I haven't watched wrestling since the days of Razor Ramone, but for some reason I love the Powebombcast.

I don't know where he's driving, but I can hear him turn, several times.

Giancarlo's groan at any mention of Michael Cole is my favorite thing.

Really good episode! Especially liked the discussion about the pretty casual homophobia in some parts of wrestling in the past that sticks out like a sore thumb if you go back and watch some of that content. Goldust might be the best example.

I just listened to the first 3 minutes and Jared has me terrified. I don't know if I can listen to the whole thing.

I love how often talking about old wrestling episodes gets Jeff to do his partially disgusted "oh ho ho" laugh.

I'm fairly sure this bombcast got me back into wrestling again.

I hope you're proud of yourselves.

As someone who grew out of wrestling it's funny to hear people take who's being pushed so seriously. Like finding a reason to stop watching wrestling is a bad thing.

Except they have nothing in common beyond "look at this stupid shit." Plus botchamania doesn't have Dean Ambrose doing Dusty Rhodes pitch for Shockmaster. Or any other wrestlers talking about all the stupid shit.

hey guys you mention your listenership at some point and it just thought it would be helpful to send you a comment. I could be an outlier but I care nothing for wrestling and know nothing about wrestling and yet I'm listening to this podcast. I've never understood wrestling but its kind of fascinating listening to you guys talk about it. I may not be the only one.

@kasswara: It's the normal GB podcast volume. The Skype people are a bit lower than the rest, but not by much.

Also, really love that podcast image.

I don't mean to be that guy, but did it sound to anyone else like one of the phone lines was masturbating with sand paper around the half hour mark?
