Loved this episode. I always tell people the Royal Rumble 98 is my advice on where to start for those wanting to get into the attitude era on the network. Side note, I really hope we get a Saint Valentines Day Massacre episode for February. One of my favorite PPVs of the attitude era for sure.
The best place to start for the attitude era I fill is the raw was before wrestmiana 12 where Bret Hart scream this bullshit but I actually started at 1994 king of the ring which is not a good but I started there because hogan started in wcw the same month but 1994 and 1995 are both bad year for both wcw and wwf
My brother took me when I was a kid. We sat like 5 rows down from where Tyson was sitting. I remember being like no !!! There jumping on Austin he’s in trouble lol good times
Thanks B&C great knowledge. Conrad your great love when you call Bruce out, or when you allow Bruce to redeem yourself👍great stories always.Bruce big fan keep going can't wait to hear you boys say 3x.......3x podcast champions of the world. Genius baby roll tide and a doot doot doot
I remember watching the following years Rumble, 1999, live on PPV with my brother & cousin. I remember seeing The Rock bang Mankind in the head about 683 times with a steel chair and throw him into the electrical circuit boards. I remember seeing Vince eliminate Stone Cold to win the Rumble. I fell asleep in class the next morning, which was a Monday, and got in trouble.
Here's where you gotta love wrestling fans: Bruce says Vince not Austin changed a finish..."Oh yeah, of course"...but then he says Vince not Shawn changed a finish..."Bullshit, Shawn was a politician."
The stories are mixed up. In Little Rock, it was Hunter that was hit during the promo. They left the ring. When the fans started getting unruly, Shawn came back out and said "Shows over. We will never come back to this hick town." That's when all hell broke loose
Terrible, don't know how anybody could be a Shawn Michael's fan. Great worker, fine. But terrible promo, never drew real money, and was always a crybaby bitch.
Because I was such a boyhood dream marky Mark, it was hard for 13 year old me to not like Shawn during his DX/heel run. Even though I absolutely loved Steve Austin, and knew he was winning at Mania 14, I was bummed when it concluded.
31:15 lol. Wish Vince coming up with the Nugget In The Bowl promo could've been caught on video. Would like to have seen that delivered with Vince's voice.
I was there live in San Jose! Shit, my grandparents came along and I’ll never forget sitting behind the entrance and during the casket match at then end the shit got sooooo hot that my grandparents started to get scared hahaha. Great times! I’m 35 years old was 13 back then. San Jose! Great fuckin times in my life
If you remember when the build up to mania 14 was taking place and Austin and Tyson were building up to the PPV one of the commentators called him cold stone so maybe it's a play on that
Jim cornette sounds absolutely nothing like cornette but it's hilarious. It's a greatly exaggerated much higher pitch version but that's what makes it funny. But as far as an actual impression it sounds nothing like him
This was a great way to bring in the attitude era. Shawn could get away with anything. He is and was Vince's golden goose going back to when he retired Bret Hart at Survivor Series 1997 and made Vince happy. I agree with Conrad they should have done the casket match at DX and Shawn vs Owen at Royal Rumble. The story line with Shawn and Owen practically wrote itself.
Conrad Some Of Your Booking Choices would Have You Loosing Your Own Business It's Crazy How Some Of Us Wrestling Fans Have All The Answers Well If We Do Then Go Promote Your Own Wrestling Business
I'll definitely take Bruce's word that pyro wasn't planned to go off after the casket match, but Kane definitely does the gesture of having his arms stretched out to the sides and dragging them down that he would do in time with the pyro. Meltzer wasn't wrong saying something was a little off in that spot. I notice it every time I see it.
Blind Terry Tucci have I heard more episodes? Yes. I’ve heard plenty. This “OFFICIAL” site has plenty. Bruce is always trying to bury Meltzer. Not sure what putting a T on my back means, but ok.
lmao - If you've heard other episodes, you'll have heard Conrad try to sell merch by saying "you put a T on your back, not in Bruce's name." Bruce Prichard, not Bruce Pritchard.
