No one is gonna miss Michael Cole as a commentator. He and tazz were a good pairing, but it stops there. Cole as the lead was absolutely brutal

[@TheTruth-pl3mk]

Agreed. Once JR was permanently replaced on commentary, I knew my time as a WWE viewer was almost over. I could write an essay on how much I hate Cole's work. But quite simply, he can ruin any match (even a classic) with his voice. One example for me was the WM26 match between Michaels and Taker. The year before, they had a better match (featuring JR on play-by-play). How much JR contributed to it is debatable, as he was long past his best days by then. But at WM26, I found myself distracted by how bad Cole's commentary was. It took away from what was a minor classic. I could apply that to any amount of matches he's called over the years...

[@josephscott6388]

someday even Michael Cole will be the announcer old guys all remember from their childhood. Bob Caudle is the one I grew up with as a kid. and I doubt many think he's the best. but he's the one who will always stick wit me cause he was the one I heard when I was growing up. wrestling is half nostalgia.

[@josephboza7448]

Another great episode as always. The poll that Conrad is talking about who do we want Bruce to talk about in length our choices: Yokozuna, Sycho Sid, Randy Orton, Diesel. This Royal Rumble discussion I think was needed cause it was interesting to pick Bruce's brain in the 1999 Royal Rumble pay per view. I agree with Bruce, I hated the Royal Rumble match. It did feel like as a viewer watching this back recently to get ready for this week's episode that the writers hands were tied. I think secretly Vince just wanted to win this match to fulfill a fantasy of not being a wrestler. It was cool seeing Chyna in the rumble match. Who would have known that this match would have started a career for Chyna that wouldnt be forgotten in the wrestling world. I thought The Last Man Standing match was way too much. At this point Mankind had done 3 Hell in the cell matches (tag team with Kane vs Steve Austin and Undertaker, vs Undertaker, and vs Kane) and this match all in a span of 6 months. I was very surprised that an audible wasnt called. I put the blame on the ref. I thought after the hell in the cell vs Undertaker, Vince didnt want no more of what Mankind did. Yet, look at the crazy shit he did. When Mick went through the electricity thing, I thought Shane was going to call an audible but Rocky was determined to hear that son of a bitch say I quit? I wonder what was going on during that conservation.

[@bentron3030]

Will forever hate that Vince won this Rumble. By this time in 1999 I was already getting tired of The McMahons being in matches. 20 years later Shane is in two main feuds.

[@darthbigred22]

@1:41:23 Faux outrage for smarks and later IWC types to act self righteous about. I know Mick likes to act like this bothered him and that he and Rock weren't cool with each other for a few weeks after "Beyond the Mat" but that would require you to forget the rest of his career in WWF. I'm not talking about the Rock obviously they patch it up by the time they become a tag team. The NY Street fight and the HITC where he is retired are two of the most brutal matches I have ever seen. Royal Rumble 99 is a lot of chair shots true...the Street fight and HITC with HHH are everything else. Even with a gimmicked ring that had to have hurt. Let's not forget Big Show hole in one throwing Mick into the grave either. On the other side that IS why Mankind is famous. He is a deathmatch guy, he is the continuation of the Amarillo/Terry Funk style, and he wasn't a ring technician. He's a scary lunatic with 3 personalities who is basically unkillable and if the match was ever a last man standing he'd likely win against anyone. Mr. Socko and his "Have a Nice Day" stuff are all to smooth over watching a guy who basically has a real fight with most of his bigger feuds. Bret can talk about how great his worked punches are Mick literally rolled on tacks. Honestly had Benoit's murder/suicide of his family not occurred this would mostly be forgotten. However since people like believing that someone like Benoit can take so many chair shots (or more likely his use of the flying headbutt) that can screw you up so much you kill your family YET are considered completely liable for it? Which then begs the question if that's the case then what does the brain injury matter if we are holding to what he did was so evil even if he wasn't really there it doesn't matter? We don't hold pilots as evil people if they have a stroke or heart attack and crash into a crowd of people. Make up your minds either Benoit lost his mind and came to after and killed himself or Benoit was liable the entire time. It can't be both. The brain injury was irrelevant or it was the cause But quit using it as an excuse to shit all over everyone who was hardcore's career ESPECIALLY when the modern 5 star match guys end their careers even faster.

