This is hands down, one of the most entertaining podcasts right now. I'm loving JBL's stories, (and his McMahon impersonation is hysterical by the way). I'm making dinner while I listen to this and laughing my t*** off. Guy deserves his own podcast.
LMAO He has one "Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw" alongside Gerald Briscoe where it's not a structured but they just have hilarious conversations with guys from the business and tell hilarious stories. Did you know John Wayne Bobbitt was the DUMBEST human being that Val Venis has ever met in his entire life? th-cam.com/video/0LqLQ4s9ICY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZPyHglS3ladm38Gv
He has a great show with Gerald Briscoe where they just get together with guys and shoot the s*** telling hilarious stories. Not quite as structured as this, but many of the episodes like the one with Val venis were great listens and some hilarious s*** was revealed
This should be fun. I hope Conrad ask him about Stings match at Manla. Because they definitely had the agenda to make Sting look like he was Small time compared to Hunter.
@@jasonberg6550Bruce is a corporate stooge for VKM and hates CM Punk … Bruce Pritchards assessment of Punk is he’s not a hard worker doesn’t have the body and can’t get over on the mic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was amazing. But to say Kevin Dunn had nothing to do with th crazy camera cuts does not add up considering the cuts stopped when Dunn was escorted out
I'm loving JBL filling in. I do hope he has his own podcast. He has been wrestling for so many years, one of the few who wrestled during the New Generation, Attitude era and the Ruthless Aggression era.
This was a great one, here's a modern thing that makes no sense that no one questions...Why in extreme matches or segments do they still have Singapore canes in the building when no one's had a Singapore cane gimmick since 2005+2007 literally only Steve Blackman and sandman ever used them but they're still magically under the ring 20 years later 😂
The belt (cummerbund) represents the title (World Heavyweight, WWE, Intercontinental, United States). You cannot hold the 'title', you can acquire the belt which means you are the current holder of the title. The only words that can be used for this are belt or championship. The title is a rank, the belt is the representation of that rank.
Vince will always be the greatest of all time while 99% internet chat had problem with Vince over decades, I never did always back him up without Vince everything be in bingo hall JBL there with Jessie and Bobby 3 greatest Heel commentary
I never believed that JBL bully stuff at all.There's certain things this new generation doesnt understand and they never will because they let everything offend them. After listening to these podcasts i have a new found respect for JBL the man. Simply incredible. And Conrad? You should be proud, this is great work!!
Most of it isn't even bullying as most people 40 and over would consider it all. Most of it was Just good old fashioned ballbusting which is sadly a foreign concept to many people these days. Check out Clint Eastwood's character Walt when he visits his Barber in the movie Gran Torino and you'll know what I mean. Yeah they're saying some just Savage s*** to each other but it's actually a compliment or a sign of friendship and respect. It is not intended actually as a legitimate insult it's the same idea as holding a roast for your buddy. If you are clueless to roasting and ballbusting and you do not realize the context the person is actually meaning it, you're just going to hear that horrible s*** and think the guy hates you. Plus you look at all the stuff he has done with the rugby helping gang kids in Bermuda including climbing mountains to raise funds. He seems to be a very nice big-hearted kind guy for somebody who is such a bully and an a******🙄 The dumbest one was some former commentator wrote a book where he said JBL was bullying The Miz and Morrison after a match because they didn't celebrate with the belts hard enough... The two of them won a hard-fought match to win the Tag Team Championships for the first time and rather than grab the belts, hold the belts up high and celebrate their win and the fact they were now champions, they just casually were handed the belts and walked out of the ring.🤔 JBL rightfully gave them severe s*** for doing as soon as they came back through the curtains that because they basically took a giant dump on the world tag team belts and made them look worthless. Why should the fans care about the World Tag Team Championships if the guys who just became champions don't care about winning them? You don't have to be a pro wrestler to realize that makes all the sense in the world that he would be giving them s*** for that.
Belt and Championship isn't an insider term it is used literally everywhere aside from WWE. "A belt is what holds up your pants", yeah and a title is a paper showing you own a car. What's your point? Trying to hinder the use of universally used and long standing terms so that you can appease some old man's OCD is just insane and screams out of touch... I mean it "worked" so well that the vast majority of fans hated it, the writers acknowledged it on the show, and the current owners threw it out. WWE wasn't a big enough entity outside of the wrestling bubble by that point to try and gaslight fans into saying these super mainstream words and terms that predate WWE itself was a super dumb idea.
How does this make sense where Conrad gets bleeped when he says the f-word in the list But yet, can just outright say it after he’s done Explain that MR SILVA!?
JBL is fascinating it’s been great getting to know him. All the shi t this guy got, and all the judgment from people who believe they are morally superior and on the right side of history. Question are you building schools in Africa? I’ve actually seen this guy called a racist!! He’s best friend with Ron Simmons and BUILDS SCHOOLS IN AFRICA!! but because he is from Texas and is a republican “he must be racist” fine maybe the guy is an asshole. But he’s obviously truly a good person.
The only people that d9nt like him are the woke snowflakes that get offended by everything. Their opinion doesn't count, I guarantee they have stepped in a locker room. They have no idea how men talk.
@JBL I work with Bob Shipley (former football coach at Abilene Christian) and he said you were one of his players and hawked a loogie on John Randle’s hand to hype him up! Is this true?? Any good stories about Coach Shipley?
Michael cole is great an all time great even. Nobody even comes close to JR when it comes to commentary he has the most memorable calls in the history of wrestling imo
I respect what Vince did for the business, but running the top wrestling promotion and hating the words pro wrestler means you are ashamed of the business. Im glad that Michael Cole and others are allowed to say PRO WRESTLING instead of always saying sports entertainment.
Idk if anyone ever argued that shows during covid wouldnt be great for the company, since nothing was on...the issue was peoples health. Did wwe get more money on the sale? Yep, did wrestlers also get covid and suffer? Yep.
It seems to be common consensus amongst all the wrestling podcasters that Meltzer is insignificant. An outsider trying to break in… a joke of a journalist. So why does Conrad always quote Meltzer and state the rating that was given by Meltzer for a particular match?
Jbl is a great fill in host - idk why he doesn't have his own podcast. Conrad, however, continues to be hypocrite. He's been DOGGING Vince over the past year due to allegations by his gold digging, kinky lover - buuuut now is giving him his props. If you actually had respect for what Vince has done for wrestling, you would also give him the benefit of the doubt in these allegations (hell, most of the allegations are called "kinks" in non-vanilla lifestyles..). Either respect Vince or don't - stop flip flopping. 🙄
Well for one JBL does have his own podcast with Gerald Brisco so shows how much you know 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️.. And u can be critical of somebody and still give them props 🤡
@@BMoney04I can't take anyone serious that has "money" in their chosen nickname 😅 I'll try to calm my life and research all the wrestling podcast before any more comments 😉
"We are standing on the pillars that Vince and Kevin Dunn built". Give me a break, wrestling was a thriving industry long before Vince built his sports entertainment empire.
Oh please. Vince turned a regional northeast promotion into a worldwide billion dollar empire. Who else did that?? Nobody!! We are only here because of him!
I absolutely love John doing this show, however this narrative of people having this belittling perspective of wrestling in the past as opposed to the modern era is absolutely revisionist history. Wrestling was selling out arenas and was never in bowling alleys and pool halls like he said. He’s been around wwe for so long he actually believes it.
No he literally lived it before WWF, ask Austin how glamorous the territories were literally starving to death eating potatoes or bob holly frying bologny on his car engine
I don't dislike Michael Cole because he was a heel or because he's untalented as a play by play guy, I dislike Michael Cole because he isn't a great announcer. I was in my 20's and had been following wrestling since I was 3, so when Cole did his heel gimmick so I wasn't a child who didn't get it. It's not JR nostalgia either. I didn't have JR above Monsoon or Tony Schiavone like everyone else does either. Michael Cole just isn't anything special. It's not that he is unqualified or that he can't do the gig itself as well as JR or Gorilla could, it's just because there's nothing special about him. He's the commentary version of John Cena. He's the ampitimy of modern day revisionist history and not genuine organic credibility.
So basically it's a Vince love story. JBL is and always has been a Vince guy. Wasn't expecting him to bash him but atleast thought he'd take his bias hat off and express his real opinions not defend everything
This is hands down, one of the most entertaining podcasts right now. I'm loving JBL's stories, (and his McMahon impersonation is hysterical by the way). I'm making dinner while I listen to this and laughing my t*** off. Guy deserves his own podcast.