C McG never heard it. I skip the ads. I've caught the one about the title belts, but I'll look out for it as it must be a hoot. As far as the name correction, ok.
I'm gonna get my wife over with a DOOT DOOT DOOT fanny pack because fanny packs are back in style, man. And I won't put a 't' in his name - I'll put one on my back.
Is this episode edited? When you started talking about the tear gas incident it sounded like you were referencing an observer article mid article "the Little Rock show was worse" then, when you asked Bruce about it after explaining the incident, you refrnced a Little Rock and Memphis show... I'm lost?
I always agree with Bruce when it comes to “FDM”, but there’s no chance that the Kane explosion spot was planned without pyro. You can see him react to the fact that nothing happens. You can also hear people in the crowd laugh...they weren’t going to risk him looking stupid like that when they’re trying to make him look like an evil, unstoppable monster. I don’t believe Bruce, at all. His explanation makes no sense, whatsoever. You were about to have Kane use fire, so you didnt want for him to use fire? The spot was fucked up and he’s just trying to lay into Meltzer more.
I love listening to Bruce... ... but then once in a while... ... I come across an episode like this... ... where he tries everything to crawl up Shawn's ass, glorify him, and defend him against all questions or accusations, even though all evidence and opinions clearly point to the opposite. I mean, godamnit Bruce, we are 20 years later now. Yes, Shawn was one of the best WWE performers of all time - no doubt. I enjoyed watching him wrestle and talk shit when I was young. I just don't understand the why is there a need to still defend his obviously shitty character of the late nineties. Instead it could be so much more interesting to go into the details, why that might have been and what it might have done to the people and environment around him...
because he's got more to lose by being 100% honest. Look at where he has got to by not being transparent and kissing the right asses on this podcast - he got his old job back.
I'd much rather people who were teens in the 90s, such as myself, stand up to WWE revisionism and woke zoomer Meltzer smarks. HBK and Hart sucked and if they weren't so bland and out of date SCSA would have just been taken as a heel. The 83 weeks happens under them and it's not because I thought a boring dude in pink or a wannabe male stripper with ear rings like a chick was cool. But being generous all those guys are C level main eventers. They've done a good job acting like their fake fighting makes them the ultimate pro wrestler which is like saying the really good stunt man is the best action movie actor over say Arnold and Sly.
@@darthbigred22 Hart sucked ? Clearly you didn't grow up in that era. If you wanted someone made, you put him against Bret. If you wanted someone buried, you put them against Shawn
Why Bruce does this Show with Conrad is beyond me, I waiting for Bruce to Choke Him, Bruce do your Podcast with your Real Friend Vince Russo, that would be a GREAT SHOW, BTW, HBK IS THE GOAT, F Dave Meltzer!
Joey Gana Yeah bro let's have Russo bro talk about how great and how ingenius his ideas are, bro. Russo has the face for radio, but definitely not the voice.
Because talking about the show-topic would take away from talking about irrelevant topics like Val Venis and Rodman. They do this all the time, but this is the worst. Only less than 40 minutes on the show? 2 hours of everything but? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
So I have a question Stone cold's Disturbed theme song does WWE own that I mean technically it is Disturbed song if Austin wanted to make interference in another company could he use that song ?
Typically it’s not ownership. They pay rights to the song meaning they can use it however they would like as long as it does not discredit the band in any way. But disturbed still owns it
“Goddamn, pal. What’s it’s gonna take to get you to sign the contract?”...”I’d like to fornicate with Thable first.”...”HA HA! That’s not gonna happen, Mike.”....”Thunny?”...”I’ll make the call, pal.”
I cant say for sure since i wasnt in the promotion,(i wasnt even foocking there) but ive heard a few Bill Watts interview and even tho he said it i dont think he would fire you loosing a fight but if you didnt fight. I remember Bill saying he heard a guy lost a fight and when he came to ask him about it his face was messed up but he didnt have a scratch on his hands so he fired him. If it was just if you lost a fight Bill wouldnt even need to make the comment about the guys hands.
