crazy that in a brand split world, they couldn't find ANYTHING to do with Swagger (the same goes for Barrett, Cody, Ryback).

 

Barrett was released before the split, so was Cody and Ryback. Cody got the shaft though with being stuck with Stardust.

 

Ill give Smackdown credit, I trust them to follow through on a story enough that I believe this was all planned, and not just random luck

 

right but the company must've known the split was coming up...most of those guys left within a few months of the split, so you'd think they would've been more, like, "ryback, cody, barrett, don't worry...stick around, we're gonna need you guys in a month or so". Then again, it isn't that crazy to think the WWE thought of the split in a rather short time.

 

I'll miss you Brian Campbell

 

The only good thing I'll ever remember about Swagger is his theme. The guy would add nothing to TNA.

 

Haven't listened to Cheap Heat yet, but just looked at his Twitter. Is he leaving ESPN or just Cheap Heat?

 

Both, I believe ESPN kind of owns cheap heat. I'm guessing he's going to a rival network or something otherwise it wouldn't have been as big a deal to stay.

 

I used to listen to Cheap Heat, Sam Roberts, Austin and Jericho, and sometimes Jim Ross. I don't know why I stopped but it was around the time I started listening to Marty and Sarah.

 

I kind of did the same thing, I just found a lot of other podcasts and forgot about all of those. I found time to catch up on some and it was cool but there's a podcast threshold for sure.

 

Marty and Sarah trumps every other wrestling podcast and it's not even close. And I have my own wrestling podcast. Cheap Heat hasn't totally been the same since the Maker of Shoes left, but is still enjoyable. Might be biased because I know Greg, but Rosenberg keeps things entertaining. Shoemaker's new podcast typically leaves me pretty bored, which is such a bummer. Haven't listened to Sam Roberts in ages. There was a span where Katie Linendoll wasn't on as much, and she was the only reason why I could make it through an hour of Sam. WrassleRap is a fun listen, but I'm friends with those guys too, so again, biased.

I tune in for Jericho/Austin depending on who the guest is specifically.

 

Been meaning to give yours a listen. What's it called again?

Also, did Katie Linendoll come back? I do the same for Austin, Jericho, and Colt. Depending on the guest I'll give a listen eventually. And I still enjoy cheap heat when I do listen to it, it's just been a while. But Marty and Sarah is can't miss for me

 

Foleyfield. And right there with you on Marty & Sarah. It's one of the highlights of my week. But I have had to stop listening to it when I go to the gym because I laugh so much during it. I bought a Lil Enzo street shirt the other week and it's my new favorite wrestling thing I own. My girlfriend really wants a buddy card

 

Making a wrestling podcast seems relatively hard

 

Just watching NXT. Sean Maluta couldn't look more disinterested during his entrance

 

Marty and Sarah and We Watch Wrestling. Don't need anything else.

 

Don't forget Colt's pod Art of Wrestling which is basically the WTF pod of wrestling.

 

My buddy really wants to start an early WCW recap one.

 

If you don't care about listeners that sounds great. Wcw thunder forever.

 

Haha that's what I told him. He wants me to help with it, which I have zero issues with. But I can't see there being a big audience for that era.

 

You could cover WCW 2000 and make it a comedy pod also

 

Conan is terrible at running the ropes and bumping, but Andy Richter has a half decent diving crossbody

Conan Trains As A Luchador

 

Honestly I just watched wcw from 2000 and I had no problems with it.

 

It just feels like one of those gimmicky filler matches to me. And It's set up as if it's some kind of lead-in for the new season or Total Divas/Total Bellas.

I thought everyone hated the idea before when it was rumored. What changed?