Agree 💯

No, he has his own podcast. He can't talk about the Golden Era like Bruce can because he wasn't around.
Also the fact that we get new episodes every week. Bruce had like 10 new episodes in the last two years
No losing Brucey.
This should be fun. I hope Conrad ask him about Stings match at Manla. Because they definitely had the agenda to make Sting look like he was Small time compared to Hunter.
Bringing JBL was a great move.. I was skeptical at first but I was pleasantly surprised after listening.
A podcast... God
Might be the best episode yet.
In my best Vince text voice… “HAHAHA Good shyt, pal!”
When Bruce returns it would be cool to see a couple episodes with both him and John together.
I'll drink to that
"you see a guy in a white suit standing by a bowl of pudding, you push him in" I just realized that JBL is Bart Simnpson if he was 6-4 250
JBL’s reaction to vince calling him during covid was hilarious to me! but also shows how loyal these guys were, and probably always will be, to him!
As well they should be. It's not their problem that some gold digger is trying to drag Vince's name thru the mud.
Call me spoiled but I really really wish all these had time stamps😕
06:05 - Best Line told by JBL
JBL is entertaining as fuck.
Finally here!first one here perfectly time can listen while I get ready for work
😂😂 That Evender story slayed me lol. "It's going into his dressing room" 😂😂😂
JBL is doing a great job replacing Bruce which is hard to do.
Mf acting like replacing Bruce in _anything_ is a compliment 😂
Well Paul Bearer replaced him too and that turned out pretty good .. Paul Bearers voice : Nooooooooooo Undertaker 😂😂😂😂