Meltzer is from Cali? I completely understand now! Cali is messed up! I don't even care if you are offended! If you live in Cali, either you know where I am coming from or I am talking about you!
In 1998? No, WCW wasn't shit yet. They were making big mistakes with their main events and the handling of the world championship but the mid-card and lower card stuff was excellent at times. The WCW Cruiserweight division (Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Juventud, Malenko, etc) was white hot, first-class matches every week. The TV title was contested between Booker T, Benoit and Finlay, some great matches. WCW still had the better talent, they just didn't have the storylines or the correct booking for the WCW world title.
Conrad argues the business with Bruce but the problem is that Conrad is arguing his point over what he wanted to see as a fan rather than what would do the biggest numbers I’m a huge fan but that gets to me some times
Anyone else hear the story that Conrad had security called on him at a basketball game because his farts smelled so bad? Everyone near him caught adult onset diabetes.
Chris Terry I’m A HBK fan since The AWA Days, 95 the year in general sucked, the worst year in pro wrestling in both WWF, and WCW, just 95, started with HBK, and BullDog, and ended that way, that was great imo, Shawn is the Goat, that’s a Fact, nobody can touch HBK in the Ring, and he was having the Greatest Matches Of his Life in 95, too bad that year sucked, just 95 is one of my favorite Rumbles, cause of the way it was booked, the Rumble Match, not the whole PPV, 2001 Rumble is Right there too, 2009, THATS just cause I’m a Randy ORTON Fan, And I’m talking The Randy ORTON. That kissed Steph, right in front of Triple H, Today’s Randy needs too turn Heel ASAP, cause being a Face is very Boring, Heels will always draw the Money, but in today’s WWE, they can’t Make New Stars, Example Roman Reigns, 5yrs still not over with the Fans, He COULDNT get over with the Rock next to him at the rumble he won last time in Philly, I was there, and ILL be there next week, When DOLPH ZIGGLER wins the Royal Rumble, THATS been Said by ppl that work in WWE, either ZIGGLER, or Daniel BYRAN, alright gotta get ready to watch the EAGELS beat The Vikings, and go to the SUPERBOWL. #heel4life
No more NYC shows. Bruce ya fin sell out pocket polly in Vincent's pocket. I think he needed you more this time with the shit the product lmao. Hope you're having fun "pal!"
I don't know why, but this was a disappointing to me. I was hoping for this to be about my favorite RR. This seemed like a huge Wrestlemania 14 set up.
Conrad loves the finish? That surprises me, I despise any finish where the ref calls something he hasn't seen. British Invasion beat Team 3D because the ref didn't see who went through the table? Bullshit. AMW beat Team 3D because blinded Earl couldn't see whose shoulders he was counting down? Bullshit. Kevin Nash beating Sid in the powerbomb match because he TOLD the ref he'd powerbombed Sid? Bullshit. The finish here is equally bullshit. The refs will never allow a tag they haven't seen, but here the ref disqualifies for knucks that he didnt see used. Bullshit.
Hope nobody went to the game thinkin they were gonna see Lebron tonight , cus u guys sure did tell people that the Nets were playin the Cavaliers before your show 😂😂😂
On the topic of the riot, wasn't Shawn hit with a double A battery? Not trying to take up for him but honestly most people being surrounded by a crowd of hostile people would probably be hesitate to remain out there. Guys have been stabbed and cut by fans in the past. At some point sending the fans home happy has to go out the fucking window. Also probably would have been better to just do a match in an place like Arkansas. Especially if the card as a whole was lack luster in delivery. Save the heat for more established towns that knows the routine a little better.
