I like those podcasts too including both of Cornette's podcasts and some of the ones hosted by Conrad (although some of those have fallen off recently with all the ads and shit).
THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
Lolz I'm not going to discount people who watch and comment on their podcasts, but this is why I always take the opinions of wrestlers or wrestling personalities who have podcasts, like Disco and Konnan, more seriously, than dudes who watch and comment.
Shits like ESPN some times, if you didn't play the sport, your opinion is damn near worthless when compared to some one who actually put in that work in the ring, on the court or on the field.
Agreed. Gotta love podcasts. Always have a playlist lined up of stuff to listen to.
Got my 1st Ipod Touch back in the summer of 2009.
Thought for sure I'd always have it packed full of music. Did for awhile.
Didn't realize for the many years to follow it would be 95% podcasts, 5% music, lol.
I never got the argument that you have to be an expert in a field to give an opinion on something. Do I have to be Chef Ramsay to know that a steak isn't cooked right? Do I have to be Peyton Manning to know if a quarterback missed a wide open receiver? Do I have to be Steven Spielberg to know if a movie has pacing and plot hole issues? Once you've experienced and observed something over and over again you tend to form a understanding of how things work. Doesn't require you to be an expert. You know because you observe and understand. Hell, if I wanted to I could start a wrestling podcast but I'm not too particularly interested in that.
Yeah, it was way too soon. Let Kai and Sky run with them for awhile and establish them. Also Bianca shouldn't be dropping the belt until at least Royal Rumble next year.
Haven't watched in a minute but I don't get Sky and Kai. Never understood why they were so over with some people. Nothing really impressed me with either. They literally could be basic AEW women's talent, from what I've seen.
Asuka (and by proxy Alexa) > Kai/Sky.
You don't have to be an expert in a field, but it does give you credibility. Otherwise you just come off as a fan.
Just because I like eating out, that doesn't make me a food critic. Again, it's about credibility.
Yes, anyone is allowed to have an opinion. At the same time people are allowed to attack your opinion especially if you lack credibility.
Watching hours of wrestling every week doesn't automatically make someone's opinion credible.
I get HHH wants to push his NXT projects, but some of these folks like them and Johnny Garganto are just boring to me.
They do absolutely nothing for me.
As I said in a previous post all the credibility you need is being a paying customer. At the end of the day I'm paying for a product so if that peoduct doesn't meet my standards you lose my business. So my opinion as a paying customer has value and that therefore that gives me credibility. Without customers you have no restaurant, no sports, no TV show.
No.
I'm a filmmaker. I'm not letting some dummy who bought a ticket to my movie try to explain film or color theory to me if they have no clue how to block a scene or light a shot.
Wrestling podcasts hosted by non wrestlers is basically Monday Morning Quarterbacking….. it can be entertaining but I’ll take an experienced (in the ring/business) talent’s thoughts over someone who watches it.

You don't need to know the aspects of how to light a scene if the end result is the scene was too dark. The customer can see that with the wrong damn eyes. It's common sense. And on a larger scope if you make a bad film the customer won't see your next film. People carry on like this is medical science or something it's not. If my mashed potatoes have too much salt in it don't make it with too much salt next time. It's that simple. And I don't need to be Chef Ramsay to tell you that.
I don't look at it as a "either Or" type of thing. The wrestlers have value in their opinion because they can offer you a behind the scenes look at the business. The customers have a value in their opinion because they're the paying customer.
You absolutely do, if there is a certain mood or feeling a filmmaker is trying to convey.
Using the whole "it's too dark" argument in a scene where the director is trying to create a sense of claustrophobia or uneasiness, shows the ignorance of the audience trying to tell a director how to make his film.
Latest on potential legal action between CM Punk and AEW's The Elite, Punk to never wrestle again?
Following the AEW All Out brawl between CM Punk, Ace Steel, and The Elite, everyone involved had stayed quiet due to an investigation into the situation. It appears the investigation is over as more details have come out in the last week, and The Elite was backstage at last Wednesday’s Dynamite...

The "it's too dark" argument wouldn't be used in a vacuum though. It would be used in relation to what's going on in the scene. If I'm filming an action sequence and the lighting is too dark for me to know what's going on in the scene then the "it's too dark" criticism logically applies.
This is literally the criticism that "Game Of Thrones" received in their White Walker battle against the people of the North. As a viewer we waited what would seem like forever for the final showdown of the White walkers against the people of the North and when we finally got it it was filmed so dark you couldn't make out half of what was going on.
Was it the director's right to film it that way? Sure he wanted to make it the way he wanted to make it however that doesn't mean it's gonna be well received. I'm no filmmaker but I can understand whether or not something logically makes sense.
Io Shirai (Sky) is a superior worker. One of the best in ring talents in the business. Loved her work in Stardom and NXT. Dakota Kai on the other hand is whatever. Never cared for her.
Why are we already doing a rematch?
