Outlandish Gimmicks: Something To Wrestle

[@MikeyBAmazing]

This is one of my favorite episodes. 😁

[@scypsylock9402]

Bruce can put anyone in a good mood with his singing and fooling around!

[@Skinner716]

Bruce’s Dusty impression is probably the best I’ve ever heard

[@abnnnutthowze]

I love his Cornett impression. It's so ridiculous.

[@primusvsunicron1]

you mean Reo Rodgers 😂

[@silverbullet9442]

I wasn't sure what to think about topic considering it would be a hodge podge of discussions but oh boy Bruce nailed it, this was like old-school STW with Bruce giving fantastic entertaining stories and we all go along for the ride. Excellent episode!

[@berkajr3685]

When Bruce is on, he does by far the best wrestling podcast there is. That quote, iwth the bear, that if there are honey on the outside of the trunks, there must be more under, and bears have long tounges.... Hilarous

[@j.c.2514]

definitely the best wrestling podcast to listen too.

[@sithari518]

He feels scummy even amongst so many carnies

[@briankerr2307]

This is one of the funniest episodes yet.

[@danielescalera6638]

Danny Hodge tried to stretch the bear 😂. Well it's Hodge so the bear wasn't going over

[@BIGDAZR]

This was a return to form for bruce, it felt like a podcast from 2017

[@JarodJoseph]

Conrad rocking in his computer chair like the special boy he is

[@studmachine1678]

Great stories about all these memorable gimmicks and the workers who used them. You can’t help but shake your head at the idea that guys had to wrestle animals in the ring!

[@milkcarton6654]

Oh man, i wonder who still remembers Pampiro Firpo.

[@Godzilla1982]

Pfft. Everyone knows it's Corny.

Moon Dog Mayne died in an auto accident in 1978, while he was holding the Northern California version of the U.s. title. Buddy Rose won the vacated belt in a tournament 1 month later.

[@profshad3429]

One of the last guys I watched in WWE before I stopped

[@dnice2000]

29:50 they start after talking about Bray

[@TheHerbinLegend]

Thanks

[@Jestin612]

I pretty much stopped watching for many years. Luckily for me, i started watching some here and there. Got to watch his last match ❤. Dude was special. At least he got to work his last match with LA Knight

[@deeks6650]

He was a shoot bear… This episode was awesome I know y’all were hurting with the loss of Bray but thank you for doing this episode and making us all laugh and feel a bit better. I love when Conrad gives Bruce a hard time but this was great when you both were on the same side. Watch out for the hooker bear!

[@jayhiggs2K]

By far my favorite podcast.

[@feliperios5217]

I love the show. I'm from Houston and really enjoy the stories

[@milkcarton6654]

I'm sorry to say all the fiend stuff i would fast forward through but early Bray Wyatt was great and I felt was never really given the run he should have. After that initial run though, like say past 2016, it was diminishing returns unfortunately. But no doubt a great talent that i feel COULD have been the next undertaker if Vince had been a little more behind him.

[@JeffHardyfan316]

Thank you for the show

[@drewamongstus]

Usually the bear would let you kick out

[@frankdean7694]

RIP Bray Wyatt! Episodes about gimmicks are always some of my favorites

[@foxmulderGC]

Bruce met Clyde!? Probably the greatest thing I’ve ever heard. ‘God damn Baboon, stealing my Oreos, crappping all over the place’ Interesting you say he wasn’t comfortable around big groups. Must have been interesting trying to settle him down to shoot the scenes when all the Black Widows pulled up at the lights on their motorbikes!

[@zackzero5670]

Which animal superstar played the best ribs?

[@georgekaptur5160]

So, after a very nice tribute to Bray Wyatt by Bruce and Conrad, this officially became the funniest podcast I've ever listened to. I couldn't stop laughing, absolutely hilarious. 👍

[@BonesBrigader]

It's more educational to me than humorous so far. A guy who know's wrestling history talking about wrestling history

[@georgekaptur5160]

@@BonesBrigader I was laughing about the Bear and cougar wrestling segment in particular

[@BonesBrigader]

@georgekaptur5160 Yeah I got a kick outta that myself

[@thegoouch]

It's this show about Zicky Dice????

