Story Time with Dutch Mantell 67 | Your Most LOVED & HATED Wrestling Podcasts!

[@suolevramarvelous]

2 hours boys? Perfect way to pregame the weekend. Thank you, once again, Dutch and James.

[@EclecticBuddha]

Dutch playing with the camera never ceases to tickle me. Partly because I still have a hard time not thinking of him as his in-ring persona.

I spent an ungodly amount of time listening to Cornette, and still do, but I watch Dutch almost as much nowadays. I also love Mick Foley's podcast.

[@mitzicarpenter2820]

The same ones I listen to as well

[@ole-mariusbergesen7818]

The problem with Foleyis pod is conrad and his commercials

[@frizzyred1292]

Stevie Richards has a unique show that is winning me over. I think his analysis is excellent and is quickly becoming one of my faves.

[@jimmyjarrett-ws2iz]

Definitely, he comes across as a humble decent bloke.

[@RaidenRoach45]

Yeah great channel! He is very smart and humble about his former profession..Cheers Y'all

[@Wool94]

Love everything he does now.

[@rudyrusso711]

James rocking the Colt .45 Malt Liquor shirt!!! Excellent!!!

[@WeeklySteelchair_Pod]

Another fantastic show, been a fan since the shoot interviews on WSI, keep this coming, so very good. James brilliant host and podcastor. Dutch is just an absolute joy to listen to as well.

[@aaronweaver4518]

Dutch playing with the camera, swaying side to side, needs to be the intro to every show

[@jimjiggles1474]

I can listen to a 5 hour podcast easily. I do 13 hour work shifts, so i tend to listen to podcasts at work to help keep me motivated during the long days

[@TheGodinme88]

I love hearing Dutch talk. He’s humorous without even trying to be. And that cigar makes it even better 😄

[@eddiel506]

Corny and Brian Last have the most popular podcast because they have great chemistry together and it's more of a variety show than a Q&A style podcast. Yes Corny's political views are off putting but his other rants are hilarious. The good chemistry between Dutch and James is also why this podcast is the "second" most popular out there. If the hosts and guests are constantly arguing or stepping over each other then it's a terrible listen.

[@toma.4808]

Jim also has an incredible collection of stories, memorable and most importantly he was there for much of wrestling early history. I'm not into politics and I don't watch the current wrestling product, jim tends to go on abit too much about both subjects sometimes

[@highlordlaughterofcanada8685]

@@toma.4808 They're just covering what the bulk of their fans want to see in fairness. I agree it's a bit much but they still have plenty of non modern wrestling content too.

[@Flagg1991]

Jim's politics put me off and some of his rants border on psychotic, but his stories are fascinating and I still occasionally break down and listen to him.

[@brianbenoit6883]

One of the reasons I prefer Dutch is that when he gives his opinions on spots or programming he explicitly states that they're just that...his opinions. He doesn't belittle people for doing things different than he would do. Also he's very careful to point out that his opinions of people are based on personal experiences and he will not judge on any other basis.

[@shaundraughn26]

I only watch this wrestling podcast because it’s the most kid friendly with the kids running around I appreciate it. I know there are times when I have to cut it down but it’s far from Cornette. Thank you. I’m hooked

[@nriab23]

Love this shows, James and Dutch have such great chemistry, and small things like seeing the camera move around and word of the week, is nice and light hearted, compared to conrads constant, talking about himself and shilling dickk pills and his company

[@alienfish8521]

Ah so I'm not the only one who Conrad irritates.

[@carlosstoneking]

Dutch and Cornett I'm 43 and have been watching since 84 I grew up watching these folks.

[@williamspitznagel1811]

James is quite possibly one of the best going right now

[@ameliastencil6058]

💯

[@deadbrothers8348]

He is the best host easily

[@patrickboian8545]

He is easily the best. The only other one bearable besides him is probably Joe from Konnan show.

[@paulberry5750]

@@patrickboian8545 The Konnan show would be better if they weren't always talking over each other.

