"Is this your idle animation?" is BY FAR the greatest wrestler interview question ever. PERIOD.
Fuck, I lost it.

@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.

@dallas_raines: Yeeeeeah, you don't really HAVE to play sophomoric or juvenile games though do you? Whereas wrestling is pretty much just for kids or a certain low IQ demographic. I bet there's a lot of cross over fans from NASCAR.

@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. It's hard to ignore! :)

I hearty boo-urns to your stereotyping, sir. And the last cast had maybe 15 or 20 minute of wrestling talk (guessing here) on a 3-hour show. I don't give a rat's hat for DOTA when Brad starts droning on about it, but I'll listen cuz i like the crew and know they'll move onto another topic.

It is not an exaggeration to say that "internet" wrestling fans have been waiting for months for these questions to be asked. The Miz being asked about Johnny Cage, and Stardust being asked about Starman. Fucking perfect.

I can't believe I watched this whole thing. It's actually amazing. Like stumbling onto a reality show that you can't take your eyes off.

But relative to us it most certainly is, I mean when you won't exactly go 'Holy shit that's a pretty small shark in the grand scheme of things' if one went up to you in the shores of Australia.

@highmountainshoecobbler: Dallas_Raines hit the nail on the head. If you want to pretend you're a super soldier saving princesses from aliens or fist fighting with bears nobody is going to judge you for doing it. Video games are about having stupid fun. Wrestling is about having stupid fun. Just have stupid fun.

Also you aren't being forced to consume all of Giantbomb's content. Just ignore the wrestling stuff.

The more wrestling on the site, the less interesting I am. How can anyone be entertained by this stuff and be over ten years old? :(

The average video game is every bit as juvenile as wrestling, the key difference is that wrestling is well aware of how stupid it is.

I thought the Stardust crazy schtick was getting little old in the interview, but then he did the bit about how big the sun is, and won me over again.

Time to buy a pocketknife.

I haven't watched wrestling in over 15 years. I don't know if I'm especially susceptible to Steve Austin or something but before this video was over I had already ordered a pocket knife for me and my younger brother as a Christmas gift in addition to subscribing to his podcast.

What are you turning me into Giant Bomb?!

Actually, after rewatching the part at 6min15 i am convinced Stardust needs to be a character in an horror game. He'd fit in a Manhunt type game so well.
