I second that. This was the topic that put Something to wrestle on the map and starting the success for Bruce and Conrad and how they got the almost 80K subscribers they have.
i like shane, but after hearing this, and his story about being involved with the click, i think hes a typical wrestler, being hes full of shit. loving to put himself over
I feel Bruce is doin’ his best...if any of you were in his shoes there’s no way you’d trash a lucrative job you love so a podcast could be more “edgy” and anti-WWE. The time is an issue but we all knew that would be the case.
Amen. I still always enjoy the podcast. I think people were expecting a 3-4 hr podcast since not only was it the 20th anniversary of when the Radicals jumped to the World Wrestling Federation but we were revisiting the topic from episode 8 that put the show on the map. It was cool that we did with Conrad's notes of Dave Meltzer. Always funny when Conrad uses them cause we all know how full of shit Meltzer is.
Last time they did this he didn't have that job. He's just an apologist. Company man to the last gasp. Notice how he never talks when Vince is drinking water.
The openings used to be kinda cool with all of Bruce's impressions. Now they've ruined it by having Lardass shill for his business. There should be a timestamp printed in the description to skip all that BS.
Basically..we all miss the show’s original format prior to Brice’s WWE return. I appreciate Bruce & Connie’s decision to keep STW intact, and continuing the same output of a new show per week (for the most part). However, the topics reviewed under the shorter shows since the WWE rehire (60-90 min) are getting shafted time quality wise. And watch along shows were done when Bruce had additional free time during Thanksgiving/Xmas vacation - instead of utilizing the extra time to produce a non-watch episode. Watch alongs tend to not promote a more detailed oriented format and cuts off the open ended Q&A based off Connie’s Meltzer textbook. I BITCH ON YOUR IDEA - BUT DO SO WITH MY SUGGESTION 😁 Cut from weekly to bi-weekly new shows. Utilize additional week/time to produce episodes on par with those pre WWE rehire. And during the year, work in a few bonus shows targeted for off-week release, as opportunity provides.
Another suggestion would be do a "The Best of Something to Wrestle"/Highlight show (From Macho Man onward) which they haven't done since the Houston Flood/Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
I understand Bruce's reasoning for why they didn't debut the Radicalz at the 2000 Rumble. But at the same time, wasn't that the same Rumble match where they replaced a bunch of lower card talent (Kaientai, Mean Street Posse...) at the last minute with people who had to pull double duty (Acolytes, Outlaws, Chyna, Jericho...) to add "star power" to it? The Radicalz could've taken some of those spots.
Yeah 2000 was the rumble that was replaced by the star power of Acolystes, Outlaws, Chyna and Jericho who pulled double duty cause the feeling was that you had to work double duty in order for the rumble to succedd. I think Bruce was hesistant to bring them in the first place cause Chris was the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. I was glad when Chris left given the history of Kevin and him. If he stayed, his reign would have been a joke cause Kevin would have been a vindictive man cause Nancy left him for Chris.

@@handsolo1209 Sullivan had Benoit "win the belt" with Sids leg under the rope so he could reverse the decision. It was a screw job from the start.

He wanted an out with the boys by telling them that Sid was just in the wrong place and he did want Benoit to win. It was evil, yet genius move.
i listened to the original radicalz episode when it was new,and i may be remembering wrong but im 50 minutes into this episode and its the same exact stuff
How come they arent doing any 2000 shows? It’s the 20 year anniversary but they missed royal rumble 2000 and they announce they’re doing 2005 pay per views
Being Goldberg, Hogan, Sting, DDP, Savage, etc and going to WWF would mean something. Benoit holding that belt would be like Funaki beating Undertaker for the WWF belt. It would mean shit after that.
Well if this episode doesn't prove that Bruce stopped caring about the podcast I don't know what does. It's just short, cold, one word answers. He's annoyed at every question and he's rushing through it. If you don't have time to do the show properly don't do it at all. That's how I see it anyway.
@@danielescalera6638 The Buyrate of WMXX was considered a big disappointment by everybody. The expectations was 1+ million buys. It completely failed that goal.
@@danielescalera6638 So what? Doesn't change the fact that the buyrate was bad which is directly related to Benoit and Guerrero being midcarders who simply never should've been in the Main Event. Again: They both completely bombed, the numbers are out there and they prove it. These are cold hard facts. Why not simply accept how it is? It ain't my fault that the term Vanilla Midget is true and it ain't my fault that those 2 never drew, just as it isn't my fault that Vince or whoever was dumb enough to push them way above their ceiling and thus completely expose their inability to draw.
@Nich Hodge I knew someone wouldn't understand the analogy.... I said what Benoit did would have wiped ANYONE'S legacy. Like even the greatest of all time like Flair, Hogan, etc... their legacy would be wiped as well of they did the horrific thing Benoit did. Get it?
Here's what I don't get............ If Eddie Guerrero was hurt, then why change the finish of the Triple H/Chris Benoit match and have Trips go over instead ? How would Chris Benoit going over have affected anything ? They coulda just had Perry, Chris and Dean sweep DX to earn their spots, and just have Eddie as their "manager" until he was ready to come back. (which BTW, is what they ultimately ended up doing anyway) So, why change the ending to the match, if it wasn't going to affect the story either way ? That makes absolutely no sense to me. Sounds to me this was done simply to placate to either Trips, Vince or both. And if the reason BEHIND it, was to "subvert expectaions" as Bruce claims, then why wasn't that the plan from the START. Having this be Plan B, instead of Plan A makes ZERO SENSE given the reasoning behind it.
Listening back, I just get tired of Conrad making it sound like WWF buried these guys. Within a month or two all these guys had won championships and headlined shows. The story WWF wanted to tell is that going into the HHH/Benoit match is that they were 1-1 and that everyone got screwed by Triple H and DX, and that the only way to get their jobs back was by turning heel and joining Triple H. That's good heel heat and it obviously worked. Wins and losses matter, but at the end of the day it's not what everyone remembers.
This episode was a giant disappointment considering Conrad has been hyping it for over a month. Really, nothing significant was added to the old episode and the "research" seemed non-existent considering he couldn't even get the timeline of the debut angle straight. How about a follow up question on how the decision was made to have a WCW guy make the current WWF champ tap out on TV (even if the ref didn't see it)? So much for Triple H "burying" everyone. Bruce seems completely uninterested in talking about anyone besides Eddie but clearly there was gigantic plans for Benoit immediately that we won't hear about

