amazing response to criticism.

Reminds me of the FFPW thread a few days ago!

I've met the lads and they are a lot smarter than what comes across on the radio. I think it's because they spend their time reading and reacting to fan opinions instead of focusing on discussion themselves.

I can understand how aggravating it is to have some anonymous internet user denigrate the years and years of work put into WWR with a swift post but ya gotta handle yourself with more decorum. Putting yourself out there on the internet (the nicest place on earth) invariably means criticism. Don't make enemies on the site, just move on.

if you want please use this intellegent comment which does higlight the capabilities of the lads involved to further discussion about the radio show but also take note of what he says as you will not only get positive or feedback that you believe you deserve from this thread if peoplle dislike the product on offer they are allowed to voice their opinion once they dont make baseless acusation i.e saying that something heinous was said on air when it wasnt in which case they will be moderated by the moderaators including myself.

Diabhal Beag

I've nothing against ye personally (sorry if it came across that way). I used to listen and the fake hatred of Mark Savage just took the piss. Could ye not have had a decent conversation instead of all the fakeness?

jaykhunter

I thought the heel Mark Savage gimmick was amazing but sure that's just me. Seeing the LAW's facebook page blow up during their broadcast, have you considered instead of having people text in, have them interact on your facebook page? So you guys can make points while one person reads out any funny facebook posts? It'd give you guys more time for discussion while also giving your listeners a platform. You guys are online and over the radio so it wouldn't split the audience.

Anyway just an idea :pac::pac:

but1er

anyone link me to the fourm on that site please??

cheers lads for the advice and i will pass it onto the lads today and get them to come on here and have a chat with you.

This was one of the main factors was to get ideas and i think you have giving some good ones and also try improve the show for the future.

i am also sorry for the way i responded to it tbh (fews beers in me) but sorry again

i included a link in my post! But here it is again http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2233123885

no i got your link and the lads liked it but im looking for the criticism one

From a boring start to the 3 hour special on Monday Night Raw to a shocking ending with

an invasion from the NXT Rookies damaging the ring and taking out everyone at ringside. Are the WWE finally getting their act together to try and get ratings up by doing shocking stuff?

Over on TNA we'll preview Slammiversary which is on this Sunday.

Join Dave... See more Power, Danny "The Pain" and Mark Savage for 28 minutes of non stop heated discussion, these guys know their wrestling. Dublin's best wrestling chat show that is heard worldwide by many of its fans, even those in America who don't like listening to yes men on various America wrestling radio shows, we back off from nobody and that's the bottom line because we say so. Also note WWR is the second most listened show after Live Drive and that’s a fact, that’s why we’re on air nearly 6 years.

what was the name of the show/presenters? How long did it last? Are there any links on the net?

Just wondering! :P

I don't know but when it first started, an American guy called Charlie Wolfe (I think that was his name) used talk to a guy who knew all about it and people could phone in and ask questions. It wasn't a great show looking back on it but a good laugh.

jaykhunter

fair enough. Seems a bit mean-spirited to bring it up here though.

Yes, but it's not the first like it says in the original post :pac:

jaykhunter

well if you don't know if this RedFM show was actually first or not, it's a moot point to bring up.

Not trying to make a big deal here, was just pointing out that these guys weren't the first...he's giving incorrect information...lets just forget it.

jaykhunter

you said you didn't know if RedFM was the first, after matter-of-factly stating that WWR weren't the first. That's pretty mean.

Alright last post on this because its getting silly. I know for a FACT that WWR weren't the first because they were set up in 2005 as the opening post says. RedFM had a wrestling show in around 2000 onwards.

Well you are wrong. Vic Barry had a segment talking about wrestling once a week and that was that. Never a show, nothing more than a small nod.

I heard Paul Heyman :pac:

jaykhunter

You guys need an hour; at least half an hour discussing your own thoughts about the news/topics, and 20-30 minutes taking calls/texts. It bugs the crap outta me when someone's making a great, interesting point, and gets interrupted to read out a text about how great Cena is!

I suppose that's down to me wanting a smark radio show, which is probably really boring for 'regular' wrestling fans!

d1975

when you think you have the answers, we change the question