Ministry Taker is the logical conclusion of the character...he's a demon, he's evil, he should be doing satanic shit 24/7. He is NOT a face ever! Even when he is a face, it makes no sense how he is a face. Don't give me that whole "it's silly he is sacrificing people and speaking in tongues" bullshit. He has been a undead "monster" since he debuted. He's not Frankenstein like he's merely a dead man who was brought back to life by science it it heavily implied there is some spiritual connection. Russo actually made the character make sense! I think in retrospect the whole Ministry including Taker should have had the Hell entrance like the Brood.

Then he changes his shirt and wears leather pants a man of his size and frame should never wear and younger millennials act like that was a different version of him. Ministry was definitely one of the better theme songs as well versus his 10 minute entrance song or Kid Rock/Limp Bizkit/ or the edgy Applebee's commercial sounding "Dead man walking". I have literally went to the store during his streak entrances and got back before he was in the ring, it's that long of an entrance. Crow Sting is how you do the good undead guy

Michael Cole will never be celebrated as a great commentator. Don't kid yourself.

[@Sean-os3fo]

01:36:35 is one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard. OHHH SHIT NO HE DIDNT

[@FforFake]

That Michael Cole conversation made me laugh. What a joke.

[@lukemcinerny8220]

Rumor has it the dark ministry story came from Ed Ferrara's time in hollywood at kubric esq eyes wide shut parties. lol

[@mattmoon5300]

Luke McInerny eyes 👀 shut is an amazing movie

Go and buy Bic Soleil lady's razor. Best razor I've ever used on the old bean bag

[@travismcdonald6576]

The Finger Poke Of Doom killed The Monday Night Wars. McMahon buying WCW killed wrestling.

[@johnnyfive222]

Travis McDonald For the last time. Vince didn't kill wrestling. AOL did when they merged with Turner and didn't want wrestling on TV. Vince just bought it because of the Library and it's video. It was already done before he bought it. Please educate yourself.

[@hbkslazyeye6916]

And Vince russo and his retarded as fuck storylines

[@gothchicksbongrips5712]

Finger poke of doom had nothing to do with the fall of wcw. Wcw was going down hill way before this. We dont see the behind the scenes, just what's on tv

[@travismcdonald6576]

Lone Wolf Well that’s like, your opinion.

[@johnnyfive222]

Travis McDonald it’s not a opinion it’s a fact moron everybody has said this

[@Kylersinjin]

That no Chance theme had to have been written as a Rage Against the Machine knock off

[@dougripley861]

I seriously think Russo watched jerry springer and then wrote tv for the week.

[@lukemcinerny8220]

Vinny Ru has said him and Ed used to watch Jerry springer whilst writing the tv, but hell you can't argue with their results at the time lol

[@dougripley861]

Yeah never heard him say that cuz I can’t stand listening to him talk with all the damn “bros” he throws out. And no I don’t hate the guy he’s done some good things too.

[@chozahfearless7524]

@@lukemcinerny8220 key word at the time Russo never got past that and Jim Cornett never got passed the 80's.

You guys have s great show, but please step into reality for a moment on this one issue: Michael Cole is and always has been a terrible announcer and personality. His translucent lack of presence, appearence and shrill voice alone have done nothing but an on screen representation of what has alienated the fans that were so loyal to the wwF for so many years. Cetain things should remain staples. The display of the product requires someone who knows the names of the holds. A retired wrestler with a good mind (Gorilla Monsoon) and strong voice. JR did his homework, had a personality. Anyone can work a lot and make it look hard. In this case Cole has done it for years and made a shit load of money aiding in the degredation of the product. He is to be respected for many things , i'm sure. Way to go. Michael Cole does not belong on any "GREATEST ANNOUNCERS" list. You gentlemen have an awesome show going here, and i respect you both. Just sucks that so many of us fans have to sit in a gymnasium in Schenctady Ny; watching Tom Brandi hustle stolen WWE merchandise under a Patriot mask, just to experience the faint reminder of why so many of us used to love 'this great sport'.
