leads to boredom with the word.

[@sappyfoot]

1:43:08 BOOKER T!!!!!

[@jordandoughty1970]

Loved the Antonio banderas blow up doll South Park reference from the first email 😂

[@kevinkelly1529]

1:50:50 Jim basically paraphrases Jesus saying, "Let he who is without sin throw the first stone". And, of course, that is the best course of action.

Someone should tell Corn and Bri that Imperium and undisputed era had an absolutely BANGING match - and make sure to tell Jimmy C that Walter is there in the flesh

[@cardsharpHS]

The most jarring hair change was Dolph Ziggler. He went from looking like a personality to John Smith. Not surprised he changed back ASAP.

[@TheeKingRayzor]

I know people love Jim Cornette, but Brian Last has become my favorite.

[@zanon__]

"Where is Walter?" The answer is very easy: He's (happily) in Europe. He already stated several times that he has no interest in moving to the US permanently other than the very occasional "date".

[@Gravydog316]

oh no way

[@marcelmoreau2733]

Starring in the new updated live action action movie about childrens book series that most of English speaking world knows as "Where's Waldo?" Expect hiis new ring gear to be blue tights a red and whit horizontal striped shirt and a matching beenie. And thick black rimmed glasses.

[@ChrisWoollett]

@@marcelmoreau2733 "Where's Waldo?" is known as "Where's Wally?" in the United Kingdom where he was created (his author, Martin Handford is British, the books were published in Britain first and Wally is the original name) and Wally is his name in most of Europe*. Sweden is the only European country that calls him by his North American name of Waldo. The name change in the USA was because John Keller, the publisher at Little, Brown at the time, was concerned that "Where's Wally" is too close to the American children's book 'Where's Wallace', and possible copyright issues to it. So the name Waldo was chosen in the USA, mainly because it was close enough to Wally, but not controversial in any way. Wally is a term used in the UK for someone who's stupid but this meaning doesn't exist in the USA. (Waldo his most known name isn't used in a negative way in the USA as I have never heard an American say "What a Waldo" about someone that did something dumb.) * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where%27s_Wally%3F#International_editions

Lmao I thought Frankie Kaz was losing his hair too. I understand that though, I always shave bald or buzzcut whenever I'm sick of looking at my own hair. My reason is that I just don't care enough to style it, I don't see the point in spending money to customize hair like a Saint's Row character other than simple maintenance.

[@HeyStevie100]

I honestly believe they used the thumb tacks to go against what Jim said. Marks!!

[@DanielWatches]

i think it was a direct shot when Jim said thumbtacks can't be used to win matches so they literally had the finish of the match be taking a bump like that with the thumbtacks

[@tyrannostoragerex3637]

I only own one PWG show, because I attended it live and it was at a legends con so it features the only ever match between Roddy Piper and Terry Funk. Excalibur and Colt Cabana, the announcers that night, spend part of the show amusing themselves with rape jokes, which pissed me off and sort of ruins the video of what was a very fun night in person.

[@JasonOrick]

I think AEW is leading to a split with Page/Omega that turns into the Elite as heels against FTR/Page/Spears "Horsemen" group. Arn will turn on Cody and side with Tully.

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

But why should we care about a "split" between Page and Omega? Hangman already left "The Elite" yet he still teams with them all the time, so, what's the point? How elite were The Elite anyway, if they were beat up and left for dead by The Dark Order? They were never established as being elite.

[@JasonOrick]

@@Mister_Phafanapolis I agree with most of your points. That's why instead of Page turning on Omega, it'll be Omega heeling on Page. Making him and FTR kind of anti hero faces. Then the Bucks and Omega can use their EVP power to put the screws to eryone. Just a thought I've been working with based off some of the B.T.E. sketches.

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

@@JasonOrick Omega turning is an option but I am so sick of the heel authority figure in professional wrestling. If that happened I'd be done with AEW, that's go-away heat for me. I just cannot musted a fuck for their attempt at reheating that dead trope.
