I was kinda hoping Steve would give Dan his pocket knife.

I know absolutely nothing about wrestling. But Stardust is amazing and Steve Austin seems pretty legit.

Also I can't believe Dan and Jason have only been at GB for a few months. They, well Dan mostly because he's front facing, fit in so goddamn well, its like they've been here all along. I love it.

Hahaha that was so good! The wrestlers were pretty cool too! Man where as IGN might go and get hot interviews with the stars like "So what's it like to be in a game" Giant Bomb has this amazing alternate angle that didn't even really highlight the game more just the personalities. Great stuff.

Hulk Hogan lifted Yokozuna over his head in the 90's. I remember that.

I dont want to boast or anything, but it was one long skype call on a Friday night when my friends and I started, http://shittyvodka.com/ Now if we could just get that bit of Steve Austin promoting the site clipped out we would be golden :)

@sonicboyster Trust me, I AM ignoring it. Don't think for a second that I watched/listened to that. I'm just saying, this isn't a wrestling site and it's pretty much taken over a LOT of the bombcast and scoops and the wolf.

That's your problem then, since out of the 5 pages of comments there are only two negative posts, that's including yours. This video contains zero wrestling. People that do not watch wrestling are claiming how great the video is. Just watch the damn thing so you at least know what you're so dismissive of, or quit complaining about something you didn't even view.

I think you need to remember Jeff has even said many times that he wants this site to be many things and not just gaming.

Stardust should be in a proper video game. Like a brawler... or even a shoot-em-up/bullet hell.

Thanks Dan and Jason for the video!

Damien Sandow is slowly turning into Nick from New Girl. Like oddly buff Nick.

Oh and people should even see Cody Rhodes' old boot with the triforce on it. He wears the love of Zelda on his sle...ankle.

It's kinda sad how many people in the comments feel the need to justify their words with "I don't watch wrestling but..." Who gives a shit?

Also, Stardust isn't on anything. It's called being in character.

Plus, GREAT VIDEO!

Jesus, Stardust is amazing and possibly one of the best things in the WWE right now and so damn entertaining. Also Steve Austin is one intimidating guy when he stares at you.

But seriously, Stardust!

That photo of Dan with SCSA is almost as great as the one of Dan and Stardust.

Dan and Alex are fantastic at interviewing wrestlers, for what that's worth. Really well thought-out questions that provoked some interesting answers. Also anyone who hasn't listened to Steve Austin's podcast before should absolutely do so because it's magical. The guy is genuinely lovable and can riff non-stop for hours off the slightest influence.

I've gotta say, Cody pulls off Stardust really well. It makes a lot of sense, the Rhodes were getting a huge reaction when they teamed up last year (and they've been consistently fantastic to watch in the ring) but people still cling more to Goldust than they did to Cody.

Admittedly part of that was that Dustin has been doing the best work of his life since he came back for this run, but nevertheless the character obviously still works for people (albeit in a way which has changed since its introduction way back when). Whereas Cody, as handsome as he is, has always struggled to find something to differentiate himself from looking too much like a default Create-a-Wrestler. I think this works, he seems to be really enjoying himself, and he still gets to be incredible in the ring.
