    A few to try...
    Art of wrestling, mentioned a few times already. One on one interviews

    I Want Wrestling - with former wwe writer Dave Lagana.

    Aftermath(formerly called Right After Wrestling) is a really good RAW review show, and really interesting as one of the hosts is a long time wwe ref - jimmy korderas.

    PWTorch- its a phone in show post RAW and Smackdown.

    lol i'll have to give it a listen! nah nothing beyond contributing to the FB page, just feedback & the occasional photoshop if there's a opening rarr! :pac:

    Lagana's podcast is well done & informative but sometimes it's really boring. But hearing about creative is pretty cool alright. I really like how it's coming from such a unique perspective that u just can't get anywhere else.

    Definite new-found love for RAW Aftermath's Arda Ocal after his 3-week stint on Review-a-Wai. He was on top form w/ Pollock! Did WWE hassle them to change their name??

    I think it was theScore's doing that changed the name. They moved it from after Raw to Tuesday's. That and the fact The Score Satellite Radio closed.

    I simply cant take Jimmy Korderas's voice personally.

    I agree with jaykhunter on IWantWrestling.

    I need to do up a list of some of the more off the beaten track/minority interest ones that I like.

    Laguna's is one I download when I like the look of the subject they're discussing. I wish they'd do more simple reviews though.

    Review-a-Wai this week reviews the Hogan Knows Best parody. It's weird listening to guys review a porno :P

    Another fan of Review-A-Wai/LAW/etc here, I preferred them not being a call in show over the last few weeks to be honest. The reviews of impact and raw are far better than anywhere else every week, I find.
    Bruce Mitchell on the Torch was very good, but not good enough for me to subscribe monthly.
    Lagana's is pretty hit and miss but it can be really good and he's obviously pretty big into the whole industry.
    Cabana's is mostly very good, I just tend to not listen to them when I don't recognise the name.
    Wrestling Observer just has too many shows, all of them covering the same things.


    Dont think Lagana would have to worry much about Piermarini, don't like that guy much at all, talks about loads of awful ideas he had as if they would have been brilliant and stuff.

    Just read Cabana's tweet that this weeks podcast is Mick Foley :O Thats a big name for him...

    Only started listening to the art of wrestling podcasts recently. They're excellent I have to say.

    I thought the 2 with Cliff Compton (Domino) were hilarious!

    Luke Gallows's interview is just as good.

    Yeah gave that a listen. Hilarious as well.

    The story about his football coach catching him wrestling was great.

    The end of the 1st Domino podcast when hes telling the story about telling Cm Punk and Colt Cabanas mates a wrestling story - I was listening to it in bed and actually burst out laughing especially the way hes describing their mates as being college graduates etc and just looking shocked.

    Anyone know of any other podcasts on itunes along the lines of wrestlecast where they interview current/past wrestlers for a decent amount of time? It doesnt have to be a weekly podcast, but id prefer it if they interviewed wrestlers from WWE or TNA mainly and it was a regular enough podcast.

    Between The Ropes (however they are on hiatus)

    Live Audio Wrestling is a week in review show with a 10-20 minute interview. But later in the week they upload a standalone unedited hourish interview on their iTunes feed.

    In Your Head.

    Monday Night Mayhem.

    Let me know if you cant find them via google or iTunes.

    F4WOnline, PWInsider and PWTorch are subscription sites with loads of interviews.

    Art of Wrestling with Colt Cabana? Typically has a 40ish minute interview with guys ranging from CM Punk, Mick Foley and other current and past wrestlers, as well as an abundance of indy wrestlers.

    Ive been threatening to do a big dirty post on the podcasts I really like and it is coming...soon. :P

    Anyway one of the series I and others look back on with the most fondness is Joe vs The World which ran in the mid 00s. A wrestling happy place of funny and smart talk. It gave exposure to a bunch of my favourite podcasters who went on to start their own podcasts. Has made a comeback a number of times due to listener demand. Joe is currently doing a series on the 1990s WWF posting shows every couple of months and in exchange he is asking for donations for charity.