Rule No. 1 Never criticize Shawn Michaels Rule No. 2 Never criticize Shawn Michaels Rule No. 3 Never criticize Shawn Michaels Love your show but Bruce Prichard's constant deflection from/minimization of Shawn Michaels' behaviour in the 90s turns a lot of people off. It's repeatedly disappointing.
Darragh Gannon HBK IS THE GOAT, YES HE was a Dick in the 90s, but He is a Completely Different Person Now. HBK was always cool to me, sometimes you gotta be a Jerk in The Wrestling Business.
Robert Johnson Oh, you know HBK personally and heard him whine about it in person and didn't read it on some dirtsheet ran by a giant mark? How awesome.
i would feel sorry for anyone who looses money, but to have $10,000 on your person in your breast pocket just seems pretty irresponsible. Maybe its another world i will never be previe too to need that much money on you, but i just dont see why you need to have that much cash on you unless you are trying to make a statement. but again, when you have money more doors in your life open, so maybe the lifestyle requires you to have 10Gs on your person?
Hard to listen too when u know bruce is a humungus liar.and also the way he protects vince and wwe's wrong doings. Cuz he wanna be back working there making that $$$ and sucking up to Vince and hhh
What's with this guy always looking for racist shit is all to your interpretation of you see it as racist well that's shows where your mind is and where you stand
TheDieHardWWEAddict LOL, I’m not sayin dude is a Genius, he is far from it, but It’s a Fact, He Wrote Raw him, And Vince McMahon, Ed Ferreira later on, but Russo ideas is what got Raw, over Nitro, cause when Bruce, and CORNETTE were writing, we had TL Hopper, Max Moon, Duke The Dumpster, Ron Simmons looking like a Gladiator, That was Bruce’s idea, he admits too it, and still stands by it, and likes it. I Like Bruce, Love this Podcast, If You Haven’t yet, check out, Vince Russo’s Response to What Bruce, And Conrad said about him, and his book, I just think Russo is a easy Target, TNA sucks, it’s Russo’s fault, when the fact is, TNAs best years where-05,06,07,08,09, then Hogan, And Bischoff came in, and it was Nitro 1997 all over again, I think Russo is a Dick Sometimes, Mof, I’d hang out with Bruce Before Russo, but Russo gets a lot of ish he DONT deserve, And He would kick CORNETTES ass, Russo should be at least invited to back stage at Barclays, or Manhattan Center, I mean it was his Creative Ideas That Had Raw Beat Nitro, If Vince McMahon DIDNT have Vince Russo, WWF would not of beaten WCW, at least not that quick, WCW would still be around, If WWF didn’t change it would of been Bad. GODBLESS.
So many of interesting parts of the actual Royal Rumble and they talked about it for two minutes.
11:27....your welcome
Ahhhh leeuuuurve yew... yu-huh.
I love you berry ❤️
My welcome?
You are haha
Doing God’s work
This was the only PPV I personally ever bought.. I was 18 .. Friggin great times in the business!!!
I had one of those boxes that unscrambled PPV and Spice. Loved that thing
Loved this episode. I always tell people the Royal Rumble 98 is my advice on where to start for those wanting to get into the attitude era on the network. Side note, I really hope we get a Saint Valentines Day Massacre episode for February. One of my favorite PPVs of the attitude era for sure.
Eric the Acktor I would say Survivor Series 97 as the place to start the attitude era. I recently started watching the network Two weeks before SS' 97
The best place to start for the attitude era I fill is the raw was before wrestmiana 12 where Bret Hart scream this bullshit but I actually started at 1994 king of the ring which is not a good but I started there because hogan started in wcw the same month but 1994 and 1995 are both bad year for both wcw and wwf
I meant 13
I started from the very first episode of Raw on WWE Network....its been some rough times lol but I'm on Summerslam 1998. Shit is fuckin liiiiiittt
Artie Langes don’t watch may 99 😭
Bruce does the best Vince McMahon impersonation
My brother took me when I was a kid. We sat like 5 rows down from where Tyson was sitting. I remember being like no !!! There jumping on Austin he’s in trouble lol good times
Thanks B&C great knowledge. Conrad your great love when you call Bruce out, or when you allow Bruce to redeem yourself👍great stories always.Bruce big fan keep going can't wait to hear you boys say 3x.......3x podcast champions of the world. Genius baby roll tide and a doot doot doot
The Royal Rumble 1998 match ending was the vision of the future rivalry between The Rock and Austin.
