I finally finished the Montreal stuff in its entirety today. Tremendous work, though they should have skipped that nonsense with the Lapsed Vince interview right before the final segment.

"One for the road." so...awful? idk even know how to describe it. This is especially awful if you've read his book. He was drowning in pussy in every town he went to and had actual relationships with women in other countries in addition to sleeping with any woman anywhere. Why he'd need Julie...just gross.

LKJ, I listen for the comedy and I loved the ending so boo to you. Hearing Patterson say something like "****! that mother****er did this" is just so funny because I don't think Lapsed Pat had ever swore before that.

Jack told the story of how he got to conduct that interview in the episode that came out this morning. Pretty ****ing funny.

This. It made me a have a physical reaction. I felt gross.

Bret knew that she had abandonment issues and he used that to exert power over her and **** her one more time just to prove to himself that he could.

Just a despicable thing.

Comedy is certainly part of the draw for me too, and I often like the Lapsed Vince stuff, but I just thought that segment was cringey. I kept wondering if I should just fast-forward it, but ended up listening to the whole thing.

Bret did come off absolutely horribly in those readings from Julie's book.

The early segment in the following episode about how Jack got that quick interview with Bret is indeed pretty damn hilarious.

I listen for the comedy as well, but after 145689 hours of material on Montreal, the 30 minutes of Lapsed Vince was complete overkill. I think the bigger crime wth this though was putting the Bret interview after it. Had I not known that it was there, I probably would have just stopped listening a couple minutes into the Vince stuff and never heard Bret

I agree with the Bret part. They could've just made the episode with that at the end and make the "This American Work" a separate episode or just put it on YT like the other Work eps.

Can anyone recommend any other good wrestling podcasts that involve comedy? I've listened to 4 or 5 eps of Something To Wrestle but think it's pretty meh.

If you are a MST3K fan, I highly recommend What Happened When with Tony Schiavone. It’s a clone of Something to Wrestle for NWA/WCW, but lately they have been watching old PPVs and Schiavone has been giving alternate commentary. It’s really funny

aww ty for that. I do seem to recall seeing that on my recommended on YT and listening to the Warrior/Hogan match from Halloween Havoc 98 and Tony was funny. I'll give that a listen tonight. No idea what MST3K is tho.

Mystery science theater 3000

ty. This podcast is great. I've listened to HH 95 and Wargames 2000 which were both hilarious. True story: I had no idea that Wargames 2000 occured on Nitro instead of a ppv.

The only thing I don't like is the constant **** talking of Bobby

Not gonna lie, the 95 Halloween Havoc episode was probably the funniest one they did, but the reviews I’m seeing on Twitter about this week’s on Starrcade 91 seem to be really good too.

Also, any time Tony’s wife, Lois does a run in, it’s gold.

I'm around 2/3 through this Cade 91 show. Funny to hear it described as the worst WCW ppv of all time and even worse than Souled Out 1997. Funny because my mom had offered to take me to that show in Norfolk from our home in Worcester, MA because I was born in Norfolk and had fam there. I declined in favor of gifts but I did get this live on ppv instead. I remember enjoying it but I only remember Sting/Abby teaming and Sting winning but I was 11 and Sting was my hero at the time.

I’ll go to my grave saying that Great American Bash from 91 is worse than Starrcade, but yeah, it’s really bad. And I’m really looking forward to hearing how they treat it

I don't ever quite understand why Jack on TLF is so convinced that saying "that ****ING cast" is such a great gimmick. I don't even think it's particularly bad or anything, but it definitely causes this reaction in me every time.

Tony released Starrcade 99 this week. It'd be quite the contrast to listen to the deep dive of this and then Tony's show. Not that Tony thinks it's great but ehhhhh. JP always ****s on Evan Courageous and Tony did the exact same thing which I found hilarious. I've never even seen the guy before because I was so far gone from WCW by that time. idk what's so bad about him. idc to find out though. Tony's show is great. Haven't listened to Bruce's since Charchi introduced me to this one

LKJ, I feel that way when Jack says "we're going to belly up to the bar". Not bad and only said a handful of times but lol

Jack and JP have great chemistry and both play their own role very well, and I'm very thankful to both for that reason - I probably wouldn't be a fan if their personalities were too similar regardless of which side - but Jack comes off as pretty easily the less funny of the two. That said, he still singlehandedly caused me one of my longest-ever TLF laughs when he talked about earnestly telling his high school friends, who brought the "wrestling is so ****ing fake" talk, "No, man, didn't you hear? They changed it. It was fake, but it's all real now." The concept of wrestlers going from pretending to fight to suddenly trying to murder each other on live TV one day is just too funny to me.

I don't remember the episode but I remember that moment. That was pretty ****ing funny.

I do agree wrt JP being funnier. I know JP's an actor but he's also a comedian which helps.

That’s not the first time Tony has **** on Evan Courageous. He really doesn’t like him

Listening to the latest episode with Prichard about Goldust. After reading all of the write-ups from LKJ in the MNW thread, it's hilarious to hear him defend Goldust's matches as not being bad and being just a work in progress. It's Gold(ust).

"Work in progress," he must be talking about those early matches where Goldust spent half the ****ing match outside the ring posturing. So brutal.

I've only listened from his debut at a dark RAW through when Marlena debuted. The majority of tv matches seem to be covered and he said that after six months Vince never lost confidence and thought he was coming along fine.

Apparently his first finisher was the dreaded heart punch. That was never on tv, right? Bruce says this comes about because Vince, Dustin, and Taker have a meeting and Taker says the move gets heat and can be done to anyone.

This week on his podcast, they did a watch along for the Rumble ‘88. About halfway through the match Conrad asked Bruce why there was no Martel on the show. He either didn’t answer or I forget the answer, but what he did say that he got the above story wrong when he told it. It wasn’t Martel that they forgot to eliminate, it was Bret Hart. I don’t know if it matters, I just found that amusong

Bruce is so full of crap so frequently you can't take anything he says seriously.

It's so weird to me how much some of their fans like their show. Like, people really buy fanny packs that say "doot doot doot," and/or their million tee shirt variants that are all universally awful.

Schiavone is infinitely better than Bruce. Even Tony has his annoying ticks but he seems like a real guy who's not holding things back. Bruce seems like he's shilling or a corporate stooge or idk...he reeks of liar or carny. That being said, I still listen to Bruce because there's only so many times I can listen through the lapsed archive.

I'm wading into the TLF Starrcade tour.

These guys are way too hard on Bob Caudle.