    Anyway here is the show:

    Download here!

    Joe Vs. The World FINALLY returns! Joe and Justin Shapiro spread some holiday cheer as they recap the year 1993 in the WWF! Topics include Colt Shapiro, the origins of the longest running etc etc, Protunga, human feces, Shawn Michaels has knights, 1-900 scams, Lex Luger's mental breakdown, and sports trash talk. Almost two hours of Yuletide fun!

    As always, donations to the March of Dimes are appreciated.

    One of the more popular guests was mentioned by Punk live on Raw (Rob Naylor) and is now a ring announcer in FCW. All started out from the Joe vs the World podcasts.

    Best podcast Ive heard this year (big claim) it starts off a bit slow and perfunctory but really picks up:
    http://www.thecubsfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/JSS-StateoftheUnionofPeopleYouOughtaRespectShane.mp3

    JUSTIN SHAPIRSHOW episode 2: State of the Union of People You Oughta Respect, Shane

    "Though the silenced opinion be an error, it may, and very commonly does, contain a portion of truth; and since the general or prevailing opinion on any subject is rarely or never the whole truth, it is only by the collision of adverse opinions that the remainder of the truth has any chance of being supplied." - Stuart Alexander Bennett

    Does wrestling suck? Some say maybe. Others aren't so sure. This mp3 file seeks Truth: whether to boo them, or if we should be booing ourselves. Justin (me) and Royal Pains' Matt Feuerstein use the Socratic method so acrimoniously that they're not even friends anymore. A show so check it out.
    And here's the RSS feed: http://www.thecubsfan.com/cat/justin-shapirshow/feed/

    Some really good podcasts this week sorry for double posting.

    I generally really like Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast anyway. Not to be a tease but I really don't want to give away specifics as it is better for people to go in cold but this week's show with PAC is pretty special as PAC seems to take a huge step personal development wise during the show and I am really proud of him for openly talking about it.

    Colt Cabana managed to salvage the Dolph Ziggler interview that he did over Christmas :)

    I think it was said in another topic it may be coming back soon. If so, I'll say I'd love to get involved. I've become a major fan of Review-a-wai, and the non-wrestling Rooster Teeth podcast, and I'd love to take a crack at doing one with people :D


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 12,013 Mod ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    If you do want to do it then consider hitting up (I was going to mention Charisteas lol) Diabhal, walter, even BH! there's no reason you couldn't get it going :) actually any of the lads who did write ups for old ppvs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,083 ✭✭✭waltersobchak


    Unfortunately it became really really hard for us to schedule doing it with us all working or in college. And we where having more and more technical problems (I think TBC's Laptop wasnt picking up voice recording's or something like that) but if anyone wants to revive it, give it a whirl, i'd definitely help you out whatever way possible.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Cheers for the mention. I started them knowing myself personally that I could do it for a few weeks while I had the time. When free time started becoming rare I stopped recording them and TBC continued on doing cool interviews. Couldn't recommend it more though as it was very fun to do.

    I must do some research into seeing how one goes about it. I know it involves Skype and recording. I'm aware though that I don't want to step on the toes of the people who have been doing it on the boards since before I was here.

    All ya need is Skype, audacity and a decent microphone. You'd have no reason to worry about stepping on anybody's toes and best of luck with it.

    Well, being unemployed and all, I'd certainly be able to fit my times around those of others. And I think in the run up to Mania, even with just four matches announced, we'd have plenty to discuss in terms of the card and what's happening.

    I'll look into setting up Skype and Audacity on my laptop this afternoon, and seeing if my microphone is in ok condition or if I need a new one. If anyone would be interested in doing a Boards Mania Podcast, maybe reply with what times suit or PM me :)

    EDIT: 3,500th post :D
