WCW heel Jericho was absolutely great. Easily one of my favorite heels of all time.
If you like OSW you'll definitely like Attitude Era Podcast. They are pretty comparable.

You listened to The Lapsed Fan? There are many impressions there, most notably a very entertaining Vince McMahon...
The last thing I need right now is another wrasslin' podcast, buuut I'll probably dabble.
Lol they don't touch anything that The Lapsed Fan does with impressions because holy fuck those are the greatest things ever.
The impressions on Attitude Era are more along the lines of "so cartoonishly bad it's good" kind of thing.

Lapsed Fan is probably going on my subscription - so long as I can find the time. Isn't it really long?
The good thing with AE is that it's between an hour and 1 1/2, so about 3 commutes in the car. They are well spoken and critique it pretty well - they don't pull any punches, appreciate the gimmickry and shitness, and most of all enjoy it.

Oh, he's incredible in WCW. So, so incredible.
That being said, I don't know if I buy him as a world champeen, like, ever. I see him more as a perennial upper mid-card champ.
I look forward to his Undisputed Championship run, to see if he wins me over as a top guy. I don't remember much about it.
I'm also going to throw this out there - in my opinion Jericho sticking around for so long has hurt his overall legacy. WWE will try to inflate it by saying that he's a veteran who's been around for XX years. But to an entire generation of wrestling fans he's known as that Bon Jovi clone who makes dramatic returns every 7 months and seems like a dad having a mid-life crisis.
Lapsed Fan is like an average of 4 or 5 hours. And the latest episodes have been released in two parts, both around 4 hours. So yes, it's long. But they are really god damn good.
A+ podcast.
I'm confused.
Yeah, they're long. But it's fun to just pop on while making dinner, or in the car, or while mowing, etc. etc.

Jericho didn't get the run he deserved until 08 tbh. His Undisputed run was overshadowed by bullshit. I think when he won and they took it away, that was when he needed it.
That pop when Jericho pinned HHH was amazing, and yeah in hindsight that was when they should have pulled the trigger on Jericho being champ.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
lmao Meltzer trying to ask Tom Lawlor's opinion on what its like to take "supplements" and dude obviously does not want to say shit about it.
No lies detected.
Why would said generation have any idea who Bon Jovi is? >_>
I'll listen to it while I'm doing menial tasks, commuting, or can't fall asleep.
I've just read his statement... fucking hell.

Legacy is totally meaningless in reality (and I'm sure Jericho knows this) and he's doing a good job playing a role they need really fucking badly.

Wreddit comments. Kefin is one of the hosts. Apparently thinking AE's portrayal of women is shitty is whiny.
Because Bon Jovi still puts out albums and tours?
Dude is human. Probably feels a bit shitty now.

I can't stand the Austin podcast. It's 20 minutes of shilling, then a ton of him dropping names all over. During the Enzo and Cass when he was talking about dinner with Nash I just kept thinking "SHUT UP". He also would interject with the dumbest shit at times while they were telling a story and derail the story. It can be so hit or miss.
They had it setup really good with Jericho, Austin and Rock. Even sort of portrayed it a bit of a fluke but he continually got the better of The Rock. Then Triple H came back, became a third wheel as the Undisputed champ, and lost like a goober. It was awful. As bad as the Booker T feud.
"I've been running through the hoops for you and you are making all the money off me, when you KNOW you should be giving me more. Fuck you, I don't care about anything but beating people up and from now on I'm going to do what I like. Pay me".
Sounds REALLY familiar.
Weirdly, I was reading Stone Cold's Wiki page on his post-WM 18 walkout just earlier...
I'm like 40 and can't tell you the last time I heard anything related to Bon Jovi. You're just some sick, Bon Jovi-loving weirdo, Sephzilla.
Attitude Era podcast is really good. worth a listen.
Lapsed Fan is still the GOAT, though. don't be put off by the length... you don't need to listen to them in one sitting. it sometimes takes me weeks to listen to one episode, and I listen during work, during gym, at home... it's all worth it.

I'm from New Jersey and could not give a rats ass about Bon Jovi. The only time you hear about him in this state is because of random one off things.

Pretty much, not like I'm losing mine so I'd own it.
It's a money angle, UF200 is gonna be huge.
This was always my favorite.Mix of shoulder and
Sometimes you have too many belts
look at that fucking CHAMPION
I just want to say that cosmetically the Attitude Era belts sucked and the 80s/New Generation era belts were a lot better.
