I still can't believe Batista won the Rumble last year. Remember how loud the crowd was getting for Reigns too? Probably my least favorite Rumble winner next to Del Rio and Sheamus.

it took them about 5 mins to get psyched for Reigns. The boos from #30 were REALLY REALLY strong.

The sad thing about the whole rumble was the fact that the crowd was expecting Bryne to come out...but received a broken Rey Mysterio :(. Of course the crowd had to go behind Reigns since there were no other choices. Anybody but fucking Batista.

Encino Man is a Pauly Shore movie to me, and it is wonderful.

That is the first time I've seen/heard John Pollock. Please don't tell me anyone here likes him.

Is it so hard to find some reasonable wrestling media personalities?

You need to cut that shit RIGHT NOW.

Hardest working man in the wrestling podcast internet bidness. Pollock in this video is just him being a bit more chippier. Dude is a professional ass professional.

And I made him say legit shook.

All wrestling personalities/"journalists" are terrible. I have no idea why anyone would want to listen to them. Read something, sure, but listen to them? I feel the same about listening to gaming "personalities".

I find it all gross and almost offensive in how annoying they all are. Nerd boners everywhere. I can't handle it. I can't handle listening to 40 year old men talking about the intricacies of some angle. I'd be much more willing to read it than listen to them. And as for video games, fuck all of it. I don't want to read or listen to anything regarding them.

I wish the Hogan/Kidman match wasn't full of bullshit. I wanted to see how Hogan would take hunna.

Speaking of which...

Top 5 random dream matches:

1. Kane vs Ricky Steamboat
2. Hogan vs Tanahashi
3. Melenko vs Sid Vicious
4. Brian Knobbs vs Shibata
5. Meng vs Tiger Mask

The thing about Pollock is that he's not a personality. He's very clinical but not boring. He's really the greatest for that - you never hear anything stupid out of him, he's always a serious guy who sometimes gets driven to the point of despair, but he's not a "SyxxPacXxX420Wolfpac" style personality at all. It's literally his job, and he focuses on the job part of it.

Streamers, friend Cure. They're called streamers. They're a sign of respect to the in-ring talent. ROH is just keeping it fun and playful.

ROH fans were, are, and will forever be twats. They only did the streamers to be smarky LOOK HOW SMART WE ARE WE WATCH PURO VHS TAPES bullshit.

There are some truly terrible wrestling podcasts out there. The O Show comes to mind. Bruce Blitz and his youtube crew of misogynist bros too.

Pollock and Wai Ting are pretty entertaining, though. The one I think needs to go from The LAW crew is Lovranski, who sounds like any fan who got "smartened up to the business" in the mid-90s.

In my mind, all wrestling podcasts that aren't done by people like Austin are basically full of Matt Striker cunts and I'm not subjecting myself to that.

Eh, depends on the fans. I don't think ROH smarks are any worse than smarks who attend any show from any promotion, WWE or otherwise. There will always be annoying super smarks who aren't aware of their own shitheadedness, but there are some "normal" ROH fans too.

You're brainwashed and don't even realize you're one of them. It's sad, friend Alucard. Drop ROH. It is rotting your brain.

Review an Impact is reborn anew later tonight. Only wrestling podcast worth following week in and week out.

Don't have to watch Impact to enjoy it, in fact its a better show when you don't watch it. Going to become my Monday morning commute show.

I would love to hear a giant bomb type of podcast without the giantbomb cynicism. Something where dudes are shooting the shit, talking about wrestling without being too overly smarky and not a lot of marky.

I don't know. They have a female host they treat like shit sometimes too, call women sluts, bitches, etc. and just use vulgarity because they think we're still in the Attitude era. Only listened to two shows before deciding they're totally shit.

I'd rather listen to Wai and Pollock than an Austin podcast that seems like it's made up of 50% ads and Austin talking about random bullshit I don't really care about. Some of his stories are entertaining, but a lot of the time he just rambles about nothing. When he brings his wife on... ugh. Same shit with Jericho and JR. If someone uploaded those podcasts without the ads that would be great.

I agree that most wrestling personalities are annoying as fuck to listen to, but Pollock and Wai are the shit.
