Did you listen to Michael Juicy PS Hayes on SCSA? If so, what did you think?
I know this is late but:
Hmm... this is fun. The way I did my list was instead of just being most important/popular, was to look to parallels with the actual Rushmore. It has:
Washington: Founder of the Nation. None of the USA would exist as we know it without him. A Stalwart but a Rebel too. Could have been King but refused the crown.
Jefferson: Overseer of Expansion and settling the foundations. Helped the USA look beyond the initial 13 Colonies with the Louisiana Purchase. He was also a noted intellect.
T. Roosevelt: The Cowboy from New York City. Noted for success with the Spanish War, the founding of the nation's first National Park and initiated the construction of the Panama Canal. He is considered the first of the Modern Presidents and one of the first to bring American Power beyond its borders. Also no sold getting shot in the chest during a speech. These days overshadowed by FDR.
Lincoln: The GOAT President. Oversaw his Union almost break apart but brought it from the brink. Ended slavery.
Oh, and it was built 1925. So for the sake of this list, I'll put a limit to the early 90s. Based on that, and my little knowledge of wrestling history, here is my attempt:
Gorgeous George: The source of inspiration for many of the biggest wrestlers, like Hulk Hogan. In his day, most wrestlers where still circus strong men. George introduced theatre into the business.
Ric Flair: He was one of the wrestlers to take what George started and pretty much perfected it as the Nature Boy. Also a founder of one of the most important stables, the Four Horsemen.
Jake The Snake Roberts: You would think Stone Cold Steve Austin would fit better as the first Modern Professional Wrestler, but I see Austin more like FDR (and thus the Monday Night War as wrestlings WWII). He was one of the first wrestlers to bring psychology into the mix, both in and out of the ring.
Bret The Hitman Heart. I had a hard time thinking of any wrestler whos achievements would translate to what Lincoln did for his country, so I just pick who I thought was the greatest of all time. While I considered Savage and Hogan for the spot, I believe they are represented well by George.
I decide to keep the talent separate from the promoters, because honestly I think theres enough to do so. I know Vince McMahon, Paul Hayman and Stu Heart could be three contenders but I dont know enough about wrestling history to make a list about it.
Im not all that confident about the selections, but I am wondering who you guys would pick with the above in mind.

Soon podcastone will only have wrestling podcasts, they'll have hundreds of them. Twelve of them will be hosted by the Miz. They'll have constant rotating guests, one week the honkey tonk man will be on Bo's podcast, the next week he'll be on Dean Malenko's, and it'll go on and on until the end times.

No joke I love 2000 WCW. It is stupid and fun. Same reason why I enjoy TNA. I can appreciate the good with the bad.
No. I'm behind on Austin's stuff and podcasts in general. I have no desire to listen to Hayes being interviewed. I don't want to listen to that voice for 45 minutes, and hear that voice talk himself up like one of the greats.
What if he sings though? That be great!
Rachel Riley chat on WrassleGAF!
You can never go wrong with Rachel.
Also, that Alex Riley (comedian) is from around where I am right now, so it could be them. That's a relief.

The New Japan roster in Taiwan;
Nakamura & Okada, with Gedo, throw the opening pitches at a baseball match;

THE FUCK WAS THAT, OKADA?!?
At least Nakamura tried.
He should have ran up and Boma Yed the catcher though.

Jake and JR had a good conversation .
Want to see some of the assassins and kentuckians on the network

I remember reading a while ago that she was in school or something. It seems like a lot of people, post-wrestling, go into real estate or insurance.
According to http://www.wwe.com/events/wwepresents-live-tampaapril11 he'll be at the live show tonight, so maybe he's better now? I'll be there, and I'll post my thoughts tomorrow.
Good for her!

Even though Okada's got a background in baseball. Oh, the humiliation! Shinskay's just too damn good at everything.
I feel like WWE knows who is all of Meltzer's sources and it got to the point where every leak is a controled one. So basically, he has become a source for whatever information or misinformation WWE wants out there.
If he is not directly on the payroll, which is a bit conspiracy, but why not? Every site gets its rumors from this one guy and every site reports it as is. It even seems like a wasted opportunity not to manipulate him.

Man Jericho's podcast is shit for the most part. At this point I will only listen if it is a decent guest. I'm finding I don't like JR's podcast either. He just comes off insufferable and pretty condescending.
Austin's is gold. Hell I even enjoy his solo casts.
About the only wrestling podacasts I listen to now are Austin's, and most of the MLW stuff (even Cornette's).

That's TMZ , they seem to get "leaks" before everyone else
What you're describing does happen, but at some point they realised that basically everyone is in contact with Meltzer anyway so they started working their own people for the biggest secrets. I'm okay with that.
Man, I read some on TNA spoilers for Next week and this from Kurt Angle just sounds bad:
So he basically confirms everyone fear and the reason why WWE released him in 2006 in this one promo.
edit: Another great review-an Impact from the guys. TNA is in just a bad funk again its creating great podcasts.
Angle cut a promo and said he's back. Angle says he's not done until he's taken out on a stretcher or put in a body bag.