[@Persephone715]

Agree. The deadpan humor is a nice change from others I've seen...🤨

[@creepjoeshorrorpeepshow4231]

Nikita still does some Indy shows. I saw him maybe 5 years ago and again less than a year ago. He was signing Bibles and giving them away. He’s a really nice guy. The 1st time I meet him I was taken aback by him having no Russian accent. He had that Minisota accent like the My Pillow dude. 😅

[@averyjohnson4085]

This is the best podcast besides Jim's.

[@denniscook512]

One guy that quit/retired on his terms was Norvell Austin. With Norvells history in the business and various territories he would be a great interview.

[@TraderJack641]

Ah, both of y’all are so entertaining as a duo. Makes my Friday every week. I’d love to see footage of that well advertised and well attended Indian match that Dutch mentioned. 😂 It’s not hard to believe at all there Dutchman. I didn’t get in on the survey about wrestling podcasts but count me in the column of those who only watch/listen to this one. I am starting to listen to Shane’s podcast though. Terrific work, James! I have to add that the Raquel Rodriguez bit was hilarious. James, you needed a standby cigar there instead of a pen at that moment. Missing a chromosome is an instant classic! I haven’t listened to Jericho since about the time he joined AEW. Kudos to Dutch for calling out/being truthful about JR. I haven’t listened to him in years. His BBQ sauce is B+. Dutch needs to learn and play “I’ve been everywhere” ala Johnny Cash on the guitar, like he did with “Wildwood Flower” on CWA back in ‘86. You already know from my email that I can’t take Cornette’s mouth or “Save with Conrad”.

[@NateNizzle]

Eddie Kingston saying that Claudio refused to do business is similar to when Russo did the "Goldberg Refuses to Follow the Script". It just slaps us in the face that what we're watching is predetermined.

[@creepjoeshorrorpeepshow4231]

The camera moving doesn’t bother me. Actually it makes the show way better. I like watching him move around like a gliding head. 😂

[@biggriggs23]

I've heard a lot of good things about Dutch. Never truly knew anything about him today. Really like this podcast, I'll try to check out more. My man is a great story teller.

[@zachary_attackery]

I think more people are watching you on KZbin and more people are listening to Conrad's shows on an actual podcast app on their phone. I wouldn't really gauge popularity based on the amount of KZbin subscribers alone.

[@Xmao002]

How did Dutch and James end up working together does anyone know the origin? Been wondering this for awhile. With the 900 wrestling podcasts out there now, this is definitely in the top 3 hands down. Great content. ❤

[@toma.4808]

There's only 2 shows I tune in regularly for, Dutch & jim cornette.

[@flybynight218]

Another great podcast/episode guys. Great way to wind down after a work week/for the weekend! Keep up the good work guys, much respect Dutch & James!

[@waynecooper645]

Love this. Keep it up James and Dirty Dutch

[@namemcnamerton4249]

31:28 oh God Dutch never change.😂

[@williammitchell4417]

Including the camera stuff 🤣

[@iamdb1990]

I love the camera movement, it's always fun lol

[@DFWDan]

The super in depth Prichard podcasts were great when I was a package delivery driver. They keep you company when you are delivering by yourself for nine to ten hours

[@brianweirich6998]

Never bothers me with the camera. I listen, and I don't watch the screen typically

[@heavysounding]

"They tapped his little testicles a little bit?" Dutch is genuinely funny.

[@chrismorale_]

Love the camera movement.

[@naughtiusmaximus1811]

James looking Billy Dee Williams approved 🍻😄

[@chrishamer5734]

It works every time!!😂😂

[@dary0097]

Funny How My Favorite Podcast was Corny and Brian and now I see myself watching you guys almost everyday

[@enigma_offixial]

Honestly when it comes to podcasts, people can say whatever they want about Jim Cornette, Rip Rogers and Dutch Mantell but if you sit down for any length of time and put personal feelings or ideas aside what you can learn is fucking awesome

[@unclestinky6388]

I can't believe people would complain about Dutch straying off topic. Dutch is an interesting speaker no matter what the topic.

[@Jeowyn321]

I enjoyed finding “shoot interviews” before all the pods. I like hearing wrestlers(specifically the legends) talk wrestling. It’s very simple.

