I would've respected you more if you asked JR about the Lita podcast.
Wait, no I wouldn't.

I'm seriously considering calling in. What would you like me to ask the creepy, bitter old bastage?

I'm seriously considering calling in. What would you like me to ask the creepy, bitter old bastage? I admit I haven't listened to the last podcast. But are you confusing Cornette and JR? Haha. Cornette is the one that thinks all the business needs is to run 70's Memphis angles and you draw a 62 share. When I heard JR talking about the "rules and time limits" thing, I took it as splash that into the current product.

Just as a recent example, didn't JR completely downplay and say he didn't understand how the kids segment to open RAW progressed any storylines?
I think "Bitter" is the perfect word for him. And he may very well be right to feel that way after being pushed out by Vince.
I do happen to agree with him on several things.
He just never sounds happy and seems to lack any semblence of a personality.
I'm not sure I've ever heard him laugh or even seen him smile.

He can't smile because of bells palsy. Seriously. He can't move his face.

Ok, I'll give him a pass on that one.

I love JR the wrestling broadcaster. Hands down best. JR the talk show host continues to suck. Drop In is the biggest JR apologist I know JR also acts like he's brilliant and can see things others can't. He actually tried to say "he gets RestauRant Impossible more than others because he's been in TV for 25 years. He gets when they will bring on the builder and interior designer." He "gets the format." Anyone that has watched the show more than once gets the format, Good God. I roll my eyes constantly at JR. And He repeats himself every week. He has good guests which is one reason to continue to listen. He's like the ESPN radio of wrestling podcasts. I disagree with a ton of Cornette's thoughts but at least he is entertaining.

JR isn't bitter at WWE. But he does talk down to his audience constantly and has a very bitter attitude at marks. I get it, but it makes for horrible radio.

I haven't listened in about a month.
Sounds like that was a good plan.

Which pisses me off that he and Jarrett haven't spoke to each other in 15 years.

I objectively listened to the first twenty of Ross/Cornette. Cornette's not on yet. I haven't heard a thing that I disagree with right now.

I agree with many, many, many things that Ross says and believes in but there's still no way that he's not bitter.
He was forced out by Vince/The E, and he brings it up ALL the time.

Ok question: Who is most serious and tortured sounding?
1. Bret Hart 2. Jim Ross 3. Jim Cornette 4. Kevin Nash 5. Other

Ok question: Who is most serious and tortured sounding? 1. Bret Hart 2. Jim Ross 3. Jim Cornette 4. Kevin Nash 5. Other I wouldn't include Nash. But the top-3 are pretty good. But when I think of bitter, grumpy, etc. I think of someone who's just shitting on everything for the hell of it. I'm certain he harbors resentment towards JR. I swear JR resembles someone in Vince's past, and used him to take out his revenge. Fired three times, "Kiss-My-Ass" club, the "Head Up Your Ass" bit when he almost died, and kicking him off RAW live on the air just to name a few. Cornette was much easier to deal with on JR's podcast. He's been the definition of the bitter, grumpy ex-employee. Bert is just a troubled guy. All of the comments about him thinking of himself as a superhero seem on. But as I've said before, I'm stunned there aren't more Hart Family members that are serial killers. I'll take bitter over getting screwed out of your title and a career ending concussion.

The energy seems to have picked up a bit, but it's pretty much the same. JR is my guy, but this podcast needs serious work. He jokes about the location in Oklahoma. I think he needs people around and energy. The Lita interview sounded like a sixty-year old guy in his recliner trying to get phone sex. I don't need screaming JR. I get that in the first five seconds of every show, which is five times louder than the show. But sitting by yourself in a converted Oklahoma gas station can't be great for business.

JR is outstanding. So good when not speaking to 90's Divas or sitting in an Oklahoma garage.

That's a fair question in THIS thread. Because even I have cringed and put myself on record. But his overall view of the business would be an asset to any company. Hell, I told him on Twitter I picked up one thing tonight that I'll use in a non-wrestling scenario. Just business.

JR apparently has some big scoop from Shawn Michaels regarding WrestleMania 30, specifically the Lesnar-Undertaker match.
The HBK episode drops tomorrow night.

Colt Cabana's podcast with Roadkill was legit depressing. Roadkill is bitter about the business and I'm not sure why. I've never looked at the guy and thought twice about him. He's just a guy. He basically has no job now and sells shit on eBay.

Nothing really Earth shattering. Shawn said they didn't have the finish of the Taker match until 4 hours beforehand.
