Bowling Shoe Handsome – Dueling Reactions


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!

Plus, Mike, John, and Kevin talk about the future of Mat Minutiae, THE Brady Hicks, and the 100th episode anniversary of NXT. All this, along with music from Red Tape Parade, Hold Tight, Jack’s Smirking Revenge, and Red & Orange. Check it out!

12.19.11 – Attitude, The One You Got

This is it, folks: the web’s 147th most popular podcast with “Bowling Shoe” in the title, and the number one “Bowling Shoe” monikered podcast ON THIS ENTIRE NETWORK!

Join hosts, Kevin and Young John, as they discuss whether WWE can ever go home again. And, even if it can, does the company really want to revive the “Attitude Era?” Dave Batista’s recent controversial comments about John Cena are closely examined, along with WWE’s gradual transition from “shock TV” to a more family friendly product. What happened to the “ass-kickin’” good guys in pro wrestling? And just how does Kane’s masked return to RAW relate to all of this? Kevin and John’ll tell you!

PLUS: brand new songs from hardcore bands Total Defeat and Midstress, along with music from Red Tape Parade and Shinsplints.

TBHWrestling NewsWire for 12-13-2011


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.

What if the Royal Rumble was for the WWE Title? What are Jack Tunney’s chances at making it into the WWE Hall of Fame? What is Psycho Sid’s favorite art supply, and how does he use it? Find out the answers to all of these questions AND MORE on this week’s BSH!

With DJ under the weather, Brady Hicks and Anthony Sarlo are joined this week IN THE ROOM by an old friend, as the long-elusive Kevin McElvaney visits the show for the first time in months. What has Kevin been up to? And what are his thoughts on CM Punk, the hottest angle wrestling has seen in years, SummerSlam, Kevin Nash, and so much more. Plus, the gang breaks down TNA Impact, taking a special look at the magpie incident from a few weeks back, and Kevin recalls a Legends ppv – historic for all the wrong reasons – he recently watched. A great listen as always!

It’s Official — The Miz is #1

Cover by Kappa Publishing Group

“Of course, I’m number one. I’m the Miz. I’m awesome. The other 499 never had a chance.”–30-year-old former WWE heavyweight champion, in a phone interview with PWI’s Al Castle. 

I’ve wanted to tell you guys for months … but now it’s official and you can look for the issue starting August 16th. In MY mind, there was never any question that The Miz accomplished more this past year (June ’10-May ’11) to earn top billing in the PWI 500 than any other wrestler out there.

There was some skepticism when I presented my argument in the office (and in ensuing weeks after our May meeting when it seemed The Miz couldn’t buy a clean win). But I - and one or two of my peers - held our ground, and eventually won over the others. In my own mind, I never lost sight of all that The Miz has accomplished during the grading period. Call him a chicken. Call him a fluke. Whatever. The Miz proved this past year that he is for real. Who else in wrestling has accomplished all of the following?

  • Six-month reign as WWE champion.
  • Winning every title for which he was eligible (WWE, US, and Tag).
  • Money In The Bank winner.
  • Successful title defense in WrestleMania main event.
  • Pinfall victories over John Cena, Randy Orton, R-Truth, John Morrison, Daniel Bryan, and Jerry Lawler.

Thoughts? You’re probably not going to change my mind … but I’m curious.

IN THE ROOM

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!