You sound like a fool
@@Superior_uno You're a dick because that actually comes true!!
For those of you that only want to hear them talk about the show itself, it starts around the 2:02:00 mark.
Thank you!
There is nothing more pure than a slice of Americana and that is pro wrestling.
Love the DMX and OutKast instrumentals 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember watching the following years Rumble, 1999, live on PPV with my brother & cousin. I remember seeing The Rock bang Mankind in the head about 683 times with a steel chair and throw him into the electrical circuit boards. I remember seeing Vince eliminate Stone Cold to win the Rumble. I fell asleep in class the next morning, which was a Monday, and got in trouble.
L.O.D. is the best tag team of all time. They win every tag team organiztion they were ever in. They wrestled everywhere. That's how over they were.
I died laughing at the bit with Vince pitching the nugget promo hahahaha
Yeah that was awesome! Loved Owen heeling it up about the nugget comment.
I died laughing at the Evander ear biting spot
I am not a nugget! I'm a black heart! A sole survivor! Woooo!
Here's where you gotta love wrestling fans: Bruce says Vince not Austin changed a finish..."Oh yeah, of course"...but then he says Vince not Shawn changed a finish..."Bullshit, Shawn was a politician."
The stories are mixed up. In Little Rock, it was Hunter that was hit during the promo. They left the ring. When the fans started getting unruly, Shawn came back out and said "Shows over. We will never come back to this hick town." That's when all hell broke loose
Terrible, don't know how anybody could be a Shawn Michael's fan. Great worker, fine. But terrible promo, never drew real money, and was always a crybaby bitch.
Because I was such a boyhood dream marky Mark, it was hard for 13 year old me to not like Shawn during his DX/heel run. Even though I absolutely loved Steve Austin, and knew he was winning at Mania 14, I was bummed when it concluded.
I might even say “leather glove & jacket and braids Shawn might be better than the hairsprayed Shawn from 95-96...
Bruce describing Don King is Bruce describing himself...
My favorite Royal Rumble
31:15 lol. Wish Vince coming up with the Nugget In The Bowl promo could've been caught on video. Would like to have seen that delivered with Vince's voice.
I was there live in San Jose! Shit, my grandparents came along and I’ll never forget sitting behind the entrance and during the casket match at then end the shit got sooooo hot that my grandparents started to get scared hahaha. Great times! I’m 35 years old was 13 back then. San Jose! Great fuckin times in my life
His terry funk and vince are spot on
Paul bearer too
Id much rather hear a bruce that didnt lie for wwe so much. Fuckin hell i see why cornette calls him what he does now
11:30
Thank you, you’re a true hero
HBK's delivery on the Nugget Promo was hilarious. "Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurd" "hopper" ha
Starts at 11:27
Starts at 0
I can tell you for a fact that the Cold Stone/Tyson on Raw was on the 10pm news on tuesday in England. It was that big.
Yes I remember that
It’s Stone Cold buddy not Cold Stone.. this isn’t an ice cream shop 😂
If you remember when the build up to mania 14 was taking place and Austin and Tyson were building up to the PPV one of the commentators called him cold stone so maybe it's a play on that
2:35:40 It is mentioned in the podcast that Tyson himself kept calling him "Cold Stone".
Dizzy ohhh killl em 😮 😯 😲 lol
I was at this event. San Jose california.
Likewise brotha!! I was 13! I say behind the entrance. Great times man
Funkster is on point. Timeless
I wish STWW made a "Worth Mentioning" shirt in the Wrestlemania font or old WWF block lettering. I can't believe it hasnt been made.
