@thekingshorty: It's under the Interview Dumptruck feed; it confused me too for a second.

It was kind of funny how Jim Ross was treating this interview as if it was local Bay Area radio.

What an absolute gentleman he is. Also, a great interview, and I don't even like wrestling.

How did they get this interview? Like where do they even start? They only do a Wrestling podcast once a month, and I don't think there Video Game cred got them this interview. The only explanation is Dan's magical thinking Brad is always talking about. I guess I'm looking forward to the upcoming Obama interview.

This is the fucking best. I listen to the JR podcast every week (also the Steve Austin podcasts) and this is fucking synergy beyond my greatest expectations. I guess....get Stone Cold on now?

This is my favorite piece of GB content ever. Love how JR respects the videogame industry and I think the guys represented it extremely well. Well done everyone.

I kinda laughed when J.R brought up football and the Niners as examples. I could just imagine everyone in the room with a huge confused face.

Wow, never heard Jim Ross give an interview before and he blew me away. What a humble, classy guy. You can just tell he has the kind of honest respect for the fans that is far too uncommon in the entertainment world.

Great job guys, excellent interview.

Enjoyed the interview, thought you guys asked some nice questions. Dan's audible fistpump when JR mentioned Kansas City was pretty funny.

Shiiiit Jim Ross seemed totally down to hang out with the folks. Dan should totally try and get him for an episode of Danswers while he's in the area.

Like some others I'm curious how this came about. It feels like an extended "local radio" interview or something. I wonder if the big ole Giant Bomb network somehow got in touch with on of JR's people and he was sold this as a local spot for his one man show. Regardless its great content and really solid questions.

I don't watch wrestling, but damn if JR isn't a well spoken dude who has some interesting things to say about the wrestling industry and his place in it.

Good ole JR, man getting rid of him was the dumbest thing wwe has done. And this is in a long storied history of dumb things.
