Triple Haitch doing the home invasion on Randy Boreton was awesome and probably the only memorable thing Hunter had done sine the Attitude era. Then they had the Wrestlemania match and put everybody to sleep.
Would be really cool to see Austin at this Wrestlemania - feel like he's been very quiet this past year, haven't really seen any interviews or anything like that.
Jim Ross' ass got chapped when Punk was mentioned. All he did was clear his name after being slandered for years and people are like "wHaTeVeR mOvE oN"...
Towing the AEW company line and not wanting to touch the topic with a 10 foot pole, be it out of company loyalty or fear of getting on the bad side of the owner or both, much like Schiavone.
Reference to 1:10:24 mark. The Cena/Edge/Big Show triple threat was a great match. I really liked the big show and vicky chemistry. It just cracked me up that vicky chose big show over edge. Disagree with Meltzer on this one. I enjoyed it.
Wow I didn't think about it either, but it has been 15 years ago, 10 years since the Streak was broken which I still hate, And 20 years since the Deadman returned from biker gimmick.
Conrad said a few times Triple h-Orton was still most watched wwe you tube clip, Im pretty sure Cm Punks return last year surpassed it, even wwe acknowledged that in a seperate youtube video
Jim is older I forgive him not remembering details from 15 years ago but saying Taz was so new rlto say the least he started doing commentary during the invasion angle and then was the guy with Michael Cole on smackdown until ecw reboot started and he had been there it's entire run with Joey Styles
If you like a video game style finisher no sell crap fes were the winner is already known before the bell ringst, i guess it is. But considering Hart - Austin, Steamboat - Savage and HKB - Angle exist, it obviously isn't if you prefer actual pro wrestling.
Conrad keeps bringing up "what if someone gets hurt Sat night at Mania" looks like he got the same script copy I read where Cody gets hurt and Rock stops the beatdown from going too far, and we end up with Rock vs Roman on night 2
@@Rschr101 I dont think anyone will actually get hurt, I just see that as the way they get Cody out of the night 2 match w/o hurting his character and get Rock in back as a fan favorite vs heel Roman.
@@DGFJR123 True, i could see a fake injury going down. But I think best way to protect Cody without burying Roman is to have Cody win the tag match and have Rock cost him the title the next night. Roman then beats Hogans record which they are hellbent on doing for some reason...Rock will leave and they will build to Cody/Rock at Summerslam.
RIP Test. Not that he didnt have his demons, but Test was also a victim of HHH's politics. Hunter shot down Test being a member of DX in his debut. Hunter also nixed a feud with Test over Stephanie...JR saying Test could have been a bigger star.. yea JR, had it not been for Triple H. Hunter was always threatened by the younger, more athletic talent. Im sure Test terrified him. Dont underestimate HHHs ego. Crushed alot of careers, and lives.
Let's just move on, what about cm punk , let's just move on it's all negative stuff. Hey Jr what about ultimate warrior, oh warrior well he was a selfish untalented ahole.
Agreed, thought he did great, and so did everyone else since wrestled next nite and month too.. When he read daves review it shows why star ratings dont work in wrestling. You're saying if a crowd loves it, fans happy, reactions across board, well it loses a star cause move a and b were missed, etc. Its way too objective an artform to rate like that, its about the story told, All for saying his opinion why liked/disliked a match, just too much personal bias in reviews that he doesnt acknowledge . He didnt even consider rock-hulk a 5 star match, even Cornette said its a 5 star match and the definition of the art of wrestling on the ride it took you on.
Jr wanted to say the Bruce line there but he refrained. Undertaker and Shawn Michaels it would been 5 stars in the Tokyo dome !! that's why meltzer ratings system will always be the damn drizzling shits then now forever we say it together #FDM !!
@@bobbyjohnson9409 cause I said as far as I’M concerned! As in my Opinion, from my perspective, based on what I’ve seen and the information I have, clear enough for ya? Seems like you missed that part lmao!
When discussing Austin doing a match and Steve being particular, wouldnt the obvious question be, then and for Conrad to ask if said, Steve, who would you want to work with? If need to build up for next Mania, then do that, but idk, seems like Jim doesnt wanna say, Steve would refuse period, no matter what. I can believe Austin would be specific and want it done right, still find it hard to believe Vince wouldnt accommodate getting Austin in another match with anyone he chose or how wish it to be laid out. Unless Austin demanded the main event the way Jim was dancing around hes not just another guy on the card. Idk, just hate the non specifc answers always given, lets talk vague and around the bush, hint a bit, then get mad at people who read into my non answers.
Good ole Jr keep toting that line of not criticizing WWE in any way, don't wanna burn a bridge if WWE calls him up to fumble his way thru another WM match. Ronda Rousey might be bitter and trying to sell books but the fact that Vince, Johnny ace and Bruce prichard are scumbags is pretty much undeniable at this point.
@@MikeyP1983 its not just wrestling. Its Jims outlook on what took place and his life. He followed sports because one of his main jobs was recruiting new talent. And he was in contact with college coaches because of the potential for WWE talent. Did you not hear how he found John Cena? A lot of people in WWE have a sports background. Including football.

Punk has done a phenomenal job of making himself look like a fool over the last 10 years. But he has his fans. Whatever floats your boat I guess. I think he's trash.

Hey Jr maybe if you took AEW and Cowboy out of your mouth you wouldn’t be coughing so much. Try and wait till Conrad is done talking before you keep interrupting him.
Im like Jim how much can you keep beating a dead horse. We have heard the controversial topics. The PC police keep on and on, look we don't know all the facts. The timing is ill very interesting when two companies merge then all that comes out. I smell more than the topic.. Get the negative off man cause we have heard it for months.
The time to have Kid Rock perform at a Wrestlemania would have been a decade earlier when he was actually over and relevant. The only people listening to him in 2010 would have been the people at the karaoke bar when a drunk couple is singing "Picture"
Thank you Jim for loving wrestling the way that you do. Get well soon. You are the best 👊🏿❤️
Thank you for such special podcasts
Great hearing my childhood discussed loved the episode
I’m from the Uk and Conrad’s voice is captivating for my ears. I could shut my eyes and listen to these 2 for days
1:35:00 is when they actually start talking about Wrestlemania
Love the show thanks men
Triple Haitch doing the home invasion on Randy Boreton was awesome and probably the only memorable thing Hunter had done sine the Attitude era. Then they had the Wrestlemania match and put everybody to sleep.
The wrestler was a great movie. It was the best wrestling movie I have seen in my life…….
😂
Considering all other wrestling movies are total crap, this isn't really surprising
I stopped watching wrestling sometime after wrestlemania 21. I watched this match for the first time last year and was amazed. (HBK vs Undertaker)
I can't believe they left out the build up with shawn and undertaker. One of the best build ups ever and they swept it under the rug
The build up to WM26 (Shawn's retirement) seemed better.
I know. I remember the darkness vs the light. It was like one came from Heaven and one came from Hell ,
Wishing Conrad would stop mentioning the WON star ratings for each match, as if to imply that they actually mean something.
To him they do🤣🤣
I actually agree with Conrad ,in a way a botch can add more realism to a match even tho The Undertaker vs Shawn was very easy to get lost in anyways
Mary Tyler Moore l too close for comfort Ted knight play both them TV show
Would be really cool to see Austin at this Wrestlemania - feel like he's been very quiet this past year, haven't really seen any interviews or anything like that.
Ricky steamboat was awesome late 50 to early 60s
History lesson besides Caddyshack Ted Knight was also on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Too Close For Comfort
Jim Ross' ass got chapped when Punk was mentioned. All he did was clear his name after being slandered for years and people are like "wHaTeVeR mOvE oN"...
Clear his name?😂 give it time, Punk will implode again.
How did he get his ass chapped over Punk being mentioned? He had the same response that he did when Vince was brought up a few minutes earlier.

I hate so much hearing “and Meltzer would say” 😓😓
HBK/Taker WM 25 is the greatest WrestleMania match of all-time.
If you like a video game style finisher no sell crap fes were the winner is already known before the bell ringst, i guess it is. But considering Hart - Austin, Steamboat - Savage and HKB - Angle exist, it obviously isn't if you prefer actual pro wrestling.
Austin vs Hart said hold my beer
@@suitedandbooted363 HBK/Taker is much better and more epic.
@@GrayRedRoom disagree. You obviously never watches wrestling in 97 to appreciate the match.

I'd be more worried about Rocky getting hurt. He's carrying the whole company on his back at this point. Once he's gone, so are most of the new fans.

100%
Steamboat for a guy in his 50s at the time who hadn't had a match in 16 years, i thought he looked great.
Austin did well too. Shame he wasted a comeback on hat fat slob Owens.