[@davidevenden9294]

Dutch and james are the perfect podcast duo.👍

[@georgiasmith2590]

Lol Dutch. My husband and I have listened to you for over 5 hours. Guess we're crazy. Lol . Love you Dutchman!!! 💘💘💘❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯❣️❣️❣️

[@ryanmccarthy7381]

James is very good at his job and I was not paid to comment this lol

[@mattroxursoul]

Think a lot of the older guys don't realize podcasts are a sort of side entertainment typically when doing something else. If I am doing busy work I can listen while doing my own stuff. It is almost never the main source of entertainment. It does not replace TV/Reading Etc...

[@MacNur-tu3cq]

Yes I listen while doing things, going for walks, or while reading. I don't watch tv so youtube and podcasts have replaced tv for me in a sense. I haven't had tv or cable in over decade.

[@GenGamesUniverse]

It's what I said all the time. Look at all the people who were "blacklisted" from WWF/WWE - Macho Man Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Ultimate Warrior, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bruno Sammartino, Bret "Hitman" Hart etc. THEY all returned to WWE afterwards, some thanks to Paul Levesque aka Triple H for the WWE Hall of Fame. Hell, we saw Jim Cornette on a WWE PPV again in over two decades when he inducted the Rock & Roll Express into the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. Savage came back and did the deal where he cut the promo on the WWE All Stars game, Ultimate Warrior came back and did the promo for WWE '14, Bret Hart had his final match at Wrestlemania etc. IF they can come back, I'm sure CM Punk could be welcomed back with open arms in WWE. Yea there are a few that hate his guts like Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, but those are the minority, because I find it ironic that they're mad at him yet Seth came from ROH (Specifically via Punk's recommendation since he did wrestle Seth as Tyler Black before Punk went to WWE) and Reigns only has his job (as do Usos/Nia Jax/Solo Sikoa) due to the fact that the Wild Samoans and Dwayne Johnson worked for WWE and used their "stroke" to get them in.

[@torymann248]

Well the camera doesn't bother infact the smooth moving capabilities is awesome

[@VirgilZandig]

Lapsed Fan is wonderful. Between the Sheets was not mentioned, but if you are a nerd who wants deep dive analysis of wrestling history, it's worth listening to.

[@MaxSlippyFist]

1:57:51 That person's review nailed it. Personally I wouldn't say basic, I'd say facile or uninformed

[@JohnDoe-wy2py]

Could you imagine Starmaker Kenny Bolin and Conrad Thompson doing a podcast together?

[@williammitchell4417]

With Dutch and his camera... It's like the old Batman TV show which makes sense because from time to time he's a Heel 😎 James you forgot someone!!! MADUSA!!! I said Deucie!!!

[@jamesreding6336]

This podcast is great I listened 🎶 to cornet and Kevin Nash to and 83 weeks

[@nbaldwin45]

I like Conrad with Bischoff and Prichard because he's not scared to argue with them and they have plenty of time to talk. Hate him with Schiavone and with guys like Arn and Jim Ross, he's too respectful - he will never pick them up on anything. The worst thing about Conrad are the endless catchphrases though, the 'quote unquote's and 'roll tides's and 'rumor and innuendo's As for picking holes in TNA, would he dare do the same with AEW? Nope.

[@MrRonhastings]

I think the comment went by unnoticed by the general public but every new age fan that listens to podcasts, openly discusses how predetermined the product is ears perked up and went what did he just say? And for a little bit dispelled belief and went "I think this dude is really pissed". What a refreshing change from today's synchronized tumbling wrestling style with interviews that sound like someone is trying to act like an actor acting out being a wrestler... no soul in it at all, just words strung together. Maybe make a work out of the work of wrestling... something like "hey I'm tired of you making this buisness a joke, you miss your spots your footwork is that of an elephant with a corn and I'm gonna beat your ass everyday until you agree with me". Wrestling used to be everyday "shit talking" and we have lost that, mainly because back in the day when those men said "you made the mistake of messing with me and now I'm gonna make you say uncle in front of everybody" they believed it 100% and 70% could do just that, at will.

[@jackmoerman7245]

I wish they would go back to the 1950s style of wrestling

[@ImOnRandom]

I love the camera Schtick , if it ain’t a gimmick, it feels like it.