[@dakmiller595]

Something to Wrestle with the Midgets and a Bear

[@thefilmeffect6089]

I can’t believe they haven’t covered Royal Rumble 2001. It’s the best Royal Rumble followed by the best No Way Out in 2001.

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

The best Royal Rumble is 1992. Flair and Heenan combined to put on the greatest wrestling/commentary performance ever. It was also the most stacked roster in any Rumble match, partly since there was no world title match to take two main event guys out of it.

[@thefilmeffect6089]

@@palaceofwisdom9448 I was talking about the entire show. The Rumble match at least has an argument as the best, but the show also had a great tag match for the titles with Edge and Christian vs. the Dudley Boyz. The Triple H vs. Kurt Angle title match is also excellent, but the Jericho and Benoit ladder match is one of the best in history. The only thing that keeps this from a perfect show is the Chyna and Ivory match, but that’s more for a storyline build to Mania. The Triple H and Austin feud throughout the night building to their 3 stages of hell match at No Way Out is also really good.

[@BdamanDjalou]

1992

[@uc95nu51]

This is real rasslin right yonder

[@handsomeblackman255]

Double onion mf.....lol 😂

[@hunterwade9030]

Odd gimmick episodes should just be a rule across all podcasts

[@ILoveFilm247]

In New Hampshire in like the 2000s, I saw a wrestling goat at a local show. Also, come on Bruce, there is a difference between revealing things to a small group of people in a private room, like a commission, and going on nationally/internationally televised programming and talking into a camera about it.

[@nichhodge8503]

5:21 when Bruce is talking about the people Bray touched backstage I guess he’s talking about Jojo

[@brandonfreeland3651]

TL Hopper. Bastian Booger. Mantar

[@frankyturrizo4240]

None of the ones we wanted to hear , the mid 90's guys like Mantar who Russo said were all Bruce's ideas . Maybe that's why .

[@bb-gc2tx]

yeah but he had hooves 🤣

[@blakerobertson7249]

They've already done a show with Bruce talking about all them

[@frankyturrizo4240]

@@blakerobertson7249 thanks I'll have to look that up . I might have watched and forgot

We want to hear new ones not same old

[@NLaBar]

Bruce always makes a disgusted face every time he takes a sip of Prime

[@alexwheaton6723]

Great episode!!

[@bb-gc2tx]

todays aew fans would complain the bear couldnt work and was taking a younger talents spot 🤣

[@andrewbowyer5043]

You just described Chris Jericho 😂

[@rw8185]

Which wrestler would Bruce prefer to do a Bruce Prichard gimmick? Speaking of outlandish 😀

[@Pastyovercoat]

Honestly I’d rather hear Jim sing lol

[@Jestin612]

😊😊😊😊😊

[@sithari518]

Bruce taking credit for the Fiend. I believe him, y'all! we all knew when he began STW he was trying to get rehired, he was literally praying at night before bed. So basically, Bruce created Bray Wyatt. Ahyuk! Unbelievable the depths this carny will sink to. Smh.

[@Spooky_515]

I wouldn’t imagine anyone would want to take credit for the fiend. The mask and character belongs next to Mantuar and Bastion Booger

[@VisualTedium]

Freaked

[@alexhartman6144]

Love the Freaked inspired thumbnail 😂 such an underrated movie

[@zackzero5670]

I made a cAw to n 2k named ape drizzle once

[@johnliberty3647]

Of all gimmicks that caused me to lose interest in Wrestling.. Brother Love. Guess like I am like Andre, love Bruce but hate Brother Love. When I tried to watch Wrestling again years later every wrestler had the same first name “The”. Except Tito Santana who was “El” . Tito Santana was over when I watched with out a gimmick. When more than 20% of wrestlers or personalities have an over the top Gimmick then all gimmicks are useless. I liked the subtle gimmick with a dash of over the top gimmicks performed by some of the best actors in the business but by 1990 it was childish

[@deempees]

[@johnliberty3647]

English please

[@hattorihanzo2275]

Brother Love was amazing. I bought the action figure.

[@johnliberty3647]

Maybe I stand alone in this, hated a preacher type in Wrestling. I was so shocked I would really like the man behind the character.

[@jayhiggs2K]

How big is Bautista's.........well, you know

[@seanbean3826]

Really awesome episode.