Excellent podcast today
JBL is one of the best story tellers.
Yh he is ive really enjoyed the shows ive seen i gotta catch up Bruce ep taker Ron and tribute to troops but ive hear few eps been really good
I'm loving JBL filling in. I do hope he has his own podcast. He has been wrestling for so many years, one of the few who wrestled during the New Generation, Attitude era and the Ruthless Aggression era.
I always enjoyed JBL as a wrestler. I’m enjoying his podcasting even more, though. He’s very funny and articulate. Great show.
Can you imagine a JBL/Ron Simmons podcast?😮 John is drunk as hell, and is enjoying a life after hard work, fucking hilarious! APA Podcast.
Great show!😊
Love JBL’s Vince impression. 🤣
Vince openly deciding what he's going to do to punish Michael is so hilarious
This was a great one, here's a modern thing that makes no sense that no one questions...Why in extreme matches or segments do they still have Singapore canes in the building when no one's had a Singapore cane gimmick since 2005+2007 literally only Steve Blackman and sandman ever used them but they're still magically under the ring 20 years later 😂
Coles commentary for the Punk-Mcintyre Hell In The Cell match is up there with the best calls of all times in my opinion.
Never heard of Jesse Ventura? Easily the goat of wrestling commentary. The first heal on a mic.
JBL should be permanently on this show.
No. He has his own show and he can't talk about the Golden Era like Bruce can.
JBL is great.
This podcast is such good shit 😅
Red ass JR incoming 😂
I always stay up past midnight on New years eve since I was younger
Hell yea. You little rebel
Im 66
JBL with Conrad needs to be a permanent thing. I am loving it 🎉❤
The employees took their freedom after Vince had gone but they appreciate his creation in the wrestling business
Michael Jordan used to carry his own bag into the arena.
Only in wrestling can ya get interview with world famous for free.
What are you talking about, Conrad? Russo doesn't have fans. He only has himself and Ed Ferrara on multiple accounts on multiple platforms. 😂😂😂
Spanish is excellent. Worth checking out.
The belt (cummerbund) represents the title (World Heavyweight, WWE, Intercontinental, United States). You cannot hold the 'title', you can acquire the belt which means you are the current holder of the title. The only words that can be used for this are belt or championship.

Love Vince, nothing but respect for him.
Listening to jbl lately makes me realize how strong my Texas accent is cause jbl and I talk just alike
Keep this up jbl is a great storyteller could we get an q and a with jbl
How do we make jbl permanent feature ? Been watching these after I fell off from watching Bruce

Conrad should keep doing podcasts with JBL
Bruce is gonna be jealous of how much Bradshaw is glazing Vince
How does this make sense where Conrad gets bleeped when he says the f-word in the list
But yet, can just outright say it after he’s done
Explain that MR SILVA!?
In the list?
Ya, there was a point in this where he got bleeped for saying certain words
This was a great episode. Fire Bruce and keep John.
If you listen to these shows with JBL you definitely have a greater appreciation of him as a performer but more so as a person
This needs to be a real podcast even once Bruce comes back. Just make it a spin off
I want to know if Bruce and his family are ok. Any updates?
Vince-a-Roonie
These stories are fucking amazing
I believe JBL was on commentary for mania 23
55:15 wcw much?
bruce who 🎉
Bruce who? Just one of the greatest of all times. There's only one Bruce Prichard.
He called it like it is about Evander😂😂😂😂
JBL is fascinating it’s been great getting to know him. All the shi t this guy got, and all the judgment from people who believe they are morally superior and on the right side of history.

Greeting from Saudi Arabia to the wrestling god
Can you pls cover the Vince scandal with JBL since he’s not one of his stooges
Good shit pal
Michael Cole has called multiple different moves the michinoku driver 😂 idk if I'd say he's up there with JR or Gordon Soley.
I'm LOVING JBL!!
Keep JBL!
Pritchard move down the bench
Michael cole is great an all time great even. Nobody even comes close to JR when it comes to commentary he has the most memorable calls in the history of wrestling imo
My prediction is Vince will recreate what he took down. He will recreate the regional territories. Idk how but money can do things.
1:38:48. Wow
This was AMAZING!!! The forbidden words segment was funny and informative
I respect what Vince did for the business, but running the top wrestling promotion and hating the words pro wrestler means you are ashamed of the business. Im glad that Michael Cole and others are allowed to say PRO WRESTLING instead of always saying sports entertainment.
Be you so lucky to take the bull by the horn's the way Kerwin did , getting into the business. That's a story for the ages
Russo fans? Those don't ACTUALLY exist...correct?
Why is “getting down to the short strokes” offensive?

It seems to be common consensus amongst all the wrestling podcasters that Meltzer is insignificant. An outsider trying to break in… a joke of a journalist. So why does Conrad always quote Meltzer and state the rating that was given by Meltzer for a particular match?
Maybe because he is the only source to quote from. Can you name five other wrestling journalists who have a documented career that goes back as far?
Conrad does 95% of the talking
