The wrestling stuff is annoying. Just stop. I used to be excited for Bombcast but it’s always wresting this and shoot that.

Adding my voice to the growing chorus of folks finding it hard to suffer Giant Bomb becoming a gaming/wrestling site. I'm a handful of "shoots" shy of just walking away. If you want your site to be about wrestling, rebrand it as such instead of just letting it seep across otherwise listenable content.

Glad you guys are back, that was a lonely week (I don't watch thing live). I'm starting a 2nd chorus for people who don't give a damn about which words you guys choose to use, wrestling or otherwise. Glad the store is up, been wanting the hat Jib was wearing for a while now and chose the exact week the store went down originally to get one! Also, lots of teases for the stuff being put on this week, can't wait to get to them!

It definitely has the vibe of a monkey’s paw wish that multiple site users complain that Dan isn’t on the Bombcast enough, and then when he is on, the audience realizes they’re getting 2023 Dan whose vocabulary has passed the wrestling event horizon. Shoot, gimmick, heat, etc.

I do wish more of the staff were over wrestling, but sadly in the current lineup it seems like only Bakalar fits that category. Everybody else is a pretty active fan so it seems to come up all the time. Can’t win ‘em all, I guess.