2005 should also be in top 5.
Bruce's Jim Cornette/Terry Funk/Vince McMahon impressions are always top notch lol.
Jim cornette sounds absolutely nothing like cornette but it's hilarious. It's a greatly exaggerated much higher pitch version but that's what makes it funny. But as far as an actual impression it sounds nothing like him
This was a great way to bring in the attitude era. Shawn could get away with anything. He is and was Vince's golden goose going back to when he retired Bret Hart at Survivor Series 1997 and made Vince happy. I agree with Conrad they should have done the casket match at DX and Shawn vs Owen at Royal Rumble. The story line with Shawn and Owen practically wrote itself.
@Dante Carroll Shawn benefited from it though
Hitman didn't retire until 99, fyi.
Chainsaw Charlie story 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Seriously remember when Tyson made his appearance her in the uk it made mainstream news bbc and itv
Was a amazing time
They really need to cut out the first 10 minutes of ads in all of these old videos
1:09:00. Conrad sucks. He trys to pry stories out of then air and when Bruce gives him some detail....well all right. Bruce makes the show.
And throws a bitch fit when Bruce doesnt give him the answers he wants.
39:15-45:00
Shawn Michaels-9 Championships-2 jobs!
Fck Shawn Michaels for life!
It's funny when you hear them defend it! Yea! HBK greatest champ ever!??? It's like what? HOW?!?
The power of WWE: Conrad has shit on the "Dusty finish" like most trained by Meltzer...but WWE does it with Rock/Shamrock and it's awesome.
How can you tell it's tear gas from a picture?
Because the smoke is green, there are empty canisters with 'ACME TEAR GAS' written on them and women and children are crying.
He can’t
Shawn didn’t give the euro belt to HHH. He won it using a running body splash! 😜
Pritchard sounded just like Cornette bout the move after move no selling LOVE IT

Why am I not surprised that the Chainsaw Charlie box was Cornette's idea?...
This happened in Memphis as well! DX leaving without wrestling I mean..... I was there. It was such shit!
Couldve had Shawn vs Owen in the Feb PPV if Shawn didn't get injured

Idk about Russo but I agree he should do it with anyone else instead of Conrad. I'd love a weekly Bruce and Cornette show.
Why does conrad like Dave meltzer? Or why does he quote the observer all the time?
It's pretty much the only write ups you had from back then.
Bruce is an Hbk schill. Cringe is an understatement... yikes.
What do you expect? HBK is company royalty and Bruce is/was on and off constantly on the payroll his entire adult life.
HBK is Vince's boytoy and you can tell Bruce still his his lips still on that ass.
Why are they not talking about the ppv?
Because talking about the show-topic would take away from talking about irrelevant topics like Val Venis and Rodman.

I know right like get to the rumble
dont like what you're hearing? dont listen. everyone else enjoys hearing about the build up and everything leading up to the topic.
New drinking game. Take a shot everytime Conrad says the wrong word when reading shit. You'll be fucked up for every show.
I wanted a Farve jersey so bad after this PPV
Matthew O'Day D O double G?
a lot of people in San Jose are Raiders fan too...out numbered by 9ers fan but you got to also include Raiders when you say local team is SF 49ers
LMAO about the "Chat Me Up" shirt!
Found the one guy who would buy that shirt.

Is this not royal rumble 1998? Lol it sounds like wrestlemania 14
37:03 applies perfectly to The Last Jedi as well
Meltzer is from Cali? I completely understand now! Cali is messed up! I don't even care if you are offended! If you live in Cali, either you know where I am coming from or I am talking about you!
Hot Water Manifesto the land of fruits and nuts
Huh I tuned into the WWF for Austin wcw was shit at that time and Austin was white hot and he helped turn the tables...

Conrad argues the business with Bruce but the problem is that Conrad is arguing his point over what he wanted to see as a fan rather than what would do the biggest numbers I’m a huge fan but that gets to me some times
Anyone else hear the story that Conrad had security called on him at a basketball game because his farts smelled so bad? Everyone near him caught adult onset diabetes.