What kind of dumbass is gonna shoot down someone they're working with at the moment. That's like when people got mad about Seth Rollins praising WWE. You really think it's a good career move to shit on a soon to be or current employer on a worldwide spectrum like the wrestling business is?
I’m not trying to defend Russo cause I can’t stand him but is it possible he knows an informant at the hotel that could recognize four famous wrestlers regardless of the names they checked in under?
Prichard, full of shit as usual- WWE and Vince McMahon have a history of contract tempering: Lex Luger in 1992 and Sid Vicious in 1991 to name just two. McMahon also tried to get Harley Race to no-show Starrcade 83.
I'm getting sick and tired of the Benoit treatment. I'm not condoning what he did, but I guess I view it as an accident or not the real him that did those things. Eddie, Brian, Louie, Rick, Chris Candido and others were all tragically taken from us way too son. In all these cases, there were outside forces that caused them. I don't view the Benoit situation as any different. You can argue steroid use if you want, but the wrestling industry would've pushed him in that direction being on the smaller side and wanting to compete with the giants. You can definitely argue things like CTE and look at other examples like the suicide of Junior Seau and Mike Awesome. Those two things, the pressure to use steroids and the effects and causes of CTE, are what the WWE is really trying to erase from it's history and distance itself from. Chris Benoit is just a victim of that, too. Nobody's ever going to change my mind on this and have fun collecting your Saudi blood money, WWE.
It's a weird situatuon. While I understand WWE's stance on it, I can still view his work as I can separate work from the person. The dude was one of the best in ring performers. Definitely one of the most realistic workers.
Conrad, You're killing me with all the ads on your podcasts. There's been a massive increase and it's now a chore to even skip them. I don't begrudge you a few dollars but you're already wealthy and these ads are painful to listen to. I've listened to every podcast and put money in your pocket but you're driving me away with the shilling.
I wish someone would mention to Bruce that Benoit was diagnosed with CTE with his brain so decayed that he had no control over his actions. Blaming Benoit for something he had no control over is simply cruel and unfair.
@Mike The Scott Wrong. No one knew of CTE until after he was gone and he certainly didn't know he had CTE because it still cannot be verified until after death to autopsy the brain.
Somebody should give you a reality check. If that was the case, he wouldn't even be able to work in the ring. If his brain was that shot, everybody would've noticed it and done something. It's sad that marks can't accept reality and rather find ridiculous, shit excuses to defend something horrible. Considering the fact that Chris beat up Nancy countless of times before it, it's obvious that he simply was a violent idividual. After all, Nancy wanted to put a restraining order on him in 2002 already. Something made him snap. I rather believe that he simply saw red when Nancy told him that she is filing for divorce (second time) and this time means it. That's a hell of a lot more believable than the retarded "but his brain! CTE!" nonsense marks want to believe because they can't handle or accept the ugly truth.
Mike The Scott LOL that’s like saying if you drive a car and a drunk driver kills you it’s your fault because you didn’t take precautions such as not driving a car. Fuck off out of here with that mentality. And no, he nor they knew the risks of CTE back then. That’s been stated a thousand times and is why WWE no longer allow chair shots to the head (which sucks for viewers because they were classic, but alas it was bad for the workers!)
@@melaniel.4269 You are in desperate need of checking facts and reality as you put it. People suffering with CTE are prone to violent outbursts against themselves or others and eventually they kill others and then themselves or just kill themselves. There's been so many cases of this documented it boggles the mind that anyone could find someone at fault with this horrible brain condition literally eating away their lives. Verne Gagne for instance was a long time wrestler who had CTE that snapped and killed someone he was playing checkers with. He wasn't some violent thug like you are trying to portray Benoit to be. His brain simply deteriorated to the point he snapped and killed someone. Benoit's brain when they studied it was that of a late term Alzheimer's patient in his late 80's and Benoit was nowhere near that old. He had profound CTE damage in his brain. Blaming people who had a serious and literally mind altering medical condition for their actions is unfair. Blame CTE for this.
Man, this is the best podcast out there. I love all of Conrad Thompson's podcasts, but Bruce is always going to be the best!
