In this week’s episode I have an easy job as I take a look back at the WWE King of The Ring tournament from last night. I recap the hour long show and throw out some reactions. So if you haven’t seen the show yet and don’t want to have it spoiled, go watch it before listening to this.
This is pretty much the only response I have to the Vince/Austin podcast that hasn’t really been said by anyone else yet. It’s my response to Vince’s claim that the guys in the back aren’t willing to push the envelope anymore and while I agree that it’s true, I’m honestly not surprised they don’t.
This week, the crew give their SummerSlam predictions. We go in depth into Alberto Del Rio’s firing. We talk more about the TNA/Spike negotiations. We plug the recent Jim Cornette interview. G rants about the very limited WWE Network in Canada while Joe plugs the value of the Network in the United States. All this and much more on BoredWrestlingFan Radio!
This week, Jorge and Mark return from their honeymoon time off, and Cleveland Browns TE Gary Barnidge returns to the show to give his picks for tonight’s Elimination Chamber Pay Per View. We go over some talking points about the recent WWE Investors conference call, including a note on CM Punk’s whereabouts. We discuss the WWE Network’s impending launch and go in depth about Dish Network’s decision not to carry tonight’s WWE event and the effects it will have on the WWE going forward. TNA and ROH news pops up, including news on an upcoming “invasion” of ROH by New Japan Pro Wrestling. All this, and much, much more on BWF Radio Episode 114!
Mark and Jorge both miss the show, leaving Joe, JT, and G to fill two hours on this week’s show all on their own. We talk about wrestling television for the week, attempt to STUMP J.T. with Olympic themed questions, and hear the best Sheik Tweets for the week. In the news, we hear Ric Flair’s thoughts on internet fans. Ken Shamrock is begging for work on Twitter. We find out the whereabouts of Kenny King, as well as those of Cesaro’s first name. What WWE Hall of Famer is scheduled to be in Milwaukee just days before RAW in Green Bay on February 24th? We discuss the impending launch of the WWE Network next Monday in depth. All this, and much more! Tune in!
WARNING; THE FOLLOWING POST CONTAINS MATHS and will most likely be boring. I’m getting tired of people saying that the E might lose money with the network so I’m here to do some maths for y’all. (more…)
