Yeah, of the podcasts Conrad hosts, this and What Happened When are the ones I always try to stay current on. You get the grumpiness and knowledge of a Cornette without any of the unknowing hatred of modern wrestling (although there are definitely tropes that get under JR's skin and he always lets you know when they come up). I also like that Conrad's willing to actually call his co-hosts on their bullshyt from time to time.

If you start listening from around late March 2019 onward (after he left WWE and joined AEW), it's almost always great because JR's giving you his mostly unfiltered thoughts on WWE decision-making. It's always very interesting to hear his perspective on the issues that came up during his time there (I, for one, can't wait for Conrad and JR to cover Bret Hart's 1997 eventually. THAT should be a fun podcast, if some of JR's sly comments about the Kliq are any indication). And unlike Bruce Pritchard or Eric Bischoff, you don't really get the sense that JR's trying to bullshyt you on anything, as he'll just tell you outright if he doesn't remember something or something got messed up on his end, which is what makes podcasts like the one he did on Austin walking out so interesting (he just outright said that he handled that poorly as both the Head of Talent Relations and as Austin's friend).

I'd recommend any fan of wrestling at least check it out.

Am I The Only One Who Enjoys The Arn Anderson Podcast? Never Hear Yall Speak On It
I fukked with it for a while but ended up bored the majority of the time. He gives interesting information but he's not opinionated enough for me.

One issue I have with the JR pod is his love for Undertaker. He refuses to criticize that man and even if something goes down he doesn't like he just blames booking.

Conrad needs to drop Paul E a bag and do a show about ECW. Would be a lot of ducktails but it could be entertaining.

I highly doubt Paul wants to talk about that any more than he already does. And I'd imagine he doesn't need to do so in his eyes either.

Arn's podcast is weird. I don't dislike it the way I dislike Pritchard and Bischoff's podcasts, but Arn is just a bad radio personality to me. It's not as if Tony Schiavone is really giving any more insight into the inner workings of WCW and WWE than Arn is, but he's such a better radio personality (owing to having done sports radio for some 30-odd years) that you're just willing to hear him talk about shyt for an hour in the background regardless. It helps that there's an actually point to even the most pointless WHW podcasts (Schiavone rediscovering his love for wrestling, and familiarizing himself with everything he missed over the past 2-3 decades) and he arguably has the best chemistry with Conrad out of anyone in the podcast network (don't mention Bruce to me. fukk that a$$hole).

This week there was a mention on how the WWE fired Mark Eaton (time keeper for 30 years)

Didnt even wait for him to go home and call him. They pulled him out of the middle of a production meeting and told him to pack up his stuff.

Mike Chioda didnt get a convo with Vince, Linda or Stephanie after they released him this year.

Chioda was with the company for over 30 fukking years and had ties to Gorilla Monsoon and he couldn't even get an exit interview with Vince. fukk Vince and if you still support Vince in any way financially be it watching raw or subscribing to the network then fukk you too.

:rudy: :russ: Sometimes y'all get too emotional about this shyt... you think Chioda cares if you lose your job? I mean I get it, Vince is a ruthless guy... but I don't work for him, so shyt has nothin' to do with me. If the boss at McDonald's did the same to his employees, should we get hurt about it and stop eatin' McNuggets? Doubtful.
