    Conrad: Spends thirty minutes antagonizing Bruce

    Conrad: "You need to stop or you're going to ruin the show."

      David Hall oh man dude, imagine if the company was able to get all the legit wcw guys right away? That invasion angle would have been the best storyline in wrestling history. 2001 Austin vs Goldberg, Austin vs Hogan. Austin vs Sting. Rock vs. Goldberg, Rock vs Sting. Taker vs Sting, Taker vs Goldberg. Etc etc etc. Would have been HUGE!

    The first 2 years of the brand split Smackdown was by far the better show. RAW felt like more of the sports entertainment show where as Smackdown felt like the wrestling show. That Smackdown roster in late 02-03 was stacked as hell.

    The only problem I ever had with the brand split was Raw is always Vince's baby. Something gets over on Smackdown, months later Vince bring it to Raw and hamstrings Smackdown.

    • @TheeBawdyMonkey
      @TheeBawdyMonkey 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      But the periods when Vince grabbed someone from Smackdown to Raw, yet Smackdown eventually builds up again ahead of Raw -- that's the story of the "transition of power" in the long term... Not to sound like I'm giving a promo for the WWE Network (screw that, it's still the WWF to me!,) but NXT was the harbinger and 205 Live is now following -- subscribers are the testbed... The "true" fans are slowly but surely guiding the ship... The WWE as a company, as a whole, realises that there will be ebbs and flows with the general viewer, but it's the core audience that truly matters in the long term. It's a fine line to walk as a publicly traded company, but it seems like it'll eventually work itself out (I hope! 😜)

      Here's why you don't get business: You produce cars and GM pays you $150 million to make Cadillac and $30 million to make Buick. If your team designs something for Buick that works, you're a goddamn idiot not to shift it to Cadillac, because that makes you the most money. Then when GM says, "Hey, why don't you treat Buick like Cadillac?", you reply, "Well you give me $150 million for Buick and $150 million for Cadillac then they'll be treated equal"...and you know who you don't share that reality with? The marks that buy both brands.

    Great episode. The part about HBK giving Triple H the cold shoulder dates back to January 2001 when HBK was supposed to be on a RAW segment & in a production meeting people were asking has anyone seen Shawn? Triple H responded by saying "I saw him earlier & he was totally out of it"--Implying about his pain killer addiction.
    HBK talked about this in his book. He & Triple H didn't talk for a year

    I guess it's because I just don't take these kinds of things too seriously, but I never minded the brands intermingling occasionally, or guys jumping ship or starting feuds with the other show. All I had at the time was Smackdown, so getting to occasionally see RAW guys/girls was a real treat for me. To me it would make sense for certain guys to jump ship if a better offer came up as it kinda reminded me of the Monday Night Wars. I also viewed Stone Cold as having put "option clauses" in his contract to make sure he got the most amount of money possible as a middle finger to the boss, much like how certain athletes can veto being traded to certain teams, same with the NWO if they're all on the same contract, and if I remember correctly the Benoit situation was more of a "Where Eddie goes I go" and simply renegotiated his contract. I could also buy Eric Bischoff screwing the rules just to mess with a McMahon. I guess I'm just easy to please lol. Great podcast by the way, friends. Keep up the great work.

    • @ajk
      @ajk 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I actually personally side with Vince too on the Big 4. Why would you from a business standpoint make those brand specific? They are your biggest events of the year! Why WOULDN'T you want to make them a supershow? To me it'd have been a mistake to not. Nothing is special/big then if you don't put em together there. You saw that in a way with last year's Smackdown MITB too, not the same as if they had put the brands together, and they obviously knew it because they are back together this year (granted all PPVs are going to be cobranded now again, but still even before that was announced they were gonna make that one cobranded). It just makes business sense to make your big events as big as you can make them.

    Ric Flair’s 50% ownership in company was not on the line during his match with Undertaker at WM 18. In storyline, the board stripped Flair of ownership power if he went thru with match at mania and gave Vince 100% control until Mania and would review the decision after Mania. It was never on line in Mania match. Am I wrong? Watch Mania 18 on WWE network right now and find out. Even Bruce remembers things wrong.

    I always liked the original brand split, where there was 1 WWE Champion and he was on both shows. It's annoying now days when they say, so in so is a 15x world champion. Yeah cause there are 2 world champions now

    Many people hate hearing the name "Dave Meltzer". Marks like Conrad only talk to other marks

    The original brand split killed WWF as a household name. They should have scaled back and let competition like TNA or ROH revive interest in wrestling. Instead they saturated the market "competing with themselves."

    I'm not certain I ever seen a "journalist" that has so much pull in their field. My counterpoint is I never heard of him until like the early 2000s. Somehow I had stayed a loyal fan since the mid 80s. Without ever hearing his opinions. Stayed a fan another 15 years and still never have read any of his opinions. Of course I'll never know how much this hurt my quality of life.

    That guy Conrad was talking about in the 13:00 mark is Brian Last. Co-host of the Jim Cornette Experience.

      I've just started listening to both of these podcasts in the past few months and has anyone else noticed that Brian Last sounds like a young Paul Heyman and Conrad sounds like a young JR?

      ty man! Came to the youtube version to see if someone knew who it was:) Never liked Brian Last much. too much of a water carrier. Needs to challenge Cornette sometimes to make the show better, just like conrad does to bruce. Would suck if Conrad never questioned anything

    Why does Conrad get upset when Bruce calls out another bogus report at the 49:33 mark. "If we're gonna have a good show you got to stop." Ok so Bruce should just play along with Conrad's tabloid sources and not call them out for being bullshit?

    Hate the brand split... Watered everything down. Muddys the pecking order. Decreases tag teams. Makes world titles mean less. We had JBL as a champion for a year!!!! Its what made me stop watching wrestling every week.

    • @keithcrockett5675
      @keithcrockett5675 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      White Ranger Radio .. I find it funny how ppl talk about JBL, HHH, CENA AND ROMAN'S IN RING WORK and why they shouldn't ever been champion... YET OTHERS LIKE.... GUERRERO, BENOIT & MICHAELS BECOME CHAMPION AND HAVE DEMONS.... BUT THOSE ARE THE ONES PEOPLE WANT TO SEE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE "ISSUES"...

    Wrestling Observer with Meltzer is just a microcosm of how people receive their news media now, they listen to people for so called entertainment purposes, but eventually they actually accept them as real news. It's true from Wrestling to Politics.