Carver you went back and edited that dud 😂😂😂
Mike The Scott rumor and innuendo
Mike The Scott you missed the joke. Conrad says that all the time.
True story
Carver 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
92 is the Greatest Rumble Ever, then 95
Joey Gana 95 as one of the greatest Rumbles ever? It’s probably the worst ever.
Chris Terry I’m A HBK fan since The AWA Days, 95 the year in general sucked, the worst year in pro wrestling in both WWF, and WCW, just 95, started with HBK, and BullDog, and ended that way, that was great imo, Shawn is the Goat, that’s a Fact, nobody can touch HBK in the Ring, and he was having the Greatest Matches Of his Life in 95, too bad that year sucked, just 95 is one of my favorite Rumbles, cause of the way it was booked, the Rumble Match, not the whole PPV, 2001 Rumble is Right there too, 2009, THATS just cause I’m a Randy ORTON Fan, And I’m talking The Randy ORTON. That kissed Steph, right in front of Triple H, Today’s Randy needs too turn Heel ASAP, cause being a Face is very Boring, Heels will always draw the Money, but in today’s WWE, they can’t Make New Stars, Example Roman Reigns, 5yrs still not over with the Fans, He COULDNT get over with the Rock next to him at the rumble he won last time in Philly,
I was there, and ILL be there next week, When DOLPH ZIGGLER wins the Royal Rumble, THATS been Said by ppl that work in WWE, either ZIGGLER, or Daniel BYRAN, alright gotta get ready to watch the EAGELS beat The Vikings, and go to the SUPERBOWL. #heel4life
Joey Gana yes it was.. The last "REAL" wrestling event in WWE... ALL SCRIPT AFTERWARD
92 rumble
Holy fuck that's a lot of commas.....
I've always preferred Sir Mo, over King Mo
Reaching with the banana stuff. Not a racial joke, but actually an INNUENDO. 😂
First hour had next to nothing to do with the Royal Rumble
1:32:05 I should NOT listen to this at work...I keep holding in my laughs and every once a while one escapes. This one was had me roflmao
Kingly One You’re not allowed to laugh at work? 😂
Whats up with random, odd title changes in Lowell Mass'?
No more NYC shows. Bruce ya fin sell out pocket polly in Vincent's pocket. I think he needed you more this time with the shit the product lmao. Hope you're having fun "pal!"
The ring look like, a boxing ring.. lol..
I agree, I believe NO American journalist.
hahahah @ 2:10:12 we just had packers/49ers in 2022 and the packers lost. oh how some things never change
I don't know why, but this was a disappointing to me. I was hoping for this to be about my favorite RR. This seemed like a huge Wrestlemania 14 set up.
Bret really did screw Bret ya know
Bruce.. I love ya man but covering up for Michaels and the company constantly dosnt sound good brother!!
Conrad loves the finish? That surprises me, I despise any finish where the ref calls something he hasn't seen. British Invasion beat Team 3D because the ref didn't see who went through the table? Bullshit. AMW beat Team 3D because blinded Earl couldn't see whose shoulders he was counting down? Bullshit. Kevin Nash beating Sid in the powerbomb match because he TOLD the ref he'd powerbombed Sid? Bullshit. The finish here is equally bullshit. The refs will never allow a tag they haven't seen, but here the ref disqualifies for knucks that he didnt see used. Bullshit.
Hope nobody went to the game thinkin they were gonna see Lebron tonight , cus u guys sure did tell people that the Nets were playin the Cavaliers before your show 😂😂😂
On the topic of the riot, wasn't Shawn hit with a double A battery? Not trying to take up for him but honestly most people being surrounded by a crowd of hostile people would probably be hesitate to remain out there. Guys have been stabbed and cut by fans in the past. At some point sending the fans home happy has to go out the fucking window. Also probably would have been better to just do a match in an place like Arkansas. Especially if the card as a whole was lack luster in delivery. Save the heat for more established towns that knows the routine a little better.
