Will Giant Bomb be there this year? Oh, the X-Pac/Yoshihiro Tajiri match from Summer Slam 2001 was great....Actually the entire event was great. Hopefully this year could be %40 as good as it was 14 years ago .

I haven't watched wrestling in over 20 years, but this video is an instant classic. Well done, everyone. Well done.

PS: now I'm surfing the net for pocket knives and Steve Austin's podcast, so thanks for that.

This video was incredible. Stardust is like pro wrestling's John Drake, and Steve Austin is a really strong speaker. Nice to have weird stuff like this on the site.

1. How is Stardust not the World Champion, Intercontinental Champion, Tag Team Champion, Hardcore Champion, and literally any other fucking "Champion" title we can throw at him? Pure fucking greatness.

2. Damien Sandow just interviewed Alex and Dan about PAX Royal Rumble, and that is fucking hilarious and bananas. I can only hope that there will be actual wrestlers in attendance and that they will do actual wrestler things.

Dans t-shirt (seconds 21-31)

Note: please disregard the remainder of the video after second 31 (Giantbomb doesn't seem to recognize when I add the edited down end time I've put within the video link)...or do so -it's up to you and solely dependent on whether or not this film is as near and dear to you as it is to me - but it's not as poignant to certain specified articles of clothing worn by a particular Giantbomb staff within the video above as the first few seconds are.

Fantastic. Star Dust is superb!

I don't watch wrestling and didn't have any idea who most of them were, but this is the most fun I've had with a Giantbomb video in quite a while.

@legendarychopchop: About Brad.... Jeff Gerstmann is audibly against DOTA... but you know thats SORT of a joke, right? Jeff obviosuly respects DOTA. Of COURSE Brad is giving them tons of shit about wrestling, but Brad has a sense of humor and loves dumb shit just as much as any of them. The wrestling stuff has been very entertaining to me because it is consistant with Giant Bomb's MO - dumb humor. It practically seems meant to be.

Giant Bomb is run by passionate personalities - they're gonna get on a little kick once in a while. Dan is hardly the REASON behind the wrestling madness - of courtse it coincidentally meshed with the recent talk of wrestling before he was hired but come on, we all trust Jeff and co. and it is reasonable to assume that this is not going to become a wrestling site

TLDR... I am a huge Giant Bomb fan and have 0% knowledge of wrestling, and I am loving learning about wrestling. Especially from my favorite personalities.

Also, I was going to make a jokey post that "this video alone legitimized Dan's position at the site"... but it's true, this video is a perfect example of why Dan can be a good addition to the site (I am impressed that he and Alex are able to roll with these guys and actually entertain them with fun questions, creating cool interviews). Really I am just loving the fact that Giant Bomb can go out into the world and prove to everyone that gaming websites are just a bunch of passionate people and not a bunch of nerds. I am also impressed that these wrestlers seem to be having more fun at this event than some people who WORK in the games industry.

I think Giant Bomb needs to stop playing games and pursue wrestling coverage full-time.

@duncanwithglue: Isn't the Network not out in the UK until October? I live in the UK and have been subscribed to it for months thanks to using a service but will be cancelling that once it hits the UK.

Once it hits here I'd be sure to wait to see how it's received before switching which version you're subbed to, I know in some countries (Canada in particular) the offering is a lot worse than the US version. The UK's delay and Sky in general don't fill me with hope.

For the two or three people complaining about wrestling content.. you could make the same argument about their obsession with fast food conversations. These guys talk about what they like. It's not always about the games. That's why we love them. We love the personality. If you want straight video games there are hundreds of options online.

This was a great video. I'll give you guys props for not marking the hell out on video though I imagine as soon as the cameras shut off you totally were. To be fair I would be too with at least half of these wrestlers. I'm jealous of you guys is what I'm trying to say. Thanks for this.

I have zero knowledge of, or interest in wrestling but I found this highly entertaining. Dan is a very good interviewer. That guy with the gold face paint was funny.

Yeah, Dan has been a great interviewer since he started at Game Informer. Watch this legendary interview as evidence:
