Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard


Recommended Posts

I'm the same. I wasn't into Conrad from the Flair show and thought he was a dick honestly. I've come around on him. I've said it before, hearing Prichard's perspective on things (not saying there isn't bullshiting) outweighs any negatives Conrad brings to the show.

 

In the end, I agree, and that's why I keep listening. I love the eras they're discussing. I am learning stuff. And sometimes they make me laugh. I'll put up with some annoyance now and then, as long as I have this thread to vent into. <_>

 

 

I am part way into the Sunny episode. I had half-considered buying her book. But the passages Conrad is reading aloud have put me right off of the purchase.

Conrad has say he legit puts in 4-5 hours each week of research for each topic. I think his questions are solid and his followups show a general understanding of everything. I think he's a fantastic non-wrestler host and enjoy when he calls out obvious BS from Bruce.

 

And he has great chemistry with Tony Schiavone.

Just to add another perspective -- Conrad undoubtedly inquires about pay and money, and perhaps brings it up in some regard every week, but its hardly something he's harping on for the entire show. The point is raised, there's a back & forth and then its on with the topic.

 

It's actually become kind of a running joke/bit, hasn't it? Same with "Was that a rib".

Honestly, I'm surprised Conrad didn't bring up Mantaur just so he can do his whole "was that a rib?" schtick. Unlike a lot of the times where Conrad has done the rib schtick, this actually did kinda feel like a rib, since you have ultra serious Jim Cornette, who hates gimmickry in his wrestling, managing a dude wearing a giant buffalo head, and since this was supposed to be about Cornette in the WWF, when else would they bring that up.

The same people comment each week that they hate the show and it's a hard listen. It's a given at this point.

Do you disagree?

I love the show. One of my favorite podcasts. I just find it puzzling that the same people bash it every week yet continue to listen. Must love punishment

Have you noticed a change in the presentation over time? It's become a lot more schtick, box of gimmicks etc and a lot less insightful as time has gone on.

I wish there was simple adware free place where all of the newsworthy/interesting bits from Prichard/Tony/Jericho/Ross/Bischoff/etc.'s podcasts could just posted quickly by someone in quick list form. I don't have hours and hours to listen to this stuff but I'd be curious if we learned something new about a production meeting Bischoff had with Tony about Glacier or something (I don't know). I could absolutely see people try to listen to something like Bruce's show for new information and not necessarily entertainment.