He got hit with a double a batterie at a different event. It was the one outside in Times Square in New York City.
Rule No. 1 Never criticize Shawn Michaels
Rule No. 2 Never criticize Shawn Michaels
Rule No. 3 Never criticize Shawn Michaels
Love your show but Bruce Prichard's constant deflection from/minimization of Shawn Michaels' behaviour in the 90s turns a lot of people off. It's repeatedly disappointing.
Darragh Gannon HBK IS THE GOAT, YES HE was a Dick in the 90s, but He is a Completely Different Person Now. HBK was always cool to me, sometimes you gotta be a Jerk in The Wrestling Business.
It's no secret how much of dick Shawn was back then
He's a prancing lady boy, not that there is anything wrong with that...
Doesn’t turn me off. It’s well known, so I don’t feel the need to belabor the point
Robert Johnson Oh, you know HBK personally and heard him whine about it in person and didn't read it on some dirtsheet ran by a giant mark? How awesome.
1:30:20
i would feel sorry for anyone who looses money, but to have $10,000 on your person in your breast pocket just seems pretty irresponsible. Maybe its another world i will never be previe too to need that much money on you, but i just dont see why you need to have that much cash on you unless you are trying to make a statement. but again, when you have money more doors in your life open, so maybe the lifestyle requires you to have 10Gs on your person?
Hard to listen too when u know bruce is a humungus liar.and also the way he protects vince and wwe's wrong doings. Cuz he wanna be back working there making that $$$ and sucking up to Vince and hhh
SMFH Always that typical douchebag who thinks he knows more then an actual person in the business who worked backstage for 20 plus years
Hard too read you're response when you're a the true fucking idiot
Chris Ramirez Wow how long did you work for WWE? Oh yeah you never did.So Shut The Fuck Up!!!
Compared to the rest, this was not a good episode.
Keith Roberts
why?
Yeah, why? Back up your claims!
What's with this guy always looking for racist shit is all to your interpretation of you see it as racist well that's shows where your mind is and where you stand
PC culture is about stifling freedom of speech.

#FuckVinceRusso
TheDieHardWWEAddict LOL, I’m not sayin dude is a Genius, he is far from it, but It’s a Fact, He Wrote Raw him, And Vince McMahon, Ed Ferreira later on, but Russo ideas is what got Raw, over Nitro, cause when Bruce, and CORNETTE were writing, we had TL Hopper, Max Moon, Duke The Dumpster, Ron Simmons looking like a Gladiator, That was Bruce’s idea, he admits too it, and still stands by it, and likes it. I Like Bruce, Love this Podcast, If You Haven’t yet, check out, Vince Russo’s Response to What Bruce, And Conrad said about him, and his book, I just think Russo is a easy Target, TNA sucks, it’s Russo’s fault, when the fact is, TNAs best years where-05,06,07,08,09, then Hogan, And Bischoff came in, and it was Nitro 1997 all over again, I think Russo is a Dick Sometimes, Mof, I’d hang out with Bruce Before Russo, but Russo gets a lot of ish he DONT deserve, And He would kick CORNETTES ass, Russo should be at least invited to back stage at Barclays, or Manhattan Center, I mean it was his Creative Ideas That Had Raw Beat Nitro, If Vince McMahon DIDNT have Vince Russo, WWF would not of beaten WCW, at least not that quick, WCW would still be around, If WWF didn’t change it would of been Bad. GODBLESS.
Joey Gana fuck Russo and Ferrara
S
Bruce feels that if your not a taxpayer and on welfare you should not be able to vote. Even if your an american citizen
Correct
I agree
Not a bad idea. Bernie Sanders would never have a chance in hell cause that's 90% of his fanbase. Good job, Bruce.
Agree
He also feels very strongly about proper grammar.
