What podcasts/online radio shows do you follow?
There are a bunch out there list the ones you regularly listen to. These have made being a wrestling fan really fun in a new way. Like real sports.
I am a subscriber at f4wonline basically just for their podcasts and radio shows, I listen to them all for the most part. I always catch Austin's two shows and Jericho's if the guest is wrestling related or of interest to me. I don't too often listen to the solo Austin shows or the segments with his wife, those have run their course for me. I do pretty much every episode of The Ross Report. My new favorite is Taz. He has a radio show every day which is great, his producer Seth is great, and he's just really good on radio. And he has a podcast, I don't know if he is gonna keep doing both, that's a lot of talking but, I try to go through them all... I cannot stand The Jim Cornette Experience, it's so fucking bad. He's a psycho and I just don't like it. I also didn't like Piper's podcast because it was sloppy as hell and just totally disjointed. Chael Sonnen's podcast really fail for me too, too much of him is not a good thing. For me I really enjoy Taz and Jericho the most. |

Austin and Jericho pretty regularly. JR if he has a good guest. F4W/WO usually after a PPV just hear them review it/get their take.

I've been listening to lots of Jim Cornette recently. I've decided I love him.

Alice Radley makes the Jim Cornette podcast unlistenable, although I love me some Starmaker Bolin.
I'll listen to JR's, Jericho's and Stone Cold if they have guest that I want to hear. Can't wait to hear Superstar Graham on Ross's next week. |

Alice Radley was jarring at first, but I've gotten used to her and find her kind of infectious now. I'll listen to JR's when I'm interested in the guest too.

I regularly listen to JR, Austin, Jericho, and Cabana, as well as our own TLP, and Square Circled Gazette.
Tend to skip the non-wrestling guests on Austin/Jericho, skip the shows without guests for Austin too. Sometimes takes me a while to get around to listening to some of Cabana's stuff depending on the guest. Usually listen on the way to/from work. |

Austin is the best podcast host, but I think he's been struggling for great guests of late, his best shows are always his contemporaries that he can shoot the shit with and recount old tales, or shows he has with Meltzer as those two blend together so well.
Any Meltzer show on F4W. As a darkhose there is a YouTube page called "TheFDHLounge" that has done history of Mania and Summerslam anthologies that are awesome, and are currently reviewing every Royal Rumble ever, and there's worth checking out. |

I've been meaning to check out the podcasts the guys here do too, since I've heard tremendous things from you guys. No disrespect, hb2k, Poit and co., but I just didn't do the whole podcast thing until recently.

By the way, is it weird to anyone else that Dave Meltzer does these podcasts with Stone Cold Steve Austin and the like? Just in the sense that he's the ultimate outsider with the inside scoop and then you've got the highest grossing star professional wrestling has ever had having a good ol' chat like they're best buddies. Meltzer tries to do a reputable job and has a lot of love and respect for the business and all, but it's surreal to think of how technology has just brought these two worlds together.

Taz has been surprisingly good. Loved the RVD episode.
Austin when he has a wrestling guest on. Can't be doing with the hunting stuff at all. |

Kenny Starmaker Bolin has a podcast. It's pretty funny, but I have to recommend everyone download the episode where he has Jim Cornette on. It's the funniest hour I've ever heard on a podcast. They just make fun of each other for an hour and I was literally in tears.

I've become a bit of a mark for Jim Cornette. A lot of what I had heard about him was that he was "too old school," but listening to him speak, he really just loves professional wrestling and despises sports entertainment. I really think that if he were booking a company that didn't piss on his leg, he could put forward some pretty good, simplistic storylines. The kind we are digging in NXT.
Also, going back and watching some of his stuff as a manager. The dude could fucking talk. I watched The Great American Bash '89, and he's basically playing a face character feuding with Paul Heyman, despite being a heel for almost the entirety of his career. He and Heyman cut these promos on each other that are the sort of thing that make you wish they were 6'5, 260lbs wrestling marvels themselves, because you wanted to see that pay-off. He and Heyman are two guys that can make money with their mouths. As a performer, the dude just "gets it." It's no wonder he was chosen to head up developmental when they brought OVW under their umbrella. In a dream world, Jim Cornette managing someone against Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman is money waiting to be printed. |

Cornette is awesome. Seeing his spoken word tour in Birmingham last year re-emphasised my absolute love of James E.
I recommend his promos on Bill Watts in 1984 when the Midnights go to Mid-South for a tour de force in how to be an obnoxious prick. One of my all time favourite Cornette lines is from Smoky Mountain when the Heavenly Bodies attacked Robert Gibson's father which went: Cornette: "And then I walked right up to him and knocked his lights out" Tom Pritchard: "Wait, that was me" Cornette: "Oh yeh that's right, I kicked him when he was down." |

I can listen to Cornette talk about wrestling... for about a minute. To be blunt, Jim is a HATER. I've tried his podcast on three episodes, after barely getting through his extremely righteous thoughts on politics and social issues, you finally get to hear him eviscerate whatever topic he decides to ramble on about. And the shows are never current.
Now I'm also a little down on Jim Ross. Especially when he's in one his moods where he is going to try and be "funny" and bust some balls. His jokes come off really poorly and verge on inappropriate at times. He was on Taz's show digging for a laugh and decided to poke at John Gaburick saying the reason he hired Awesome Kong was because she was nearly as round as he was. Taz and Seth were silent for a moment, and then moved on. He is kind of a dick. |

In his latest podcast, he talks about Seth Rollins. He clearly loves the guy. He tells a good story about how Seth almost went to TNA, but Cornette told him to question Terry Taylor on some things on the contract he was offered, and in that time the WWE offered him a deal. Listening to his podcasts, I very rarely hear anything I disagree with. I think if he and I were watching WrestleMania together, he'd like the same things I liked and dislike the same things that didn't sit well with me. And the things we didn't agree upon, I'm sure he'd educate me on. And I'd also need to replace a window after a tennis racket got thrown through it... Man, such a retroactive mark for James E. at the moment. |

Now a lot of people on the board at f4wonline seem to HAAAATE Jericho lately. I really think he is the best at talking to his guests and asking questions that the fans (or me) want asked. His most recent show had a fantastic burial of the fans at the Hall of Fame ceremony this year for being total dickheads during the show. Go listen just to hear his rising anger, it was kind of increadible.

Torch subscribers, why did you go there over Wrestling Observer? Just curious.
I'm much more partial to The Observer because they also cover MMA, are more mainstream, and seem to have more connections, plus its Meltzer, though I really like Bryan Alvarez a lot too, especially on audio. |

I can see why you'd think that way. But the stars are never really mentioned beyond the observer articles and never really discussed.

Not at all saying this guy is remotely on Heenan's level, but Brad Maddox could fill the Heenan role. I got that Heenan vibe from him when he did commentary on Main Event.

Maddox and JR could do something good on that level. Not saying it would be as good, but it would be there thing and it could strike a similar chord.