[@LoneLeeGH]

Roddy Piper, who's been gone for 8 years, has as many likes as Vince Russo

[@QuartzMatrixed]

Moving camera not a problem. If not pointed out, wouldnt give it any mind. Keep up good work guys. James is the best host in wrestling podcasts. Dutch and shane both also good guys.

[@MightyBjorn]

Watching playing with the moving camera makes it worth it. If nothing else, he is having fun with it.

[@TheGrandStrander]

Not sucking up at all here, but I subscribe to a few on the list and honestly this one is the ONLY one I REGULARLY click onto. The two I HAVE given more than one effort to get into both tend to lose steam quickly in the interest department. Those are Jake's and Nash's podcasts. Jake drifts and seems to be too blistered most of the time to be understood. That's why his channel usually only offers VERY short videos I'm surmising. On Nash, I have no real beef, but I DO tend to turn off to it once the politics start getting drug into it. He's a flaming Lib, fair enough. But please, I'd rather hear ANOTHER tired worn out Clique story first. Oh....bring back Thunderfoot. Later.

[@Battlecatmode]

Dutch please let us know if you go out to do meet and greets we the people would love to meet you

[@leetant2316]

Does anyone know what cigar brand Dutch chews on during the podcast?

[@marcelmoreau2733]

Wow, Dutch is going to ,ove as much as he did in the ring in order not to trigger camera movement!

[@TribalThief]

No podcast on earth is as bad as Nash and olivers, ramblings of inside jokes and 30 periods of silences, both are utterly clueless on politics and hardly watch wrestling yet try to talk about it

[@ShadowAngel1860]

The bigger problem is that Nash is seemingly drunk all the time and even when he talks about wrestling or his career, it's usually just lies that can be debunked in a matter of seconds. Like his claim that he never got any merchandise money in WCW, even though all the contracts and money data is public knowledge and everybody has access to it. I really wonder what people listen to him and think "this is a great, informative podcast"

[@jasoncorr4619]

It started off great too

[@NinjaKittyRetro]

It truly is the worst podcast of them all including Hannibal. Nash has zero interest in being there and his non chalant answers for everything makes it painful to listen. He also lies and plays dumb far too often.

[@theboxingboy7422]

Yeah Nash is usually stoned or got a Xanax in him when he does the show and you can tell with how non chalant he is and he doesn't really care about what he's being asked about so alot of the time it's vague and then he just goes off talking about something he wants to talk about instead. Obviously he's been through alot the loss of son and it's fair if he isn't enthusiastic about doing the shows like he was at the beginning but then you just gotta not do it if you're not feeling it

[@moffjerjerrod1579]

Nash does seem ‘out of it’ a lot now. And not to excuse anything he may be ‘doing’, but he did have his son die in front of him.

[@justinroark88]

1:58:00 I stopped listening to Kliq This is because Nash and Oliver seem to be bored with the podcast and also seem to dislike wrestling

[@rayblack3198]

I got to hang out with Brett a lot the last 2 years. He wanted to train my nephew. But he ended up getting sick and never got to do so

[@williamspitznagel1811]

I like the moving camera.

[@nbaldwin45]

The other thing with ads on Conrad's podcast is he just reads the copy with no life at all. Corny has to do ads too but sometimes they're the funniest bits of his podcast because he won't stick to the copy. Conrad sounds like somebody ringing you up to try and sell double glazing.

[@ole-mariusbergesen7818]

You two almost got as good chemistry as corny and brian, thats what makes a great show. If the co host is trash cough Conrad Thompson the podcast suffers. I love Foley he is perhaps my favourite of all time, not in ring but as a real person. I love JR as well and can hardly stand watching modern wwe without him on commentary. As a youngster born in 1991 i got in to wrestling after wrestle mania 20 but had a subscription to wwe network and prefeer the attitude aera and the older ric flair stuff. I dont think i ever seen Dutch as anything other than Bradshaw's manager but i love hearing the stories from the teritory days and getting the old school input on modern wrestling.

[@NateNizzle]

I'm surprised that Dutch tried to make an excuse for Eddie. Eddie is upset because because before Claudio left to go to the WWE he would not put Eddie over. That is what Eddie is talking about.

