The callers on the Tuesday show were pretty good
Usually they are unbearable
Hah, I was thinking that too. I wonder if they filter them better. Or what percentage tend to make it on air in general.
This Flair one is great.
He had me cracking up talking about how undertaker hates taking his chops
They should be doing stuff like this on wwe network .
100% agreed!
They need to bring back that legends Roundtable too. Lots to talk about lots of legends around not doing much.

Good 'check in' conversation with Flair.
He said that they (WWE) doesn't invite him to go to the performance center. Basically, because he's unpredictable.
Due to being such a mark for Dusty Rhodes, he came up with the gimmick 'Ramblin' Ricky Rhodes', which Verne Gagne immediately shutdown.
He mentioned that he doesn't care much for written promos. Criticism that has been echoed by wrestlers and fans alike.
Overall, I enjoyed the episode and its good to hear that he is doing well.

These call-in shows have been a joy to listen to. 
On the latest, Steve talked about how him turning heel in hindsight may not have been the best decision, but by doing so it allowed him to tap into the comedic side of things et cetera. The caller made mention to this (below) moment.
As a fan, I always appreciated the fact that he was willing to take a risk.
Another caller asked about him making appearances on WWE program. He said that he would do so now, if there was meaning behind it.

He was right with his comments on that. Seemed like pointless talk to a guy then stun him stuff on repeat and it was definitely getting old.

I agree. It's good that he is/was aware, of what multiple appearances could do or rather not do for his character, when they lead to nowhere.
Yeah he was talking about the heel turn with Russo or somebody else I saw in a youtube link..it's like the big irriation for him. That he can't rewrite the stunner on Vince instead of shaking his hand.

Good unleashed call-in show today.
A caller asked about the lack of blood that is in the current era, most recently pertaining to the HIAC PPV. Austin felt that it was a bit of a downer, considering that there was a precedent set in regards to that kind of match.
He agreed with Ambrose's comments, about not being a fan of the overtly sexual stuff that happened during his era, nor was he a fan of any of the racial stuff that occurred.
Talked about being a fan of Bray's finisher, but feels that he can drop his opponent faster- doesn't need to be a long pause all the time. Feels that the spear is overused, and that while Reigns has the 'Superman Punch' hopefully he has looked at the big picture when it comes to having a cemented finisher.
He also talked about how its a shame that the DDT is now viewed as something that gives one a false finish, when back when Jake was doing it it was lights out- there was no getting up from it. I couldn't agree more.

I listened to JR's latest show with Alex Greenfield, who was the former head writer of SD.
This was a really great show. Now, Alex is pretty long-winded but what he says is also highly entertaining.
He talked about nearly coming to blows with Vince on numerous occasions, in regards to writing certain segments. Said that the relationship would've been better had he played his position and picked his battles.
According to JR, he saw the writing on the wall with his tenure in the 'E' once he moved from Connecticut back to Oklahoma. He does acknowledge what Alex says about Kevin Dunn never caring for him however and how that may have had something to do with it.
There was high praise for Mark Henry and JBL. Alex says that at one point he had written a project for Spike TV and offers had been made for the aforementioned. I definitely could see both down the line doing some acting.
Tells a short story about Mark coming up with a line during a promo against Rey, that blew Arn Anderson away and had Vince applauding him.
All in all, it's well worth a listen.

He called the Mania 13 match with him and Bret. If you watch the Match along side his commentary like he says. shyt is incredible
Just watched 17 with Austin's commentary...that was pretty damn entertaining. I actually don't plan on watching many more, because I don't particularly care to hear about the ins and outs of a match...I just like to enjoy and remember it for what it was. But it was extremely fascinating and insightful. Just simple stuff like Austin breaking down the pacing on covering for false finishes, pulling the camera away for blading, etc. Great stuff.
