02.06.12 – Dueling Reactions

Join hosts Kevin and Young John for a very “divisive” edition of the web’s only Punk Rock ‘n Wrestling podcast. This week’s topic is wrestlers who have figuratively split audiences in two. First, hear the guys talk about Hulk Hogan’s place as both the top heel AND top babyface in TNA – and why this could be helpful to the Impact product. Then, the discussion turns again to internet darling, Daniel Bryan. Find out why a seemingly innocuous line uttered by Michael Cole might signal a brighter future for the former “American Dragon.” A can’t-miss feud with John Cena might not be so far off!

Musically speaking, you’ll dig into tracks from Go to the Police, the long out-of-print (and only) recording from U.K. power pop act, The Toys. PLUS: music from Mat Minutiae’s Mike Bessler and BSH’s own Kevin McElvaney. Yes, you read that right!

Top Three Stories

3. The Barber Suing Hulk’s Ex Wife
Ed Leslie told TMZ he was planning on suing Linda Bollea over her remarks, saying that a little birdie told her that he and Hulk Hogan had a gay relationship. He said the papers are being drafted and will be filed shortly.  Leslie noted that he’s known Linda for almost 40 years (actually less than 30…).
NewsWire Flash-Commentary:
The remarks DID seem a little out there, and harsh if nothing else.

2. Asylum (ECW) Arena in South Philly to Close its Doors After All
The rumors turned out to be true. There is a change of management at the Asylum Arena. As of right now, the final wrestling events booked will be double-header on January 14th with EVOVLE and CZW.  Truly the end of an era.
NewsWire Flash-Commentary:
I’ve covered MANY events there over the years, and the place was a dump. But it was OUR (the fans’) dump :(

1. CM Punk Takes Much-Deserved Pipe Bomb, Superstar of the Year Awards on WWE Slammy edition of Raw
Other recipients included: Jim Ross dancing (Tell Me I Did Not Just See That) … Mark Henry, Big Show Break the Ring (Holy **** Moment of the Year) … Kelly Kelly wins the Diva’s title  on Raw (Divalicious Moment) … The Undertaker kicks out of Triple-H’s tombstone piledriver at WrestleMania (OMG Moment) … Zack Ryder (Twitter Trending Star, as voted by the fans) … and The Rock challenges John Cena for WM28 (Game Changing Moment).
NewsWire Flash-Commentary:
Glad to see Punk get this recognition, but a lot of these awards were either meaningless or way too similar.

It has been the story of the week so far.I did some thoughts/predictions beforehand so it only seems fair to see if I was right and give out praise and scorn accordingly. continue reading…

The title of this article should not come as a shock to anyone who has been paying attention to The Hulkster for the past several years. His public appearances have been rife with contradictions. His demeanor has become more unpredictable, and even he has admitted that another appearance in a wrestling match would be out of the question. And yet, here he is, about to headline another pay-per-view (TNA’s Bound for Glory) this evening. I’ll be in attendance, with my cringe face at the ready.

It gets more ridiculous, though, than Hulk’s continued attempts to cash in on his own legacy “one last time.” Hogan, obviously fed up with the environment of TNA, has resorted to trying to start a program with – who else? – the leader of the free world. Incensed by Obama’s use of Rick Derringer’s “Real American” at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Hogan has renounced his previous, meaningless endorsement of the President. For those who’ve never seen Obama’s “Real American” entrance video, check it out below:

“I kinda was a little upset that he didn’t ask me permission to use my music,” Hogan said on a recent edition of the popular morning show, Fox & Friends. continue reading…

So after some post Conclave down time I have returned to give my thoughts on the world of wrestling. First up is TNA’s Bound For Glory PPV this Sunday. This PPV is supposedly the biggest of the year, the culmination, their answer to WrestleMania. Well last years was rubbish and this one doesn’t look like it will be any better and if anything shows just how bad things in TNA are right now. continue reading…

This week IN THE ROOM, Brady Hicks, DJ, and Anthony Sarlo take a look at the past week in wrestling, including the release of Chavo Guerrero, more thoughts on Warrior/Hogan and TNA/Impact’s Bound for Glory and Destination-X tournaments, and the ROH and WSU i-ppvs. Thanks for the support!

This week, Brady Hicks, DJ, and Anthony Sarlo are joined IN THE ROOM by a very special guest: former WWE and ECW star AL SNOW! Take it all in as the former WWE star (and current TNA agent) plugs his upcoming Mondo Wrestling A Go Go show at the Danny Davis Arena in Louisville, Kentucky, 6/24 and 6/25. Plus, check out Al’s thoughts on WWE and TNA renaming their product, what wrestling needs to be big once again, and how the developmental system could be and should be fixed. A must listen for fans of any wrestling promotion!

I’ve said it so many times that I’ve become predictable, but it bears re-mentioning: You always want to see the good guys succeed. Austin Aries is one of the good guys. Whether his actions in the ring make you want to proudly pat him on the back or try throw your chair through his skull (I’ve seen both), “A-Double” is one of the most genuine and honest guys you will ever meet, inside – or outside – the ring. That’s why I’m really hoping this new opportunity to wrestle on Impact heading into the Destination-X pay-per-view next month will be so much more than a one-time comeback or a final goodbye.