[@bigorange2082]

Conrad was a fan boy who got lucky and married into a famous wrestling family.

I like the camera tracking on Dutch

[@RunDMG916]

Top 10 wrestling podcast (IMO) 1. Jim Cornette 2. Dave Metzler & Bryan Alvarez 3. The Don Tony Show 4. Eric Bischoff 5. Keeping it 100 6. Dutch Mantell 7. Booker T 8. Kevin Nash 9. Jeff Jarrett 10. Mick Foley, Kurt Angle (tie)

[@jackmoerman7245]

The one one of these I found interesting is Dutch

[@mjoedegravejr9111]

Concerning the Shane Douglas podcast, in order to appease Dutch, call it Franchise Wrestling Academy or Academics?

[@OomaGooma]

I wanna see Dutch in a Ben Franklin costume.

[@peterchristlieb]

Think of the Camera movement as Andre, Dusty and Jerry Jarrett letting us know they’re listening

[@marcelmoreau2733]

Isnt the Conrad network called "Ad-Free'? Because doesnt have 'official' commercials, so does all 'live' spots during podcasts.

[@carlosstoneking]

Cornett is honest goes a long way. I listen to you guys and Jim

[@DukeRoofies]

You guys are awesome. Never got into Dutch's characters back when but damn I could listen to him talk for days. That dry sense of humor always has me laughing. Plus most these podcasts have a really fucking annoying interviewer and James is anything but that.

[@nathanmartin24]

A diploma from zeb and Dutch? I’m in!

[@ronh1752]

I think the camera moving bothers James because he tries so hard to stay in frame because of starting podcasts before following cameras were a thing. But if Dutch didn't have a moving camera he would be off-screen half the time, lol I don't mind it at all, I think it's humorous to watch Dutch shuck and jive when he notices it moving =)

[@moso4397]

Intro is 🔥 love you guys much respect

[@davebooshty299]

JR and Stone Cold Both Have , To Me , Good Podcasts too.

[@shingotink5062]

Right after Nash made the Punk toxicity quote he said it was just so it could be clipped and used for clicks. It was a big troll.

[@darensparks]

Yes but he seemed a bit serious to me making fun of punks physique among other things and I believe his disdain for punk is genuine, and it should be cause punk is a douchebag.

[@zemmons5000]

I like the camera, if he moves to show something or is animated in some way to explain a move or something then it follows him which I think is smart

[@jackmoerman7245]

I do wish you would mention some of the great older wrestlers, like Leaping Larry Chean

[@SirTibzy]

Dutch's camera movements are funny as heck. Keep them I say!

[@MekoUnknown]

The camera is fine. Mind you, I'm listening on a car stereo and can't see it anyway.....

[@brainsick9531]

I think the camera moving is kinda funny

[@robertmurray6783]

Just FYI, the boxing promoter in Knoxville who booked Kevin Nash in a fight was the late "Ace" Miller.

[@robertmurray6783]

Also, Dutch is right, Ace Miller did train heavyweight champ Big John Tate. John Tate then immediately lost his title in his first defense. Then struggled with addiction and died in a terrible car accident.

[@bryanmoreland2861]

[@shanebarfield2925]

Dutch makes the camera moving entertaining! BROTHER😅

[@peterchristlieb]

Think of it as Andre, Dusty and Jerry Jerrett letting us know they’re listening

[@shingotink5062]

Disqualifying any podcast associated with James clearwd over half the podcasts I listen too.

[@theboxingboy7422]

This podcast is really good because James and Dutch just shoot the shit and it's fun to listen to. I do like cornette when he talks wrestling and the history of it because he's so knowledgeable but not a fan of the talk on politics and stuff because that stuff doesn't need to be aired out on the podcast. And Nash and Oliver has its moments but I feel like alot of the time Nash is just pretty stoned so it doesn't really flow at times the conversations. The thing about Conrad he does tend to press a issue a bit too much if he personally didn't like it in terms of like the storyline/matches m with whoever he's talking to..

[@OF4Feet]

Enjoy both Dutch & Shane's podcasts. JBLs is the absolute worst. (Go see the views....if it's getting that many positives... it's one person voting many times.... probably JBL himself)