When it comes to the best podcaster in the wrasslin' business it is by far John Pollock who never gets on my nerves, always puts out TONS of content and keeps things professional. I love that guy, and probably will never get sick of him.
Even when he was arguing with a VERY angry Wai Ting about the whole TNA sexual harassment stuff. Wai was wrong for that!

Does he have any sort of streak at Bound for Glory or something like that he can grasp on to? He's more painkiller than human at this point.
Needs to get on the phone with HHH and save whatever is left of his body to have at least a serviceable retirement match. Hopefully with Cena to come full circle.
But heck, at this point I hope he lives to be around for his HOF speech. I won't be shocked if Angel checks out early.

Vince aint burying the hatchet with him to let him in.
I almost admire how absolutely shameless they are in stealing from WWE.
If he forgave Warrior he can forgive anyone.
Only person that will NEVER be in it is Benoit.
When can I buy the Self-Destruction of Kurt Angel?
Didn't the dude leave because WWE didn't want to be held responsible for his death? I'm pretty sure yes. If anything they should feel sorry for him.

It's TNAs fault for enabling him. Did he really need to do a moon sail to the top of the Cage
Dude has need surgery for months and instead of that he's been going out and doing moonsaults off of cages in front of <1000 people.
I think I remember it as them wanting to go to rehab(which they would pay for), but he refused. Someone here can probably give more details than I, though.
Angle's just had surgery on his knee. He's also had his well-documented neck problems. Couple that with drug issues (supposedly painkillers) and some drinking problems (probably as a result of watching WCW 2000), he's not 100% at all.
He left WWE to rest and heal up, and signed with TNA a couple of weeks later. Can't imagine Vince was too impressed by that...
Kurts wikki says
Angle stated in the Kurt Angle: Champion documentary DVD that he asked for his release from WWE because he couldn't take time off and was working hurt, severely on some occasions. He also states that when he quit, WWE lost their very top talent, as he was at the very top of the payroll
So that's his side of the story. But a lot of what I read was that he was completely out of control and was going to become a liability.
Depends on who you believe...I've just been reading up on an Observer column on just that subject:
WO archived column
If we thought Cena would have trouble hanging up his boots...
First of all, lets start with the obvious here. Kurt Angle was not fired from WWE because Vince McMahon was tired of him, and they didnt have anything left for him to do. They fired him because his physical and mental condition had gotten so bad that he was becoming a danger to himself, and to his fellow wrestlers. They fired him for a very good reason, and TNA apparently didnt care about any of that. At least it wouldnt appear so.
Vince McMahon didnt fire him for any reason. There was a perfectly valid reason, and it was to protect Kurts health and well being, and hopefully motivate him to get the help he needed. And of course it was also to cover their own asses if something happened to Kurt, or someone he was in the ring with. Lets not forget that part of it. But Vince made a decision that hurt his company. Losing Kurt Angle certainly didnt benefit WWE in any way, and even less now than Angle joined with their closest competition in the wrestling business. Im sure they knew it was a possibility Angle would sign with TNA. And they still fired him. That tells you how bad things really were and are. The problems are not going to go away because Kurt works for a different company now.
Yup more or less what I recall

Cena could never make a living as a salesman... It's been incredibly frustrating to watch over the years. Curious how that Raw tribute to Warrior will play out.
Angle... Man, he needs to retire, even working for WWE with a limited schedule would probably be better for him at this point than working for TNA at all. It's crazy to think that he's now worked for TNA longer than he did for WWE and yet it was WWE that footed the bill from their policy when it finally went to rehab that they wanted him to get into back in 2006 for his problems.
On another note, I finally decided to get out of the mid-2000s and dumped AT&T as my ISP and made the final call Charter's yesterday. They were surprisingly responsive and had someone come out a few hours later, didn't expect to get someone until maybe Monday. The guy ended up redoing pretty much everything outside because it wasn't up to day with their current standards, nice to not have a cable line running on my roof anymore due to the original cable company's poor planning/laziness. I was expecting to have the still advertised 30/4 speeds for a couple months but after I ran a speed test I found my area already had Charter's download speed upgrade to 60Mbps. It hasn't been 24 hours yet so who knows, something might go to shit but so far it's been nice and best of all I'm paying the same goddamn price a month with the promo as I was with AT&T and their promo, after that runs out it's still going to be the same damn price as AT&T would be without promo pricing which actually I have managed over the years to generally retain due to threats of cancelling, time will tell if Charter will be that willing but I'll concern myself with that next year. It's nice to watch 1080p video streams without pauses and GIF filled GAF topics where they're all loaded before I see them.
