They ran 19 shows in the state of Tennessee in 1989. That's significant |

Wasn't talking about New York. I was just responding to your post where you said they didn't run the South often at all.

And Jericho would be a better choice than 95% of that list (in my opinion)

It depends how high-end you made your list. Eddie, Angle, Benoit, Bret, Perfect, Flair, Austin, Rock, Hogan, Steamboat and Savage came to mind without stretching my thinking too much.
That's why I don't get the "Jericho is a Rushmore wrestler" argument. He's not even in the top of his class. And that's not meant as a knock -- he's an all-time great, but that's not the same as being #1 in a field, or even in the top four. |

Yeah this one was easy for me. Jericho is the GOATNNKN (greatest of all time not named Kevin Nash). Sorry Andre.

While I think Jericho himself would vote Andre, i think those voting Jericho just have a far stronger emotional connection with y2j.
Where Cena and Show lost for me is i have 0 connection with them. I respect both but show is a flop and most of Cenas run is corporately manufactured. He got over in hos own but when he was given the ball, he failed to emotionally connect with the older crowd in his intended role. On an unrelated note that has no bearing, i loved gearing Bruno who hates everyone, put Jericho over HUGE on talk is jericho. |

Id seen some Andre before i saw jericho but very limited. And yet connect more emotionally with Andre than i do cena or show both of whom i grew up watching. Well i stopped watching due to the cena era.

I dunno, discussing how shitty Jericho's talk shows were is kind of on point.

He heard it from CyNick, so it must be reliable.

If I'm starting a company today, as great as he is, I could find another suitable Jericho and not suffer too much. Andre is irreplaceable.

All the Wrestling podcasts on podcast one are terrible.
Edge and Christian have easily the best "wrestler" podcasts |

Mooney and Duggan's is an easy listen, although Duggan repeats himself alot. J.J Dillon's and Tony Schi one's are pretty good too.
Bruce Prichard's is the worst wrestling podcast around |

And the constant impressions. I try and listen because some of the topics are interesting, but I end up turning it off after 10 minutes. Conrad is a fucking abortion too.

Conrad is the ultra mark, and he acts like he presses Bruce, but he really doesn't. I do like Prichard's Vince impression, but it ends there.

My problem with Conrad is he desperately wants to be "One of the boys", and I've been led to believe he gets to hang out with them because he pays them to be his friends.
He's just a fat mark, who happens to have money so he's not dwelling in a basement. |

This. The topics are very interesting, but you can tell the dude is working. He gets quite a lot of stuff wrong too. Like, not in terms of his story versus the online one, just in terms of things historically.
